You can't just shrug off a whole host of threatening and criminal behavior because you sympathize with the cause of the terrorists committing the acts. Antifa has caused a lot of damage to society, which is why they are considered a Do

I reject your (and Wikipedia’s) theory of “remigration” arbitrarily defining something that is (not actually) happening in the US. People are being deported from the US based on their lack of legal presence in the country, which is what eve

I had the same issue with Zepbound (tirzepatide) 10mg/0.5ml when they wanted to push me to Wegovy (semaglutide), even though Zepbound was already working and helping. Zepbound isn't even on their formulary now. I wrote the insuran

Hasn't everything DeepSeek and Alibaba created thus far been distilled from the results of many, many accounts logging into Claude and ChatGPT? And that's why there's so much bot detection now at US frontier labs? Doesn'

It's refreshing to see there actually be positive movement on accountability from the bureaucracy of the US federal government. I work very hard for almost four months every year to earn the money to pay taxes (whether I want to do tha

We used it for several years after our needs outgrew IRC. From the cloud version starting in 2013, we migrated to the hosted version in 2016, and it was a pretty painless migration and not too hard to manage/update. I think it stuck ar

Why would IBM even be permitted to deny this in such an agreement? The CEO is literally on recorded video advocating for discrimination against certain races of people. That’s disgusting.

It’s as if doctors and the whole western medical industry has completely lost the trust of patients. I wonder what could have led to so many people losing their faith in that industry. Could it be the insurance kickbacks they’re now known t
