    Jesus fuck, you censor the word “motherfucker” but leave the author’s name intact?

        They want to be able to cash in on algorithmic fame. That’s also why they sensor swears. Because the advertisers don’t like them and then the algorithm drops posts with naughty words.

      The water mark makes me believe whatever BoredPanda is got some rights to share the tweet and they censored mother fucker, but maybe the tweeter didn’t care to have their name censored.

      I’m curious how 1984 is AP Lit. We read that years before AP classes were even available… Does that mean they get college credit for reading Orwell now?

        There are university classes analyzing children’s picture books. It’s not about the difficulty of the book, it’s about the level of the analysis.

        1984 is quite unique as a piece of fiction, since almost a third of the book is an appendix about language and history. It’s an excellent book to analyze.

        The difficulty of texts from AP literature versus my honors English courses prior to it weren’t very different. And no, you got college credit for completing the AP exam which involved reading passages and writing essays, not merely reading Orwell lol.

    I had an english professor that actually demanded an intro like this. He said write ANYTHING as long as you can hook the reader and link it to a thesis statement, and there is no bar to that link.

    I had to stop this because if I sit down to just write whatever comes to mind, I’ll be writing for 3 days straight with an ever increasingly chaotic storyline that is beyond incoherent after a certain point once the sleep deprivation really hits. If there ever was a good idea in it, it’s now impossible to find even when edited down.

    I don’t grade papers, but I imagine a bit of flavor stands out favorably from all the other very generic writings.

    Lol my most recent dump like that was

    “The process for electroplating the contacts is to DROWN THE FUCKERS IN A BATH OF SOLUTION AND USE THE FORCE OF THEIR FINAL GASPS FOR BREATH TO TRANSFER THE PLATING MATERIAL TO THE BASE MATERIAL”

    I didn’t forget to change it though.
