But Clarence Thomas accepted gifts from people who then argued in front of the Supreme Court without recusing himself without facing any consequences, so is there anything to stop it?

That’s a quote from my comment that you replied to.

If she sows hate speech? Yes.

Prevent hate speech? Yes, desperately

The Guardian reported in 22 on what came out of the investigation.

I would love for this to be false and one nutso nurse, please send me something credible suggesting it’s wrong, if you can. It’s fucking sickening to imagine it’s true, so I’m very happy to change my mind if there’s evidence supporting it.

The US removed organs from people held in immigration detention centers.

I would urge you to look at what your own country is doing in comparison to the worst of what you hear about other countries.

Family story time: my family is full of academically minded people (three of my grandparents worked as Latin teachers), with varying levels of snobbery and reasonableness. One of the first times my dad went to my maternal grandparents house for dinner, someone said “margarine,” pronouncing it with a hard g. My father asked why, and my grandfather explained that there’s no soft g followed by an a in English.

My father accepted this, and looking to change the subject, asked if my grandparents could offer any help analyzing “The Ballad of Reading Gaol.”

That’s needlessly stressful for prisoners. There are societal roles it would apply better to

our strategic interests and the imperative need to maintain the Western order that has allowed us and our allies to flourish

That’s where you lost me. A lot of awful things have allowed us to flourish, but the ends don’t justify the means.

The gay agenda

I think about cultures that have a focus on same sex sexual contact- most people, if they had been born there would probably participate. If they’re born somewhere where it’s forbidden, most people don’t engage in it.

Some people are hardwired about it in either direction, but the majority are more flexible

I’m so excited that you get to learn about vermin supreme

It sounds like they’re talking exclusively from the front of the mouth. I used to talk like that when I was trying to conceal a tongue ring. I wonder why that is?

Linguistics nerd stuff below: American English is spoken from the front of the mouth compared to lots of other languages (not this far forward, but still). I wonder if AI voices speaking Arabic would move Arabic forward by the same amount, all the way to the front, or further back (no human anatomy restrictions on AI voices).

Basically, I wonder if this is a consistent artifact of AI voices or whether AI is just exaggerating unique features of a language.

Edit: I found this, which sounds natural enough that I wouldn’t have thought anything of it (aside from the cuts and the actual things said), had I not been watching out for front of the mouth talk

I am fooled by imageai posts about 80% of the time. I don’t know how to not be, but it just makes me distrustful of everything

Anders loves Maria

I also wouldn’t want her to die from an ectopic pregnancy

It says only one term, so that’ll become a lot less convincing for christians if he wins this year.

Maybe we should let the Houthis figure it out. If the rest of the world does nothing, they, backed by Iran and Russia won’t stop, which is objectively worse for everyone.

I hope this clears up why your idea is completely unrealistic. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

This destroys discourse. I don’t want to deal with your condescension, so I wrote one paragraph instead of several. We could have talked things out, and who knows, you might have convinced me or people reading the comments (or you might have refined your own viewpoint), but instead you got in a zinger.

What reasons? I don’t think it’s impossible, it’s what needs to be done, so we better figure out a way to do it.

Full embargo and then UN peacekeeping forces.
