Belt drives are cool I guess, but not for every situation.

The paper explicitly states that they are calling ChatGPT “bullshit” in the Frankfurtian sense and they cite “On Bullshit” as the source for that definition. It’s right there in the introduction.

You’d know this if you had read the paper or even checked whether your statement were true. So either you read it and then lied deliberately, or you didn’t read the paper nor actually care about the truth value of your own statement, rendering your comment itself bullshit in the Frankfurtian sense.

America First, you gotta do the truffle shuffle.

What a savings.

They always wanted Jesus to send them a sign. They didn’t expect it to say “STOP”.

Context tells us they bought two or more.

For the confused, bells peal. Labels peel.

I think the cleanliness of the blade would be less relevant than the massive infection pouring from your pierced guts into the wound.

If it isn’t hard, do it! I sure wouldn’t know how.

when “free water” counted as retail innovation

I think so Tasha, but where are we going to find rubber pants in our size at this time of night?

Like Mario squishing a Goomba.

It depends on where you are. Public consumption laws are local.

I like the idea. If we ever figure out what consciousness actually is, maybe we’ll figure out how it adds up across its components.

There isn’t near the kind of cultural narrative about stepfathers that there is about stepmothers, especially in media for kids. Kids absorb ideas from the fairy tales they see and hear. Stepmoms have to deal with tropes from “Cinderella” to “My Stepmom is An Alien”. Kids will then carry those notions, amorphous and unexamined, into their new relationship. Kids usually don’t have the capacity to recognize those kind of prejudices in themselves. So now the new stepmom has to deal with the kid’s indignance at a fictional character. But aside from the Dursleys in Harry Potter, I’m hard pressed to recall a wicked stepfather.

Then there’s the puritanical thread, and I’m a dude so I don’t even know what else is lurking in our culture that wants to take a piece out of a stepmom for being the second lady in the family.

Not to reduce what a genuinely good dad has to do, step or otherwise. But if a dad manages to use words to explain something calmly, that’s enough to get kudos from strangers on the street. I don’t think the ladies have the benefit of the same uncomplicated expectations, so they need specialized guidance.

What exactly are you looking for in advice? How to deal with the ex and their branch? How to deal with specific behaviors from the kids? You’ll probably do better to search at the level of those topics than the role of stepdad in general.

I’d suggest going for “How to talk so that kids will listen and listen so kids will talk” series. To be a good step-parent, you need to be a good parent.

Nah, the rifling messes up their hair while they move through the barrel, and it’s a pain getting them to hold still while you pack enough powder in them.

Well that’s after the book was mistranslated through version after version.

Utah has an accurate translation that their prophet found by looking into his hat.
