THIS. "Boycotting" an election doesn't send the message that you're unhappy, because it doesn't lose them money like it would for a business. You're not the nation's customer. Refusing to vote sends the message that you're fine with whatever result you get, that other people can decide for you.

Even if for some reason you don’t think generative AI is copyright theft, or don’t care about the industries it disrupts and jobs it destroys, or aren’t bothered by the very low quality of what it actually produces, its environmental impact alone should be enough to quit using it.

For whoever needs to hear it today: taking precautions to avoid catching covid does NOT make you an "anxious" person!! It's not unreasonable to want to keep yourself/others healthy! Anyone who says you're a burden or should "compromise" by putting yourself at risk should go kick rocks for eternity.

I "love" spending a LOT of time not communicating with other people with my vocal cords (or like, at all), so that when I finally do get into a communication situation, I have no idea how to human anymore, and will just default to being a horror So: I'm sorry if you had to experience that

Hey, remember MOOCs? Remember "the year of the MOOC?" Remember how UVA's board tried to fire the president because she wasn't sufficiently hyped about MOOCs? Remember how Sebastian Thrun (Udacity) said there would eventually be only 10 higher-ed outlets bc of MOOCs? Just thought I'd ask.
