[...] may be pertinent for our ~~understanding of the current moment opposed to what came before~~ unburdening by what has been.

needs a "perchance" in there tbh

the courses i found were the most actually conducive to writing meaningful stuff in essays were the ones that had a really low word count limit. like when i had to write a synthesis paper in under 300 words it was a lot better than the ones i had to write at least 1,500

i hate academic jargon so fucking much lmao

I teach a scientific writing course, and the first 6 weeks are dedicated to writing shorter and shorter versions of the same paper, starting with 1,000 words and ending at 200. It's amazing how clean you can get an explanation if you really try, and those last drafts are always much better across the board.

writing like an AI trained on an AI trained on ChatGPT paraphrasing the Marxists Internet Archive

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[-] AFineWayToDie@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

Okay, switch to Courier New and double your page count

emdash? Oh you're going sicko mode

emdash is whatever speedball cocktail they put Biden on for my neuron alignment. pure brain-to-paper ADHD—unadulterated—they refine that shit till it’s blue and a hacky sepia filter appears over the Mexican border. my keyboard is my pharmacist and Word is my insurance company nerd erm a comma would work better there—fuck off. enter my mind palace coward. you won’t know what I wrote either

The minute I saw it I knew you what type trip you're on right now. Semicolons are my drug of choice though

--and as well establish contrast--

This is looking less like dissense and more like nonsense

[-] PurrLure@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Is it in the middle of the essay? If so, you're probably fine.

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I think you meant to say "well-established." If you meant to say anything at all lmao

[-] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

There's no point in learning to write essays over 800 words. In the real world you know no one's gonna read that shit if it's longer
