@Nonilex Just curious...What word or phrase have they settled on to convey "white" without using that word?

@possumeveryhour This is a beautiful photo showing Fall foliage in the mountains, and a possum's love of persimmons (I think).

@Nonilex SOMEBODY sure has an honesty issue. Mr. Mullin is an outstanding member of the dishonesty team.

@futurebird Very nice drawing!Isopods may have been the crowning achievement of evolution. After them, it was all downhill. 😉 And I'm glad that the invertebrates, at least, don't seem to be afraid of books.

@futurebird You're right! The highlights and shading, and the texturing by pencil(?) strokes in this drawing are masterful. A beautiful work!

@futurebird Do you need compound eyes to use these things?

@Nonilex Yes, but Mr. Hegseth has a huge tattoo.

@futurebird Thanks for saying "LLMs" , not "AI". Others (like me) shouldn't over-use "AI" , because1. "AI" is a misnomer. It's not an intelligent being we are corresponding with, it's a an algorithm. It's a machine following rules laid down by some invisible person who "ain't payin' no attention" to us.2. "AI" smooshes chatbots and LLM's together with other forms of machine learning. Other ML, but not LLMs, can be good for stuff like training robots for surgery or combat.

@Nonilex Nice photo. Grand mansion. Big money."They ain't all that," said a brown-skinned President with more good sense than the entire Heritage Foundation.

@futurebird Thanks! This is great "infotainment" -- factual video of this 'peppermint stick', coevolution with plant host, ant predation, chemical 'warfare' with ants, ancient tropical forest, etc.

@Nonilex Interesting that this caricature is of a recent vintage. Not pre-Presidential Trump. Looks like the kind of cult commerce that's marketed at Mar-A-Lago.

@Nonilex Children of alcoholics face lifelong psychological consequences.1. Some recognize scars, deal with memories, and become admirable, high-functioning (but obsessive) achievers. 2. Others become drug abusers themselves. 3. Some refuse drugs, but adopt damaged personality harmful to themselves and others (codependency, passive-aggressive behavior, obsessive need to be subservient, compulsive appeasement, etc.)This woman's statements show she's category 3, to a dangerous degree.

@futurebird @WTL Now, why couldn't my parents have decided that I should be a living smoothie truck instead of a dentist?

@Nonilex Never seen a better example of the correlation between (1) the use of "fucking" in every sentence, and (2) intellectual deficiency of an extreme and disabling kind.

@Nonilex Thank you for this thread. It's helpful to learn more about the self-styled "patriots" who carried out the insurrection against America on January 6th. They certainly are not "patriots".

@czarbucks @Nonilex That habit slips up on us, especially when we have good reasons to be full of rage. But I think we have to try to avoid overuse of "fucking" or any other pejorative word, because there's risk that a habit of speech can gradually become a habit of thinking. At least, that's my experience. Would you agree? I'm not against the word, just saying we shouldn't let it dominate what we say. If it's over-used to an extreme, there may not be much real thinking going on.

@Nonilex Maybe he won't send troops to attack 'em yet, but he surely doesn't have any qualms about attacking NATO economically, does he?

@Nonilex Let's put Ilhan Omar's wealth in context. Marjorie Taylor Greene went from $700,000 to $21,000,000+ very quickly, thanks to the wonders of Congressional Insider Trading. (She and Omar aren't especially bad; among about 535 examples. ) Anyone who can work with pals to change regulations, moving prices of some stocks up or down, and who is allowed to buy/ sell individual stocks at will, is likely to get rich quick. We have to ban stock trading by Congress people.

@Nonilex The magnificent Arc de Tyran, bigger than that little French thing, of course.
