A #mastomonday quick tip: If you're new, you may see terms and abbreviations thrown around that don't immediately make sense. Here's a handy guide:
lb: last boost
mh: mental health
ph: physical health
ec: eye contact
spoons: a way of expressing mental energy/willpower
fractela: rare (in my experience, anyways), but basically means "no context"
pol: politics (might have region, e.g. uspol, ukpol, itpol)
Hopefully, this helps you understand things a bit better than I did when I first joined

using NoScript has really opened my eyes to how fucking garbage the modern web is.
something that should just be a static site with information about a UI framework? page is entirely blank unless i allow the domain in noscript.

2020 – The year of "4GB of RAM aren't enough to run a fucking browser anymore" on the desktop.
Like, I don't mind on a site like youtube or vimeo because, well, I'm there to watch videos. If a video I've chosen starts autoplaying, that's all well and good. But when some fucking cooking site tries to autoplay some completely unrelated video to the recipe I'm trying to read, it's a travesty and deserves the deepest of condemnation. Extra condemnation if they autoplay video *with audio*.
Autoplay video on sites that aren't explicitly video sites (e.g. Youtube) is a plague on the internet and ought be eliminated.
@diodelass Not to mention how unreadable the colour bands are on some types of resistors even without colour vision issues. Metal film resistors? Good luck trying to figure out what colour those bands actually are!
I just finished drawing this picture of a kitsune girl and just. Like. Oh god oh geez oh wow I'm gay.

@Excuse_haver We can argue about whether Bernie or Pete won or whether there's a conspiracy or whatnot all day, but I think we can all agree Bloomberg wasn't even close

education hot take, subtooting high school teachers
we don't actually know if high school academic integrity records are usually available to or inspected by employers and colleges, but that was the story they told us in high school. this was basically the only place in high school where fucking up an assignment came with threats of being eternally damned by all society, instead of just failed.

and like okay, if you included even one sentence that was written by some unrelated author in a published academic paper without quoting and citing, you'd be in pretty hot water, we get that. but uhhhhh last time we checked, most people's high school assignments don't have the kind of stakes riding on them that makes that true of academic journals

education hot take, subtooting high school teachers
most of our teachers in high school told us something like "incorrectly-formatted citations are plagiarism" and gave us this whole fire-and-brimstone sermon about how we would be branded for life as liars and foul imps if we fucked it up even a little
and that's really just not an okay thing to do
it's an actual factual abuse of authority

we're angry about this because of how many high school english teachers, including our own father, we have heard using "don't plagiarize!" as a conveniently potent threat to make bored students listen to drivel about MLA formatting
it's really disingenuous to do and we're sick of it

plagiarism is when you knowingly lie and explicitly claim that someone else's work is yours. failing to properly identify a quote _in an assignment that specifically required quotes_ is really just fucking not that

big one: speech classes
no. giving a speech containing quotes and failing to identify their sources, especially if the sources are listed in the written materials provided to the teacher, is not plagiarism. it's careless, and it's fair for it to result in a poor grade, but it's not something you put on a student's permanent fucking record. jesus christ

trying and failing to cite sources correctly, or not individually citing quotes that are still presented as quotes, is extremely not the same thing as plagiarism
quit threatening kids with extremely serious accusations just because they didn't understand MLA format on the first try
