No disagreement! I’ve lived around the world and am just reporting what I’ve experienced. I personally stopped saying it while I lived abroad but once I returned, it felt almost unavoidable. “North American? What, like Canadian?” I’m tired boss.

In my experience those from South America consider the use of “americans” to describe those from the US as just another example of arrogance/exceptionalism and would prefer we’d use “north american”, but saying that to people you’re trying to reach in the states will get you at best puzzled looks.

Signal is fine, use it. Just not for security conversations, anything that if repeated in court convicts you of (anything serious) is a thing NOT to put on Signal. Signal is for setting up WHEN a meet will happen or WHERE and not both. Have a set time and only discuss PLACE or vice versa.

Hahahaha "disappointing" is an generous description of their teaching/knowledge. Her takes on AI reminded me of the way elderly Americans consume media and immediately accept it as dogma. No thoughts of system analysis or inequality, just "I am told this by a source I trust so it must be true".

I had a professor in my LLB program who wanted so badly for alternative dispute resolution to be entirely mediated by AI. She was largely incapable of using the most basic technology. I am convinced the motivation is not legal accessibility, but personal fear of being left behind.

I would also recommend checking out Garry Mackinnon (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Mc...), who in the early 00's broke into US military networks searching for proof of NHI existence. He found what he was looking for.

One great place to start is declassified CIA documentation about the Gateway Technique, the Soviet troop incident (www.cia.gov/readingroom/...), and interviews with Dr. Garry Nolan (www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpJe...)
