Truth. But also weird how so many people miss that light side/dark side is heavily framed as balanced/unbalanced and think that you can find a balance between the two.

Wow "truthful" is doing so much work for them in that second page- implying truthful outputs but in fact just truthfully being the AI outputs before it was tweaked to be less racist and more accurate.

Yeah I don't think it's good for the US to hold itself above the rest of the world any more in this case.
We've seen most of our war criminals from the War on Terror either avoid prosecution or get pardoned, so it's pretty obvious we cannot hold ourselves accountable.

Unmentioned: all the nurses claims against the doctor were rejected, and the nurse was found to have harassed the doctor.

I think I'd see how many others I could spot with the same tattoo and set up a little social club.

Next time the party needs to keep them on board.

I get the impression that next time a big part of the party says 'we need you to do this or we can't vote for you', the response is going to be 'no, and you better fucking vote for us anyways' again.
But I do hope it's different.

Gonna be kinda funny when the "we are invading because we have legitimate security concerns" side realizes that they've been ignoring the European "we've got legitimate security concerns re: your invasion" and gets slapped for it. Maybe Finland and Poland will invade Russia?

Ultimately we are all dead. And revolutions are the epitome of the idea "it's going to get worse before it gets better" with no guarantees on better. There are better ways to reform most of the time.

You are conflating 'being effective' with 'winning'. A lot of damage can be done without any chance of victory.

If the names are released, we'll know they aren't under investigation.

I don't think that "if you destroy the justice system, worse versions spring up spontaneously" and "we should have let the tsars continue to rule" are anything like the same statement.

They kinda have a dilemma then- the only names they said they are going to redact are those under investigation. Which means that if there are Democrats in it, the choice is between making their names public and letting them off, or prosecuting them.

Revolutions, however, are won by armies. And armies are hierarchical. That's what killed the pre-revolutionary dreams of equality in the USSR and China.
This isn't a house. There is no foundation, except warlordism. We need to move forward from where we are.
