"The argument began when two groups of people grew agitated over the belief that people in the other group were staring at them, according to affidavits from police."

With commercial real estate prices about to collapse completely, Trump might be wise to give them the tower. Then when he wins the appeal, they have to pay him back for the building they stole at the value of the building when they stole it, and he can buy it back at the future collapsed value if he wants to go back into business in NYC for some reason.

Edited for several typos...

If those people are white, then it's ok to hate people who look like that?

Scraping it doesn't get deleted posts, which are a huge repository of data that isn't available by scraping. As just one example, the entire history of The Donald would be available for an AI to train on with a switch telling it everything there is misinformation from Nazis.

There are problems finding people who are capable of teaching middle school algebra? Wow, those mandatory master's degrees for teachers have really done wonders for the profession.

Back in the 90s, I was a software developer for a company that put together digital legal research systems, back when things were still on CD. We were approached by a representative of Ghana to digitize and build a system containing their limited caselaw. As we scanned and OCRed their books, and started putting the system together, I would read bits and pieces of cases. It was shocking to see cases that had to do with magic and curses being heard in the 1950s. And these weren't crazy people being prosecuted. The judges hearing these cases gave legal weight to claims of people putting curses on others.

Edit: I got to reminiscing about this period of my life and thought I'd add a bit more. As we were getting ready to finalize the system and press a whole lot of CDs, the plug got pulled on the whole thing. I had even gotten my yellow fever shots as prep for a trip there to demo the system. Then the 2000 election saw the Rawlings government ousted, and the new government started accusing the prior government of corruption. The guy who approached us to build system disappeared, hiding from the Ghanaian authorities. It's a shame, really. Consistent application of law is part of a stable society, and this would have been a big step forward in the accessibility of caselaw, for a country which had never had them available in a searchable archive before.

Just another reason why some people can't pull themselves up.

I see all of the various scored communities I follow through the main scored interface. I don't visit any individual domain, they're all intermingled on the main page. I just assumed everything was on the same server/farm.

If you try to knock me, you'll get mocked

I'll stir fry you in my wok

Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop

Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock

People like this, and there are millions of them, is why changing the people at the top won't fix the US. These cockroaches scurry from one dark place to another. You don't vote out the head cockroach. You exterminate them all.

If you and I sell the same $1 apple to each other ten times, we still have one apple, but we have a GDP of $10. Oh, and we had revenue of $5 each, so we still have one apple, but we both owe the government $2.

GDP is a lie. Deficit spending is included in GDP. So if the government borrows $7T to pay for the costs of these illegals, that's the GDP increase they're claiming.

To be fair, Accra in Ghana is a somewhat modern city.

To be be even more fair, it was a British colony until the 1950s known as the Gold Coast, and after independence Ghana turned into a typical African shithole of dictatorships and warring tribes.

Feminists, like all interest groups, just want their cut of the profits. If feminists can't make money from sexy video game characters, they'll make it by being against them.

Sex work is respectable, but sexy women in media is misogyny.
