Lazy and dishonest fascism

The bald-faced audacity and scope of his plagiarism is staggering.
Never heard of the guy but he’s running against Webster so I’ll probably never hear of the guy again.

 

What the hell UF?

1. I was accused (correctly) of plagiarism in a referee report. I plagiarized the best - myself!
2. My dissertation was gone over with a fine tooth comb by the library Nazis. This was way back in the day. I manually changed et. al. to et al. about 500 times. Bitching about it later at the bar, my bud told me the Macro for replacing 'em all at once. I spent the night after my rehearsal dinner & prior to my marriage furiously fixing shit in a document that I am sure no one save my committee ever read.

 

Wikipedia!!?!

 

I always found the idea of plagiarizing yourself to be strange. I guess as a rule formality in citing work properly, it can make sense, but on another level, the idea that you can't write the same thing that you wrote earlier without citing it when it's your idea doesn't make sense. Then again, finding different ways to say the same thing is hard!

Oh dude, the hell that is the week before having to submit the diss to the editorial office. Might have been my worst week in grad school...well that and our oral comp exams (which for me felt like an inquisition of seven phd's just hazing the shite out of me for two hours). The ptsd is real

 

I suppose that's slightly better than energetic and honest fascism

 

This will be a real test of Sabatini's Nietzschian will-to-power and uber-mensch status, but he probably didnt do the reading.

 

He would have no idea what you’re talking about.

 

I'm not sure I do either haha

 

If true, UF can revoke his degree(s), though in the current FL climate, he'd probably make the short list of potential DeSantis running mates. Anyway, nothing ever good comes from the Long Island variant of Italian NYers

 

I was shocked when I learned that you could be guilty of plagiarizing yourself. Seems very Orwellian. If it’s my thoughts, I can have them over and over again.

 

DeSantis just found the next Florida University president. Once he ousts the next one he politically disagrees with, that is.

 

It does seem bit strange and yeah, that's the problem we humans have the same thoughts over and over. But there is a logical reasoning behind it, at least in the formal academic sense. To me, it doesn't to me carry the same degree of wrongness. More like, "yeah well, you should have cited yourself here"

 

It’s been a while, but I guess we sign away copyrights when we publish

 

I had to look that one up.

Somewhat similar maybe, when I went to vote on Tuesday, I handed my drivers license to the poll worker. When she handed it back to me, she said, “We want you to vote in November, so please renew your drivers license before then.”

This is always baffles me. I understand needing a valid drivers license to drive. But does my identity disappear the day it expires? Is the picture and name and DOB no longer mine?
