  • Something may have gotten lost in the mix. You are taking a very defensive stance, when I asked a neutral question.

    I looked through your responses, and at no point did you clarify what you actually meant by the phrase “hits the receptor sideways”.

    I’m pretty sure you are referring to the fact that it is a partial agonist, and all I requested was that you clarify if that was the case.

    I apologize if that somehow put you on your heels.

    That said, there is no need for name calling or projecting ill intent. Thank you very much








  • I’m an educator, and we have revision history in Google doc that allows us to see the document as it was written.

    If large blocks of text suddenly appear, it indicates plagiarism.

    Knowing your students and their lexicon, it’s unnecessary for most of us to use it though.

    Most of the students that try to sneak AI struggle with writing to begin with, which makes it remarkably obvious when they try to pass off something that is not theirs.



  • Hot take, but I feel like this is one of those bands whose live performance transcends anything they put to video.

    I saw Billy Strings live, and it was almost a religious experience. The energy in that room was impossible to capture on film.

    I imagine seeing Idles is a similar situation.



  • Having moved from an urban to a rural area, I can anecdotally say there is more to it than just education (though that certainly may be a factor).

    Universities scare the conservative faction because they think they are hotbeds of indoctrination, but in reality, the openness people and new ideas occurs largely through socialization, not from any curriculum.

    Rural areas rarely encounter that degree of interaction with that variety of backgrounds and beliefs. It is embarrassing to be ignorant of the outside world when you are socialized with so many people that seem to know more than you.

    Once your mind is open to the wider world, a lot of the smaller beliefs have to be shed. I believe that is one of the reasons that one of the strongest variables associated with political persuasion is a university education.

    It’s socialization, not indoctrination, and not just a matter of education.
