If the teacher is going to basically plagarize the assignment and I've already done it elsewhere to the best of my ability, how the hell am I supposed to do anything other than resubmit the work I'd done for that assignment the first time?
That doesn't make sense to me. Even after reading the below referenced wikipedia section on self plagiarism, it seems a contested topic and kinda ridiculous.
South Korea, the country with the world’s lowest birth rate, expects it to fall even further in the next two years while its overall population is expected to plummet to levels not seen since the 1970s....
Governments might have thought of that when they were spending decades endorsing wealth inequality and subsidizing everything from the top. Why make more people when life's already not worth living and everything continues to get worse at an accelerating rate?
Watergate is just the name of a hotel/shop/office complex in DC. The Watergate scandal had nothing to do with water, it's just named after the place where it occurred. The -gate suffix for scandals is dumb.
I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too....
I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you’re tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread
This motherfucker wants someone "who understands the ‘importance of dialogue'" after he invaded Russia's neighboring country, straight up stole land & children and sanctioned his troops raping, pillaging and murdering civilians?!?
Putin is not a serious person on any level. His words and actions have no business being treated in a serious manner.
He should be hunted down and disposed of like a rabid dog.
He's not a human. Just trash.
Fucking cancerous trash.
im very worried about this!!! i read news about meta with the fediverse and people say meta will destroy and make the fediverse stop existing and force everyone to go to facebook?? is this true?? they will embrace extend and extinguish?? and kill the fediverse??? but this is my only social media!! im not against meta but i dont...
Probably. Not sure if this will do it. But there's inherent privacy concerns in having a bunch of relatively insecure silos interoperating as a semi-social network even if most of us do so with varying degrees of anonymity. For the moment, most of us are here to avoid corporate overreach so motivations are in a certain degree of alignment. But it's just a matter of time before something goes wrong or the winds change in an unforeseen way.
Wasn't referring to what Meta could do or even necessarily that there's an issue with Lemmy's software. More that there's a bunch of servers with various configurations without resources dedicated to intrusion detection, mitigation or reporting. If something did happen at a server level to a hobbyist instance there's no reason to believe users or maybe even the persons running the instance would know about it.
Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the “biggest, baddest Truck on the road” for the everyday American. Are you guys...
Been around for ages. They're usually outfitted as small lorries, catering trucks, moving vans, small fire engines, ambulances, tow trucks, etc. It's pretty rare to see one as a consumer vehicle.
Pretty sure ol Pooty was just telling that caller in and anyone involved that they're about to fall out a window or spend some quality time in a labor camp.
That look, those facial gymnastics, those words. He was pissed.
Hope they get away with it. Fuck that asshole.
Sir Joseph Whitworth is quite the famous name in engineering circles, credited with the development of such things as Whitworth threading (the first standardized thread pattern) and engineer’s blue.

Looked up how to drill hexagonal holes and came up with some answers for holes that weren't much deeper than their width... Really not sure how this would be done for a rifle bore, though. Is there twist to the bore? Seems like a nightmare to manufacture.
Is there anyway to implement (without spinning up your own private instance) the ability for individual users to opt out of federation of their content to certain instances, or would that introduce too much overhead and complication?
Lemmy users where falsely accused of plagiarism, how did it happen ?

Sex hormones are powerful. Running through everybody's blood. Creating massive aggression, obsession and mental disturbance. What if we could remove their mental influence?
