Reparations. The Democratic Party have always had a pro reparations wing. Where are they now that the actions of America are causing immense harm to people alive now, not long dead people?

Really quite worrying how many Americans don't understand that it's not Donald Trump that betrayed Canada, Ukraine, Europe and all the other former allies. It's America that betrayed them.

I mean there likely will be an electric roadster with impressive acceleration, but it won't fly or grip the road like that thing.

Empathy is based on the ability to imagine how another feels. But software cannot feel. There is no scope for empathy there.

There is a link with animals, but not with software. Not with cars. Not with tools. Not with anything that is not alive, and thus cannot respond to pain.

The counterpoint to your argument is that the tech people who think LLMs are conscious display a staggeringly lack of empathy for anyone negatively affected by the tech industry's products. I don't think there is any significant link between how a individual treats an inanimate object vs a person.

I really do despise Donald Trump. A terrible human being who performs and permits terrible things with the support of the American people.

One Hot Minute is poor, but there's a lot of good stuff in what followed. Other than the lyrics and singing.

Are they too scared to ask? Too frightened of the consequences of acknowledging what is happening? Simply lacking in curiousity?

Has anyone in America asked their president why he's aiding a country that is allied with Iran, and is supplying Iran with the means to kill Americans and destroy American assets?

We should also be realistic about the quality of English wine at a given price point, and I say that as somebody who has bought from the local vineyards. French wine is overpriced here, but it's half as much as English wine for the same quality.

Definitely a sipping stout. Tbh, one bottle of it will be for the Christmas pudding and the alcohol will be steamed out of that.

Absolutely. If it's not French it's not worth buying unless it was brewed in a bucket.

I think the layout is fine. You could have fun with it and the decor can be redone. The price, however, is absurd. You'd struggle to justify a third of the price for what you get.

Local Tesco were selling Nigerian Guinness for £2.40 for 600ml. Absolute bargain and its superior to the Irish version.

She can't eat bacon either. She'll occasionally manage some pork dish. But I reckon if you weren't exposed to certain flavours as a child, you'll never appreciate them as an adult.

If you want cheap langoustine from the Irish Sea, well, go to a carreforre in Normandy or Brittany, it all gets exported there :(

My go to gluten free recipes are all polenta and almond based, and the nut allergy screws that plan.

It depends very much I think on where you live. France, peasant food and beyond. London, a dish associated with the monied, but you can quite often get them really cheap in coastal supermarkets in many places in the UK.
