…on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.
He’s exploiting exactly the same weakness that llms exploit to appear so smart: he just sounds confident all the time, and since people use confidence as a shortcut to evaluate accuracy, anyone who isn’t paying attention to the actual substance is going to just nod and smile at the confidence and assume everything is perfect.
Well that’s the sort of thing that might end up with you getting a rod in your knee
Lol, you did good, but got tripped up by reading “Scheißposts” as a verb. It’s capitalized, so it’s a noun. The “make” at the end gets folded into the “kannst” - or “can” - so it’s “Then you can make shitposts in two languages.”
Go Phils! Didn’t see the game, but happy news to get
Honestly, the most surprising and exciting moment was seeing the dog being pet in Daemon X Machina 2. Not being able to do that was torture in the first game
Lol, right? I can’t even imagine the PDF in my mind, much less rotate it
Thank god I at least can rotate it using a computer or I’d be stuck
We had some that grew right under the faucet outside, and I’d share grab some and throw it in the tea when we were making iced tea. Tried it years later with dried leaves, it didn’t compare.
I usually point out that the Olympics have allowed trans contenders since 2004, and if it was the cheat code it’s asserted to be, the entire Chinese and Russian teams would be trans people. That usually gets people thinking “huh, maybe this is some bull”
Definitely, but I actually just use the spatula to scramble - so no bowl to clean and no fork either! The bottoms of the eggs grab the pan as they cook, so it doesn’t really require much whipping power to get 'em good and scrambled. 100% recommend
The other thing I learned from shouty chef: the salt goes in at the end, when they’re almost done. They’re much creamier that way, you don’t get the ‘egg water’ separating from the eggs
Started doing that a year or two ago when I saw a video with that chef who gets real mad about everything where he lazy scrambled, and I was like, huh, you know what? Why the hell am I wasting a whole bowl that I have to clean?
Got off the couch and actually voyaged through the house to my bed for once, where I shall sleep FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE
If he suddenly really wants to do his laundry one morning, don’t ask questions. (Wet dreams and embarassment being the context here.)
That’s about all I can think of that’s gendered, really.
I was ~9 when I got the talk from my Dad, and it was basic stuff about just the mechanics. It set things up so that, around 13, I went to him with questions about how I was feeling re: puberty. So even now it’ll be helpful to do the talk and show that you’re available as a resource.
In your case, your son likely has some idea from internet pornography and whatever he got in school, but it would still be helpful to go through the basics with him. I’d frame it as “I’m sure you know most of this, but i just want to make sure you know what’s important.” It might also be helpful to make clear that pornography is as much acting as TV is - don’t set his expectations on it, it’s people faking things for money.
Going over the importance of condom use also helpful at his age. Keep in mind, it’s not necessarily about what he’s going to use right away, but making sure he knows when he does need to know.
Then, I’d just be there for him and ask if he has any questions, and answer them frankly. Tell him he can come back later if he’s unsure.
It’s awkward and tough I’m sure, but it’ll be a help not just now, but going forward. Good luck!
I have a friend who, years later, still brings up when I said “K as In Cat.” That poor customer
Back when I mained Lulu in League oh say roughly a decade ago, they were fun to play because their shield could also be used as an attack that set you up for an easy slow. Paired with the right teammate, that combo did in many an enemy AC. I also enjoyed getting a bunch of items with cooldowns that did things like speed us up for chases or add temporary shields, and an ult that - used right - temporarily interrupted and stunned the enemy in addition to adding some health.
Those kinds of dynamics, where you’re buffing your team at the right time to secure kills in addition to healing them, made being designated support my preferred role.
Auf Deutsch heißt es nicht “MRT”, sondern auch “MRI”, ja? Ich spreche Englisch und Ich habe keine Ahnung. Entschuldigung wenn das dir Witz ist
Aggressively seconding this. If you can just do a step in a bash command, do that, don’t use the stupid yaml wrapper they provide that actually just turns around and runs the same bash command but with extra abstraction to learn, break, fix, and maintain for stupid, meaningless upgrades. It will save you time because you’ll be using better-tested, more widely-used tools and approaches.
Oh jeeze, that’s been around as a plugin in inkscape since at least 2011, I remember vectorizing an episode poster from Adventure Time using it. But I’d believe it wasn’t quite as good as whatever photoshop had. I used the “never learn photoshop” trick to be happy with what I’ve got, but then I only edit images for fun.
