The water didn't start off brackish. Parts of Thailand are sinking due to climate change making their land unfarmable. Her idea is that the farmers can still have a livelihood at least while things continue to go to shit for them. And growing rice that's more resistant to high salinity doesn't necessarily mean it's thriving either. But thanks for letting me know you're a massive asshole. At least I learned something I guess.

My friend got her doctorate engineering rice to grow in high salinity areas. The goal was to aid farmers near brackish water and without access to good farmland. Greenpeace would definitely not like that.

I spent about a decade working with refugees and had the same experience with Pakistani people. It felt like I was in bizarro world. They're waiting 10+ years to get to the US, and during that time Trump basically tries to ban refugee entries altogether, and they're still like, nope Trump's a great guy. I don't understand the world I guess.

Seeing that it's been explicitly stated that that's not the case, you strike me as a dude that cares less about the meaning of words than the opportunity to argue about them.

If you read the law you posted, it doesn't actually address the question of victimhood. Also, I don't really get why you're still trying to force an unrelated point into this part of the discussion. Maybe find another place in the thread where someone thinks it's legal and go talk to them.

While true, it also wasn't really what my post was responding to. Thanks though.

Having never used an AI generator, generic generated images wouldn't be an actual match to the dataset images, right? It would just be generating features it understands to be associated with the concept of a child, which would make the claim that the dataset children are the abuse targets a stretch, unless there's some other direct or indirect harm to them. An immediate exception being a person writing a prompt attempting to create a specific facsimile of an individual.

Thank you for putting the correct quote.

Not sure if it's what you're remembering, but adverse inference can be drawn when a party fails to present evidence known to exist by the court.

It's like he went to the Carlson school of 'just asking questions'.
