In my meta-analysis of this paper I will propose that the writer being honest and vulgar to the reader in a professional setting is actually a treatise to demonstrate the effect of the language of “doublespeak” within 1984. in this paper I will…

Jesus fuck, you censor the word "motherfucker" but leave the author's name intact?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 43 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well she's the one that publicly posted it and her tag is her name.

Zoomers just don't care about doxxing themselves.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

does people associating their name on their twitter account count as doxxing?

in that case i have some huge news on who owns the @elonmusk account

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well? Don't leave us hanging, who owns it?

Holy shit, they should ban it

They want to be able to cash in on algorithmic fame. That’s also why they sensor swears. Because the advertisers don’t like them and then the algorithm drops posts with naughty words.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

The water mark makes me believe whatever BoredPanda is got some rights to share the tweet and they censored mother fucker, but maybe the tweeter didn't care to have their name censored.

Because I've seen this sort of thing happen several times in various contexts, I've long said that you should never write something you don't want to send. Not even as a joke that you plan to immediately delete. It's amazing how your brain will unexpectedly hit "send" instead of "delete."

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 43 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

My takeaway is different. It's bad that teachers force repression of honest, raw expression by punishing stuff like this.

That was funny. That was a well written intro in any context where bumsticks are optional.

These teachers and their consensus in style is like the old suburban "keeping up appearances" types of academia.

"No, my students aren't struggling mentally, they're just doing their work diligently." There's no excessive stress or dysfunction under the surface, everything is as it should be.

[–] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

I’ve never had this experience. Almost all of my professors and most of teachers would have seen this, chuckled, accepted my apology, and then requested a better intro due the next day.

Most of my professors explicitly recognized that we would finish things last minute, cram the night before, be sleep deprived, or otherwise not be great with our schedule. And they did not discourage us with that information but rather tried to aid or alleviate it. I had professors say “I scheduled this exam to be due at 5:30pm on a Friday so that you can enjoy your weekend and not worry about completing this at midnight at a party.”

I think many teachers are much cooler than their students realize, they’re just people and while they have expectations, most teachers won’t spit in your face when you’re expressing yourself genuinely or trying in earnest.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Enh. Depends on the program. I have a diploma in TV production.

First step is knowing who’s marking it, their personality, and if they’re going to be bored reading 100 of these or if they actually love punishing students.

I threw a couple jokes in my final essay and got 100% :)

My work email account has a 2 minute delay before sending any email. I'm not taking chances

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I have that feature turned on but sometimes I don't know how to actually cancel it lol

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Unplug the computer, set it on fire, and never come back.

For projects like this (longish and a product of several sessions) including levity for the sake of your own motivation is fine.

What isn't fine is missing proofreading steps before sending.

I had an english professor that actually demanded an intro like this. He said write ANYTHING as long as you can hook the reader and link it to a thesis statement, and there is no bar to that link.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 12 points 2 weeks ago

That would.... TRUE

[–] fairchild@sopuli.xyz 43 points 2 weeks ago

self hatred fueled writing extravaganza. sounds familiar

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

NGL, I want to read the rest of this paper now.

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

A good intro captivates the reader, drawing them in and leaving them wanting more. This is functionally a masterclass in good writing.

That's an A grade intro if I've ever read one.

[–] Woht24@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Came here to say the same, I'd just read the intro, flick through it a bit and give her an A

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

I used to write intros like that as placeholders because I always wrote the real intro once I was sure where I was going with a paper. I learned to make placeholder text red and all caps after almost making that mistake.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I had to stop this because if I sit down to just write whatever comes to mind, I'll be writing for 3 days straight with an ever increasingly chaotic storyline that is beyond incoherent after a certain point once the sleep deprivation really hits. If there ever was a good idea in it, it's now impossible to find even when edited down.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

And suddenly your comment count makes sense

Edit: no judgement, not that I'm in any position to anyway

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

Ngl, the intro would make it an automatic pass for me. The rest could be shit, and I'd still give then whatever the bare minimum grade to be a pass because it's succinct, accurate, and honest.

if i was her prof id give her the full 35% for that intro.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

At least “self hatred” and “caffeine induced” should be hyphenated there. See me after class.

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok, but where's the rest of it?

You can't just have an epic intro and leave it at that.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah seriously this is a great intro, i would read the fuck out of that essay

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Contact your prof and explain the mistake. When I was a prof, I would have been amused by your brain fart and probably wouldn’t have docked you much, if at all, if you explained what happened.

An extra scoop for cunning.

[–] Cringedrif@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty much how I wrote all my papers in college...finals week was 4 days of writing papers with a crash after.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

No you didn't, for fuck's sake.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I teach for a living and this wouldn't negatively impact the grade. But real talk you're usually using a rubric anyway unless you want admin breathing down your neck after a disgruntled student takes issue with the A minus you gave her.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 weeks ago

I don't grade papers, but I imagine a bit of flavor stands out favorably from all the other very generic writings.

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The subversion of expectations is great, therefore you get a 98 the -2 coming from the wrong date

Lol my most recent dump like that was

"The process for electroplating the contacts is to DROWN THE FUCKERS IN A BATH OF SOLUTION AND USE THE FORCE OF THEIR FINAL GASPS FOR BREATH TO TRANSFER THE PLATING MATERIAL TO THE BASE MATERIAL"

I didn't forget to change it though.
