How is that different from referencing digital text that someone copied and pasted from Claude?

This is one of those issues that I will refrain from opining on directly, because I like living in a world where different cultures have different attitudes ways of living. Far be it from me to tell the Japanese how to handle their attitude

For those who are a bit intimidated by the thought of starting running, especially if you are a bit older, you don't need to run hard or fast. Slow jogging (zone 2) results in great cardiovascular improvements. Don't be afraid to

Unions typically fight pretty hard to keep their members from facing professional liability (see police unions), so your comment is a bit at odds with itself. I'm fairly confident that a software engineer's union would not be lobb

Nope. I used to assist a photographer who did shoots for catalogs, and clips were used quite a bit. The same model has to wear dozens of pieces of clothing throughout the shoot, and not everything is going to fit their body well, but the cl

Gossip is a hugely important part of how a community constitutes itself. Without gossip, you don't even have a community. Of course, it can go in malicious and destructive directions as well
