Interesting question from a thing cesca was at about solving the digital literacy problem in schoolkids:
To what extent is the unwillingness of kids to do more research than "the first result on google" about kids wanting instant gratification, and to what extent is it about teachers who grew up using a google that was considerably more useful than it is now imposing the expectation that they use a tool that is no longer fit for purpose?
i think this is more of a "the vast majority of people" thing
There are like $300 electric toothbrushes. The one she got was like $90.
And she asked me if I wanted to go in on a double pack, they’d have been $80 per piece then.
But there’s nothing wrong with the one I have so it’d be a waste.
why would you get 2? can't you just switch the heads?
A bit inconvenient, and not 100% hygienic.
Fun fact we did do this for a week because she threw her old one while waiting for this new one. Then she suddenly got norovirus/calici again and you start to think maybe that's one reason you shouldn't share hygienic products.
I didn’t unpack for like three years after the last time I moved solo.
bruh I still got boxes and I’ve been here since 2020
I got a pressure cooker and a new blender from two and three years ago respectively that are still in the box
They're gonna hold a great second-hand value by not being used, using items deprecates their value.

I would note that re: laziness of school kids using the first google result
typically in school before the internet, I would do research by going to the library, doing a book search, and finding the glossiest, shortest, most digestible source and basically copying it. If it didn't have a detail, it wasn't going in the paper. These were generally topic overviews for children younger than I was, but it was great because they offered the subject predigested, and in a way that I could instantly grasp and didn't require a knowledge base of any kind.
got fantastic grades, thought that was what research is until way way later. never received any negative feedback.

listing 5 books in the bibliography because that was required but 4 of them were just the books I discarded without reading before finding the glossy overview
because I didn't copy anything word for word and wrote whole grammatical sentences I don't think the teachers even thought I was doing anything wrong. They certainly never said anything.

My favorite thing to do was write an essay and then add in references that agree with it later.

Writing the report off the top of your head, blasting it all in one go and making up the facts, then finding the sources after. And when the sources disagreed with what you wrote, having to decide between removing the section and missing the word count or weakening your thesis.
Changing the thesis???????
please it's already 4am and this is due in a few hours.

on one hand I don't share a toothbrush with my husband because it just seems gross, but on the other hand our tongues are regularly in each other's mouths so I'm not 100% on what we are accomplishing.

Every person has a Radiohead era. it's not always the same age, or the same album, but it's inevitable. If you haven't had your Radiohead era yet... you will.

When you feel sick, you abstain from kissing, but probably (hopefully?) still brush your teeth.

On the one hand, there is value to doing the kind of book report you described. And it would be low-key ridiculous to expect eg a seventh grader to actually critically synthesize dissonant information from a range of sources into their own original contribution.
But we certainly don’t do a great job of communicating that or the reasons for the form. Imo a lot of what even professional scholars say about original research and plagiarism is confused and confusing.

Weef just got an order for 100 airplane shaped sugar cookies for a venue at the airport on Monday so I guess that's our weekend plans.
Should be like $200 profit tho on that order, which is welcome.

Pretend I quoted your post on sharing toothbrushes.
It's not even sharing toothbrushes. You're switching out the heads! If you can somehow get the base of an electric toothbrush in your mouth I guess congrats on the gigantic mouth and lack of gag reflex?

I found that grating enough in high school that, since we were allowed to source web sources, I posted original ideas under a pseudonym so I could cite them.

Man it's been a weird thing this year at work, watching as the company pours out a bunch of money chasing the AI dragon.
And like, in the company slack channels (the generic python one especially) seeing this influx of posts from engineers who are asking absolutely bonkers questions that
1. Are ignorant of our internal build/repo/versioning management tools and systems, which ok it's a lot for new people but they also
2. Seem to be completely ignorant of any standard production development practices, they don't know the language, they just randomly pip install whatever without using environments (in our systems you shouldn't be pip installing anything), no concept of how to interact with their code aside from manually running scripts... feels like interns that are about to get bounced after their second week
And you look at them and they always have some ai/ml faff in their title.
is this really the future of programming?
I thought i was a fake dev boi but damn

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

It’s totally gross to share a toothbrush! I can’t exactly describe why, but I think it’s because we think of the toothbrush as dirty, and regardless of whose dirt it is that is simply gross
However I don’t think it’s particularly gross to share deodorant—or rather I recognize it seems like a gross move but I do it a lot and it doesn’t bother me

I think I was having a moment of epiphany at realising that there is a generation of people for whom google has always been crap
Either you’re different or they are.
