You ever stand behind a couple of geezers in line somewhere and they start talking about some random stuff? They didn’t know each other. They were just bored.

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

If you keep pickin’ that scab it ain’t gonna heal right.

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.

I can’t tell you what dude was trying to say, on account of not being a mind reader.

But each of them were jailed for acts against the states that imprisoned them (one espionage, one enemy combatant). That is the relevant point of comparability: treatment of a foreign enemy.

The pictures show the contrast in how those states treat their prisoners. One leaves their prisoner healthy, and the other leaves theirs starved.

The point couldn’t be clearer.

America First, you gotta do the truffle shuffle.

You sound like a guy who knows which part of a warplane to reinforce.

My my my.

What a savings.

I love that your concern is the integrity of the brownies, not the sourcing of the blood.

Like Mario squishing a Goomba.

So the last time was chloroplasts, right? And that worked out super well for all the other organisms and didn’t do anything catastrophic to the atmosphere, right?

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

Named after a man who went on to chair ANSI and be president of ISO. That’s a dude all about measuring things.

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.

Over surprised guy.

That’s not the ZF1. It’s a hoagie.
