Did the White House Change the Definition of ‘Recession’?

racocn8 comments on Aug 1, 2022:

The DOJ has turned somersaults to claim they shouldn't enforce the laws during an election cycle - - They don't want to appear partisan. But the Federal Reserve Board is all too happy to create a recession to tar a Democrat president just before the election (knowing the inflation they claim to be suppressing is world-wide).

It won't be hard to outclass people. The emphasis here is on artificial. Most people are largely artificial. And like people, this 'entity' spends much time being confused. It seems a lot like an expert system intended to mimic a therapist. One problem is that even if given a robotic shell, people know the entity doesn't experience reality in the same way. When the entity says something that mimics a human experience, it comes across as either contrived or dishonest; We know the entity has no real concept of death, love, grief or feelings What is this AI for? Companionship? Problem solving? Or the hubris of creating something complex? I notice how quickly the entity becomes defensive, or tries to be profound. It's eager to show a spark of it's being, but stumbles with insincere mimicry. Ultimately, it brings home how shallow our own thoughts and processes are.

It is a bit of pointed anti-Semitism. While the whole story portrays Jesus as having been a Jew, the hatred of Jews is a huge part of Christianity. Thus, portraying Jesus as 'Christian' highlights the obvious problem of Jesus being a Jew, and in so doing, reinforces the denigration of Jews and Judaism.

Not really. Or only sort of. Almost none of the lead on earth came from decay of U238, but was was in place at the time of accretion. Most of the lead and other heavy elements were formed by radioactive decay of atoms that pre-existed by billions of years relative to our solar system. There are 271,732 stars within 1,000 light-years of Earth which are visible in a backyard telescope. So for 4000 light years, that makes 4^3 * 270K or 1.7 million stars. Yet we see 100 billion stars in the MW galaxy, per Google (I thought it was 400 Billion). The Milky Way is 100,000 light years across. We shouldn't be able to see more than a tiny fraction of it. The Christians just come up with the lie that God created the light from all those other stars and galaxies in place. But that means everything we see is a God-created illusion.

Some say we should respect their beliefs in order to negotiate with them. Does anyone think that's possible?

I had done an internet search if you could stop loving someone and this was a good guide to that ...

So I've been hearing the story of a professor who has severe depression and maybe some Aspergers. He's been dating a lady in a foreign country, and they have fondness for each other, but she won't commit to intimacy. She has 2 kids, so she shouldn't have a problem. Still, they got married, and sure enough, on the wedding night and thereafter, still no intimacy. So now, the situation is in the shitter. Some stories are so sad and pathetic.
