So we committed genocide against the Iraqi's, right?

By this definition, did we commit genocide against the Iraqi's? Also, is Russia's invasion of Ukraine demonstrably worse or less justified than our invasion of Iraq?

More like our government fully understands how to weaponize social media to spread their bullshit, and how valuable it is for mass control and surveillance. We're more than ok with our social media platforms because of this usefulnes

No, in an evolving situation you don't lie, you say "we don't know", or "we are hoping this will help". When you say "vaccinated people don't carry the virus" and you are the head of the CDC or

Is that in-between drive-by shootings that kill neighborhood kids? I'm sure the neighborhood easily forgives a murdered 12-year old when they see a block party paid for by the gang members.

> It wasn't a lie, it was a mistake. No. The data never showed at any time that vaccines prevented infection or transmission. That was never a thing, we were told it was a thing, but no data sets ever showed that to be true.

Except in that instance you would be depriving him of that thing. Making a digital copy of what he has would no more deprive him of that thing than taking a picture of his painting on the wall.

Why would it be the same as voice? Siri/Alexa etc didn't do anything different than convert speech to text and text to speech. You get the same response typing it into a search bar. I never really used voice assistants because I&#
