is so not table 14 https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv18.pdf table 14 is on page 13. numbers does make white offender and hispanic victims and black offender and asian victim numbers looks curious enough to need further explanation. HA! Good Fun!

inch at a time. is ironic, but core and most fundamental problem seems simple to fix, but only in retrospect. the more that people failed to pay their increasing impossible to pay bills, the more hospitals had to charge new patients to stay afloat. hospital accountants kept the unpaid stuff on the books as long as possible while increasing costs for every other service to cover the eventual loss. such insane behaviour were universal and caused inflation in all aspects o' medical service. the industry is now so large it is requiring dramatic efforts to change. the number o' folks employed to do nothing but medical billing is many thousands, and those folks lose jobs almost overnight if any number o' single-payer/uhc plans is adopted. just as we cannot let mega banks fail 'cause o' cascade effect on economy, sudden fixing the healthcare system is gonna be equal disastrous for any number o' folks who is now dependent on the system in its current bloated form. HA! Good Fun!

am knowing is a movie and not reals, but isn't the point o' marine training to put just a smidge o' col kurtz into young men who would otherwise never even contemplate pointing a weapon at another human being much less killing 'em? gotta hand it to the corps as is amazing just how successful such training is. HA! Good Fun!

y'know, our personal experience suggests trying to educate individual racists into having some kinda epiphany is offering an extreme low rate o' success. in fact, in rl, we never accuse a person o' being a racist if our intent is to have a constructive dialogue. self-aware racists who is knowing they is racist and believe they is justified in their racism will surprising often be offended when you suggest they is racist. who knew? those persons who behave racist but just don't realize their actions is bigoted, will near certain react poorly to an accusation o' racism. "react poorly" is an understatement. in the US, racism is inexorably linked to iconography o' nazis and kkk, so when you suggest a person is racist, the christian woman who insists she can't be racist 'cause she once dated an italian man who, during the summer, got skin as dark as Gromnir, is gonna be mortified by suggestion she is a racist. there is the possibility for salvation. maybe mom and dad are the kinda everyday racists who think most minority problems would go away if "those people" were more diligent and worked a bit harder, but if their daughter, little cindy-lou who, goes to school and realizes the minority kids is not so different, then next generation has a shot at real change. rare does Gromnir suggest trying to fix a problem by addressing effects, but racism is kinda such an issue, though am not saying we only address effects. today we may address the effects o' racism by reducing income disparity and health care gaps 'tween white and minority populations, but am thinking we tend to go 'bout it the wrong way. eighteen year-old white kid from backwater arkansas has never gotten a break... evar. his parents were poor. his grandparents were poor. as far as he knows, his family going back to adam and eve were poor. tell some o' these kids how they is privileged and they get angry. now go ahead and suggest racism and privilege is mundane and matter o' fact for all white folks whether they realize or not and see how poor white kid reacts. explain to the kid who can't get a decent job, but is killing himself working crap jobs such that college feels like a pipe dream... and everybody keeps telling him college is needed. tell the white and underprivileged they need wait for help 'cause we need first fix generations o' white privilege. is not winning strategies. long term and real solutions come from cultural changes which start with kids. gotta take a +15-year approach which is unsatisfying for those suffering today and for political types who need show immediate results to get elected next year or a few years from today. short-term we are able to address income disparity and health care issues and many other problems, but we gotta be savvy enough to frame the debate so as to not further polarize an already horribly divided nation. we give gd a hard time 'bout the confederacy. as we have noted, more than once, we believe the confederacy deserves to be given a nice and final immolation, but we always stress need for education. the ordinary southerner who venerates the confederate battle flag do not see themselves as racist. sure, there is more than a few who fully acknowledge and embrace their bigotry, but is not most. the ordinary white southerner who loves what the confederate flag represents *groan* were taught in school how the civil war were not fought 'cause o' slavery. schools taught these confederate loving folks that slavery were bad and it were a terrible thing, but that most slave owners treated their slaves like family members, or perhaps beloved house pets, and that even so, the real fight were 'bout liberty and self determination. you got generations o' southerners who, right or wrong, honest believe the narrative they were taught in schools, and is much easier to embrace such a narrative when the alternative is that you has believed and perpetuated a lie and an injustice for near all your life. point at confederate flag and says anybody who venerates is a racist forces all those southerners (and a few northerners) to make a hard choice which is punishing in its polarization: either gotta admit that all those people shouting at you that you are an ignorant racist is correct or side with an increasingly vilified defense o' the confederate battle flag, which is often perpetuated most aggressive by modern day kkk and nazis. we push folks to embrace an extreme and then act surprised when those people become extreme. oh, and human is animals. when an animal is afraid or hungry or angry, it often runs away, but humans is pack animals, so if we are in groups and we is hungry and afraid and angry, we lash out at the weak, particular those weak not part o' our group. such behaviour is an ugly reality and is all twisted up with racism and stupidity and fear and base animal instinct which regardless o' fact we may split atom and travel to the moon, will always be a factor in our interactions with other humans... human animals. HA! Good Fun!

didn't think there ever were a claim uhc or alternatives would be free o' a price tag. has been a few studies which show uhc may actual be cheaper overall than current system. am not wholly convinced, particular as is just as many reputable studies which show different. regardless, particular given current charlie fox situation in many cities, should be concerns regarding all kinda secondary social costs which result from the expanding gulf in income disparity. those who have less/not enough, tend to become angrier and more fearful o' a government which consistent does not look out for them. is not a new phenomenon. 'course there is also the whole morality issue regarding American willingness to ignore homelessness and healthcare issues. the most depraved and soulless me and mine character might balk if we begin talking 'bout kids. children make up a large % o' folks receiving insufficient health care or enduring homelessness, and am thinking it takes an impressive amount o' callous indifference to ignore the plight o' kids. perhaps those kids shoulda' thought ahead, planned better, and chose better and more responsible parents? as hurl noted, we already endure evils o' socialism. when it comes to basic education, infrastructure spending, and bailouts for farmers when a President decides to have a trade war with china, we got many folks cheering socialism. that said, am knowing many see the world as being made o' teflon and one big slippery slope which only needs a slight tip towards the abyss to send us all plummeting. *sigh* we, as a people, may make choices 'bout how much o' a grip we wanna maintain on the image o' American self-reliance. is not a flippant observation. American self-reliance, while deride elsewhere, is important to many voters. is core value kinda stuff. nevertheless, am thinking is only possible to ignore the growing health care, homelessness and income disparity issues if one is either psychopathic indifferent, or consciously unaware. gotta be a tipping point for most, and such a tipping does not result in an inevitable and inexorable slide down the new created unidirectional slope. HA! Good Fun!

close to 40% o' the emt in nyc don't have health insurance. were a couple stories 'bout such when pandemic first hit the city. after obamacare, employers had to pay health insurance... for full-time employees. so many employers take a bunch o' full-time jobs and make 'em part-time, just to avoid health insurance coverage. the emt also need make hard choices. food, housing and basic utilities is kinda non-negotiable costs o' living, so if you is making bare enough to survive, particular if you is needing pay off student loans, then you need make hard choices 'bout health insurance. restaurant staff. delivery people. small business owners... who ironic may be paying for insurance for multiple employees, but not themselves. is hundreds o' different jobs which see a large % o' those employed nevertheless unable to afford health insurance. if monetary penalty for not having insurance is less than one or two months o' health insurance premiums you cannot afford... and it always were as much 'bout the premiums as anything else, 'cause that is the actual functional cost o' insurance for most americans, though is just another way the poor (disproportionate minority) get screwed by the system. if you got co-pays which is also expensive 'cause you may only afford cheapest health insurance, then you are going to avoid doctor visits n' such unless they is absolute necessary. only first three dr. visits a year is covered? have a $10k deductible (ordinary), which goes extreme fast for any serious med issue, and we see how even a single person w/o amish numbers o' kids, may be on the hook for near $15k in out-pocket med expenses in a given year even if they have insurance. making maybe $40k a year in a part-time job and that $15k is enough to start a credit death spiral leading to bankruptcy. me and mine. doesn't affect me and mine, so is not real or is qq worthy. HA! Good Fun!

Trump calls it 'inappropriate' for Bolton to write book “If he wrote a book, I can’t imagine that he can because that’s highly classified information,” Trump, who said he hadn’t read the book, told reporters during a meeting in the Cabinet Room. “I will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified. So that would mean if he wrote a book and if the book gets out, he’s broken the law and I would think he would have criminal problems,” Trump continued. ... well, that's just wrong. not need to explain why is wrong, yes? should be axiomatic that President don't get to declare all private conversations with his exalted personage highly classified and the divulging o' contents from such conversations to be worthy o' criminalization. *shrug* am admitted curious to hear how the fox pundits will spin this as we continue to see the chief executive slouch towards tyranny. HA! Good Fun!

relative few jobs in the US, even professional, is covered by a contract. at-will is standard. nevertheless, just as when issue is the employee's race and religion and other protected classes/groups, if the plaintiff shows proof the employer fired for an improper reason, even if no reason is provided, the employer will need make the plaintiff whole. thanks to social media and email, employers is frequent memorializing their stoopidity, so one not even need rely on recollections o' a parade o' disgruntled employees who perhaps overheard a conversation which may or may not avoid hearsay depending on situation and context. HA! Good Fun!

the guy was in the hospital for two months and stay were involving icu and initial emergency room costs. no surprise bill were so large. frame o' reference-- we had a minor surgery a couple years ago. did require general anesthesia, but were considered a relative simple procedure, though am aware general anesthesia should never be considered routine. were gonna be outpatient, but doctors decided to keep us overnight to monitor, just to be safe. less than 24 hours total spent in hospital for a non-emergency surgery which took less than two hours. total cost for surgery and overnight stay: $350k. ... in other news, FDA pulls emergency approval for malaria drugs to treat COVID-19. HA! Good Fun!

agreed. most people got sense enough to be wary o' an unfamiliar dog. do not provoke the dog. don't aggravate the dog. things turn sideways and dog attacks, then even if you win, chances are you got bit... and maybe need a hospital visit. if you get bit by rex, we can all agree the dog owner is a bad person for not restraining the dog and/or not training him to be better socialized-- even inherent mean dogs may be trained. you shouldn't need be afraid o' some other guy's dog, but the reasonable course o' action is to err on side o' caution with dogs. the sense many o' us has when facing a strange dog, we lose when facing cops. cops got guns. more caution would be appropriate with cops, yes? HA! Good Fun!

then you really don't know how cops behave in many/most jurisdictions. dui is not necessarily a one-way ticket to jail. particular in many a rural jurisdiction, and especial if the drunkard is underage (but not limited to such) the police as often as not drive the bleary-eyed driver home rather than drive to jail. etc. there is many states which do require minimum jail time following a dui offense, but even then, you need not be arrested. may need show up voluntarily for court/jail, but... but again, we did note how arrest is always gonna be ez to argue as reasonable. cops will take a bit more effort if they is sympathetic and sympathy is in far less supply for minorities dealing with cops. once cops got brooks out of the cars and presumable got keys away from him, then immediate danger to public were over. no need to resort to violence. HA! Good Fun!

misunderstand. dui and arrest is not same. sure, you get a citation no matter what, but arrest is not same. if brooks had been a white guy slumped behind wheel, he woulda' gotten the dui once he failed sobriety, but that is not same as arrest. HA! Good Fun! ps we did specific address just this point btw. brooks, regardless o' race, were not a guy who would be given a citation and then sent on his way. *shrug*

depends. for those curious 'bout brooks situation: 1) do a search for fleeing felon rule. you may be surprised. 2) tasers is not nice, but is not the core problem the suspect didn't just point the taser at the cops following him. watch video close. looks as if mr. brooks discharges the device-- possibly even hit the nearest pursuer. cop stumbles immediate after taser is discharged by brooks and falls against a car. taser is kinda a red herring though. the suspect had already shown a willingness to assault police officers in their earlier attempt to arrest him. cop training almost anywhere would establish that the subject in question is dangerous, and cop training and reasoning is simple: a suspect who has shown a willingness to use force on police is a threat to public. ipso facto... 3) @HoonDing is actual right 'bout race, but am not thinking for reasons most will embrace... as usual, many will disagree with Gromnir. regardless o' race, once you trigger cop training and experience regarding violence, you have already passed the rubicon. vol enjoys posting videos and links to events where white folks suffered at the hands o' cops. he is wrong to claim there is no cop racism 'cause such events occur, but it is true cops is less hesitant to use excess force 'pon whites than many would like to believe. is not as if this stuff only happens to minorities. once you put a cop in a situation where they is needing respond to challenges to authority and situations which has possibility o' putting self, other officers or innocent bystanders at risk, then far too many cops will use force, and then punish the suspect for providing the cop an excuse to use force. need serious changes to training. HOWEVER ... the racism likely started before the drama and not once we saw the suspect fighting with cops-- punching 'em, grabbing the taser, fleeing and then discharging taser at pursuers. if cops show up and find a drunk guy asleep in his car at a wendy's drive-thru, and the guy is white, how much effort do the "protect and serve" cops make to see that drunk guy gets a ride home... safe? even if suspect is drunk and belligerent and repeated fails the attitude test, particular if suspect is appearing to be an upstanding, middle-class white guy, the first impulse o' cops on scene is gonna be other than arrest. yeah, arrest is ez to argue is reasonable. brooks failed sobriety and fell asleep at wheel at a wendy's-- this is not a person you give a citation to and then send him on his way. brooks is exactly the guy who gets in an accident minutes later and kills multiple people 'cause he were too drunk to drive safe. drunk tanks at local jails o' every major city is filled with such people all too often. is not gonna be difficult for cops to show it were complete reasonable to arrest brooks. nevertheless, the whole situation coulda' played out different if the cops were more inclined to help brooks. a couple o' atlanta cops came across a drunk black man in a parking lot. what are chances brooks were belligerent? am suspecting brooks failed the attitude test immediate. drunk white guy in same situation and the cops woulda' been more likely to channel their inner andy griffith, perhaps rolling their eyes a bit, but doing everything they can to get drunk guy home safe. @IndiraLightfoot asks why cops weren't more careful and aware given situation. from cop pov, and as hard as may be to believe, they probable were being careful. the initial skuffle, even after the suspect became violent, did not see the cops respond with night sticks and other similar heavy-handed options. from cop pov, they no doubt believed they were being careful. have tried to explain how casual is cop violence on these boards. initial skuffle were, God save us all, restrained. however, in a high pressure situation, cop training and experience takes over, as it is s'posed to do. brooks, a fleeing felon, escapes from cops and fires taser at one pursuer, possible hitting him. again, need serious changes to cop training. regardless, am thinking many people is gonna be shocked by the actual results o' the now inevitable case 'gainst the cops. oh, and for the fox viewers, Atlanta erupts after Rayshard Brooks death prompts police chief to step down story at fox focuses on the violence o' the protesters. is unfortunate when protesters respond with violence, 'cause many of those moderate white voters whose support the protesters need if there is gonna be meaningful change, see brooks video and is appalled, but they see wendy's burn and is similar horrified.

is the second year since 2008 we will miss the berkeley juneteenth observances, and second year in a row we miss. covid-19 has us avoiding crowds this year, so we will be observing in spirit as 'posed to person. oddly enough, as last year were first time we missed since 2008, am believing we mentioned our fail on the obsidian message board. and to be complete honest, our primary inspiration for making the drive to the bay area to be observing juneteenth is the music festival which is part o' berkeley's offering. not need to go to berkeley for juneteenth, but is worth the drive for the music. HA! Good Fun! ps a 4' high wood and wire fence along the US-mexico border would be no less effective a solution than the steel monstrosity, but it would be far cheaper.

so you are autonomous and independent save for when you must needs deny The State? ... am knowing gd is keeding 'bout his ineffectual bit o' dramatic posturing, but as long as gd doesn't build a massive steel wall along his border, painted black o' course, your efforts wouldn't be as idiotic as the multi-billion dollar lunacy in which the US is engaged. HA! Good Fun!

every history teacher who ever had vol as a student is weeping. HA! Good Fun!

would be fun, just to see us get eviscerated on national tv for the second time in our life. am predicting categories such as the following: french poets, jazz, the kentucky derby, stamps, chinese emperors, seinfeld. ... HA! Good Fun!

already were. edward g. robinson, an excellent actor who were unfortunate typecast a bit too often, were advocating civil rights reform and championing an end to workplace discrimination based on race way back in the 1940s. more vocal support such as his back in the 40s and we might not be where we are today. he also had an extensive private art collection, but am not sure how relevant such is. guy had gravitas even playing a scene with mcqueen, malden, calloway and ann-margret, 'mongst others. ... am also a big fan o' karl malden, but am honest not aware o' his political activities or skew. could show his famous on the waterfront scene, which would also be relevant in its own way. a few degrees o' separation makes near anything relevant if you got a little imagination and a bit o' trivia-level knowledge. HA! Good Fun!

not 100% certain what your personal pov is, but personal, we do this all the time. example: somebody gets apoplectic angry 'bout south park scientology jokes and we draw tentative conclusion the person is either a follower o' scientology, and/or is a person who will be offended by many o' our personal opinions 'bout scientology. depending on the nature o' our relationship, we will take the crude litmus test o' measured offense and decide whether or not to discuss scientology in the person's presence. reasonable and ordinary. HA! Good Fun!

am pretty sure more than a few folk has been offended by line drawings, animated or not, since the first cave paintings. we look at such drawings etched on stone walls and marvel, but that fat buffalo getting speared were just as likely to be a political cartoon with a fat chief standing in for the buffalo from the artist's pov. just as many folks were likely offended when artist, at fat chief's direction, used the cave paintings to sell his "victories" to the people. elerond got this one right oh, and if you saw some o' the old looney toons from the 1930s and weren't offended, we feel sorry for you and am recognizing why we still got so much room for improvement in this nation. HA! Good Fun!

first, your response proves our point 'bout personal lens, so ty. second... no. you balk at what you recognize is beneficial change 'cause o' some imaginary threat to liberty? yes, as soon as there is another school or mass shooting, and the killer is wielding an ar-15, we will again need revisit gun control, albeit stoopidly as many folks will insist on mislabeling such weapons as automatic and/or a high-powered military weapon. so what? is actual LESS gun control today than most o' US history. for a long time gun control were handled by having draconian restrictions on gun powder possession. later, virtual every western town had prohibitions on firearms w/i city limits, particular where law enforcement personnel were limited. changes and alterations to gun control law has, quixotic, led to more firearms freedom than the framers woulda'/coulda' possible imagined. more recent, auto weapon ban didn't result in some kinda inexorable slide into the abyss, did it? yes, every time there is a mass shooting there will be cries for more gun control, just as has been the case for decades. so what? is more than a few western and civilized nations where gun ownership is almost reaching US per capita levels, but restrictions on handguns has resulted in relative tiny numbers o' gun related homicides. other nations didn't face some kinda liberty apocalypse by prohibiting handguns. heck, on the first page o' the coronavirus thread, our genesis post observed how state adopted covid-19 measures would lead to l00ny 2nd amendment freaks claiming such protections were just a first step in the government's move to come for their guns. folks are so predictable. somehow every government action may be viewed as a precursor to the State coming after their guns. am not gonna get sucked in by such silliness. statistics uncontroverted show handguns gets owners killed far more often than they save lives o' owner or family. get rid o' handguns would make cops less jumpy. get rid o' handguns would decrease suicide rates, 'cause as we has pointed out previous, suicide is, god help us, an act o' convenience which may be serious curtailed simple by forcing the potential suicide to take another step towards the gaping maw o' oblivion. etc. and yeah, second amendment, as current read by Court, means handguns is here to stay. nevertheless, give up on a good idea 'cause o' the hoard o' hobgoblins gd imagines is not convincing. oh, and am just fine with digging up and lynching the confederacy, but only if is done with full knowledge as 'posed to ignorance. is too easy to dismiss the south and southerners as a bunch o' ignorant monsters who ignored the humanity o' their fellow man and, for a variety o' reasons, fought a bloody conflict in part to maintain one o' the more vulgar and repugnant institutions devised by the human race. is a far more complex conflict than some kinda oversimplified binary choice o' good northerners and evil southerners. slavery is/was evil, but even Gromnir admits reducing the entire civil war to a good v. evil choice is foolishly oversimplified. it is possible for brave and honourable people to fight and die for an unjust cause. the south suffered so terrible and yet they continued to fight. folks in new york and massachusetts were going on holiday and having picnics as if there were no war while thousands, black and white, were starving in south carolina. the war were very different for the north than it were for the south. failure to recognize the terrible sacrifices suffered by the south is one reason why northerners can't figure out why the losers o' the civil war remember the war different than yankees. tear down the statues erected during the 1920s and 50s? fine. burn even the memory o' the confederacy? is arguable Gromnir has done so more than once, at least in our heart. even so, am bothered by the tidal loathing o' the confederacy, which ebbs and flows depending on otherwise remote related acts o' racial injustice. if the inspiration to tear down statues and raze the confederacy is an evil perpetrated in 2020 minneapolis, then am thinking folks need stop and reflect before indulging in their passions. HA! Good Fun!

am honest too lazy to look up current numbers, but in 2016, ~90 unarmed americans were killed by police. of those ninety, a smidge over 50% o' the dead and unarmed persons were black... and almost invariably, "armed" meant the person were in possession o' a handgun. various people is gonna look at such numbers based on own personal lens. 2nd amendment folks will balk at suggestion (reality) handgun possession leads to a much higher rate o' getting death by cop or death by accident. many white conservatives will see higher rate o' black deaths from cop as no more than proof blacks is committing more crime and resisting more frequent. some folks will look at 90 when compared to total arrests and police confrontations and wonder what all the concern is 'bout... qq over yet another nothingburger, or somesuch. blm supporters will see disproportionate black killings as unconscionable and mere tip o' the iceberg when all police killings is considered. ... discuss race insta polarizes folks. is particular tough on law enforcement. tell a moderate/liberal white cop how he is a bigot whether he realizes or not is probable a less than constructive way to get such cops to buy-in to a program for changing use o' force schemes. is a good chance a white cop passed over for promotion twice in favor o' a minority applicant is gonna secret be grumbling 'bout affirmative action even if the minority applicants were clear more qualified-- again starting at disadvantage to buy-in. got a non-minority cop who has faced multiple ia investigations 'cause minorities complained 'bout treatment and even if the cop had started as a blm supporter who marched along with protesters after michael brown shooting, there is a good chance cop is no longer as sympathetic. etc. there is a race problem for cops and daniel shaver incident(s) don't in anyway diminish the need for change. the fact a large % o' times cops go rogue the victim is white don't somehow erase what is disproportionate happening to minorities. that said, given current environment and America's inability to discuss race w/o it turning into a metaphorical blood bath (or worse-- have angry white participants to such conversations simple holding their opinions to themselves and getting angrier and angrier,) has us dubious 'bout the success o' a race-focused plan to deal with cop violence. cop violence in the US is bad and is bad regardless o' the race o' the cop or the victim. and yes, cop violence is levied disproportionate 'pon minorites. fact. the thing is, am believing there is a cop solution to cop violence, but pretend as if there is a solution to cop racism without a broader and more general fix to USA cultural and social racism is a pipe dream. you aren't gonna somehow fix cop racism without addressing centuries o' systemic racism which lead to our current income disparity issues. you aren't gonna fix cop racism without addressing historical racism which has lead to minority distrust o' government institutions. you aren't gonna fix cop racism until you fix educational and healthcare racism. look to board responses and see just how resistant is more than a few folks to wanna recognize cop racism as a problem and then imagine how much more difficult it will be to engage actual cops in meaningful change. am thinking an attempt to address cop racism is laudable but ultimately a waste o' effort w/o simultaneous addressing broader race concerns and problems. raise your hand if you believe such a sea change o' American culture and law is gonna happen anytime soon. cop violence is not an issue beyond the ability o' state and local governments to address. is a difficult problem but is one which offers room for improvement and a legit possibility for short and long-term change. try and fix cop racism, as if such improvement may be achieved w/o larger (and less likely) societal changes, strikes us as being o' being beyond any sorta realistic hope in 2020. am not suggesting folks ignore cop racism. contrary, we need learn to discuss race issues in this country w/o everybody having their brains dribble outta their skulls whenever race is mentioned. learn to deal with racism is an enormous problem and is a generational fix. as a people we need to deal with US racism, but we also need deal with cop violence. general rule: when faced with a seeming insurmountable problem, am finding it is always beneficial to choose to focus on one aspect o' the problem which may be fixed. be paralyzed by the enormity o' an obstacle benefits none. obstacles typical appear less monolithic once you make constructive headway, even if change is small. so focus on cop violence w/o ignore cop racism. even so, recognize you ain't gonna fix cop racism w/o changing American racism. HA! Good Fun!

compared to vol, hurl is just a n00b, so misunderstanding is understandable. point o' fact, am thinking vol would be disappointed if we were to give him some kinda special clemency. HA! Good Fun!

am recalling an ai oddity from a couple years ago... could google if we were intrigued enough to do so. regardless, had two ai set to communicate with each other and the ai kinda sponatneous developed their own language and shorthand such that researchers couldn't follow what were being communicated. the ai were promptly shut down. were a facebook experiment o' all things. HA! Good Fun!

not internet. likely bad reading skills from vol. internet will tell vol there were eighteen complaints for chauvin, but only two disciplines, with one case still open. now, in retrospect, is strong reason to believe chauvin shoulda' been disciplined more. is perhaps a good argument for why police should not be investigating themselves. nevertheless, vol misinterpreted and mental transposed discipline and complaint. bad vol. HA! Good Fun!
