That fucker never works! Sometimes I conclude it’s malware but usually I just try and try and try. UI is messed up. Fingers don’t do what I want. Screen is broken. Drives me mad!

It was really good! Very popular all around and now a staple condiment in the family.

You’ve inspired me and it’s now cooling down in the fridge. I’m very curious.

Absolutely. There are limits and gray zones in everything. But sometimes you just have lying demagoges on one side and reasonable (but far from perfect and oftentimes really shitty) people on the other side. I wish more people could tell the difference.

There is a difference between spin and lies. Truth and false. Garbage and near-garbage.

Exactly. Which is why a despot is not wanted. Much better with a small revolution every now and again; i.e., an election.

At least it would help if you didn’t oscillate between the two. Less evil, more evil, less evil, more evil. Pick less evil each time!

And when they are no longer wise?

Despot means you have absolute power. It doesn’t mean you use it badly. It just means you have the potential to.

Sometimes. And when they dont, there is no one to stop them. It’s the age old problem of a wise despot. Just dressed in different clothes.

Me: Please let me know how many homeless people each church would need to host to help all the homeless people

ChatGPT: Each church in the United States would need to host approximately 1.87 homeless people to accommodate all the homeless individuals in the country.

That is truly absurd!

If true, I wish I could give you more than my sad one up-vote.

So… YouTube Premium.

Used to be true. See countries affecting populations in foreign countries. Propaganda is not local.

That being the point of the quote…

“turgid prose”. Way to keep a similar tone.

It refers to the part that makes it into Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. Even stretching it, it supplies Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. The possessive form does not indicate control over all or part of the supply.

My water supply comes from the county. Your air supply comes from, well… the air, or the Earth.

If Europe still was the colonial power it once was, you might have a point. Not a semantic one but a “bad choice of word”-one. But it’s not and so you don’t.

Ditto!

Finally someone that commented with a keyword I could search for in my settings (Samsung). Thank you!

Upvoted because “ddged”. Wonderful. 😊
