Putin adviser claims Ukraine planned to invade Russia on 8 March 2022, so Russia attacked first

Reply in thread

Seems rather revisionist and heresy. Who knows. Egypt kicked out the UN peacekeepers, so that was a big red flag and the naval blockade was technically an act of war. I don't really know enough about it to argue. I just think that just because it's clear that Isreal is committing genocide now doesn't mean we should assume that they were attacking Egypt as some sort of expansion. It clearly worked very well as a defense move.

How or why people feel so entitled to insist that other people have kids is beyond me

Reply in thread

Well it's because of the notion that the very reason of being alive is to propagate more life. That's the fundamental nature of life because without that there would be no life. So if you think that life is worth while, it would be logical that you contribute. Otherwise it would be somewhat selfish. And such a mentality of not wanting to sacrifice one's freedom in order to be a parent and take on that responsibility comes across as immature.
I don't think you should have kids if you don't want to. I'm just explaining why some people find it bad and upsetting that you don't.

Error by AI scribe during medical appointment leaves patient devastated

She wonders why she isn't getting the familiarity she wants from her doctor, and feels that the dr didn't review the notes well enough. Well that's probably because the doctor sees dozens of patients a week and doesn't have time / isn't paid to do notes. Medical errors aren't new, they're very common. Picking a few cases of AI errors is meaningless - stats on error levels with and without AI would be more useful.

No, the U.S. is a bit hard to read right now, but in general, they have been pushing for disarmament. Both s and n Korea still claim the whole peninsula, so that doesn't help. And one can easily see why n Korea wants to keep nukes, and that the western world doesn't want them to have them and has imposed sanctions related to that. China doesn't want a US aligned unified Korea on its doorstep, so while they push n Korea to not act too crazy, they don't want them to reunite. S Korea has made overtures for peace and economic collaboration repeatedly. But It's really n Korea that refuses to talk.

It's so funny that you are the exact cliche and unsubstantiated claim generator that you project on me. Ah well, you enjoy your closed bubble, I'm not bothered enough to help you any more. I'll let you have the last word now.
