I didn't when i first hear the term. It just meant "Latin American dictatorship." Took me years before I knew the root of it. But yes, politicians should know better.

Lots of people don't appreciate quality enough to understand why they should pay for it. A friend's small-town advertising business went belly up in the 1990s because why pay her when cousin Bob can put together something supposedly just as good. No excuse for AI slop though.

"She's so ugly she was DESPERATE for sex!" isn't a new take. It is still disgusting. Kelly sides with the leopards even though they already ate her face.

As witness all the "what about his scholarship?" "What about his internship?" cries when college students commit rape. During the Kavanaugh furor, all the arguments about how unfair it was to derail his career for something from years ago would have been the same it if had been ten minutes ago.
