Nice try but your argument is weak and unconvincing. Continually checking would show anxiety, but "continually" is your addition and not in the story....

He litterally surrendered himself to authorities but the shirts say NEVER SURRENDER! :chin: Another incongruity, Trump's arrest record states that he ...

That’s funny because I don’t get that at all. As I mentioned, the internal emotional glimpse we get is basically toughness and externally she’s cool a...

Good point. However the point that I was trying to make is that it doesn't make sense to arrest tape guy. Without the woman the deputy would need to c...

The story offers no real insight into the cops vices or virtues so I'm left with only my basic conception. Being kidnapped is not a crime and accordin...

Like a lot of things in life I guess it's a matter of degrees, though the degree of difference in this case is substantial. A Rorschach inkblot has no...

Apparently the ability to mentally range all over the place isn’t sufficient to make us good stewards, or to even be considered stewards. We seem to b...

My bad. :grimace: Hi again ChatGPT! I have another question to help my simple-minded friend if you please. Can a question be suggestive? ChatGPT Hello...

He was clearly taking a big risk and that has the character of fearlessness and daring. I suppose whether or not it was virtuous is undetermined. He m...

Okay, nevermind then.

Maybe I misread what you were suggesting. You seemed to be suggesting that the lockdowns were designed for the purpose of voter suppression and not fo...

Apparently, the lockdowns were supposed to save lives rather than suppress votes. At least Trump seemed to think so.

I took a few seconds to google it and this is the first thing that came up: Trump Extends Coronavirus Lockdown Until April 30 :chin:

:rofl:

It obviously depends on the change. PLEASE READ WHAT THE AI WROTE FOR YOU.

Hi ChatGPT! Can you explain the difference between a minor change and a fundamental change to my simple-minded friend? ChatGPT Of course, I'd be happy...

If we're talking about the same thing, because of the circumstances involved, namely the pandemic.

Do you not understand that a change may not be a fundamental change?

That doesn't explain how there was a fundamental change. Just more hyperbolic language?

Can you explain how it favored one candidate? Trump voters are too stupid to put something in the mail?

How is it a fundamental change? I've been voting by mail for years. It's claimed that Trump votes by mail.

Well, the hyperbole of "countless" efforts aside, it appears that his efforts were designed to suppress the votes of Democrats.

You mean efforts like this? https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-election-2020-ap-top-news-elections-politics-14a2ceda724623604cc8d8e5ab9890ed

I can't stay mad at her. Look at that punim. https://binaries.irishnews.com/2023/02/01/134020115-7373f40f-0db6-4ffd-9f45-6d7c064738a8.jpg

No, that’s projection. My experience with police is that they’re self-interested lying bullies who always play it safe and it’s a bridge far far too f...

What did she say? Wait, don’t tell me. :broken:

That's your story and I hope it works for you. In my story, it's not about language and communication. We're communicating and understanding each othe...

Guilty. https://designpraxis.biz/img/kate.jpg

Philistine!

If I remember rightly, Kate was big around 1990, in the States anyway. Hounds of Love was her best album. I think her top song was Running Up That Hil...

It might be interesting to watch how they dance around the issue of Trump, desperately trying not to offend the MAGA.

You had me at "real perniciousness festers unfettered in the filth of fanaticism", but that was the end so we'll start at the beginning, with original...

@"Jack Cummins" I'm curious if there's an intended connection between Being and Nothingness and the deodorant.

I was bluffing about the Aussie signs to try moving things along. :razz: I did actually read the story though.

Just slogged through No, Dave... and noticed some Aussie cues so gotta be Janus. The remaining unverified falls into place.

Didn’t realize that I was beating a dead horse. Sorry bout that. :zip:

I curious but couldn’t easily find how the scoring works. How does the “It’s okay” votes figure into the ranking system?

Your cherry-picking doesn’t appear to indicate anything, other than that Switzerland is highest on the Human Freedom Index and Singapore and the Nethe...

I can't bold those countries if they're not listed, obviously. None of them are in the top 6 countries with the highest taxes, for instance. The Ivory...
