  • When you take a non-academically challenging degree and get told "lol just Google it" by a professor when you ask how to do a specific part of an assignment correctly after being told "nah you did it wrong"

    (Totally didn't happen to me and why I dropped out I swear)

    Fun fact (not really) about Nim: he and the other ASL chimps were HORRIBLY abused. Basically every single one of them.

    And it was all for nothing, not a single bit of evidence shows that teaching chimps ASL worked and allowed any form of actual communication.

    Yes, even Koko.

  • I made an account here FIRST on lemmy, but moved to world a week in or so because that was a more active instance

    When they stupidly banned communities from here I came back and literally have said out loud that I'm unsure why I ever left

    It's a perfect home for lemmy for me (a weird lurker who loves piracy and shrooms and whatnot) and the "is closing" scared the shit out of me lol




  • I have walked out of damn near every job I've had so far, always when they think that attempting to screw me is a good idea

    "Oh, you're one of our best drivers, flawless record, history of cleaning up other drivers messes, and we even specifically called you to hire you back after you left because we knew we could trust you? We're gonna file this blown oil filter as an accident that was your fault, no raise for you this year"

    Got into a literal shouting match with my ex boss after that one, holy fuuuuuck


  • If someone wants me to install a service exclusively to speak to them: fuck em, not worth it.

    I use basic text messages to contact people, it's damn near the most universal thing people have when I meet them. I'm not gonna go out of my way to download an app and remember to use it for a specific person when texting exists and everyone else uses it already
