The joke is rape. Ghost rape, but rape.

Do you mean no as in yeah nah, or nah yeah?

Making a movie is a team effort and everyone that say otherwise is an asshole

Sure, but why not in other industries? I assume at some point this became an issue that was resolved by having comprehensive credits, what was the problem it was seeking to solve?

I’m not complaining, I’m wondering why no other industry feels it’s necessary to do this.

The roundabout will be fine.

It’s only a problem if you have a lazy assessor who just takes the similarly score and runs with it.

When I was marking essays 10 years ago, I saw Turnitin as a manual review tool. You feed an essay into the program, and it would give a percentage for similarly. It would panic students to see that the program was finding some similarly, but unless it was very high, the score was mostly useless.

The useful part is where it highlights the passages that it thought were problematic. Almost all the time those highlighted passages were properly attributed sources, so not plagiarism. If you had an excessive amount of cited material, I might give a lower mark because of less original thought, but it’s still not plagiarism.

I fully agree. If you want to be able to cast subtle spells, invest in the abilities required to do so. Otherwise I say someone starting to cast a spell without warning will be treated the same as someone pulling out a knife without warning: sure they might be planning something on doing something harmless like peel an apple, but without context, you’re going to assume the worst and react accordingly.

The US government or the Chinese government… I’m actually not sure which I trust more at the moment.

Nintendo’s lawyers are probably preparing a patent application right now claiming they invented the farming sim game.

Oh damn, I might be gay?

But does it taste good?

Everyone always forgets Princess Eilonwy.

But a subscription? That’s more akin to saying we’ll send someone to de-tune the car you’ve had tuned unless you pay us protection money monthly.

SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they’ve found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.

Maybe if they hadn’t binged on that carpet it would have been more attainable.

More likely going to schools to tell kids that knives are bad, m’kay.

Or anti-genocide.

You have bigger problems if your lungs have decided to shut down for the night.

According to the NY Times:

the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced.
