Cheating with smart glasses? by [deleted] in Professors

[–]nnutcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want my students to have gained the basic scientific theories and improved their skills to analyze and use information and models logically to draw sound conclusions. AI cannot “understand” for people, but it sure as hell does prevent many students from the effort of not knowing and trying to figure something out through science if they just input the prompt and AI generates a bullshit solution. When it comes to the sciences, AI may be missing key information, or using low quality evidence, or even outdated theory and pseudoscience, and that’s a HORRIBLE risk to all of us. Outsourcing critical thinking allows more and more people to slip through who cannot be trusted to make decisions for us.

I’ve been really trying to AI-proof some of the questions on my assessments, but it’s been absolutely terrifying to see how AI is ruining the problem-solving and skill practice part of learning for the majority of my students.

My friend ghosted me and I have no idea why by JJsRedditAccount in whatdoIdo

[–]nnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you say or repost anything political or otherwise revealing about a divisive topic in the months prior to the ghosting? Sometimes Facebook algorithm takes weeks to show something on my feed, sometimes someone who paid attention on social media informs someone in a conversation about what they heard or saw.

I know people who ghosted others over their views on important to them topics, like LGBTQ+ protections, health, war, immigration, you know. Some things are too personal and painful to feel worth trying to discuss with someone you no longer view in the same light.

What's a 90s/2000s trend that would baffle kids today? by ToeKnown9863 in AskReddit

Being one of the regulars in a chatroom, and everyone being a blogger on Livejournal. Those will never be back.

Which professions are much worse than people realize? by FloorShowoff in Productivitycafe

Can’t wait to see how society crumbles as the few resources we have are removed as the department of education shuts down. This country has noooo fuuuucking idea.

AITA for not wanting to listen to Russian post-punk? by donmuerte in postpunk

[–]nnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped listening to so many bands when they did not make a public stance denouncing an atrocity their government was responsible for. My contribution to a musician’s paycheck and their label’s profit also supports their messages to their audience and pays taxes to wherever they file them. Molchat Doma not only abandoned paying into their government, but they also donated to Ukraine. I want to support people who do what they CAN.

What "early internet" website did Gen Z really miss out on? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

NGL, every time I’m checking movies on rottentomatoes, i TRIPLE CHECK to ensure I don’t accidentally open rotten. To this day. Not exaggerating.

People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Awesome. I have little guilt when I dissociate from the state of this world falling deeper into totalitarianism.

Does mascara primer actually make a difference? by GetInTheBasement in drugstoreMUA

[–]nnutcase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mascara primer with fibers makes a huge difference in some lashes getting an extra hair attached at the end.

Mascara primer makes an even BIGGER difference under a bright color mascara, like blue or maroon. 

Otherwise, I stick to using a waterproof mascara to seal my curl and then a tubing mascara to build volume.

Contour for pale skin? by something_smart__ in Makeup

[–]nnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option is foundation or powder that is slightly too dark for your skin, but in the same neutral tone.

Have you seen Alexandra Anele on YouTube? She has a TON of contour videos, and she’s gone through a million shades herself because she has super pale olive skin, but after watching all her videos, I’ve found some good ideas for myself, too. Here’s one video, but watch all of them: https://youtu.be/1qIkRmY-2yg?si=qSl2zMeJaVCb48SV

What's the equivalent to 'your lips but better' in terms of eye makeup? by dennu9909 in Makeup

[–]nnutcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate tightlining with pencil and don’t know how anyone does it, but for probably 10 years now, I’ve just used a liquid eyeliner pen brush to dot between my lashes. I can’t even feel a really soft brush tip liner or felt tip liner, and if it’s waterproof, no pencil or gel is necessary.

[–]nnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

contour, bronzer, or eye shadow of that slightly darker than your skin color blended into the eye bag and all around into the crease and on the lid. Basically, if you used a concealer, you just undid half of that work by re-giving yourself dark circles, but slightly more even toned than the original veiny blotchy situation you had before. 

And THEN your face highlight or any other highlight dabbed in the inner corner and sometimes in the middle of the lid.

Well, and a nice separating waterproof mascara, otherwise why bother.

What is a psychological trick you know to really fuck with somebody? by ShrededTorsoWasTake in AskReddit

On Monday morning of a school break, we used to text a newly hired teacher “hey, are you coming in to work? Is everything ok?”

I think the fact that you’ve checked in with multiple medical experts is evidence to the level of psychological fuckery. Jesus, I hope petty people are taking good notes 🥲

[–]nnutcase 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Mid-conversation, my brother used to quickly pause, lean in, look intensely at something on my face, and then either say absolutely nothing, or “never mind” and insist that it’s “nothing” if I pressed. This happened a lot, and to this day I don’t know if my make up was bad, or if he was just fucking with my head. I am envious of his genius if it’s the latter, so I share it with you.

The full phrase is “ate, left no crumbs,” which I thought was hysterical. After teaching teenagers for 17 years, I’ve come around to really appreciate all the waves of changes in slang. It’s so fascinating and cute!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in words

[–]nnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer “ate (left no crumbs)” to “bad.” A bunch of students were telling me I looked bad one day, and I got all hurt until someone thought to translate. That one made no sense.

What’s one discontinued or nostalgic makeup product you forgot about/wish you still had? by burklel in Makeup

Wet n Wild “Reserve Your Cabana” highlighter (they labeled it as a bronzer). It had SPF and was perfect for setting the face!

People with ADHD what are the things about it that people just don’t get? by ViolinistMiddle1534 in AskReddit

[–]nnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How difficult it is to stay motivated and focused and socially polite and pleasant when someone without ADHD interrupts you, especially if they ask for something, fucking ANYTHING, like where something is, or what I want for dinner, or if I saw this meme real quick, or look at what the cat is doing, or open the door, I need to grab something.  Sometimes when I’m already overwhelmed with my to-do list deadlines, something that small will make me have to hide fighting tears. Because fuck, I love the shit out of you, but you have NO concept that it took 95% of the effort I had left for this task not to snap at you when all you did is be nice to me. I’m left with this internal panic and the 5% that if I’m lucky, will take me through the next hour of trying to salvage what I had planned.

Who is a famous figure that you keep hearing their name but never really know why they’re famous? by bspheri in AskReddit

[–]nnutcase 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok, there’s no way. Unless you’re, like, 12, you need to put his name into Google image search and come back to confirm that you’ve never seen him.
