Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm teaching an online calculus class now, where the students have to take their exams in-person. It's painfully obvious that nearly the entire class is using some sort of AI for their homework assignments, and then completely failing the exams because they haven't learned anything because they didn't do the homework. And none of them seem to figure this out.

Also, ugh. There's a guy on Facebook (I'm friends with him there, but I don't really know him too well -- he's a friend of one of my high school friends) who keeps posting these "I am horrible misogynistic trash and the worse ally ever" comments to any of my posts about the US men's hockey team, and I don't know him well enough to tell if he's being sarcastic or not, but either way, it's incredibly annoying. And it seems like he's looking for attention specifically on posts that are about how women shouldn't have to clean up men's messes, which is definitely a choice. (If anyone feels like responding to him, feel free to, but don't feel like you have to or anything -- I'm not.)

Argh. So depressing.
