    What an entitled, selfish demand to claim others are responsible to convince you to do the most basic of civic duties. Do you also blame your dentist when you don’t brush? Your doctor when you’re malnourished?

    You’re an adult, whether you accept that or not. That means you’re responsible for your choices, including the choice to let an election fall to the greater evil because you couldn’t assed to fill in a ballot for anybody. Nobody else is responsible for you, that’s on you.











  • It’s absolutely cheating - it’s plagiarism. It’s no different in that regard than copying a paper found online, or having someone else write the paper for you. It’s also a major self-own - these students have likely one opportunity to better themselves through higher education, and are trashing that opportunity with this shit.

    I do agree that institutions need to adapt. Edit history is an interesting idea, though probably easy to work around. Imo, direct teacher-student interfacing would be the most foolproof, but also incredibly taxing on time and effort for teachers. It would necessitate pretty substantial changes to current practices.
