@Huntn00 Quite possibly true. However, believing this threatens to make it a self fulfilling prophecy. If there are ways out, they will exist because at least some people looked for a way out despite the offs. (I’m 76)
Anyone who places a warning on social media that they can’t tolerate any disagreement in an exchange of ideas or they will block you, is better off self locked away onto their own little safe space. My reference is to an individual at writing.exchange who made a bold statement about his intolerance and then erased the statement and blocked me, when I questioned him politely. Sir, thanks for the favor! 🤡
@Huntn00 Yes, a legislator he is absolutely not and cannot claim to be. He's a flamethrower and chaos agent.

If I say something you disagree with, you're better off unfollowing, muting or blocking me than starting a debate.
Generally that's what I do in response to anyone who responds with debate or argument or nuanced explanation about how I'm incorrect. Unfollow, mute, or block.
I'm not posting anything to start a debate.
If a debate is what I get, I have effective tools to end it.

At yesterday's US House subcommittee hearing on risks of AI, there was a lot of enthusiasm for privacy enhancing ML technologies. That seems like a valuable direction, but it alone isn't enough. A company training privacy enhanced ML systems over your data ... still has your data, and we don't have to accept that.

"I think the big story of the last American decade has been the attack on institutions, and the failure of those institutions to repel the attackers. But that story is driven by a key institutional actor - the Republican Party - injecting people who openly despise those institutions into positions of leadership. Trump is the most obvious example. But every Trump needs his Jim Jordans."

My question would be. "So you're saying if Nancy Pelosi had been deposed in the same manner, you ard saying 5 Republicans would come to her rescue?"
It's the democrats fault when guys like him leave a wet spot on their pants after urinating.
How to talk to #Trump. Free debate tip. The beauty of this one is that it works for basically every statement he makes.
“Part of me thinks you’re pathetic or possibly just sick and unable manage the affairs of our country. But, then again, if I were facing 91 criminal indictments in three jurisdictions, I might be fighting against reality, too. So it makes sense that you’re too weak now to speak honestly to your fellow citizens.“
