Libraries are generally pretty good for books and audiobooks. Get stuff through libby or hoopla.

There have basically always been automods of varying capabilities and complexity. Without those no sub ever would have enough moderation capability.

You don’t have to leave if you can remodel. Best wishes on your journey to improve.

Eventually we’ll make agi instead of this llm bullshit. Assuming we don’t destroy ourselves first.

Being devil’s advocate here. I like to talk about my kid but I also know other people generally don’t care. You care about your kids its rare for other people, even friends and other parents. So idk whether just not mentioning them or caring about yours matters as to his actual dadness. I would also say that your friend may know he’s free those days for one reason or another. Maybe his wife has unreasonable expectations. The kids are always first but it is possible to make time for your relationship and yourself with some communication and luck. There are also often variations in which parent may be “primary” at times.

I have heard and seen some parenting things done that are well outside what I/we would do. Sleep training at 2mo, a sorta family pacifier (toddler would drop it, dad/mom would put in their mouth then back in toddler mouth), the cry it out method, being super stringent about feeding times and amounts, allowing rolling walkers, letting baby play at 2am, piercing ears, circumcision, etc. These babies are still growing up fine as far as anyone can tell.

Your friend and his wife need to communicate with each other and may be helped by couples therapy. You also need to communicate with your friend, judging him from a 2ndhand account by a person biased by their involvement and your own standards is wild.

Yes, this is likely a hatch act violation. However, as republicans have proven more and more blatantly is they dont care about legality and they don’t get any meaningful consequences from disregarding the law.

You and I know thats true and piracy in some cases is shown to increase sales because people decide its worth money and/or talk about it more. Heck some people pirate things they already own just because they’re too lazy to find the copy they own.

Their (incorrect) logic is that if you were pirating you weren’t purchasing their content anyway.

Don’t need to steal a lot of journals made deals.

People desire to put things where you wouldn’t expect them a lot. I grew up in southeast US and when my grandparents would visit (vegetarian their whole life cause Hindu) would visit it was a nightmare to go out because even things like collard greens would have pork added. Lard is/was a common thing to fry with as well. We all know McDs made fries in beef tallow originally, the switch to vegetable oil in 1990 was nice for them.

Didarul Islam was an NYPD officer not the shooter. The shooter was Shane Tamura a guy from Las Vegas who was a high school running back and had a note asking for his brain to be studied for CTE.

No religious or political reasoning involved as far as we currently know.

It’s colloquial for a reason, convergence, misuse, or whatever I would say most English speakers would not know the logical fallacy. Maybe as something for people who do debate clubs/class but unlikely for others.

“Begging the question” is a logical fallacy wherein “the speaker assumes some premise that has not been demonstrated to be true.”. However, “begs the question” is used more as where something creates a question.

So by the original “because the earth is flat the planet is not rotating.” You assume the earth is flat to justify your point of no rotation. Whereas the common usage “the flat earth theory and other science conspiracies beg the question of why people don’t drop dead by forgetting to breathe.” Flat earth theory created questions about human intelligence.

Scihub if its before the last few years. Otherwise email authors and/or post a link on a science forum asking if anyone has a pdf to share.

Peter Thiel is also gay and one of Trump’s biggest funders.

Yeah, that’s some chiropractic bullshit. With EDS you have a much greater chance of a chiropractor fucking you up and its a neck issue, would be a hard fuck no. There’s been repeated studies showing that chiropractor manipulation of the neck has a greater than acceptable chance of death, paralysis, stroke, and arterial dissections.

Order of operations

1. PT and massage therapy
2. A relevant specialist (you dont mention what issues you actually have) and this may lead to
3. surgical intervention

If its a chiropractic thing then it’s quackery. If not do you mind sharing the machine?

Lemm.ee shutdown there are communities of same name on .world, .ml and vlemmy.net

I mean people do that in comments anyway.

The Webster definition is morally bad or wrong.

What morals a person has can vary and can be contextual as well so there isn’t an easy definition. Asking for that really detracts from the point. Which is more what are your morals and which of those are strongly held and which are weaker.
