AI slop image, for this gag?

I mean, it also looks blurry because there are like 15 pixels in that image.

The NY Post is an absolute shitshow of a rag, and its regular readers reflect that.

This is basically the Laundry Files books by Charles Stross.

Where are they going to find someone older than a member of Congress?

Yep, that was a good movie.

There’s no evidence it’s quiltists. That kind of blanket statement has no place in this debate. It could be someone else trying to fleece investors before they cotton on.

This is a joke about Einstein’s form of the Equivalence Principle:

Rule number one: the kids are alright.

Project 2025+4n.

A sign that reflects the eternal truth… You don’t buy beer. You rent it.

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.

when “free water” counted as retail innovation

Every time I hear “What I Like About You” I think of Kongas.

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.

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.

There’s something delightful about the meme not even getting her name right.
