Law enforcement is not permitted to randomly pull over vehicles. They provided no justification. This is clearly illegal.

His actions show he is absolutely not.

They are not popular. Like 30% of the voting eligible public voted for him.

No it's more of a technical discussion. Many people might believe that in order to avoid toxicity, you just train a model on "good" non-toxic data and then apply toxicity removal techniques to address emergent toxicity that the model might spit out. This paper is saying they found it more effective to train the model on a small percentage of "bad" toxic data on purpose, then apply those same toxicity removal techniques. For some reason, that actually generated less total toxicity. It's an interesting result. A wild guess on my part, but I'm thinking training the model with toxic content "sharpened" the toxicity when it was generated, making it easier for those removal tools to identify it.

I don't know about other states, but in upstate New York a village is a legal entity that is a defined area within a town. A town is a subdivision of a county.

In other states, I think they don't fully subdivide counties. So every person in one of those states either lives in an unincorporated part of a county, or a town/city. Those who live unincorporated are only governed by the county, while those in towns/cities are governed by both town and county.

So in New York there are no unincorporated parts of counties. Everyone lives in a town, which is part of a county. Some people may also live in villages, which are areas in towns.

Edit: for example, the village of Seneca Falls is in the town of Seneca Falls, which is in the county of Romulus.

They don't actually care about the unborn either. They just want women to suffer, that's always been the only goal.

Neither is derivative of the other, they both grow from a common source. It's like saying humans evolved from chimps, it's not true, both came from a common ancestor that itself is neither chimp or human.

Technically all wars are "border disputes."

WW2? Dispute over Germany's borders.

American civil war? Dispute over whether the border between the Union and Confederate existed.

War in Afghanistan? Dispute over the borders of Taliban administration.

Probably Alien Dawn, it's basically a 3D Rimworld clone

As is always the case with fascists, the laws will apply to the people they don't like and be ignored for the people they do like. So long as Victoria's Secret's CEO continues paying the bribes, it's not porn.

Nah that's wrong, this is pervasive in every culture and throughout history. Every generation complains about the next because they don't do the same things the same way as the previous one. Entire countries did this, a kingdom that was less prosperous or lost territory was failing and in decline.

I think the root cause is an innate human fear of change and loss.

Nah that's been proven as bullshit. In ICE vehicles brakes will always win vs engine torque. Just think; how quickly does your car go from 0-60, and how quickly can it go from 60-0? Brakes are just more powerful than ICE engines in production cars. They have to be to meet braking distance regulations. So, even with the accelerator down and engine going full throttle, brakes should still stop a car.

Now I'm not sure about electric cars, some of them have incredible torque and are designed to use regenerative braking. The disk brakes might just be supplemental and not strong enough.
