But don't worry, complying in advance may not have earned respect but it did earn not a low-rent warehouse lockup but a top-of-the-line pork barrel concentration camp that will bring money, apparently the only thing that now matters, to a community now defined as "business owners and customers."

"MAN" was the wrong term because an AI agent is not a human and as such is not limited by the daily verbal output ceilings of quantity and quality that even the most championship-level board poster on a manic bender is constrained by. It also does not require an empathetic and educational response.

Other Men who are wondering where to go to meet potential dates should stand next to him in public and cheerfully counter his verbal insults to passersby, making Other Men look like beacons of humor, good mental health, and anti-bulllying courage. I Am Going To Punch You kid energy.

My hypothesis is that these legislators are concerned about different areas of practice cutting in on one another's historic domains, but they're fine with deregulating within the domains to facilitate more advanced procedures being performed by young practitioners tracked to lower titles and pay.

Does this mean an office of 30 dental hygienists and one supervising dentist would now do all the work of 31 dentists, patients would pay full fees for procedures formerly restricted to dentists, but the hygienists would continue to make low hygienist pay while the dentist who owns the practice...

Run government like a business. Run the school like a business. Run a house of worship like a business. Run a not-for-profit like a business. Run the library district like a business.

The leading proponents of a patriarchal model at all levels of society (e.g. tech moguls who want to run their companies, families, and towns of business and residence all as fiefdoms) publicly and financially support Tr*mp's attempts at patriarchal/royal government, and this mode of leadership.

I *think* this is AI slop, but I also think the machines are better at simulating comma usage.

Just Following Orders is not an explanation the administration accepted from federal agents assigned to collect evidence to be used in due process indictments and trials, and now it tells its newly hired agents that they have "absolute immunity" of they kill. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

There's a 15% chance that CPB sends a small boat full of armed thugs in fatigues zooming around on NYE, grinning madly. There's a 3% chance of them not only doing so but muzzle sweeping the crowd of revelers.

"De donde eres?" the agent asks. Where are you from?

...

"Quiet!” the agent screams. “You had your chance to be peaceful."
