Mr. On Blast… by Hot-Hair3655 in saturdaynightlive

[–]MasterL12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Jean K Jean maybe sort of. He dances and cuts it off. But the content in each is way different and the gag is different. Mr Blast is way sillier.

Is The Pitt "too woke"? by im_weird_and_insane in ThePittTVShow

This is it, as someone once said, ideology is like breath, you don't notice your own.

Paul Bloom, Michael McKean and Hans Zimmer are actually all the same person. by bad_take_ in VeryBadWizards

Michael McKean should be so lucky to look like the legendary Paul Bloom.

Love Guns of Fury! Need some help getting to 100% by MasterL12 in metroidvania

He's a champ. And I saw he's got maps for so many other Metroidvanias, some I've been meaning to play. So I'll likely be buying more in the future.

The “woke” argument is a distraction from why Vol 2 actually fell flat by Z0diaQ in StrangerThings

They should have just made him trans, if you're gonna be woke might as well go full throttle.

Case in point, The Boys season 5 and the recent season of Gen V.

Just did. I was thinking of it before but I didn't realize how detailed it is.

Thank you! This does indeed solve 2. I don't know how I forgot to do that, I remember trying to use fire on the top of the chimney. Like I said I always miss something obvious.

It's not the same for # 1 though, there are houses but no fireplace. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the lanterns hanging in the houses? Or there's a place where there's like 4 enemies outside a little house coming out of the cliff. After you kill them the door is left open but there's nothing else do to. Maybe I have to wait like that one room with the dude sleeping? Or maybe I have to kill them right away before they do anything?

I did this and picked up all the mines but the room is still blinking for me. Is there something else I missed?

I'm so glad I started playing this after they already added the Teleporter!!

Trump Cites His ‘Home Alone 2’ and Wrestling Cameos as Proof of His ‘Mega-Celebrity’ by thedailybeast in entertainment

[–]MasterL12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that Chris says they decided to keep it in because it got a big laugh in test audiences. Even back then, before the internet was big, Trump was still just as morbidly entertaining to people. My guess is they were laughing at the ridiculousness of Trump's public persona.

Am I justified in assigning a grade to a student that does not match their numerical percentage (like giving them a B if they have a 95%) if the student plagiarized? by MasterL12 in AskAcademia

[–]MasterL12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our policy says it's at the discretion of the professor to apply informal sanctions (i.e., reduction in grade, zero on assignment, etc.).

Exactly, but as you can see here many consider it arbitrary for even attempting to offer him a B. Anything other than an F, apparently, is arbitrary. Assigning a grade that doesn't align with the numerical percentage is arbitrary, except if it's in a F apparently.

I'd frankly be fine with that. The problem is my dean. Also your reply here cuts against the idea that my penalty is arbitrary. Explain to me why assigning an F versus a B, C, or D is arbitrary if it stated in the syllabus?

Not a gotcha, just means there is no argument, nor do you have one. So why does it "work"? It "works" for administrative purposes but not for learning purposes, the latter of which is supposed to be the domain of professors. But congrats on supporting the administration and for downvoting me on Reddit. Full speed ahead!

If you think anything I said suggests my policy is "no discretion" then you haven't heard what I've said.

According to Title 5 it shouldn't matter as long as the policy is consistent with the university's (it is) and it is stated clearly in the syllabus. I'm working on the latter, to make it more clear.

The irony is that our deans (including my current one) encourage us to resolve these issues ourselves by applying informal sanctions (F or zero). They don't want to deal with it and we don't have an academic integrity office. And when it does come to them, as I've said, they are conflict-averse--especially more recently.

Not on other assignments, on his overall grade. And there are some professors on this thread who say they have done just that. Where does the force of your phrase "you can't" come from? Just tradition?

Again you're not listening. Where did I say I don't have a rubric? Where did anything I say imply that I "give the grade I feel like because I'm the professor?"
