At last census, just under 40%. Christians just over. Next year Christians will probably be fewer than we with no gods

In the USA believers are over 60%

Congratulations! An important milestone and darned hard work

“No federal or state law enforcement agency has provided any evidence to the public that the alleged gunmen were motivated by pro-Palestinian beliefs.”
But their actions will be used to criminalise opposition to genocide anyway #auspol

40% of the pop are Christian and same number know that gods don't exist

He might try some balancing of his responsibilities

Did Walz use the other parts of DARVO other than Victim?

I didn't hear that

Christo-Nat's use it differently

As abuse and mocking. In their world, people who don't take personal responsibility are weak, lost, godless, whingers, etc

This was contempt

A tale of two systems; How beliefs lead to harmful outdoor practice - Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education
In the experiential outdoor sector, differing beliefs about complex trauma and causes of harm can result in markedly different approaches to outdoor leadership practices. This paper examines the confl...

Five! From a bolt action. How many times did the arsehole shoot at Ahmed I wonder?

Was Ahmed distracting the shooter from aiming at others, as well as tackling the elder one?

Drawing fire is absolutely heroic and more than one casualty did so it seems

Hundreds of previous examples support this prediction

Just look to the USA for how this will go down

Ban hate, not dissent

The words on the signs carried are more important than the number of people carrying signs

The easiest mechanism might just be for the USA to join almost all UN nations by ratifying all human rights conventions, and then requiring that minimum standard internally

So many things to be done in the post Trump Renaissance

'Never again' might be the guide, and also 'dignity for all'

Hate speech is not free speech. The very point of hate is to subjugate

Legislate, and fine her into oblivion

Re P2025 pic; why would we want politically accountable decision makers?

Don't we want to best, the most meritorious and NOT the political favourites to make public health decisions?

That seems weird, but I am not a US citizen. Must be different there?

“Trump, by contrast, is rechristening things for himself and then pretending it’s an honor rather than an ego trip. He asks not what he can do for his country, but what his country can name for him."

"Past is prologue"

Very good!

Sorry, I am not familiar with the analogy. Fruit from trees fertilised by effluent are not poisoned are they? Bruce may know

We disagree on AI being monolithic. It is many things. Monoliths are single things

Prohibition did not work on pinball machines, alch nor now drugs. Other policies do work

I research healing of child abuse and use AI for editing

Bruce writes about agriculture and horticulture

AI use is not monolithic

The www we use to post here has distributed CSAM since inception

CSAM permitting algorithms must be punished, but Epstein's friends...

You know, none of that changes

I don't recommend AI giving an opinion, just grammer, syntax, punctuation, restructuring a paragraph perhaps, if I am really struggling

AI cannot think critically at the ontological or epistemological level, or radically. It just applies rules to writing
December 20, 2025 at 9:50 PM
When bored, I have asked AI to revise and write in the style of Jar Jar Binks. Hilarious
December 20, 2025 at 9:45 PM
Of course. None of that changes

I feed the AI a style guide I wrote so it edits to my preferences

For me, AI is just a modern thesaurus, playing with Grammer.

Never let AI create new text! Not only unethical, it is really bad at original writing, and cannot do critical analyses
December 20, 2025 at 9:43 PM
I've told quite a few students that their writing reads like AI, and list the reasons. Their next are often better

But the good thing is English as second language students now write with almost perfect Grammer. I used to feed their work into AI to work out what they meant!

It is a balance
December 20, 2025 at 12:22 PM
I use AI too, as a kind of supervisor, after I've written everything. It suggests more concise sentences etc, but I only accept some. Otherwise it alters my style and the text loses it's originality
December 20, 2025 at 12:18 PM
I failed a student for Assessment 1, pointing to sloppy AI-like writing and fake citations

Assessment 2 was of such a high standard I thought they had cheated again, but no. They had learned, were scared of failing, and their final score was a low credit

Holding authors to account should work
