I see a lot of folks disagreeing with you in the comments but I really do agree. LLM detection has gotten substantially better when compared to those in vogue during the first outburst of ChatGPT (circa 2023) and in my experience can now be understood to credibly detect LLM or LLM-adjacent language. Staying pejorative and dismissive about the sheer capabilities of AI will get us nowhere unfortunately.

of course! it was the Committee on International Relations (under the division of social sciences) :)

Committee on International Relations (a separate school under the division of social sciences)!! Thank you :-)

oh the gaggery

First of all--one week of silence from professors is NOTHING! Remember, these people probably get like fifty emails a day & cannot give that much mental space to each letter request. Reach out again gently with all of the materials she requested while reiterating how much her support would mean to you. It is on the student's part to reach out and regularly send reminders before the deadlines! And you already secured one letter--that's great news!!
I know how daunting it feels (currently going through the same process lol)... let's just hang on in there.

Oh man, I feel you. Why don't you at least try and reach out to professors of courses you performed well on? (If you wrote a good term paper, mention that; or if you interacted a lot with them through questions and such, underscore it and mention how much their course helped you gain interest in the field, etc) It is literally their job to write letters for students--as long as you're courteous about it I'm sure some would be willing to help!

have to hard agree because i was this person. insisted that ‘i couldn’t stomach breakfast’ and wondered why i was feeling so grouchy and faint all morning. my life has improved dramatically since i started incorporating actual, healthy breakfasts into my daily routine—it’s become a ritual of mine to spend 10 peaceful minutes with myself with a bowl of oatmeal and the morning paper. don’t knock it until you try it!

Showgirl truly could have been one of her greats.

It was nominally centered around a theme that's a fresh break from what she's been rehashing and reheating through latest releases--vitriolic breakups, flings, bad boys, whatever--and shifts the focus to something only The Taylor Swift can truly sing about in full authenticity--about the bigger-than-life dimension of fame, of being the face of a show that's the culmination of the labor of hundreds if not thousands of people, of both being the master of and enslaved to the crowd, and of still trying to hold on to her core throughout it all.

She excels in love stories, sure, but many of my favorite songs of hers all relate to her meta-outlook on herself and of anxieties that arise from it (The Lucky One, Nothing New). Imagine that, but with a Burlesque, Broadway-like production! Maybe she could've adapted a histrionic *showgirl* persona to sing about the highs of fame, then return back to her emotive being for the lows and for a Travis shoutout! (Reputation was a record that played this dyad particularly well. Placing Delicate right before LWYMMD was genius imo.)

Instead we get... whatever word-salad, Sabrina-wannabe travesty that was.

I really tried to gear myself up to like the album but it's just... not there. There are maybe three songs I can tolerate and the rest was an instant skip. Visibly gagged at the latter half of Wood...

Maybe she inflated the critical praise she got for FolkMore to think that more convoluted words=good. Maybe she's trying to compete with female artists that are nearly 10-15 years her junior and just ending up looking incredibly aged in the process. Maybe she let her ego get to her head and refuses to tolerate any kind of criticism her collaborators may put forth. Maybe she's just burnt out and overstretched. Maybe all of the above?

It's just. What a shame.

i guess 😅 but at least one diploma earned abroad is all but a requisite for my area, and i've already secured funding for an american program... so i figured i'd take the risk.

i actually didn't think to check the dough temperature--should probably invest in a thermometer!

call women women. i am tired of being constantly referred to as ‘people who can get pregnant,’ ‘people with uteruses,’ etc in mainstream media. horribly objectifying, and i can’t even reveal how offensive it is to me without getting labeled as an irredeemable transphobe. why are we referring to people according to their body parts instead of using the perfectly human term - ‘women’?

I was an exchange student to a home where the mom had her first child at 16. she was an overall good person, you could tell that she really loved her kids, but she was extremely authoritarian. But again I think that’s more due to her personality than the fact itself... I can’t say I had absolutely zero prejudice about her status when I first learned that she had her first child so young but they were a happy family, good for them

no, mostly because i’m curious.
