  • Oh fucking hell I hate this thing.

    I am going back to school through work. I didn’t have this bullshit in my younger days. It’s made me drop my honors courses due to an asinine endless loop of hell.

    Whatever X percent matches as plagiarism. Professor says Y% is calculated for, for template formatting, etc. Still have some highlights of 3-4 words here and there, starting or ending paragraphs, “describe “blah”” answers that no matter how you re-word them something highlights. OK. Get creative with wording and phrasing, rewrite again.

    Now I’m pinged as using AI to do my writing. What?! Asshat prof basically has to side teach me where to check for this, school doesn’t have a tool. Fucker, I am old and can write faster than some chatbot. They’ve prob been trained on my whole generations writings.

    Anyway. If I cleared the plagiarism, I failed the AI writing check. If I corrected my paper and cleared the AI check, I failed the plagiarism again. Fuck Turnitin.

    The fruit is where we got the word for the color! There was no color word for orange until the fruit started becoming known and traded around the globe. Boggled my fucking mind as a kid when I learned that.

    Edit, it is early for me… As I don’t know anything about the origin of aubergine… is it the same deal? And I just need to wake up and catch up, lol?









  • Yes! I want to see data somewhere. I hear all the time that DEI puts less qualified people in positions but I think I’ve only read one article about this being found out and provable (no idea if it was even fact, it was so many years ago) though I have not researched the data or anything. I think it’s similar to the “welfare queen” screeching. Because one shit person took advantage of a system meant to help, does not mean that all who are a part of that system have the same goal.

    And the recent news of Elon wanting to hire from overseas because Americans are too dumb. Assume by race and location of person that they are the most qualified… hmmm. Their bigotry doesn’t even make sense consistently.
