i've always been surprised how much like simple programming knitting and weaving and similar crafts are. most of my friends go WTF at my knitting because it's so incongruous with the rest of my interests, until i explain/show them how patte

I'm curious: did you at any point contact Twitter for their blessing (of your 650 accounts for this particular use)? I meant, before they started suspending your accounts? Or even before you created the accounts?

I've had that happen to me before. You'd imagine if that were really the problem that they'd find a more PC way to tell me they don't want a woman on the team so I don't then go on a huge rant about gender discrimination, but some people ha

Very much agreed on all points. Also it should be noted that just doing the nice thing by contacting the business and letting them know you have a problem can be a lot faster and nicer than the whole chargeback process. Like I said, I used

I vividly remember hating dealing with Turnitin way back when I was a freshman in high school, which was like 5-6 years ago. I'm not sure what the point was, since there was way more cheating going on during exams than there was plagiaris
