oh look yet another warmed over "DAE the kids r bad" talking point that i've been hearing literally since i learned language.
it's still a market, and "free" is still a price point
yes because having assigned reading material directly and specifically relevant to the subject of the class is exactly the same as registering for a website full of shitposts and propaganda bots. remember when you got all that spam from opening your textbook, and there was an entire chapter calling you out for being a little bitch?
that's the stupidest comparison i've ever heard.
"hey there's this thing called lemmy, check it out some time" <- leading a horse to water
"ok you have to register an account on lemmy, it's part of your grade" <- shoving a hose down the horse's throat and cranking the spigot
requiring my students to create Lemmy accounts
No. Nobody likes registering accounts for random services because an authority figure told them they had to, I feel like if it were me I would do the bare minimum of interacting that I was required to and never look at the service again out of resentment.
the joke is the guy bitching about illiteracy thinks 40 words is too much to read
native english speaker here, the joke comes across fine and I literally laughed out loud. people who try to police words/grammar/humor like the guy you're replying to are pathetic losers and nobody likes them. keep making funnies in my language and i'll keep laughing and upvoting them!
whine about literacy
proceed to call two sentences "a lot of words" and pretend it's a lot to read
this guy desperately making an asshole of himself trying to troll people is funnier than the meme
i think you're just salty that your inbox blew up with people telling you what an idiotic blowhard you sound like
linguistic prescriptivism is for weird losers bent on controlling others' thoughts. the joke is fine, i think you're upset about something else here.
