I just wish we would consolidate on 5 letter words ending with EL and LE as to what the order should be.

Why is it "table" and "label"? They're basically the same word minus the first letter, but the spellings are different. I hate it.

I mean, it kinda just looks like boiled chicken, so it's probably fine? Probably not tasty, but not raw by a long shot.

100 acres is less than a sixth of a square mile, and Bessemer City doesn't use a ton of electricity, being as rural as it is.

The endangered species is more concerning, but feels solvable if they use environmentally conscious design practices with regards to the waterway.

Idk, I think that new data centers are something of a "necessary evil" in our modern society, and they have to be built somewhere.

It really really isn't.

One county in a deep red part of New York had 0 votes for Kamala. That same county had 0 votes for Biden last election. In a state that Kamala won.

This has very, "how come there were 30 points swings in the polls in under an hour" energy that MAGA had when mail-in ballots got processed in Pennsylvania and Arizona in 2020.

But this doesn't even pass the smell test. Even if it was fraud, why? They just decided to do it in a suspicious way in a state they were never gonna win in the first place? What's the end game? Why make it zero votes at all? Why do it in New York?

Depends on how you define AI to some degree, but yeah. Protein folding has basically been solved in the past few years with neural-network based AI systems.

I think you're thinking too short term.

If they went for 15yrs before they Extinguish, and they're able to capture 99% of the newcomers to the space, a lot of the current users will have moved on for various other reasons. So the expectation that things would reset to how they are now is false.

Many, if not most, of the people who are here now likely won't be in 15+ years just due to generalized attrition.

While I don't disagree that this point is almost exclusively made by trolls, the way you've phrased this implies you think they're correct in pointing out that it's a contradiction to no support trans-racial people.

Trans-racial people clearly exist to some small degree (Rachel Dolozov being the famous example). Should people be defending her choice to identify as black, since race is just a social construct?

Woah, that's nuts. I feel like most missiles don't reach target in Israel. Maybe that's cause most are aimed at Jerusalem and the Iron Dome though?

I mean, "matter"? I guess it doesn't.

But you were saying things would have been different if they hadn't all voted for Trump. I was just pointing out that they probably didn't for the most part.

What percentage of these people do you think voted for Trump in the first place?

Nah, I read Mrs Frisby. They mostly just go chill on a farm when you make genetic super intelligent rats.

This is satire.

This kinda reads like a Q post.

Baldurs Gate 3?

Sure, I agree that it's a stupid idea from an effort vs reward perspective. It's at best unnecessary.

But your initial position was that it couldn't be done without being easy to prove that it was a fabrication, and I think you're wrong about that.

I think that they are more than capable of doing it in such a way that it's wholly word-vs-word, with no forensic evidence pointing to it being doctored. And the idea that they would do that is outlandish enough that most reasonable people would assume the post was legitimate and that the "offender" was lying about it to try and deflect blame.

It's the classic, "No, I didn't post that list of porn search terms to my Twitter! I was hacked!! Totally somebody hacked me and did that. Wasn't me at all!!” But in this case it'd be something that was a pretext for the government to arrest them.

Sure, but then it's a question of narrative not proof, right?

Because the response from X would just be, "we aren't sure why Mr so-and-so didn't/couldn't immediately delete the post, but we froze it in short order because we believe the fact he would post such a thing is a matter of public interest, and we refuse to let him sweep it under the rug."

Yeah, he could say that he posted something completely different and X changed it, but how do you prove it? Everyone would just assume it to be a lie trying to cover their ass after posting something terrible.

Not saying this is at all likely. Just that it's possible.

And this assumes they notice it was doctored immediately anyway. Most people don't verify that the post is correct after hitting "submit." A good 90+% of people would probably never notice if the text was changed post upload.

You could just replace the text of a post as it gets submitted. Keep all metadata otherwise unchanged. Lock the account from being able to make edits.

That's fair. I think my issue was over the word "meal," though a quick Google shows you're right

Maybe this is regional or something, but that really feels like 2 syllables to me. I pronounce it "mee-uhl," not "miel."

But that could just be accent or whatever.

I feel like this is intended to be a haiku, but that middle line is 8 syllables, and that makes me sad. :(
