In that case, Hall recalled to The Texas Tribune, her doctor advised her to sneak out of state.

Just saying that is a good way to get her doctor arrested in Texas. That ban ain’t going nowhere if the Supreme Court and Attorney General have anything to say about it. And they do. They have all the say.

The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that corporations are people and money is free speech.

We have become what Benjamin Franklin feared we would become. He could see the future:

“In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no form of government, but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered; and believe further, that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government.”

I don’t even have to think about clicking on that link to know with absolute certainty that Clarence Thomas isn’t under any pressure whatsoever.

Precisely correct. This married woman - who wants more children and is a clear case for an exception - couldn’t be allowed an exception, because the whores need to be made to suffer for their poor choices.

We can’t be muddying the waters with all this “nuance.” The whores are going to pay in the state of Texas, and that will be that.

This right here is bald truth, and I’ll bet you a dollar it’s crossed all of their minds. Except for Thomas. Thomas has a one-track mind and it has no room for anything except its one preferred thought, which is “I will make them all wish they hadn’t talked about that pubic hair” on repeat, ad infinitum.

The only fun part of a Trump dictatorship would be watching him eat the faces of the leopards. Then it would settle into a proper hellscape for the entire world though, so I think we should take a pass.

So any way you slice it, this is not a loss for Republicans, they’re getting precisely what they want here. Unintended consequences? Probably, but they’re too blinded by their belief in their own superiority to be able to imagine any.

So I am curious about this comparison. If this particle had hit you square on the top of your head, rather than the array they built to detect it… would you even know it? Would it kill you? Make you uncomfortable? What?

I see you’ve never been to North Georgia.

I’ve found this to be kind of subjective. Bing/Bard is more current than ChatGPT but yet I just find ChatGPT to be better. It’s snappier and more conversant with context. It seems to understand you when you chide it for not quite doing what you asked it to do, and it responds in kind. I mostly use it for programming to be fair, but even for other stuff, ChatGPT just somehow feels more… real? I can’t quite put my finger on it.

There was a short time where Bing chat was kind of frighteningly real. Took them five seconds to nerf that shit and it’s never been anywhere near the same.

Edit: I expect this answer to be out of date within 3 months. Things keep moving.

I use ChatGPT every day too. Because Google is being such a shit about YouTube I am in the process of moving away from Google altogether. I use DuckDuckGo for search, which indirectly uses Bing. It’s mostly OK. Sometimes I’m forced to try Google, it usually doesn’t help. But for programming, yeah, StackOverflow feels downright regressive now.

I’m honestly kind of surprised about this news, considering how horrible Google’s results are now.
