@Cratscadle yeah in these cases the registry exists primarily to prevent enthusiastic family members (esp grandparents) from duplicating expensive gifts or getting them the wrong model of 3000 dollar stroller

Hearing that all would be well in the humanities if we just pursued the Truth

@deltaVee42 @yuanyi_z I'm getting paid pretty well for someone who's not skilled in anything economically valuable lmao

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

Universities increasingly treating students like customers is indeed part of the problem. But even as customers, their tuition doesn't cover each student having multiple people w/ PhDs in their full-time employ as private tutors who provide personalised services on demand

There are millions of people who are smarter than you about all manner of subjects who have done us the favor of attempting to codify their knowledge in writing. It is profoundly arrogant to assume you have nothing to learn from them.

@crownofgloryy learning requires discomfort + perseverance. it isn't always exciting, and it doesn't need to be exciting. teachers aren't entertainers. adapting education to be "more exciting" bc you demand to be constantly entertained would be very bad for everyone involved actually

@crystalwizard There is no way to "use AI correctly" in my discipline (except transcription, maybe?). I have seen 0 actual use cases for AI in the humanities and social sciences. Profs aren't just being stubborn, you just fundamentally don't understand most of our jobs

[leo of arakko says 🔺RESIST🔺 @arakkosuperstar]

yall have an abject disdain for any form of mentorship or authority and it is stunting your ability to learn from people

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@Slyfox696 @nnatusucks a professor is not a personal private tutor who you have hired to provide a bespoke service at your convenience. does that help clear things up?

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@JDWenzel Teaching you is one small fraction of his job. Go ahead and try hiring your professor as your own personal private tutor if that's the service you want, see how far your money gets you lmao

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@JDWenzel Your tuition is only one among many income streams that keeps a university running. Regardless, your prof is not your personal private tutor; you aren't paying nearly enough to demand people with PhDs provide you customised 1-on-1 learning experiences at your convenience

I have noticed that higher education has improved since we started sharing slides with flow charts on them. These flow charts contain words, colored boxes, and arrows that suggest relationships. They are pleasing, inspiring, and redolent with best practices.

@webafrica @Afrihost GUESS WHO CHASED @webafrica OFF TWITTER LMAO

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

choosing an ISP? take note: it's literally impossible to contact @webafrica for support. there's no phone number to call, no email address, and the whatsapp bot doesn't work. they've cut our wifi for no reason and now we can't even cancel and get a new ISP. deeply evil company

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@webafrica @webafrica has once again cut off our Internet service for no reason, while claiming that we are in arrears despite us sending our proof of payment multiple times. evil, useless ISP. can't wait to finalise our move to @Afrihost

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@webafrica turns out @webafrica has been sending OTPs to a defunct landline

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@webafrica @webafrica will continue to call you on your cellphone after you've been telling them for about 7 hours straight that you need help gaining access to your account specifically because your cellphone is unreachable.

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@webafrica if you sign up with @webafrica, your only recourse for resolving issues will be "acting like a bitch about it on twitter".

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@webafrica @webafrica will promise to call you on your cellphone after you've been telling them for about 5 hours straight that you need help gaining access to your account specifically because your cellphone is unreachable.

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@webafrica @webafrica "support" will continuously tell you to contact their live chat or whatsapp line, regardless of how many times you provide proof that both of these chatbots are irreparably broken and stuck in a loop. webafrica will deprive you of your right to cancel a contract

[worm girl @secondzenobia]

@webafrica You've already restored service, as discussed in the DMs. We're now trying to solve our account access issues, while you continue to lie about your whatsapp bot being functional. how do consumers exercise the right to cancel contracts with @webafrica if they are unreachable?
