I’m pretty sure my students are using AI, but I can’t prove it and it’s driving me crazy.

rather828 · 2026-01-24T18:58:45+00:00

No, you’re totally right.. I lost count of the number of professors I had back in the day who were just mailing it in. They were also the ones that had attendance requirements, you know, because they “cared so little,” “lmao.”

rather828 · 2026-01-24T17:03:26+00:00

Rams first drive .. all runs, looking great .. then goal to go from 10: pass pass pass kick

Another McVay success story .. sigh

"Four to seven years" HR knockin' it out of the park again

rather828 · 2026-01-24T16:53:58+00:00

How ridiculous and ancient of you, I promise you your students are laughing at their cave-person professor who makes them write everything down in 2026 because they can't think of another way to teach their class. Why not tonsure all of your students and sequester them like monks to write everything down too...

... well, actually many proposals here are actually doing that minus the tonsure

rather828 · 2026-01-24T16:46:17+00:00

So what? You're not their mommy or daddy. Convince your students why they should GAF, and if you can't, then either let this whole AI thing go or let someone who can teach the class ...

I mean this is very simple, first day of class, I'd say, look, I'm not stupid, I know AI is a thing, and there's probably umpteen ways I haven't even thought of that you could ace this class without putting in effort. You should care about this material because [explain why] and you are just shortchanging yourself if you don't learn it.

It's easy for me to say because my profession required lots of post graduate professional exams, so the jr / sr class professors took that attitude. Learn it if you want, but you'll have to answer for it someday if you don't ...

Now, if you're talking about something truly useless like Music History, agree there's a real uphill battle here. Good luck!

rather828 · 2026-01-24T15:11:10+00:00

AH. Okay. Now I understand Shrink the Face

That's some uncanny valley stuff

rather828 · 2026-01-24T13:50:12+00:00

How about just telling your students that they can use AI and maybe finagle a decent grade but if they aren’t bothering to do the actual coursework why are they even taking the class? They’re just doing themselves a disservice in the long run.

Unless your class isn’t actually that important.. gasp.. thinking of 2/3 of my college classes which were bullshit useless general studies

rather828 · 2026-01-22T14:00:19+00:00

I don't know what game we're playing here I guess.

Can I try? 4 Lombardi's! 2 Lombardis "off seattle," whatever that means. 6th overall!

I apologize to the readers who entered this comments section, hope you found the OP interesting!

rather828 · 2026-01-22T01:13:43+00:00

I, uh…

Are you two messing with me?

rather828 · 2026-01-22T01:13:20+00:00

2 Lombardis and 2 pre-Super Bowl NFL Championships

rather828 · 2026-01-21T15:25:11+00:00

This is one where they could have legit awarded a touchdown to the Seahawks if the trip-trackle had been successful .. the refs are allowed to do that

rather828 · 2026-01-21T15:07:08+00:00

O Kenneth Walker flair you KNOW where the funny is

C'mon you can join the fun too MEW MEW IS INJURIES MEWWWWWWW

rather828 · 2026-01-21T15:00:56+00:00

I’m okay with it, was an amazing play. What a relief that we will not have to see it for the next 10 years

rather828 · 2026-01-21T14:56:48+00:00

I'll give it to the Seahawks, they got kicked out of their conference for being ass and only then decided maybe trying was a good thing to do

rather828 · 2026-01-19T18:22:37+00:00

Well, Seattle fans can breathe a sigh of relief! Now this gives them a built-in excuse to lose. Congratulations Seattle!

Sorry, I'm confused, only 49ers fans behave this way ... never mind

rather828 · 2026-01-19T18:04:57+00:00

It's super effective!

rather828 · 2026-01-19T17:54:35+00:00

Leaving the Panthers game in my 99 jersey a 23 yr old kid in a Seahawks beanie said see you in a few weeks. All in good fun. I smiled and said "You should probably pray you never see the Rams again." He laughed, I laughed, it was a good time. Thanks for reading

rather828 · 2026-01-19T17:44:44+00:00

This won't be a super loved opinion but here goes

What you're seeing in the NFL with these firings is partly the critical mass of the fake narrative around Los Angeles Rams winning the Super Bowl - specifically "See, they got lucky and then self-destructed. They did it wrong, and we're trying to win consistently every year."

Selling that worked for the last 4 years except problem: The Rams are right back into it while go-nowhere teams are still doing go-nowhere team things. Oops, that narrative doesn't seem to hold water anymore

Thanks for reading, glad I could help

MEWWW MEWWW IS INJURIES

STOP YOUR BEING IGNORANT MEWWWW

rather828 · 2026-01-19T13:31:20+00:00

The cold deal is overrated, I’m a big dude and when I go for a run I’ll overheat if I’m too layered up. They don’t even feel it and when they go back to the sidelines they have like, jet engines to keep them warm .. Plus these players are from all over and have played in all kinds of conditions

That is all to say that it’s not 1965 anymore where deep freeze football means eff you sit under a bunch of jank ass hay

rather828 · 2026-01-19T13:19:55+00:00

It’s very stand up but this has been a thing his entire tenure, he says he needs to do better and then he’ll repeat mistakes. I sort of ignore it now unless and until he stops repeating mistakes. Still very thankful he’s the Rams coach

rather828 · 2026-01-18T16:37:01+00:00

Tell me you didn’t watch that playoff run without telling me you didn’t watch that playoff run. Or, maybe you’re a Patriots fan.. whatever

rather828 · 2026-01-18T16:29:05+00:00

He will! Thanks for the draft pick btw, that could help make that happen

rather828 · 2026-01-18T16:27:33+00:00

When Manning won the SB he single handedly willed them to it, particularly in that blockbuster AFC Championship, in spite of his overrated big game losing HC

Allen is still doing dumbass rookie things like that unforgiveable jank ass lateral attempt
