The Twitter user is a doomed man. He has no personal interests, no business affairs, no emotions, no attachments, no property, and no name. Everything in him is wholly absorbed in the single thought and the single passion for poasting.
@mattyglesias@MalloryMcMorrow@KFILE Chuck Schumer deciding to put his thumb on the scale and get Peters to oust McMorrow after she said Schumer ought to step back seems like a more relevant reason for McMorrow dropping out, with support pouring in for Stevens prior to April
@AishvarR@inerati this is a pretty embarrassing review on Tabarrok’s part, especially here - I’ll crib from Cowen and not explain (‘it is obvious to those paying attention’)
@AffectiveAutism@sugarbets_@dynomight7 Right, now that we understand the difference we now *also* understand that Crem is making Content:tm: that he is improperly attributing, not simply talking to another person
You don’t get to tone police plagiarism. This secondary issue is a complete distraction
@AffectiveAutism@sugarbets_@dynomight7 do you think there’s maybe a difference between taking someone else’s synthesis of data and making it unclear what is your analysis and what is theirs, versus summarizing a paper?
@dynomight7 Plagiarism is about power
Shouldn’t you be grateful for a link? Crem is an Important Person ingratiated with Important People, which gives him the right to tone-police how you respond to his transgressions
@cremieuxrecueil@dynomight7 I’m sorry but the notion that you don’t understand “copy my homework but change it up a little” is still plagiarism is a little ridiculous.
You thought you could get away with it by vaguely dumping links when you’re inevitably called out. It’s fine man, it’s twitter
@cremieuxrecueil@dynomight7 Gay pretty clearly *didn’t* copy exactly everything besides the thing she thought was some sort of Official Definition, as evidenced by the fact that everything that wasn’t directly highlighted is something different from the original text
How is this hard?
@cremieuxrecueil@dynomight7 Just to make sure, your view is that the Claudine Gay situation would’ve been remedied if she simply put a link somewhere at the end of her footnotes?
@_Plac3_hold3r@QuasLacrimas@siegfriedmuell this is twitter so I can only apologize for not being able to fully explain why an organization that has spent decades forming partnerships and plans cannot be easily replaced by a hodgepodge of directionless billionaire pet projects.
Good luck out there man 👍
@_Plac3_hold3r@QuasLacrimas@siegfriedmuell pepfar works with partner countries to make their supply chains more efficient, their health institutions stronger, and sustainability of the project feasible.
taking advantage of economies of scale and having the U.S. back you is not something charities can Just Do
@QuasLacrimas@siegfriedmuell remember, X isn’t real -> and if X is real it’s emotional blackmail to point it out -> and if it’s not bad to point it out it’s really the left’s fault for being so crazy that they force you to have the positions you do!
@QuasLacrimas@siegfriedmuell the specific claim was that it costs 12 cents per day. I don’t know why pointing out that you people have poor reading comprehension is considered “emotional blackmail” but feel free to keep poasting man
