#you think people would do that? go on the internet and tell lies?

It's a very interesting development that Sonic the Hedgehog of all characters is considered a liar, at least when it comes to his own well being and life

Some kind of deception is going on here about Sonics feelings but what?

i was skimming some of my old WOT liveblogs and i've found what i believe to be my first ever recorded Gawyn Thoughts. an important historic relic! pretty sure it was from TGH or TDR.

look at my innocent little self assuming that popularly-maligned WOT characters must surely be popularly maligned for justifiable reasons. i had so much faith in the fandom back then!

captivated by this Twin Peaks summary on my piracy website of choice. this does not happen even a little bit at any time

[Image ID: text that reads, "Twin Peaks - Season 3. In the season opener, agent Cooper is contacted by a Japanese man who has come to Twin Peaks looking for his missing girlfriend. In order to clear his mind and focus on the clues, Cooper enjoys a refreshing cup of Georgia Coffee." The genre is listed as crime, drama, and mystery. /end ID]

Oh we’re doing that thing again where we pretend business degrees are useless so that way if (when) corporations commit serious crimes or influencers commit serious ethical violations we can all be like “lol they didn’t know anything business school only teaches two+2!”

Meanwhile the textbook lays out the exact scenario as what NOT to do in week 2. In a textbook that, weirdly, no businessperson ever cites. Despite it being almost universally taught in classrooms and lecture halls. Sure.

It’s almost like people are pretending there aren’t regulations to learn in hopes that they’ll go away…

And the general public making those jokes are falling for it…

But of course the jokesters you like would never lie to you so it must be something else! Surely they’ve learned nothing about the tax code to exploit loopholes! They definitely haven’t learned any dodgy marketing practices! They’d have to go to a class for that! And business schools only teach… 2+2.

Remember this: people on the internet will lie to you for money. Never believe anything without fact checking and ascertaining they don’t have a vested interest in lying.

If you believe this, you have fallen directly for a dodgy marketing tactic.

We can do this right now: think of every influencer you know in a research-heavy niche who is known for or suspected of cutting serious research corners. Now think of influencers you know that make jokes about how business degrees are useless. I suspect a pattern might be emerging.

Fashion merchandising, accounting, and marketing are all business majors. We literally have not finished the reckoning of how marketing uses psychology and sociology to manipulate people. Please, let’s pretend to be just a little bit serious. You are nodding along with “accounting majors? They don’t know how to do math!” (And keep in mind… we all have to take basic accounting classes. A lot of jokes made about business majors and business school are only specifically applicable to one type of MBA student.) Use your brains. Don’t let weirdos you don’t know making a living on the internet lie to you.

I just watched a YouTube video where everyone was laughing at the students and neither the host or the comments put together that teaching comprehensive business ethics is an avenue for teaching the more cynical students a roadmap on how to disregard ethics and get away with it. Why? Because the host implied either the students weren’t paying attention or the professor was lying about the coursework, and the audience believed him.

If you see someone doing this: click off the video. Immediately. They are not a trustworthy source of information.

“the proof is literally right there in the video are you blind” do you think they revived dinosaurs for the jurassic park movies? do you think the live action lion king was a documentary?? it’s okay if you say yes, we all knew that anyways.

anti-honesty hour: what are your ocs best qualities :)

Jamie is so good at emotional regulation and keeping calm. They never lash out about anything, and are very good at coping with their emotions!

Josephine is an extremely careful person! She never takes extreme risks, and would always think through the potential consequences of her actions before she makes a plan.

Alex is very good at understanding other people's viewpoints. It doesnt matter how much they different from his own, he can still find a way to accept when people dont understand things the way he does.

Aurora is sooooo kind and sweet. She treats everybody with respect and care, and wouldnt even hurt a fly.
