Outside of fantasy no that is just nonsense

Nobody needs a summer and winter home tax the living shit out of rich fuckers with 2

Its almost 2000

If I could either work for 30k at home or do a 140k job abroad for 80k I would willingly get ripped off and exploited. It doesn't make it less bullshit that we don't offer such talented folks citizenship and a fair wage.

They are literally killing children and babies same as if they were standing there stepping on their little faces and leaving bloody footprints in their wake. No sympathy for child killers.

Property tax funds important things like schools, emergenct services, etc.

if he was destitute otherwise would already have sold it. You are arguing in favor of a tax break for some rich prick probably worth north of 3 million not paying the taxes that pay for your kid to get a decent education because basically feels.

Its no more immoral than you giving up your income.

Comparing property taxes now in 2025 dollars to unadjusted original cost in 1950 dollars is nonsensical. The two numbers bear no relation nor should they.

The average social security check is $1,978 a month or $23,736 per annum. Half of that is $11,868. Lets suppose he lives in CA where the annual rate for owner occupied is 0.74%. His house would be worth approx 1.6 million dollars. To to be clear he is whining about paying the appropriate and legal tax on his fully owned 1.6M cash hoard. This is a great problem to have.

If its that burdensome he can cash out and even with rent payments for the rest of his life live great even if he has no other savings of any sort.

Looks like about $5800 a month gradually increasing with inflation for at least 25 years.

If he has another $400,000 which seems super likely since I don't think he's actually living in his 1.6M house on $12,000 a year it could be more than 7500 a month.

If we add a little realism and only include another 15 years he could probably actually withdraw about 11,000 a month.

You navigate them by finding out where their brain is broken and informing them of what words mean. In the ideal case some of them stop speaking incorrectly.

We aren't computers we are people. We are having this discussion about the computer. The computer given a massive corpus of input is about to discern that the following text and responses are statistically likely to follow one another

foo = bar

foo != bar you lied to me!

yes I lied sorry foo = foo

The computer doesn't "know" foo it has no model of foo or how it relates to bar. it just knows the statistical likelihood of = bar following the token foo vs other possible token. YOU the user introduced the token lie and foo != bar to it and it discerned that it admitting it was a likely response especially if the text foo = bar is only comparatively weakly related.

EG it will end up doubling down vs admitting more so when many responses contained similar sequences eg when its better supported by actual people's thoughts and words. All the smarts and the ability to think, to lie, to have any motivation whatsoever come from the people's words fed into the model. It isn't in any way shape or form intelligent. It can't per se lie, or even hallucinate. It has no thoughts and no intents.

You never have 100% of people using a word the same if only because some portion of the population is stupid and illiterate and you have both drift over time and geography. So say at a given time of a billion people 99.995% believe the definition is A and 0.005% believe B. Periodically people correct people in B and some of them shift back to the overwhelming majority and sometimes new folks drift into B.

It is clearly at that point, 99.995% A, correct to say that the definition of the word is A and anyone who says B is wrong. This doesn't change if B becomes 10% but it might change if B becomes overwhelmingly dominant in which case it becomes correct. There is constantly small drifts mostly by people simply to stupid to find out what words means. Treating most of these as alternative definitions would be in a word inefficient.

Drift also isn't neutral. For instance using lie to mean anything which is wrong actually deprives the language of a common word to even mean that. It impoverishes the language and makes it harder to express ideas. There is every reason to prefer the correct definition that is also overwhelmingly used.

There are also words which belong to a technical nature which are defined not by usage but a particular discipline. A kidney is a kidney and it would be one if 90% of the dumb people said. Likewise a CPU never referred to the entire tower no matter how many AOL users said so.

This is a long way of saying that just because definition follows usage we should let functionally illiterate people say what they want and treat it as alternative facts.

You can't ask it about itself because it has no internal model of self and is just basing any answer on data in its training set

Still not a lie still text that is statistically likely to fellow prior text produced by a model with no thought process that knows nothing

The latter is the actual definition. Some people not knowing what words mean isnt an argument

It can be prevented by people paid 400-1000 per hour spending time either writing own paperwork or paying others to actually write it.

If Catholics, Evangelicals, etc etc etc all don't deserve to be associated with Jesus who does again?

The other groups largely voted with evangelicals to make our country a fascist nation about 60 40. They don't deserve as a group to be considered distinct

This could actually be serious until the second paragraph.

Because this is still supposed to be a nation of laws where we don't murder you for reporting a murderer. A nation where someone can be openly killed and people must live in fear of saying anything would be manifestly unjust and might not be unjust in just the dimention you Imagine

What is agency
