I'm going to guess that the 33% who support AI being able to give financial advice plan to make money by using it to sell dog-shit to the 21% who don't know if it's OK for AI to give financial advice.
1% of people support sexually explicit images of adults without their consent, which 96% oppose
5% support generating 'undressed' images of real adults (images in e.g. underwear, lingerie or bikinis, but not featuring nudity) while 87% oppose this
[10% of Reform support this, 80% oppose]

It's not about having a favourite river, the important thing is remembering which rivers you hate and have insulted.
Because you can't cross the same river twice.

Statehood, eh? I bet the two new senators from the proud state of Greenland will be very pro the guy who just invaded them.
A bill has already been introduced in the U.S. Congress under which the United States is prepared to annex Greenland and make it a U.S. state.

I know it's not popular on here to suggest that there may be a rational basis for Trump's policies, but the undeniable fact is that unless you control Canada and Greenland you don't get the +5 troops bonus for North America.

Vaping on the garage at my parents house the other day and musing that the butane camping stove is probably older than me, but it might also be an alien monument in a spider civilisation that also pre-dates me.

I think he’s worried that the whose-boat-got-there-first model will mean that, thanks to Leif Erikson, Denmark might claim sovereignty over the US.
Which, to be clear, I’m in favour of.

Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

I reckon if the players agreed to sit on their arses for twenty minutes, so that nobody could be murdered tonight, then Claudia would up her cash offer, to save the format and shooting schedule.

I couldn't complete the Hogwarts game, because I just couldn't do the final broomstick time-trial, so I had to ask my son -who has not played the game at all- to do it, and it took him 3 goes.
Not being pro-AI, but it's cost a lot to raise the lad to 16, so this would have been a cheaper option.
