maybe it's the history major in me, and not even getting into plagarism shit.

but the idea of not citing your sources bc it's 'too difficult'(or similar excuse) etc is so wild bc like. you've taken info from the source. so u already have it. it really doesn't take much extra time to put in where you got what. if you're writing a script/essay/etc like a normal person and not plagiarizing, you note that shit(eg usually down to the page u got it from) while writing the script/essay. like this is so basic I feel silly even saying it.

also if I pulled any of this shit at uni I'd be kicked out so fast.

Big Thing. u can get kicked out if its bad enough or repeat it
