What would a better life look like for you, and how might AI possibly help make that happen? AI is just a tool. How are you putting the tool to use?

I can only hope they don't screw up ES 6, the way Bioware/EA screwed up with the Dragon Age franchise. Inquisition was a masterpiece. Veilguard, not at all.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. At least until the enemy is taken care of. WWII, Stalin, and all that kinda stuff. Now it's MTG, etc.

I think most of us have been pretty sure of that for a while. The question is whether it will make any difference.
Is there a single Republican that would call for his resignation/impeachment if it was undeniably proved true?

Maybe it's time they did lose their minds. After this is all over, it can no longer be "business as usual."

Basically, they just want unhealthy people who cost the system a lot of money to die. Call it what it is: social darwinism.

"willing to brief members" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. More like bribe and threaten members of Congress to withdraw their names from releasing the files. Next few days behind the scenes are going to likely be pretty thugish.

Of course we'll never know, but I wonder how much carrot (bribes) and how much stick (threats) Trump will use to get Boebert to change her mind.
I'm predicting she will change her mind. And probably some other congress people too.

Someday, this country (and the world) is going to have to get over its infatuation with extreme wealth and realize it is a kind of disease.
