Negro wasn't an offensive word even in the 90s from what I remember. It would have sounded overly formal and a bit outdated but it wasn't a slur. I assume this just comes from Spanish so no more offensive than saying black in Engl

75% of Gen Z doesn't even qualify to join the US military from obesity and drug use. I am pretty sure the military is doing whatever they can do to market to that remaining 25%. Beautiful women doing this I am sure is rather effective

Even better is "Filter feedback the way you filter calories: take only what you need. Take the rest with a grain of salt." It takes a special kind of person to write that and not even look like they workout at all. As a Girard fan

I think in the US at least, travel has an even deeper aspect of ritualized behavior or religiosity in the positive sense of those concepts. A pilgrimage for people who don't believe in anything. Even someone who takes a 20 hour flight

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? LLMs should make us take seriously that the whole idea of consciousness is just superstition and unnecessary. That definition is precisely how people define something that isn't real and
