RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.

It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

Tangentially related, I searched "how to animate bowing" on DDG today and got a page of results and a long line of video recommendations about shooting bows, bouncing balls, and "are u sure u didn't mean BOWLING?"

I died of cringe.

I get that DDG is based on bing. I ended up just saving random anime gifs of "worship bowing" and will have to use these for reference instead :<

More than a decade ago, search engines used to be so... Good? Like, I didn't even have to add "reddit" to the end of my search string, searching for obscure stuff used to be so easy. A study on how the human body & weight shifts with a bowing motion shouldn't be so hard to find, but today's search engine algorithms are so trash, it just could not.

Sounds like you need to go read some books on etiquette, there are several different types of bowing across different cultures and periods. Then take the instructions and video some people performing the action.

But yeah search is shit now.
