I don't want to sound political, but if we just allowed people to live their lives instead of trying to regulate certain kinds of consensual relationships, we would all be better off.

Some context: Kubilius is seen in Lithuania as a very controversial figure. He was instrumental in implementing overnight economic reforms that led to severe austerity measures in response to 2008 crisis.

While some people credit him with saving the country from borrowing expensive foreign loans and deeper crisis, others blame him for loss of benefits and pensions during the time of economic hardship.

The Soviets near completely eradicated the Baltic intelligentsia by killings and exiles into Siberia. Claiming that all those people had it coming for them is certainly a wild take. Most were exiled for simply being slightly richer than their neighbours.

My wife's grandparents were exiled somewhere near Murmansk, but were returned quite early because grandfather was a millman and Lithuanian SSR was short on those.

Close to me there is a place where on one side of the road, Nazis murdered the Jews and on another side, communists murdered Lithuanian intellectuals. The Nazi side had ruthless efficiency. The Soviet side had inhuman brutality.

Yes, but it would be an imperfect three-sided pyramid, unlike most pyramids that have ever been built that were four-sided.

There is a scene in a TV show called Person of Interest where an AI communicates with a younger character in a high frequency tone older characters around her can't hear. When I first watched it, I heard it. Now I don't.

There is also the argument that a downpour of AI generated slop is making the Internet in general less usable, hurting everyone (except the slop makers) by making true or genuine information harder to find and verify.
