It depends on the usage.

If the user is reading the response and then thinking about it and adapting the suggestions to their own style of speaking, maybe they’ll learn something over time. Studies have shown that students who use LLMs as a tutor do improve their understanding of material.

If they’re copy/pasting like most of the world, then there’s evidence to suggest that they’ll actually get worse at the thing they’re offloading to the LLM.

Typically, one expects a “bar” to have beer and liquor and the ability to make at least basic mixed drinks (rum and Coke, gin and tonic, etc.).

A “beer bar” usually has a wider variety of beers on draft and no liquor or mixed drinks.

I read it as referring to immaturity rather than literal body shaming. Like, the post is telling a girl it’s okay to hook up with a teenage boy from her high school who just got his first car. She doesn’t have to “save herself” for marriage or even some idealized perfect man later in life.

I grew up in the Assemblies of God, so I was on the receiving end of a lot of purity culture messaging. There was more than a reasonable amount of discussion of how “God has chosen your perfect husband and you have to wait for him.”

I’m definitely not on board with the body shaming if that’s how it was intended. I just see that there’s more than one way to interpret that particular phrase. I choose to go with the more figurative version, which apparently puts me in the minority.

I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope you have more supportive people in your life now.

Teacher here.

For the littles, when we reflect on our day, I like to ask things like these:

• What was your favorite part of the day?
• What was the most interesting thing that you learned today?
• What was one kind thing that you did for someone today?
• What was a kind thing someone else did for you today?
• Did you solve any problems today?
• How were you honest today?
• How were you responsible today?
• What work were you proud of today?

Obviously not all on the same day.

Usually in the classroom I’ll choose one question for reflection at the end of the day and let the kids share their answers. At home, you could talk about two or three at dinner or at bedtime.

Just a few

The bonuses are doled out over 5 years in $10,000 increments. Student loan forgiveness (who are we kidding… these guys didn’t go to Yale) is similarly spread out. Both are at the discretion of supervisors.

Basically, these imZmoral blobs are going to get screwed and I’m fine with that. https://bsky.app/profile/zuzuspetalsmi.bsky.social/post/3m3o62kdems2r

Oh don’t worry they put a bunch of restrictions on those bonuses too, they’re not going to get them. It’s all just BS for recruiting.

I suspect that the signing bonus has a giant asterisk next to it and most of them are never actually going to see it.

And the direct reply

It literally has an asterisk next to it on the recruiting website.

To all ICE agents. He will be gone one day and you won’t have Noem’s skirts to hide behind. We are not going to forget and are going to demand Nuremburg style trials for you. Oh and that 50k signing bonus? Never going to see it

Even though humans are the only animal that could meaningfully consent to being eaten. It’s an interesting (if uncomfortable) moral quandary.

I wonder at what point those people finally turn on him. Usually, failure to pay a group results in mutiny of some kind.

Maybe they are so brainwashed that they believe whatever their superiors are saying to gaslight them about failing the probationary period.

Or maybe DHS was smart enough to hire a bunch of people who didn’t meet the criteria just so they could “finalize the background check” and fire them right when it was convenient.

It’s not a secret third thing.

As soon as we heard that the signing bonus was related to a probationary period, everyone who knows anything about how Trump does business said, “Nobody is getting that bonus.”

It’s extra shitty if they paid it out up front and now the employees have to pay it back, but none of this comes as a surprise.

Hello, fellow A/G kid. My church didn’t have shofars – that actually sounds a lot cooler than just announcing that the spirit is moving.

I think you’re right about evangelical support for Israel. They think they’re hastening the End Times.

I’m so glad I got out of that entire scene. The rest of my youth group cohort are still faithful members, decades later.

Billie Holiday started offending parts of her audience by singing “Strange Fruit” in 1939.

And, ideally, when the City of Fargo has to eat the cost (because the contract with the tech company likely specifies that a facial recognition match is not sufficient grounds for arrest), it and every other municipality using similar tech will change its policing practices.

But probably the city will just quietly take responsibility for the damages after a session of contractually required private mediation, and nobody will learn a lesson.

Even just a couple of commas would help.

If it came from the old world as “Knicky Knocky,” it would make sense* that the racist US version would sound similar to that.

/* As much as any racist shit “makes sense,” of course.

Self-defense-type killings involving “castle doctrine” or “stand your ground” laws are probably also considered lawful.

Because in order for their belief system to be passed down though generations, they had to make suicide a sin. Otherwise they would actually kill themselves to get to Heaven more quickly.

I have known Evangelicals who refused medical treatment because they were “ready to be with Jesus.”

A lot of the rural Trump voters I know had made being uneducated a key pillar of their personal identity even before 2015. Those are the people who think he’s a charismatic speaker.

The urban and suburban ones held their noses and voted for him because “at least he’s not a Godless Democrat.” They don’t listen to what he says, but they vote for him anyway.

That is likely true. I can’t imagine him calling anyone else “sir” or “Mr. President.”
