The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Some schad on my addled brain:

Wanted to fix me some instant noodles for a snack.

- Put the dry noodles in the bowl
- Add the seasonings
- Pour the hot water in
- <Win98 error alert sound>
- This water looks weird
- <dial-up modem noise>
- This is the coffee pot, not the water kettle

The <Win98 error alert sound> brain thing is a life saver. I remember staring at a toothbrush and a razor while some corner of my brain helpfully pointed out that I was about to stick the wrong one inside my mouth

I tried a little, just out of curiosity if they might somehow be good by some freak serendipity.

They were not.

Wish it had fired up before I poured the whole bowl full. But I guess I'm thankful that it at least did before I added the can of tuna I was gonna put in, too. That poo poo's expensive.

This guy went after the Harvard president for loving up an answer about Israel/Palestine during some hearing by digging up her academic works and found a bunch of plagiarism (mostly lifting some sentences verbatim here and there without attribution). This got her removed from the position.

Then someone found that his wife stole poo poo from wikipedia. Now he's mad and going to do more digging.

He's an rear end in a top hat but, great, gently caress up all the plagiarists :shrug:

If I understand correctly, they were mad at that Harvard president for daring to be a bit critical of Israel.

So in principle, calling out all those plagiarist shits is fine, but the reason he started digging in the first place is suspect.




Lmao. But only because that little poo poo apparently wasn't hurt at all.

It is, but if they leave themselves open to people looking for skeletons in their closet by having skeletons in their closet, that’s on them.

And if your wife has skeletons in her closet, maybe don’t take on the mantle of Skeleton Hunter General.

everyone should just read an article about the whole story. the plagiarism didnt really have anything to do with the issue at hand. just a tool a billionaire hedge fund manager used to attack the harvard prez. the schad is that someone did it to his wife too. but anyway, the “plagiarism” wasnt even plagiarism by any normal standard

i got child covers for the stove dials because one of my cats managed to press one in and twist which left the gas on and the igniter clicking. A cast iron pan was on its way to getting really hot and just started smoking when I got to the kitchen for breakfast. I'm guessing one was jumping down and leaned on it then gave it a kick. They're not even supposed to be up on the counter at all!

This happened to me too, except the cat didn’t turn on the igniter. Fortunately I was home and smelled the gas

This topic is like a honeypot for plagiarists lol. Copying entire paragraphs or sentences from a different paper without attribution is absolutely plagiarism. By Harvard's own standards, even:

quote:

When you fail to cite your sources, or when you cite them inadequately, you are plagiarizing,
which is taken extremely seriously at Harvard. Plagiarism is defined as the act of either
intentionally OR unintentionally submitting work that was written by someone else. If you turn
in a paper that was written by someone else, or if you turn in a paper in which you have included
material from any source without citing that source, you have plagiarized

I've been curious, as someone who has never lived in a place that had gas anything- what's the procedure for this? Just open all the windows and hope like hell it ventilates in a reasonable timeframe?

He doesn't actually care about plagiarism, it was an excuse to attack her after some students criticised Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza and she didn't condermn Hamas enough in response.

Ackman also supported Kyle Rittenhouse when he was on trial for murdering those two guys, in case you needed another example of what he really cares about.

Edit: if there's any schadenfreude here it's some libs getting their wallets inspected by Republicans pretending to care about their rules, again
