I was not as in love with Peacemaker Season 2 as everyone else was .. the story was a bit all over the place .. and the whole dimension X was a bit wasted in my opinion ... Chris never really contemplates why he found the Nazi dimension so alluring just that his dad and bro are alive there ...

so like do all AI companies have an Asian lady on hand to just trot out for their presentations?

I do hate how the term Karen changed from describing a very specific type of white woman to a term to denigrate any woman who tries to speak up about anything ...

yeah, this would be my guess too .. he'd be moderate on health and the economy and absolutely terrible in everything else

this is basically user-friendly MCPs .. which is great! ... a lot of MCPs are catered towards developers and developers as human beings suck ...

for the life of me, I still have no idea what notion actually does ...
