  • Do you think that this year, to save you from tears, you'll give it to someone special?

  • Hello from 3 months ago. What does this Brazilian dude have to do with anything Nepalese. And what is his name? You don't even mention it

  • That's just not true though. Most of the year in the northern hemisphere, roads angled to the southwest are much worse than roads heading dead west during sunset.

  • There genuinely isn't a grid design that would prevent this scenario at some point in the year

  • If they really need to center China on the map, there are better ways to do so

  • In December 1941, following the United States' entry into World War II, Congress approved a proclamation designating the federal Thanksgiving Day holiday as the fourth Thursday in November starting in 1942. (Before this declaration, the term "Thanksgiving Day" had only appeared in presidential proclamations during Calvin Coolidge's first term, among his six proclamations.)

    The majority of states immediately changed their laws to coincide with the nationally observed date. The first year following the joint resolution with five Thursdays in November was 1944, and Thanksgiving was observed on the 23rd of the month except in the states of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Also in 1945, 1950, 1951, and 1956, November had five Thursdays. Texas was the last state to change its law, observing the last Thursday of Thanksgiving for the final time in 1956.

  • You might recall that in 1939 the US was still trying to climb out of the Great Depression

  • Good question. How many upvotes does it have on your end?

  • I see the same, top all time post with 8112 upvotes

  • Clickbate may be a totally different thing than clickbait

  • In a shocking turn of events, tech titan Elon Musk and philanthropic powerhouse MacKenzie Scott have engaged in a heated Twitter feud that has left the internet buzzing.

    This sentence is literally a lie. Musk posted a single derogatory tweet about her and then deleted it, and she said absolutely nothing in response. What a bullshit article

  • Amazing song

  • A couple things come to mind:

    Your wife coming into your marriage with an expectation that you change is not fair to you, nor is it your fault.

    Also, you're being really, really negative on yourself. You should be celebrating the progress you've made, but instead you're stuck on "it's not enough." I know this is a hard time, but you can also view this as an opportunity. You have a lot of life left to live, and with the new skills you're learning, you can live it to the fullest.

  • From Wikipedia:

    In 2018, Witkoff opposed sanctions against Russia for its occupation of Crimea.

    Witkoff has praised Russian president Putin and has appeared to support Russian government claims about its war against Ukraine. He said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was "not necessarily" started by Russia, that NATO had a significant role in provoking the conflict, and that most Eastern Ukrainians want to live under Russian rule.

  • I'm going to go out on a limb and say none of those clearly printed suggestions were written on that extremely course wooden telephone pole

  • George Lucas's first movie. It's pretty remarkable. They also keep everyone perpetually drugged up, strip everyone of their identities, and prohibit sexual relationships. The police robots will stop chasing you when it stops being cost effective, though

  • THX 1138. The police robots force us to build them and beat us if we don't. We have no idea who controls them.

  • Distillation:

    Let me tell you why the Trojan horse worked. It is because students do not know what they do not know. My hidden text asked them to write the paper “from a Marxist perspective”. Since the events in the book had little to do with the later development of Marxism, I thought the resulting essay might raise a red flag with students, but it didn’t.

    I had at least eight students come to my office to make their case against the allegations, but not a single one of them could explain to me what Marxism is, how it worked as an analytical lens or how it even made its way into their papers they claimed to have written. The most shocking part was that apparently, when ChatGPT read the prompt, it even directly asked if it should include Marxism, and they all said yes. As one student said to me, “I thought it sounded smart.”

    I decided to not punish them. All I know how to do is teach, so that’s what I did. I assigned a wonderful essay by Cal Poly professor Patrick Lin that he addressed to his class on the benefits and detriments of AI use. I attached instructions that asked them to read it and reflect. These instructions also had a Trojan horse.

    Thirty-six of my AI students completed it. One of them used AI, and the other 12 have been slowly dropping the class. Ultimately, 35 out of 47 isn’t too bad. The responses to the assignment were generally good, and some were deeply reflective.

    But a handful said something I found quite sad: “I just wanted to write the best essay I could.” Those students in question, who at least tried to provide some of their own thoughts before mixing them with the generated result, had already written the best essay they could. And I guess that’s why I hate AI in the classroom as much as I do.

    Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a saviour. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead.

  • Search engine algorithms drove people to write stories before recipes, unfortunately. Pages that just had recipes were deprioritized
