#and I always follow the guidelines

This is the third tiktok video of mine that has unfairly gone under review and can no longer be accessed. I’ve tried reaching out to the team innumerable times with no replies at all. So much for being a content creator friendly website.

the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.

As much as I like asshole big shot Spamton headcanons, I love the idea he was kinda normal and down to earth or more anxious/pathetic even more.

Like a lot of people make him an asshole to explain why no one helped him or why he avoided getting help cause it meant admitting to his shitty behavior. But from how everyone speaks about him before he went missing he was a decent guy, unlucky but they refer to him as prestigious and speak with regret over his downfall. He was probably a normal but shady guy (due to the phone) who was more an oddity than nuisance to those around him. A lot of him being a jerk as a big shot headcanons sorta stem from the idea he did something to deserve it or his hubris being his down fall and other than him clearly not having money to fall back on I just don’t see it that way.

A crux of Spamton’s character is that he is ultimately helpless and not in control of what happens/happened to him despite the knowledge he had been bestowed. That everyone is a puppet and he was punished for trying to be something more, something that he wasn’t. It’s a lot more bittersweet and tragic if he genuinely didn’t do anything crazy or sleazy until after his fall cause it just reinforces the idea that no matter what he did or who he made connections with or who helped him, he was never in control and someone else pulled the strings.

Spamton playing by all the phone’s rules, everyone else’s rules and still getting the short end is so befitting of his story and fits to why as a literal puppet he seems to out right refuse to adhere to any semblance of the norm or rules of convention.

has anyone else gotten this problem where like. ive had my binder (spectrum) since spring last year and i never had any problems with it for months. i didnt have to size up because my dimensions were exactly one size in particular . i wear it every day but never more than 8-9 hours like is recommended (i put it on at the very last minute before leaving my house and take it off the moment i get home i cant do much better than that), i have a day a week where i dont wear it bc sports, and on weekends i often dont wear it at all apart from like a dinner outside . like just in general i only wear it to go out and not at home . so i'd say im pretty much following all the safety stuff ? but for the past month or so ive been getting rib pain . so i thought i just needed a break which was a good coincidence bc i had like 2-3 weeks at home where i wore it essentially like maybe once . and now im back in school except . it still hurts when i wear it for a while ? im so confused like i thought giving it a rest was what i needed and i thought 3 weeks would be ample time? and it's not like my ribs have . Expanded? i dont think ive gained any weight either so like . why would i need to move up a size. and its kind of a problem because a) getting a binder at all was a hassle without my parents knowing so getting a 2nd one owuld be . Complicated b) i really really hope i havent fucked up my ribs somehow bc idk how i'd explain that to my parents??

i rewatched perks of being a wallflower for the first time since i was 12 and MAN

this movie (because i’ve unfortunately never read the book so i can’t speak on it😔) will always be so special to me because it’s one of the coming of age movies that truly do encapsulate how being a teenager feels

admittedly, watching the movie i had pause every 10 seconds because i KEPT GETTING SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT but that’s why i love it SOO much because everything is embarrassing when you’re a teenager!!!

& i remember seeing a tumblr post that talked about when teenage characters actually act like they have the disease of being a teenager and i think that perfectly describes perks of being a wallflower (w/ all the affection in the world!)

tldr: i ❤️ accurate depictions of teenage hood in media

i honestly think there’s nothing wrong with a little gatekeeping, especially in niche subcultures. without it, it’s easy to get grifters and posers who’ll impact it negatively or don’t really care about the comm at all. Or the culture changes completely and becomes a free-for-all and just dissolves/gets absorbed into other fashions.

OKAY I FINALLY DID IT anyways Inspired by (and with permission of) @acourtcfmuses's own list, I made a Ship's List, basically meaning it shows the current ships, canon ships, and potential ships. I did all three blogs under one link because I'm a brat.

I have some 'Established Crossover' Ships there too that I do not have sb else I'm writing them w, bc i'm using my own version of thoses muses. Meaning I am open to writing those ships w others if they want, but if mentioned in a thread it's my own versions, NOT other peoples. AKA nobody try and claim i'm forcing ships I'm literally writing w myself to avoid that claim lol. Just like I'm making sure I tag repeatedly that threads w myself are me w me, bc I still remember like, 2018sh when someone tried to claim i was 'tricking people into thinking i was popular by writing with myself' however tf that works, idk, but anyways! nobody be dramatic and here's my list of things!

Weeee

also bless Alana tbh i didn't know what a filter was on docs until now, now i just gotta learn how to do custom colors on it.

Would you still call a character you make from a game where you play a customized MC a self insert? 🤔

Hsdgdfds wait New Management AU, Roxy doing stuff specifically to piss of those in power to prove this is all some big joke. Making the Raceway health and safety even better than the required standard didn’t work. The movie night with films from their competitors didn’t work. The firing of all the staff that looked down on her and made her life more difficult and hiring new, animatronic friendly staff, including rehiring old staff members that had previously been fired for that very thing didn’t work. So as a last ditch effort to prove this is bullshit and she wasn’t actually given power...

She gave herself time off.

Roxy has made it a rule that she doesn’t have to entertain on the two days of the week with the lowest footfall if she doesn’t want to. She spends the entire day just fucking around, or hiding away in her garage or whatever and people just. Let her do that. No one stopped her, no one questioned her, no one even acted surprised.

Just lying there on the floor after eveyone has gone home and her new manager/handler that’s there to make sure what she’s doing is legal and to help make what she wants possible gives her the rundown of the day like nothing was different. They even ask her if she enjoyed her time off and if she’s having the next day off too since that’s a typically non-busy day and she’s just. It’s all sinking in now. She has power. Holy shit she can actually do whatever she wants.

What the fuck man she thought they were joking...

An important message to college students: Why you shouldn't use ChatGPT or other "AI" to write papers.

Here's the thing: Unlike plagiarism, where I can always find the exact source a student used, it's difficult to impossible to prove that a student used ChatGPT to write their paper. Which means I have to grade it as though the student wrote it.

So if your professor can't prove it, why shouldn't you use it?

Well, first off, it doesn't write good papers. Grading them as if the student did write it themself, so far I've given GPT-enhanced papers two Ds and an F.

If you're unlucky enough to get a professor like me, they've designed their assignments to be hard to plagiarize, which means they'll also be hard to get "AI" to write well. To get a good paper out of ChatGPT for my class, you'd have to write a prompt that's so long, with so many specifics, that you might as well just write the paper yourself.

ChatGPT absolutely loves to make broad, vague statements about, for example, what topics a book covers. Sadly for my students, I ask for specific examples from the book, and it's not so good at that. Nor is it good at explaining exactly why that example is connected to a concept from class. To get a good paper out of it, you'd have to have already identified the concepts you want to discuss and the relevant examples, and quite honestly if you can do that it'll be easier to write your own paper than to coax ChatGPT to write a decent paper.

The second reason you shouldn't do it?

IT WILL PUT YOUR PROFESSOR IN A REALLY FUCKING BAD MOOD. WHEN I'M IN A BAD MOOD I AM NOT GOING TO BE GENEROUS WITH MY GRADING.

I can't prove it's written by ChatGPT, but I can tell. It does not write like a college freshman. It writes like a professional copywriter churning out articles for a content farm. And much like a large language model, the more papers written by it I see, the better I get at identifying it, because it turns out there are certain phrases it really, really likes using.

Once I think you're using ChatGPT I will be extremely annoyed while I grade your paper. I will grade it as if you wrote it, but I will not grade it generously. I will not give you the benefit of the doubt if I'm not sure whether you understood a concept or not. I will not squint and try to understand how you thought two things are connected that I do not think are connected.

Moreover, I will continue to not feel generous when calculating your final grade for the class. Usually, if someone has been coming to class regularly all semester, turned things in on time, etc, then I might be willing to give them a tiny bit of help - round a 79.3% up to a B-, say. If you get a 79.3%, you will get your C+ and you'd better be thankful for it, because if you try to complain or claim you weren't using AI, I'll be letting the college's academic disciplinary committee decide what grade you should get.

Eventually my school will probably write actual guidelines for me to follow when I suspect use of AI, but for now, it's the wild west and it is in your best interest to avoid a showdown with me.
