#i still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes wondering if i cited my sources correctly

[cemeterything]

obviously people steal things from other people it's one of the oldest tricks in the book but it still always surprises me to learn that people plagiarise because my introduction to the concept was basically being told that if i ever plagiarised anything i would be executed by firing squad and my head would be removed and displayed on a spike outside the walls of the hallowed academic institution i was attending as a warning to others

#🐉 #like they were not fucking around they were like you will be BLACKLISTED we will EXILE you there may be FINANCIAL RESTITUTION OWED #if our plagiarism software detects anything suspicious we will FLAY YOU ALIVE IN THE TOWN SQUARE #i still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes wondering if i cited my sources correctly
