I remember reading about this in a textbook back in uni. Might as well have been in the telegraph era

Bet she is the fifth dentist as well

Did they determine it? Like I am pretty sure they didn’t have a vote where people voted “yes please give away all of my personal data to the government”. You know, democracy

I have seen those posters in every remotely urban area I have ever been to in the US.

I did catch Shen Yun show once. I saw some dancing. What I have heard from everyone else is that my session was unusual and it’s usually loaded with politics.

Also I have a friend who holds dual citizenship and she told me the PRC takes pics of Chinese ethnic people who attend the shows and refuses to let them come back to the China, so she has never gone.

It’s such a weird situation.

Your question sounds like a trap but I found a bunch of uses for it.

• Rewriting emails
• Learning quickly how to get popular business software to do stuff
• Wherever I used to use a search engine
• Setup study sessions on a topic I knew very little about. I scan the text. Read it. Give it to the AI/LLM. Discuss the text. Have it quiz me. Then move to the next page.
• Used it at a poorly documented art collection to track down pieces.
• Basically everything I know about baking. If you are curious my posts document the last 7 months or so of my progress.
• Built a software driver (a task I hate) almost completely by giving it the documentation
• Set it up so it can make practice tests for my daughters school work
• Explored a wide range of topics

Now go ahead and point out that I could have done all this myself with just Google, the way we did back in the day. That’s the thing about this stuff. You can always make an argument that some new thing is bad by pointing out it is solving problems that were already solved or solving problems no one cares about. Whenever I get yelled at or hear people complain about opposite things I know that they just want to be angry and they have no argument. It’s just rage full throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

Oppression anywhere is oppression everywhere.

Was your jokes.

Never found any of it funny. You go ahead and make your “jokes” for another 21 years. Maybe someone will laugh at them.

Oh and btw I went to the Iraq protests. Maybe you were afraid but I wasn’t. Maybe that’s why I don’t feel like making “jokes” to feel tough now.

Freedom fries = that thing that was a week long 21 years ago.

If it were a person it could legally drink…but you are welcome to bring it up again for another 21 years as some sorta attempt a a deep conversation killer.

Remember right before the last Italian election some Italian guy screaming at me how no one in the history of Europe was racist or right-wing. When I asked them afterwards about the election he said the CIA caused it.

Ok buddy. Italy has no history of fascism or racism. Nice to know.

“as a European” is a sentence fragment I have read more than any other on the Internet.

Must suck living in a place with 450 million people none of which can think for themselves and instead are just vessels for the thoughts of other civilizations

Own up to your own crap if you want to fix it, or don’t own it and blame foreigners. See if I care.

I don’t know what deregulation of sewage plants would even look like. Do you mean I’m how they are built or their design or their day to day operations or how many of the workers at them are private vs public?

Sure for a week a bunch of people went to restaurants, including me, that week was two years ago. Time to admit that food prices are outpacing salaries.

Everything is a joke to you so no surprise that would be your standard.

God victory is so sweet.

Thanks for admitting you have nothing with a lower carbon footprint today. It was very big of you.

No you aren’t

You don’t even know what you are arguing anymore
