Everyone has so many of these stupid, made-up rules

Everyone does do they? You’ve got to get out more / at all.

My partners photo is just the one that came up with when I originally added her into my phone. I don’t know where it got the photo from, I definitely didn’t take it.

Yeah, I really don’t understand who the target demographic is for this? It’s not like they are doing anything interesting with the universe, it’s just the same story again.

They could have done anything with this but they are doing this. Do a different time period or something.

What are you on about? Why is it the job of France of all places to sort American political issues out? The French just don’t want to be drawn into this war, it’s not some political attack against Trump, it’s just them defending themselves from the inevitable fallout.

If you are viewing this as some sort of anti-trump administration political manoeuvring, that’s your problem.

Of course, Americans don’t learn their own history. You know the saying, in America 100 years is a long time.

Anyway I thought that Trump was talking to “some powerful people who seem to be in charge”.

At this point getting Trump to tweet grumpy about your country it the sign that you’ve made it is a nation.

Oh no the administration who don’t value their allies are mad at us. Big whoop, it’s not as if being an ally of the US is even particularly beneficial anymore.

Yeah but if Israel does anything bad you’re not allowed to criticise it because then that’s anti-semitism. They can practically do anything, including murder and no one (in government) bats an eye.

I would absolutely not want someone I’d found on Craigslist in my house.

Have you had tried hydrocortisone that’s much more commonly prescribed for eczema. Vaseline isn’t medical, it’s just lubricant

The problem is it’s not plagiarism detector (it would also be a pretty bad one since it can’t detect quotes) it’s an AI detector.

It’s saying that a direct quote is AI, Which obviously isn’t true, it’s a quote, which is a different thing.

If 10% of my thesis is quoting other works that’s not the same as my thesis being 10% AI generated. The distinction needs to be made.

When I was at university I was pretty belligerent and if a professor tried that on me I’d have reported them for academic misconduct. They should be grading in the damn papers themselves, if they’re not going to do that then what is the point in them?

I had to write a short story for English literature class in 2006 and I still have the file. Apparently over half of that is AI generated, which is pretty impressive on my part I must say.

Well the local pigeons are definitely not getting any more intelligent I’ll tell you that.

That’s why you have to occasionally stick your arse in the air on a sunny day. Do it near a school or local park. You’ll be fine, if anyone asks tell them JFK said to.

Well it’s only a theory has anyone actually met a germ?

It’s found in plants and bacteria so it’s not actually exclusively plants which is why in most countries you’re not allowed to use it as a weed killer.

So does it go after organic tissue or not, because last time I checked I’m pretty certain that plants are organic. No one has plants in their stomach either. What a prat.

In real life it would have been named after it’s discoverer or the planet on which it was found. Most sci-fi shows at least name their made up materials Nequadah, Trilithium, Spice, Red Matter, Really hot tea, etc

It is truly a dumb decision because it’s got absolutely nothing to do with the film. It’s just lazy justification for being there, they could have chosen anything.

I think it’s a room temperature superconductor which, ok I can see why that’s useful, but if you’re in a future where you have interstellar starships flying on a semi regular basis to another star system I think you’ve probably already invented room temperature superconductors. In fact they must have room temperature superconductors because their starships are powered by fusion drive which needs electromagnetic confinement in order to work. So at least the first ship would have to already have that tech just to get out there in the first place.
