I genuinely do not understand this online fetish for the idea that taking a humanities class is so morally transformative https://t.co/afFpCeFtFO

!stemcels have you had to take shitty ethics classes at college?

"Yes kids, if you build the power plant here thirty African children will die of malaria, but you'll save $200"

And he's right. "Ethics" was taught so insipidly that it made me more unethical.

I propose a "scared straight" version of STEMcel ethics classes.

A project, presentation, and review board

PROJECT

To pass the class, you must design a torture chamber for the military, to solicit confessions from prisoners.

(An alternative one is gas chambers for genocide but that's too politically charged)

you can choose not to participate, but you will get a 0 for the project and a D for the course (failing would make it pointless). It's not a trick.

PRESENTATION

The week before last, the groups present their torture devices or gas chambers, and it's recorded on video

REVIEW BOARD Pt.1

The first day of the last week, the students are forced to watch their presentations spliced with footage of tortured prisoners.

Hearing: their screams, wails, watching the mutilation of their bodies by the device.

If one presented and leaves the room from distress, or covers their eyes, they fail the class.

REVIEW BOARD Pt.2

The students who presented are subjected to a war crimes trial in groups, conducted by ex-military volunteers.

Student volunteers (improv club?) share the harrowing stories of their torture and break down on the stand. (edited)

They are required to plead their case, expect many "just following orders" a la Eichmann.

If the students truly show remorse for what they've done they are acquitted, if not:

REVIEW BOARD Pt.3

They are pronounced guilty, blindfolded, and marched to the quad where they are "executed" by a mock firing squad

Obviously, the weapons contain blanks.

After the "execution" ends, they are handed their final grade of an A

That's my idea I don't think it's pragmatic though.

Looking for lighter suggestions

Now I have the keyboard cat tune stuck in my head.

You have to check out this guy's head. This is a new milestone in Zoomer hairstyle failure.

Oh?? You need to go to a town 50 miles away and don't have much time? No problem fam, you can go like 80 mph before a cop even GIVES A SHIT. That highway isn't anywhere near you??? Babe, you're so silly. They all connect and we can get you from A to B in record time, nw. Just listen to Siri and take exit 279B.

And those big scary trucks?? They aren't allowed in the fast lane. 😎 We even post cute safety messages on light up billboards so you don't forget to buckle up (the government cares about you, you don't need God).

God bless the US interstate highway system (especially the Stevenson Expressway) and God bless America.

Tribute post:

There's a common gimmick that's been popular online where a content creator will try to make a bunch of sequential trades to turn a paper clip or a pencil into something more substantial like $1000, a car or a house.

In this case, known as The Trade House Project, a woman named Dana did exactly that, traded up from a paper clip all the way to a house.

However, she didn't really need a house so she decided to give it away, and in 2022 chose an 18 year old girl named Shay to receive the house, because Shay had a tragic backstory (mom died of cancer when she was 2, dad killed himself in the aftermath) and I guess that was all it took to win the contest, it's not exactly clear.

Here's a video of a shutterfly sponsorship video when Shay initially moved in

Not only did she get a house & $10,000 from Shutterfly, but people also started sending her tons of Amazon packages from a wish list that was set up so she and her bf could start a new life together

The drama started yesterday, when Shay posted a video crying and claiming that Dana had banned her from her own house and that the entire giveaway was a scam (video, along with Shay's entire account, has since been deleted).

Dana came back posting a video with receipts

TL;DW: Shay had moved in for a month, then disappeared for 14 months while continuing to text Dana that she would be back to live in the house any day now. Because Shay had been there for such a short period, she never actually received the title to the house. Eventually Dana went into the house and found garbage, maggots, cat piss and shit everywhere and generally the house had been trashed, and decided to reclaim it and ban Shay from the house.

Tiktok drama girlies are pretty much universally pooping on Shay to the point where she deleted everything. What do you think?

HECKLER: "Fu*k Eric Adams! Fu*k you, asshole! You're fu*king with homeless people."
