Oh I agree! I actually have another comment in this thread where I said I think that more people are excited about uncovering fraudulent work than ever before imo.

Probably both considering that many people need these studies to return results to continue getting funded. At the same time, more academics than ever are excited about uncovering fraudulent work (imo).

No there are three. You missed the guy grumbling in the corner about academia being in shambles (in the US at least)

I mean shit we’ve been having this under a different name (Boy Scouts) brought to us by the British and the US for the past 100+ years.

Scouting today is obviously a lot different than back then (literally a training program for the british scouts section of the armed forces), but still an astounding number of scouts from the US and UK go into military service as a result.

And I’m an eagle scout so I seen this shit from the inside.

Farmville players do not buy AAA games. We need to get this idea that mobile games and other forms of video games are connected out of our collective heads.

So because some people are reckless, all people should be unable to fix their shit?

It’s also a drinking song!

Yeah crackheads are just always getting up to some nonsense to get money for more crack, or at least so I thought

Oh no not it’s no tits

How can they prove guilt? Innocent until proven guilty under English common law, right?

Ig technically, but it was really the US that invaded Afghanistan. Considering their allies that sent significantly smaller forces and did not make the decision to start the military activity as fellow invaders is disingenuous at best.

I would hope that cooler heads prevail, as they have before.

This is the most famous one but I believe there was also one by NORAD in the 60s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident

It’s kinda wild to claim that the US invaded Russia when they literally only sent one contigent of troops. That’s like saying Canada invaded Afghanistan.

“As with many modern scientific creature-names, it was coined in Modern Latin from Greek elements, so it might be allowed to partake of Latin grammar in forming the plural”

Literally from the link you provided. It was coined initially in the language of modern latin, from Greek roots, certainly, but the word objectively and literally comes from modern latin.

Smartest man involved, cephalus was!

Nope! Octopuses, octopuses, and octopi are all correct afaik

Exactly. I think that’s what the sentiment of the person you’re replying to was as well.

In the US they usually just hit you with trumped up charges for daring to do something. When the keystone xl pipeline was being built some protesters crawled inside so they couldn’t continue working… those protesters were charged with attempted murder iirc (because it was dangerous for them to crawl inside the pipeline or some bs).

POV: you’re reading the comment of somebody that doesn’t cook for themselves

All English words that don’t have a specific pluralization (eg mouse, mice) can be pluralized with either an s or an es. It’s also a Latin and Greek root, so it can be pluralized as you did, in the Latin way, or the Greek way (Thesauroi), or alternatively with the s/es ending, all of which are correct!
