Nothing blows my mind more then someone deciding that today theyre going to crawl out of bed and go counter protest people wanting equal rights.

Madison was saying that blacks in the south were enslaved and couldn't vote. They made up a significant portion of the southern states population which put them at a disadvantage giving them poor representation.

Hey now, we don't want an actual democracy now do we? Think of the corporations. With all these broken up powers it's going to get really expensive to bribe them all to subvert the will of the people.

My point exactly. They originated as a open initiative to make AI open and accessible to everyone. Hence their name. Greed made them change their stance and now they are only open in name.

Trolls will be trolls. There are millions of foss projects that function as community efforts and thrive. As another example, have you ever used Wikipedia?

Maybe if OpenAI didn't suddenly decide not to be open when they got in bed with Micro$oft, they could just make it a community effort. I own a copyrighted work that the AI hasn't been feed yet, so I loan it as training and you do the same. They could have made it an open initiative. Missed opportunity from a greedy company. Push the boundaries of technology, and we can all reap the rewards.

Wasn't really all that long ago when non-black people very commonly used that word in public and probably still so in certain communities. Having said that, obese is a medical term and I don't think it compares in anyway to the n-word.

There is no electric vehicle mandate. Trump just made that up.

I think 'complacent' is a better term than 'docile.' The upper class has put significant time and effort into making everyone else believe that their actions won't make any meaningful difference, and it's worked just as planned.

I can't comprehend why there aren't people marching in the streets demanding a constitutional amendment to limit the executive branch and restore checks and balances. The recent Supreme Court decision granting absolute presidential immunity is a direct threat to our democracy. We all need to be more proactive. Government moves so slow if not pushed.

I don't know if this makes it more or less scary but the idea of Perry being able to just pardon anyone isn't actually factual. A Texas governor can refer a pardon, but a board still has to approve it.

As an atheist I can't tell you how many Christians have asked me why I don't just rape and murder people if I don't believe in hell. Tells me everything I need to know about that POS.
