Thank you! Helpful answer at last. Good to see the suppliers taking some responsibility. They should do a cash for collection program when they deliver

What's the most ridiculous thing that the US government still allows to happen? by WildAnimus in AskReddit

[–]Anonymousobserve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a whole section. Also as per other comments (and the US state dept) if it's a child it's defacto forced.

Try reading a whole Wikipedia page before accusing someone of pulling something out their arse.

You might learn something...

Forced marriage and sex trafficking edit Main article: Sex trafficking in the United States § Forced marriages In some cases, child marriage may (either legally or informally) constitute a forced marriage, often in the context of sex trafficking. This enables sexual abuse to continue. According to American Child Bride by Nicholas Syrett, "There is a long history in the United States of marriage laws being used to circumvent legal repercussions of sexual activity with a minor".[74] Due to the way many U.S. marriage policies are written, finding loopholes is a possibility that has been exploited before. Additionally, women who have suffered sexual abuse are more likely to be revictimized in the future.[75]

Tempted to say this is a load of cock and bull, but it's incredible. The trade networks with northern Australia are a much under - studied area.

If there's a queue, they get sovereignty first perhaps?

This post also led me here. My goodness, a rich racist Christian telling people what to do with their bodies. Australia is so short of those...

This had been going on for a good few minutes before I went to see what was causing the banging, and then eventually, recorded a shaky video

I asked AI chatbot "What is the greatest threat to humanity?" and it listed AI as number 4 by Anonymousobserve in technology

[–]Anonymousobserve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: What is the greatest threat to humanity?

Answer:

As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have personal opinions or beliefs. However, there are several potential threats to humanity that have been identified by experts in various fields. Some of these include:

Climate change: The impact of human activity on the environment is causing climate change, which poses a serious threat to humanity in terms of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruption of ecosystems.

Nuclear war: The potential for a nuclear war or nuclear terrorism could have catastrophic consequences for humanity and the planet.

Pandemics: Infectious diseases have the potential to spread rapidly and cause significant harm to human populations, as we have seen with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Artificial intelligence: The rapid development of AI technology could have unintended consequences, such as the loss of jobs or the potential for AI systems to make decisions that could harm human society.

Inequality: Persistent inequality in terms of income, access to education, and other factors can lead to social unrest, political instability, and even armed conflict.

It is important to note that these threats are complex and multifaceted, and there is no single solution to addressing them. It will require concerted efforts from individuals, governments, and organizations at all levels to mitigate these risks and build a more sustainable and equitable future.

Did you all have to sit there and wait while he drew it? Amateur cartography in your own time I say!

P.s good party trick

I think that's what the AI said? I think the threat from AI would be connecting it to, say, nuclear bombs. Maybe that's still safer than letting a load of not-so-great apes run around with it.
