@JFitzCBB @VapingSufi The first book of Mormon features the good guys gettong a vision instructing them to decapitate of a guy passed out in the street and robbing him for the greater good. It's not like the suspicions came out of nowhere.

@JFitzCBB @VapingSufi The fact that most Mormons don't agree with this (probably never have) but continue to prop up the mechanisms of this oppression doesn't cancel that out. It just shows that Mormonism fundementally demands an extraordinary level of control over a congregation :(

@JFitzCBB @VapingSufi It is very fair to criticise the US government for tactical errors (e.g. the Short Creek raids) but it's a two-way street, as proven by Mormons oppressing non-Mormons by legally forcing non-Mormons to comply with religious beliefs where they have regional power to this day.

@colinarmis Also, you've never heard of an essay exam? Not all essays are dependent on a bibliography. Branch out. Personal, introspective and reflective essays are meaningful. You've been missing out on some of the greats. x.com/colinarmis/sta…
Colin@colinarmis

on the same note, too many commentary channels are getting real fast and loose with adopting the title "video essay" then they will have like, no citations for anything or get details wrong and then you bring it up and theyre like "im just saying my opinion" like....

@colinarmis I don't endorse "good to fall asleep to" comments, I agree it can come off backhanded. That doesn't mean falling asleep to video essays is some kind of intellectual failing on behalf of viewers. Your critisism is steeped in ableism and elitism, intentionally or not.

saying a video essayist is "good to listen to while i do other things" or "good to fall asleep to" is such a backhanded compliment

@JFitzCBB @VapingSufi They also did mass murder non-Mormon colonisers though. They killed 120+ settlers passing through Mountain Meadows and stole all their valuables, for example

@MarshSMT This wouldn't be a problem if we'd invested in biodegradable plastic straw research before that one video with the fucked up turtle went viral

@CerebralCSarean @reachartwork It's not just how students see it. It's how academia is set up on a global scale. Most of undergrad is set up to gatekeep jobs and "real" learning. If it wasn't, every science degree would include a semester on scientific ethics and statistical rigour.

@reachartwork I think the problem many have with college is that they see it as an obstacle instead of a learning opportunity. They think “I want to do X job, they won’t let me start unless I have this degree, so I’ll just get these courses over with.” No desire to actually internalize info.

addendum: i was a very bad student - i did not study, i did not take notes, and was generally what you'd call a "gifted kid burnout" who coasted through middle school and high school and then crashed at college. however! i am now going back to school as an adult

definitely dont think students offloading all their thinking processes to chatgpt is a Good Thing but I also think this is sort of an inevitable outcome of the world where getting a college degree (and thus, passing high school/college) is an entry ticket to the next strata

@imbrokeok What is the source of the screenshot? "... The standard dictionaries are coy about this derivation" is always worth looking into a bit more.

@NoctreSharp @reachartwork Complaining about low-effort pandering trash is basically as old as writing about about grain but naaaaah it was actually invented in California 5-10 years ago

I joined the army at 17, as a snotty nosed kid from a Scottish mining town. After a 36 year career, serving in 6 operational theatres and 9 promotions, I retired on a £53,000 salary. How can the government justify £70,000 for driving a train? telegraph.co.uk/money/jobs/wor…
