The way these people obfuscate the *incredibly clearly stated* (especially by the standards of often rather florid 19th Century prose) meaning of this Amendment is astounding. Their efforts to kick out people they don’t like is disgusting.

This. People should read universities’ Statements of Purpose. Ours is florid and ott, but it states clearly our purpose is to uphold liberal democracy.

The funny thing about the book I am ready at the moment is it has quotes from florid commentators of ancient times.
I mean, they're basically very good social media posts. A bit of wit, push the envelope a bit on a social issue, a country or a historic moment.
I guess nothing changes in a way.

I can tell there's going to be a blizzard
of being somewhere else
any minute
because of time's noise eating itself up
that is the noise of listening
that looks like a seething, florid whiteout of wings.

I did not spend a lot of time trying to find plagiarism; I think cheating is its own punishment. (Unless it was someone who somehow wrote in florid, perfect English on papers but not tests; sometimes, you have to drop that hammer.)
If turnitin says ai was involved they get a zero and then we have a conversation.

Every quote I read from these takes sounds like cartoon Gilded Age villains starring in a Seinfeld episode--all the absurd florid retrograde nativist takes/lies trying to outdo each other and pratfalling all over themselves in a made up NYC where everyone else is a supporting character.

And it wasn't fun or florid enough to blow past all of today, either. Maybe it would've hit ten or fifteen years ago, at the start of the smartphone era.

This dude hates himself. He is going after a mid career independent journalist for using heightened rhetoric and florid metaphors when criticizing rich people?

2/5, slight and overly florid, with a "the ghost was a metaphor" ending to make an A24 exec roll their eyes.

An ED doctor told me recently about a patient who presented to ED with florid psychosis, apparently being reinforced by ChatGPT. The patient insisted they had to keep talking to it because “it was the only one who understood them.”

Just have to show off this GIF I made a while back every once in a while. Since nobody has created kissing animation mod like this so I ended up shooting it frame by frame to achieve the exact kissing I wanted. I’m not usually one to brag but I really fucking love it LOL~

The early sapien cannot escape the grip of civilization - he refuses to entire a domicile through the window. A florid irony; despite the trappings of domesticity his primoridal anima compels him to return to the cave.
lot of people have asked why Fred doesn't go in through the window but i think it's pretty obviously related to whatever fight he's very clearly been having with Wilma that's also why she's just sitting there in this like 100 square foot house pretending not to hear him

I can acknowledge the poor almost certainly have worse struggles and higher stress, but this person again was describing them in florid terms as if they were all irrevocably broken. That account thought they were helping somehow by otherizing the poor to that extent.

I am willing without further exercise in pain to open my heart. And this needs no doctrine or theology of suffering. We love apocalypses too much, and crisis ethics and florid extremism with its thrilling language. Excuse me, no. I've had all the monstrosity I want.

When people like a work of art, they’re often not very good at engaging critically with the elements outside the absolute best 10-20%.
Visual highlights, florid musical passages of score, elaborate set pieces get cited without regard to the majority of the total experience and structure.

I used that at the library today, twice. Two books by new authors I don't know at all. The first had a page 1 full of florid prose that said nothing, the second introduced me to the main character and made me *need* to know what happened next.
Guess which I brought home?
