  • It was my understanding the robots are either:

    A. Behind glass not doing a damn thing,

    or

    B. Serving popcorn at such speeds that a human would outpace 3 of them in the same timeframe

    I’m pretty sure the guy in the pic is just IRL shit posting. I’m all here 4 it. i like the creativity, but I dont think hes an actual “employee” like some are suggesting

    In US public schooling it is never presented this way. The only reason we were ever told to cite is because of plagiarism, not to support our argument. It was drilled into us that not citing our work could end with us getting sued.

    Capitalism baby! You dont own information, I do!










  • “I bought another book”

    • transactional
    • people will ask if you REALLY need more books
    • reminds you you live under capitalism and sends your money to someone who has enough money already

    “i downloaded this PDF, and found a way to directly support the author (donation of some sort, some sort of merchandise, some other third thing)”

    • you didnt have to pay 3 different middlemen (a bookstore, a publisher, the manufacturer)
    • you either kept more of your money, or the author got more than if you had bought the book
    • you can share the pdf with friends and family, and it isnt taking up space.

    finding a way to support the author is optional if its a college textbook or some shit you’re required to have.
