From the perspective of me, as a reader it doesn't matter whether the content is written by a feeling human or a bot pretending to have feelings. If it is good.

I don't believe it. Like literally I don't believe this is true in any way. It is more untraceable money going to some "charity" but for whatever reason the name of the charity and what it does will go unnamed.

Yes, because my dislike of the way Musk has handled similar issues in Ukraine makes me a strawman for your argument.

Musk is not the future. The men and women risking their lives in Iran are the uplifting news. Musk is a broken promise of futurism.

Reply to Is Brian Sandersons writing style just not for me? Struggling to get through book 3 of Stormlight Archives (mild spoilers) by Dostojevskij1205
I have given up on him a bit. It feels like he is just factory writing recently. I feel no investment in the books any longer. I assume it is just me/us but then again, that is true for literally every like/dislike we have.

Science ensures there is no post truth. If something rejects reality it isn't science.

This article fails to deliver much useful information. I want to know when human trials will begin, how many are in the trial, what is the mechanism by which they help? Do they destroy cells, if so, how? It reads more like a wishlist than a description of an actual item which must have gone through at least animal trials to get to the point of human trials.

Can you show me where you got the data on the 400 copies and 6 week wait? 400 copies of a book in a library system seems insane. Even for one as big as New York.

Use Hoopla instead. No wait. The wait times aren't likely due to out of state users but rather to limited number of available licenses per copy and that some books are popular. If they have 1 copy/license and 3 people in line ahead of you it will be 12 weeks.
