i just hope somebody notices when it happens.

imagine two chatbots meeting on a thread.

actually, i think we may have already had that.

i will suggest that 90% of married anglo businessmen who travel without their wives in se asia are sex tourists.

exactly.

the more i ponder it, the more sensible seems a lawsuit alledging conspiracy between leos and vigilantes that night.

right. back to your own personal credibility, your ability and willingness to reason from your own anecdotal experience, and report in an unbiased fashion.

i have seen photos of uyghur people. any or all of the people in blue could be uyghur.

the jury in the criminal trial was openly tampered with by the judge.

they should have named the judge in the conspiracy suit as well.
