I was recently asked 'what age range can you play?' so figured I'd ask a pool of people who haven't necessarily met me...

AI is not intelligent at all -- like any program, it can be directed to give answers with a particular slant or bias.
The fact more people are blindly relying on AI's answers should scare the shit out of everyone. Truly the dumbing down of the populace.

Thinking about this today...
41.7-mil SNAP recipients of 340-mil pop. = 12.26%
approx. 3.1-mil deaths in a calendar year.
12.26% of 3.1-mil = 392,000
So the 186,000 dead SNAP recipients in 29 states might just be expected attrition through death? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fraud among SNAP recipients is not a widespread problem. The USDA once again misses the mark and should turn its attention to ensuring that States operate SNAP in compliance with existing program standards, including those related to program integrity. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
The move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the nation’s largest anti-hunger program and get rid of “fraud.”

People are delusional if they believe axing tariffs will bring prices back down.
When oil prices would go up, and gas prices followed, did the gas price EVER go back to previous levels when oil prices went back down? Expect the same with everything else that's gone up...

Yeah, because *most* "signature policies" don't end up before SCOTUS at all because most administrations consult with competent lawyers when drawing up policies. This regime... not su much...
Bessent on tariffs: "This is one of President Trump's signature policies, and traditionally the Supreme Court does not interfere with a president's signature policy."
