Despite having watched Nickelodeon in the 90s I haven't heard of a bunch of these. You sure these were Nick shows? Also where are the ACTUAL GOAT candidates?

I remember Caitlin's Way being decent, though it's been 20+ years since I've last seen it.

Most of these shows are from the early 90s or 80s.

I only have 2 first cousins. 2 of my 3 aunts/uncles never had kids.

My family is really small in general. Both of my father's parents were only children.

It has also been common going back several generations for people to not marry or have kids.

I grew up next door to my cousins though. We were really close growing up but have little to do with each other as adults.

Ehh, not really. We don't really have much information at all about Smeagol pre-ring, other than a loose connection to Riverfolk hobbits. The most we can really say is that he was greedy enough for the ring to latch onto him pretty quick.

Smeagol isn't really meant to be seen as "intrinsically bad." Again, he's a victim of the ring. He's supposed to directly parallel Frodo/Bilbo, showing what they would be if they gave into their worst impulses instead of their best.


I thought there were some bits about him sneaking around, being fascinated with secrets, and trying to suss them out. Like some sort of innuendo he liked to find out the secrets of others. Maybe that happened after he got the ring or am I imagining it all? I could be.

Gollum also does lots of pretty nasty things not shown in the film.

Personally I dont think he does. He never really changes. Did he deserve what happened to him, probably not. But he is never anything but corrupted. He never learns any real lessons or grows or changes.

Maybe someone remembers better than me, but even his Smeagol side pre ring isn't characterized as a particularly good person. He seemed to be into subterfuge and sneaking about all along. The ring only brought out and amplified those tendencies more.

Pecan

My yard growing up had an ancient and dying American chestnut tree and a pecan tree in it. The pecan tree was giant but didn't fruit often. We were too far north and it was too cold. The chestnut tree put out nuts. They tasted really good but were a chore to open.

Our poor blight infested chestnut died finally during a huge snow storm. The main trunk split in half under the weight.

However this is why those two nuts are my favorite.

The issue as I see it is whether or not the tool is sanctioned and widely available to the students in the course. If the use of the tool is unsanctioned, and against the course policies, it provides an advantage to those using it versus those that did not. This is entirely different than the alternative where its use is permitted and students can freely choose to use it as they fit.

tl;dr

It is straight up cheating in the former case. This is a significant offense within academia and harms not just the cheater but those that did not. Depending on the severity, punishment is warranted from a zero to expulsion or degree revocation.

I'm not here to debate the merits of the AI use in college, but it is certainly cheating if its usage was not permitted.
