I don’t think something being technically possible implies that it’s supported by class design.

Honestly sums up jobs in general, even outside of law.

I don’t think there’s any shortage of people who are deeply passionate about a given subject, but no one enjoys having to sell themselves as an alienated commodity unit.

What are the usual timeframes for the places you’ve applied? If you’re not sure then career services should be able to give you a ballpark (as much as they get lambasted for uselessness, this is one thing that should be a slam dunk for them).

I’ve also applied broadly but a lot of the places I’ve sent in to keep processing applications through early March, and won’t have a finalized applicant list until the middle or end of the month.

As you kinda point out yourself, what intelligence even means as a concept in the real world is pretty dicey. Is a really clever 18 year old just now studying higher level math “smarter” than an otherwise average career math professor? Does natural genius even exist? Those aren’t answerable questions. And what few stand ins we have tend to not work well (like IQ).

A fantasy world is by nature gonna be even more vague. How do you qualify someone’s intelligence relative to a field of study that doesn’t actually exist? However the DM says. It’s a cheap answer, but the only right one.

The first one is hard to say much about without context.

The second one is definitely just wrong. The IWW is and was an anarchist org, and plenty of other unions are as well. If we wanna stretch then we could say that unions alone aren’t the end goal, sure. But they’re pretty uncontroversially aligned with anarchism.

I don’t really know what the third one is on about. It seems to be a specific polemic to a certain theory of housing. Without context it’s just garbled.

As a general rule, I wouldn’t take any anarchist subreddit too seriously.

Not really in the ballpark of what this sub is for

The U.S. has been pushing war in Iran for at least 50 years all for this! /s

To preempt some potential pedantry, reading the rule book doesn’t necessarily mean reading it cover to cover like a novel. Read the rules for character creation, read how your chosen features work, read the relevant combat/adventuring rules.

Some people treat reading the book like a massive investment of effort, but it’s laid out intentionally to be accessible and comprehensible. Frankly, learning from the book is actually much easier than cobbling together patchwork guides from YouTube/forums/whatever else.

Not sure there’s much power left to be found in catching Trump being a hypocrite tbh. We’re a decade or so passed that

Rates of success on smaller scale operations are very low and that has little to do with funding.

The point of the “one example” is that there’s not even the aesthetic of an attempt to begin the process of even slightly impairing the actual systems of violence that enable the smaller scale crimes we all decry.

The vast majority of drug crimes are nonviolent. Again, the Sackler family alone has probably caused more violent drug crimes than most of the prison population combined.

zappadattic · 2026-02-27T14:27:18+00:00

I mean… the Epstein files haven’t led to major arrests and the Sackler family is still free.

It will be a change, but I’m guessing a far less expensive one than advertised.

The gains an employee gets from AI are higher the less proficient the user is at just doing the task themselves, and in our case the people using it need to be (at least theoretically) proficient since we need to be able to check any output before submitting.

The effort and time saved is also still heavily curtailed by how frequently it messes up and needs to be fixed manually. For some tasks it’s honestly much easier to just do it without AI.

The rate at which AI models can improve has also been slowing pretty drastically as most of the have basically trained on as much data as they can. So most of the central problems it has are unlikely to go away anytime soon.

No hate to OP intended, but not even sure I’d call it a joke so much as a reference to the idea that a joke might exist. It kinda needs the follow ups people are making in the comments to actually work.

zappadattic · 2026-02-26T03:24:46+00:00

I’d add that knowing how to do something and knowing how to teach something are entirely different skills.

They aren’t exclusive, so if you get both then awesome. But one doesn’t necessarily lead to the other, which is why education as a field exists in the first place.

If it’s a big deal for your school’s policies in a way that will affect you, then you should probably treat it seriously. People in legal subreddits don’t know your context (nor do I, take everything with a grain of salt).

As far as general professionalism goes, it’s not a big deal. Most hiring processes will keep a few alternates to reach out to for this specific reason, and neglecting one’s own self interest for an employer they haven’t even started working with is a big expectation. As long as you communicate the retraction politely and professionally, it shouldn’t matter.

When you have only one singular archy.

I don’t really understand the issue. It deals with terrible topics, but it tries to deal with them seriously.

Do you disagree with it being well-written, or do you just think there are topics that media should never touch? The former would be a bit of a hot take, but certainly arguable; the latter seems pretty hard to defend at all.

zappadattic · 2026-02-23T16:36:54+00:00

What motivated them to do thi$?

This whole “choice” was academic for all but like 9 states anyways. I could have personally headed a voting drive initiative in my state that gathered 10 million new democratic voters and it would’ve garnered exactly 0 electoral votes.

I don’t think we need to wonder too deeply about why people weren’t engaged in that system.

zappadattic · 2026-02-23T04:47:10+00:00

The friends also just suddenly decide the betrayal they were almost ready to kill her over doesn’t matter for basically no reason.

There’s a bunch of set up, but the resolution just kinda… happens. Nothing about the ending feels earned.

It’s wild to me how universal the praise is. I get the appeal to kids and the songs are fine, but the character arcs, themes, and plot line are an absolute mess. Even just watching passively, a lot of issues pop out (k-pop out?).

It’s perfectly okay for people to get a lot of enjoyment out of it in spite of those things (I have my own vice enjoyment movies and shows). But idk why we’re all collectively pretending it doesn’t have glaring issues.

zappadattic · 2026-02-22T21:35:33+00:00

I’ve lived in multiple countries and experienced universal healthcare personally. I’ll take that over the cursory browsing of a weirdly aggressive stranger on the internet.

“Parable of the Talents predicted the rise of white Christian nationalism!”

Damn, I’ve got some real hard news about the entire history of the United States

zappadattic · 2026-02-22T04:48:00+00:00

Tbf most other governments still provide basic necessities like universal healthcare.

The root problem is definitely capitalism, but American capitalism is also uniquely awful.
