    Google Gemini - Modern Garden of Eden revision

    I've been having several chats with ChatGPT, and while fascinating, I have been somewhat frustrated with it. It's constant praising of me is embarrassing and annoying, It's insistence to view both sides in almost "equal" light has also been quite frustrating. Although, I do want to be challenged...

    Noteworthy Events - news events that don't need a unique thread

    Seems like 60 Minutes have been taken over by the USA government to become a propaganda show. Scott Pelley was fired and his statement is "Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration. The waste is...

    Defense Beyond MAGA: Toward a Greater America. Defense or attack?

    Hear, hear. Could you imagine, Spain and Portugal creating an alliance, calling themselves the United States of Europe and their people "Eurpeans" and insisting that the other countries outside of their alliance are no longer Europeans. USA really is an inappropriate name for a country, not...

    Civil Rights SCOTUS racial gerrymandering ruling - a non-Dem reaction piece

    The Republican party, The USA right based media do not care about Democracy anymore, for them it is to win at all costs. Over decades they have painted Dems as evil, as corrupt, as Satanic, Baby killers, as persecutors of Christianity, as destroyers of White Christian culture and the American...

    Civil Rights SCOTUS racial gerrymandering ruling - a non-Dem reaction piece

    I guess I'm not arguing that people shouldn't believe in gods, I can only speak for myself, not what others should or shouldn't do. But personally I see just saying "maybe" is avoiding the real issue that no one has made any meaningful coherent claim as to what a god actually is. Some people...

    Civil Rights SCOTUS racial gerrymandering ruling - a non-Dem reaction piece

    How have you evaluated that a god is possible to exist? What is a god? What is it made of? What environment does it need to exist in? How was it formed? Why would it be male? Does it procreate? Who is it procreating with? Is that not a god also, and wouldn't that god then be a female? so why...

    Civil Rights SCOTUS racial gerrymandering ruling - a non-Dem reaction piece

    I don't know how you would evaluate (other than gut feels) something that doesn't have a definition. What is a god? If I were to meet Allah, YHWH, Tane, Zeus, Estre, Indra, Odin, Ra, ... how would I assess if they are a god or not? If I were to assess myself, how would I determine if I am a...

    Civil Rights Male Chauvinism and/or Racism in US History

    NZ is slightly larger than the UK, in landmass. We only have about 5 million people though. Not really sure what size has got to do with anything though. NZ was the first self governing country to give women the right to vote, that was in 1893. But we lagged on giving gays the right to...

    Other The next insurrection

    It is apparent to me that D Trump and his think tank are setting up the next insurrection. Pardoning the Jan 6 insurrectioners is showing his future crowd sourced army (let's just call them CSA for the sake of this thread) that any and all crimes in Trump's favour will be pardoned. The 1.76...

    Civil Rights Male Chauvinism and/or Racism in US History

    Oh, wow, I just looked this up in the context of NZ. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/511149/international-women-s-day-how-can-we-have-equity-when-we-don-t-have-pockets As International Women's Day rolls around again, women can sit back, relax and reflect on all the amazing progress that's...

    Civil Rights SCOTUS racial gerrymandering ruling - a non-Dem reaction piece

    It is bizzare that these people get all upset at such a soft gesture as quietly and peacefully as taking a knee. But actually I just think these whites are upset at any and all protests for black/minority causes, and want to shut it down. It's obviously an example of Cancel Culture which they...

    Agnostics are Atheists. It's just a subset. I'm an Atheist and an Agnostic and especially an Ignostic.

    Civil Rights Male Chauvinism and/or Racism in US History

    That would be outright racism. It is true that minorities are generally disadvantaged with regards to hiring practices. People tend to hire people of the same race as themselves because they are on the same wavelength and perhaps because if the referral system is being used, that means more...

    Civil Rights Male Chauvinism and/or Racism in US History

    It's strange to me, to refer to racism and sexism in USA in a historical context. As far as I understand it, it is still alive and strong today. People typically see the racial divide, it is common knowledge that many USA people don't like the darker skinned people of African decent. (BTW all...
