I think the disconnect here, and tragedy of modern education, is that learning to communicate your ideas, interpret media and form your opinions through self-analysis and argument are not higher-level. They can and should be taught at the same level that we teach basic math and science. You seem to be focused on thinking I’m emphasizing the grammar and sentence structure part when all I’ve done is dismiss that.
Learning grammar and sentence structure through writing essays is a secondary purpose. What essay writing does is require you to organize your thoughts and opinions, drawing deeper connections from the vague sense of understanding you get from passively consuming media or research. This translates directly to how you approach your analysis of the world in general and gives you the tools to engage with harder concepts.
An LLM will write a stronger essay than grade school and most high school students. But students are supposed to write weak essays. It’s a necessary step to how you learn to form stronger arguments and strengthen your own patterns of thought.
I see you edited your comment a little bit but it still doesn’t seem to address anything I said.
You say: “the point of essays has become pointless busywork”
From what I can tell from your comment, ‘the point of essays’ is either to teach penmanship or to teach spelling, grammar, structure, and format. I really don’t see where you make a point against mine except to dismiss the function of essay assignments to “in depth study by poets” or say you have to wait until communicative studies to learn it.
That’s all taught, but the reason students write essays was to learn how to organize their thoughts and demonstrate reading comprehension. Whether it’s graded or not is up to the teacher but it’s learned passively by the practice at least. And I was taught principals of reading comprehension along with them. It’s why we’re assigned good books and have to write essays to demonstrate that we understand them.
Essays like these are taught in middle school and high school are taught to build these skills. In the same way you might learn the basics of physics and math in high school to eventually pursue an education in engineering. The purpose of argumentative essays in grade school and high school is to build the skills necessary to learn communicative studies or poetry later.

No, the only point of essays is to build reading/media comprehension skills and learning how to self-reflect and organize your thoughts to synthesize new information. It’s very important.
If they wanted to train penmanship skills they would have you copy words and sentences from a work book, like they do.
I’m pretty sure the implied “punchline” is that he pisses in her mouth at home, so they would do it in public so that he gets experience pissing away from home.
It doesn’t make a lot of sense. I guess a non-horny version of the joke with the same punchline would be if she brought their entire toilet from home and asked him to go in their home toilet out in public?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•when people on here tell me to diversify my posts:
5·2 days agoFrom what I’ve seen. The love now is a reaction to the initial hate. When violet08 started posting I remember most of the responses were “what is this horny shit doing all over my timeline?” and when they wouldn’t let up people started to see them as an icon.
Now that they’ve deleted their account and came back of course people are going to be hyping up the prodigal son even more ironically than usual.
I think this person’s point was lost when they drew the creatures to be very cute as well.

And lots of Walmarts “expenses” that they take out of their profit go into property rental and acquisition, I would venture to say it’s one of if not the largest percentage of their expenses, much like my apartment is.

6·29 days agoYes. You should have to censor yourself for neighbors and peers to have a functioning society. You should not have to do it for corporations. The line is pretty cut and dry and we should fight to keep it.
Now on principal the first person is wrong. But it does depend on what they found…
It’s like a kit car. It comes with the chassis and engine all intact, technically street-legal. You just get to decide whether you want windshields and doors, which some people consider pretty obvious and too much of a hassle to pretend they’re “optional”
It makes more sense when the isekai is the character getting transported away and immediately placed in mortal danger over and over like Wizard of Oz. Dorothy has a choice of a provincial life where she might grow up and a world where flying monkeys attack her every chance they get and she’s never not on the run the entire story.
If I were isekai’d I would probably be extremely curious about whether I had a connection to my old world. But I wouldn’t necessarily leap to go the first chance I got.
I think they mean the targets were guilty but the post office workers and secretaries that got bombed were still innocent.
Also, we’re a lot farther out on the end of one of the arms.
