TreadOnMe

We literally used to joke about this happening in middle school, Christ.

"Good God I have the same blouse."

"I like it better on him."

I actually love the Denver airport but only for the artistic fans that spin when the trams are running past them.

That said, I do have some nostalgia for the pre-TSA days and it was one of the more comfortable airports because of the lobby space.

I think the key here is to recognize and be aware of what these LLM's are.

For one, they are not 'replacing' critical thinking or the development of critical thinking skills, they are repackaging someone else's critical thinking. The machine cannot think, weigh values, or differentiate truth from falsehood. Only people can do that, and it is only through repeated interaction with solid data sets created by people that it can do that. Part of the reason that it is so good at 'school work' is because most school work is rote memorization, with some abstract thinking analysis thrown in that gets a 90% if it doesn't have any spelling errors and can identify the problem, even if they can't talk about it well. These data sets are perfect for LLMs because the answers already exist (or at least exist to an acceptable degree).

The emphasis needs to be on teaching what these things are to kids, to separate the truth from the hype so they know what they are looking at when they query it.

It is like drugs and sex. Kids with early exposure to education about drugs and sex in controlled environments may be more likely to participate in those activities, but they are less likely to mystify them or participate in a way that causes long term harm to themselves or others. The goal of the educator really needs to be demystifying these things and cutting through the heaps of advertising lies that are being fed to them, to the best of your ability. Get them to know what to expect.

Good luck. They are still excited to means-test social security. The libs are completely lost in the sauce.

Because it still isn't citing work and arguing with other Marxists, comrade.

It is abit frustrating. It seems like every time I engage with a new account, they get banned within the next couple of days. I'm fine with disagreeing with people, what actually annoys me is when they do the old set up a strawman and knock it down bit. I mean, it's amusing insofar as I don't actually have to think of a response since they aren't even able to articulate a coherent response that doesn't completely misrepresent what I have said, but getting rid of them so quickly is also pretty boring.

I never said it was 'on him'. I'm not even mad that he is surface level. Don't put words in my mouth, please.

I said that it was part of a larger critique. Streaming culture is bad for us, politically, as leftists. It is inherently bad because it creates a simulacra of community, without even a hint of theoretical will to power. It is the ultimate liberal simulation of politics without actually being politics. You feel 'politically engaged' without actually engaging with the polity. How can you? The community only exists if you are actively online supporting it, which means you are actively disengaged from the polity. You are engaging with a petite bourgeois capitalist influencer on a capitalist rentier platform. At least recognize it.

As such, even the best part of it, which Hasan absolutely is, is still bad. Therefore, I don't like him, because I don't have to like him.

Incorrect, the reason I don't like him is because of this rod-polishing parasocial relationship people have with him for scraping the literal bare minimum, which isn't unique to him but part of a larger critique of the alienation that is inherent to streamer media.

I mean for Christ's sake, this is the exact same argument as 'You just criticize capitalism and want communism because you are jealous of other's success' level of breadtube argument slop.

Yeah, the answer is that Marty's pizza was larger than Luis's. The teacher doesn't understand the question. It's a logic test (do you understand what fractions actually represent), not a math test (out of 1, which fraction is larger).

Edit: Unless it is supposed to be 'Is this possible?' in which case the answer is 'no', but I as a teacher would throw out the whole question for being too vague.

I really doubted it would be more conservative. Catholic attendance numbers plunged during Benedict, and it was during Francis's tenure that they stabilized. Now I don't personally think correlation is causation, especially for this kind of thing, but the Catholic Church is if anything a reactionary organization, which means that since things seem to be going steady, they are unlikely to make any drastic moves to one side or the other. Let the born-again rightwing Catholics wallow in their faith, it isn't like they are joining the priesthood, since it often requires a sublimation of individuality and focus on community, both of parishioners and priests that is an anathema to the modern right. In the same way though, they also aren't going to cater more towards their radical left-wing, because there is no money there.

I mean they are a part of it, and their abandonment of politics in general is pretty typical of what is going on. I am talking rn specifically about the channel the soy pill and I haven't watched the Cody Showdy for awhile, so I can't confirm, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was bemoaning it.
