So here is the argument I'm not hearing regarding reproductive rights...

The rethorical response of the GOP to the destruction of Roe v Wade by the Supreme Court is to claim that it's returning choice from the federal government to the states; stating that's what democracy is all about.

Well, if democracy is the argument, why not go all the way? Let each individual woman make the choice? Why should a state decide for all women living in the state?

Let's make it more democratic; let every woman make her own choice?

Why should a state decide what's right for all women in the state? Is that "democratic"?

Ainda - Still; Madredeus

Madredeus' song "Ainda" is a poetic exploration of the human experience, delving into themes of truth, friendship, adventure, and the enduring nature of hope and love. The lyrics, delivered in a contemplative and almost meditative tone, reflect on the various facets of life and the continuous search for meaning. The repetition of the word "ainda" (which means "still" or "yet" in Portuguese) emphasizes the ongoing nature of this quest, suggesting that despite the passage of time and the changes we undergo, certain fundamental aspects of our existence remain constant.

The song begins with the singer acknowledging the process of learning and discovering truths. This journey is marked by friendships and adventures, highlighting the importance of human connections and experiences in shaping our understanding of the world. The lyrics suggest that those who reach a deeper understanding or truth often find themselves distanced from their former selves, indicating a transformative process that comes with personal growth and change.

As the song progresses, it juxtaposes joy and sadness, fantasy and uncertainty, illustrating the dualities that characterize our lives. The mention of guarding love and hope without favor suggests that these emotions are precious and should be cherished and protected. The repetition of "ainda" at the end of the song reinforces the idea that this journey of discovery and the pursuit of truth and connection is never-ending. Madredeus, known for their ethereal and melancholic musical style, perfectly captures the essence of this timeless quest through their haunting melodies and introspective lyrics.

The translation is poor, so I'll try to make it better:

I'm saying
Certain Things
I'm learning
Certain others
They are truths
They are searches
Friendships
Adventures
That reach me
They live far
That change
Their name
Happiness
Will be pain
Fantasy
Will be uncertainty
They are truths
They are searches
Friendships
Adventures
That proceed
Guardians of love
Guardians of hope
Without reply
Still
Still
Still
Still

Watch out for major Bullshit from ChatGPT

What happened to the crew of the enola gay after their mission?

ChatGPT
After the Enola Gay's mission to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, the crew members returned to the United States. Here are the fates of some of the key crew members:

Colonel Paul Tibbets (Pilot):

Tibbets continued his career in the Air Force, eventually rising to the rank of Brigadier General. He retired from the Air Force in 1966 and passed away in 2007.
Captain Robert A. Lewis (Co-pilot):

Lewis stayed in the Air Force for a short time after the mission before moving into civilian life. He worked for various aviation-related companies and passed away in 1983.
Major Thomas Ferebee (Bombardier):

Ferebee remained in the Air Force, participating in the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War. He retired as a Colonel in 1970 and passed away in 2000.
Captain Theodore Van Kirk (Navigator):

Van Kirk also remained in the Air Force for some years, then left to pursue a career in the chemical industry. He passed away in 2014.
Staff Sergeant George Caron (Tail Gunner):

Caron left the military shortly after World War II, wrote a book about his experiences, and worked as a commercial photographer. He passed away in 1995.
Major Charles W. Sweeney (Commander of the mission but flew another plane, Bockscar, for the Nagasaki mission):

Sweeney stayed in the Air Force, retiring as a Major General in 1976. He was an outspoken advocate for the bombings and wrote a book about his experiences. He passed away in 2004.
Most of the crew members led relatively quiet lives after the war, with some continuing their military careers and others transitioning to civilian roles. The mission itself and its impact had a profound effect on all of them, with varying degrees of public visibility and personal reflection on their roles in the historic event.

which crew member of the enola gay either died in Milton MA, or was born there?
ChatGPT
Major Charles W. Sweeney, who was the commander of the mission but flew the plane Bockscar for the Nagasaki mission, was born in Milton, Massachusetts. He later became a Major General and passed away in 2004.

I thought he was born in Lowel
ChatGPT
You are correct. Major Charles W. Sweeney was indeed born in Lowell, Massachusetts. The crew member of the Enola Gay associated with Milton, Massachusetts, is Major Thomas Ferebee. He passed away in Milton, Massachusetts, in 2000.

No, he was born in Mocksville, North Carolina
ChatGPT
You are correct again. Major Thomas Ferebee was born in Mocksville, North Carolina. My apologies for the confusion.

Upon further checking, none of the main crew members of the Enola Gay were born in or died in Milton, Massachusetts. However, Theodore Van Kirk (the navigator of the Enola Gay) died in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The details regarding the connection to Milton, MA, seem to be unclear. If there is specific information or a detail you have, please share, and I can assist further.

is there a connection between Milton MA and either the hiroshima or the nagasaki bombings?
ChatGPT
Yes, there is a connection. Kermit Beahan, the bombardier on the Bockscar (the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki), passed away in Milton, Massachusetts, in 1989. While he was not a member of the Enola Gay crew, he played a significant role in the atomic bombings during World War II.

Kermit died in Clear Lake City, Texas
ChatGPT
You are right, Kermit Beahan passed away in Clear Lake City, Texas. The connection to Milton, MA, regarding the Hiroshima or Nagasaki bombings involves Jacob Beser. Jacob Beser was the only crew member to have flown on both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki missions. He passed away in 1992 in Baltimore, Maryland, but his connection to Milton, MA, was not as a resident or through his birth or death.

The specific connection to Milton, MA, remains unclear from the information provided. If there are other details you have or if there's another angle to explore, please let me know!

Unbeleivable!

I just corrected ChatGPT in a factual error about a movie

Q: movie about the smartest man in the world with brent spiner and john travolta

A: The movie you're thinking of is "The Phenomenon" (1996), starring John Travolta. However, Brent Spiner doesn't appear in that film. Instead, you're likely referring to "Phenomenon: The Lost Archives" (1998), a documentary series hosted by Brent Spiner, which explores various phenomena and mysteries.

In "Phenomenon," John Travolta plays George Malley, an ordinary man who suddenly becomes extraordinarily intelligent after seeing a bright light. His newfound abilities include telekinesis, learning new languages effortlessly, and an enhanced understanding of complex subjects. The film explores themes of human potential and the impact of extraordinary abilities on an individual's life and relationships.

Q: what actor performs as the tester in that film, if it wasn't brent spiner?
ChatGPT

A:In "Phenomenon" (1996), the actor who plays the role of Dr. Bob Niedorf, the neurologist who tests and examines George Malley (John Travolta), is Robert Duvall. Dr. Niedorf conducts tests to understand the source of George's extraordinary intelligence and abilities.

Brent Spiner does not appear in this film, and Robert Duvall’s character is the primary figure conducting medical and neurological evaluations on George Malley.

Q: does brent spiner interact with john travolta in the series phenomenon the lost archves?

A: Brent Spiner and John Travolta do not interact in the series "Phenomenon: The Lost Archives" (1998). This documentary series, hosted by Spiner, is entirely separate from Travolta's 1996 film "Phenomenon". Here’s a breakdown to clarify their roles and the context of each project:....

Q: you are mistaken. Brent Spiner plays the role of Dr. Bob Nierdof. Robert Duval plays the role of Doc Brunder.

A: Thank you for pointing that out! You are correct. Brent Spiner plays Dr. Bob Niedorf in the film "Phenomenon" (1996), and Robert Duvall plays Doc Brunder.

Here's a corrected breakdown of their roles:

Thank you for pointing that out! You are correct. Brent Spiner plays Dr. Bob Niedorf in the film "Phenomenon" (1996), and Robert Duvall plays Doc Brunder.

Here's a corrected breakdown of their roles:....

Q: will you correct your database so that you don't present this incorrect information again?

A: I’ve updated my information to reflect that in the film "Phenomenon" (1996):

Brent Spiner plays Dr. Bob Niedorf, the neurologist.
Robert Duvall plays Doc Brunder, the town doctor and George's friend.
Thank you for the correction! If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask!

Bottom line, don't take it at it's word; push back if you think it's giving you a line of BS.
