If they said "these fortunes are real and will come true" they would be liable for fraud.

Microsoft's argument that they are not liable must include the idea that their Copilot AI is not expected to deliver true statements in its summaries. That's clearly not what the purpose of the summary is.

So far, this has basically equal upvotes and downvotes. Let's keep it perfectly balanced.

Doughnut? What's a doughnut?

Oh look! It's raining again.

My Gen Z friend, you can just say the quote:

"Please clap"

That doesn't matter if minimum wage goes up. Like you said, a person can only eat so much. Rising prices are not a problem if wages (especially minimum wage) increase faster than inflation.

You made the comparison between one person and a million. I quote:

We remember Eisenhower, not the millions who died

rich white Wholefoods shoppers won’t complain about the price of strawberries.

Do you think middle class and working class people don't shop at Whole Foods?

Do you think non-white people don't shop there either?

Do you think they don't already complain about fruit costs?

Do you think they have nowhere else to shop? Farmer's markets?

Most of what you said is 100% correct, but Whole Foods doesn't grow any strawberries. They are bad for other reasons, but supposedly a nice place to work. Figure out who you're mad at and compose yourself. (Hint: minimum wage increase)

We do remember those people... there's a huge WWII memorial in DC and memorials around the country. The Korean War has a great memorial in DC too, great statues.

Dwight Eisenhower apparently has a small memorial as well. I had to look it up to find it. The first review says:

We just happened to find this memorial while waiting for our timed entry into the Air and Space Museum.

So, who is remembered more?

If you want a society where premeditated extralegal violence is "good", you can always go to Pakistan. That's exactly what people who perform "honor killings" believe.

The developed world got rid of that when duels went out of fashion. The problem with killing someone to solve a problem is that it creates more problems. The person who died has friends, family, children, etc. who will not think your actions are justified. They will come for you and your family.

She can deserve both compensation for suffering and punishment for taking her own action. This is premeditated and she didn't need to be there, but his actions clearly contributed negatively to her mental state.

Like I said, I'm not an expert but I think big drones that can take down a bridge aren't piloted by two dudes in a bush.

Ok then, fighter-bombers or more artillery. If the bridge is in range of Ukrainian drones, then the drone base station is in range of counter fire.

Plus, as soon as the cars can drive themselves people will stop needing Uber in many cases.

No parking? Just tell your car to go park on a street 10 blocks away.

Drunk? Car drives itself while you sleep.

Going to the airport? Car drops you off and returns home. Car also picks you up when you are back.

This is combined with the fact that people will do more disgusting things in an Uber without the driver there. If you have ever driven for Uber, you know that 10% of people are trying to eat or drink in the car. They are going to spill and it's going to end up like the back of a bus.

Well I'm not an expert, but it's possible to use cruise missiles and long range bombers to provide cover for the few days it might take to evacuate. Maybe they are busy blowing up apartment buildings and hospitals though.

Ukrainian forces were "striking pontoon bridges and engineering equipment in the western part of their operational zone

These engineers have a shit job if the military is forcing them to work under fire. Usually you try to defend the less armed part of the military (medics, command, engineers, supply) because that's what really powers the organization. If you can't defend your weak spots, you are going to lose.

They were not that close, they just drove in from Belarus and dropped some paratroopers with no support. That's a good strategy for losing your best troops.

They also didn't use a few days of bombing to soften up the targets. Ukraine was surprised but all of their equipment was intact. That's like number one in any attack plan.

They basically underestimated the Ukrainians and thought they would just run away. Those paratroopers were very good but they are only scary to local police, not to a trained military. Without heavy support, they were sitting ducks at the airport.

Still in St. Petersburg where they always were, hoping Vova doesn't send them to a border checkpoint.

I'm not sure I buy the pricing-people-out angle either tbh, we have a pretty rich market of MVNOs who act as an anchor on the MNO pricing, and it would look like anti-competitive market collision if suddenly the operating costs for these companies went up after a merger.

Do you think that would change anything? After the merger it's hard to walk it back. People would scream about "losing jobs" or something.

The point of a merger is to make more money, both through improved pricing power and through lower costs.

So you are against the Russian military invading Ukraine in 2014? And again in 2022? And Syria in 2015? And Georgia in 2008?

Russia can end the fighting just by leaving Ukrainian territory. You are "against war", so why not advocate for that?

Edit: just ignore this guy. His posts are mostly downvoted.

Yeah, it doesn't matter for her.
