I am the depressed.

May skip NANOWRIMO this year or drop out entirely

Aw, D... how come?

They've been pushing 'AI' products and got huffy when people got alarmed by that

And it is likely with AI ties, they're going to 'scraped'/steal some writing and use it to 'train' AIs for their sponsor companies

Ooo. Crap. Yeah. That's an ISSUE.

Some professional writers who had been supporting them are now departing for obvious reasons

YEah. I wouldn't skip NaNoWriMo... I would boycott in protest and stand with my ethics.

To be fair, the validator they used for years was a trust system so they couldn't steal the older stuff even if they wanted to but the future is uncertain.

They're setting a precedent. A bad one.

(IMHO - I don't NaNoWriMo.)

Your opinion is about as learned as mine in this case. And I agree

Need to vanish for an hour or more zoom

Sorry, may have not communicated with the Duke well, seeing him is fine

August said he didn't wish to speak to the Duke alone but that he did want to be in the room early; the room being the room where the trial will be held.

Ah. My bad

Heya.

hiiii

Hello

We

We will see if I got blocked by my Aunt

SHe put up a video by Terrance K Williams accusing Biden of Killing Trump's 35 dollar Insulin cap, then bringing it back to take credit for it

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Well, honestly, there are some times you're better off not seeing what nitwit family members are saying.

I know, but she was doing a 'be a shame if someone SHARED this and saw the TRUTH'

and something in me snapped

I posted this:

"More like a half truth... Trump did set up a voluntary cap on Insulin for some seniors. Biden's is a mandatory cap for all 3.4 million insulin users on medicare. Biden's covers more people, and applies to a greater number of insulin products."

BUT HER EMAILS!!!

Very well-stated reality check, Mr. D.

Give her a source to back up the statement.

My trump cult kin can't lose. They demand I cite a source. I cite an awarding winning source such as NPR or something and they're like 'that's a liberal source'

Can't Rahne, it would probably be something besides Fox news and thus not be REAL news

I'm sure you've pointed out to them that Fox won a court case on the basis that they're an entertainment source and are thus not required to state factual evidence?

To be fair, has been awhile since I pointed that out

I mean, they won't thank you for that information.

Rigged Demoncraft court

Anybody who believes Fox's nonsense is looking for something that validates their prejudices, fears, and hatreds. That means they're already cruel-hearted, IMO. No shame in dropping them if they're showing themselves to be horrible.

She's also kind and funny in moments. It's not my job to save her soul, but I feel like I at least need to try. And to be fair, she's been less obnoxious about than some I HAVE dropped

Well, has she doubled-down after your reality check comment?

We'll see. I just put it in there

One of my Housemates says I should have let it be, and she's probably right; but the 'share if you want to spread the truth' had me feel i had to. It's not some lie she is keeping to herself

You're a good man, D.

Well, I think the party that you need to let be is the part where you're worrying about what she thinks of you now. Don't. You posted facts. If she can't deal with that, that's on her, not on you.

Truth. THanks

Try not to dwell on it. Like Shady says, you're a good man.

Shady and you are both very forgiving
