this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

There was no “Battle at Wounded Knee.”
300 unarmed Lakota, men, women, children and elders were massacred.
By cowards.
Your word IS NOT final.
Those medals were unearned.
By evil men.
That’s the truth.
And that is definitely FINAL!!

I will say the funniest thing that has happened this week is I went to a small concert.
A performer decided to do a melody. Part of the melody was an R. Kelley song. I booed.
A server came up to me, a twinkle in her eye. She asked me why did I boo?
My reply made her cackle, then she gave me a dap

Trump wants Ukraine to give up territory and disarm in return for "Security guarantees".
Oh, you mean like the ones they were given in 1994 when they agreed to give up their nuclear weapons?
Tell me how well THAT worked out for them.

Before WWII, the language of science was German. Scientific papers were published in German. International conferences happened in German. After the Nazis gutted research and exiled scientists fled to the USA, that language became English.

The problem with AI (as currently being pushed within the tech industry)
is the same as the tech industry as a whole:
People (mostly white guys) want to be lauded for being excellent without actually doing the work to be excellent. They want to be seen as amazing while being mediocre.

The Trump regime couldn’t care less about our military. He never has that’s why he called them suckers and losers. And military voting for him is now facing their own FAFO along with others who didn’t deserve this.
