“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

My sister in law runs a cafe in Toowoomba to employ & help at risk-youth and they’ve very sadly had one of the beautiful kids involved die. If you have any spare dollars to help her family pay for her funeral it would be extremely appreciated

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

The article itself cites an example where a parent has a heart attack and has to go to the hospital so the kids are left unattended. A baby monitor is not a babysitter!

Surely leaving children unattended while you have dinner a block away is a really bad idea?
It's a choice many parents would admit to me—but only in private. Others called it criminal.

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.
There has never been and never will be a birthrate induced shortage of human beings on this planet. There are many reasons one might want children, as I do. It is simply not the case that anyone in particular has a responsibility to consider having children to perpetuate the existence of humanity.

Journalists have been burned alive inside tents from bombs dropped by Israel. The footage of this is horrendous – and yet we are watching human beings live this every. single. day and our leaders and media do nothing.
BREAKING: Israel bombed a tent sheltering journalists at Nasser Medical Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.
Footage shows the tents engulfed in flames — with a journalist trapped inside, burned alive.

I don't need history to prove me right because I am fully capable of judging right from wrong now, in real time. Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. It is threatening people with ethnic cleansing by forced removal as the BEST case scenario or complete annihilation.

If apartheid was wrong in South Africa, it is wrong in Israel. If ethnic cleansing was wrong in Bosnia, it is wrong in Palestine. If genocide was wrong in Rwanda, it is wrong in Gaza. There is no principled way to support human rights in one context while excusing their violation in another.
