If what you are saying is even true (a quick google showed it's not), this seems like it's likely a specific case of moderation and not censorship.

That's very much a false equivalency as pregnancy and miscarriage is not contagious.

I wouldn't compromise on my bodily autonomy, neither should women. It's simple. You making it more complicated is what ensures this fight will continue.

Stop trying to introduce nuance to a topic where there is none. It should be entirely left up to the woman and her doctor.

The "abortion" issue is very poor marketing and I don't understand why this has never been corrected. It's not about unwanted children, it's more about the 1/5 chance a woman has of miscarrying and what happens after (along with the array of other pregnancy related issues).

The problem is not using drugs. The problem is committing crimes while using drugs. Some people can use drugs and avoid crime. Others use drugs and commit crime.

You forgot those who commit crimes in an effort to use drugs. I think treatment inside jail (or some controlled environment) is probably your best bet. If you have someone who's addiction is clouding their judgement, they might say anything just to stay out of jail, but how do you get them to follow through?

Right. Mine was planted almost 40 years ago by the previous owner and does not smell or produce fruit.

I have one in my yard and it doesn't smell at all. It also doesn't produce fruit.

The trajectory of the ship seemed near perfect right up until just before the bridge where I suspect it experience it's mechanical issue.

This is one of the more sensible comments in this thread. Instead of looking at the technical tweaks that need to take place, let's just fall into the trap of the culture warrior and pretend to be offended.

I had a grad school class that involved some math (encryption algorithms). To help understand some concepts I would check in with Chat GPT and use it as another resource along with the text, lectures, and youtube. At one point I used it to check some of the math and I noticed was that it simply did not do math well. It seemed to understand the steps (or most), but the numbers would just be wrong. So if any students out there just blindly pasted the results without checking, they would be wrong.

FYI - This was not GPT4.
