They should modify the saying "The only things that are guaranteed are death and taxes" to add "and older generations saying their music was the best"

I feel the same way. I'm appreciating genres I normally would have scoffed at when I was younger.

I'm struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.

I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don't think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.

Hopefully he's just biding his time and giving him enough rope to hang himself with.

So far Merchan has not seemed like a pushover in this trial and right now I trust he knows what he's doing.

Pay enough and staff correctly and the people will come. My wife is an RN. I know directly from her that most places don't do any of those things and still complain about shortages.

Who knew profit driven medical care was a bad idea /s

I get the feeling they're trying to avoid martyrdom. He needs to go to prison for the big things, not on technicalities.

I like to imagine op thinks the guy is sneaking in alcohol and buying an empty cup from the theater. The Texas man is pissed because he doesn't know what to do with the remaining 2 oz after he planned on their cup holding 24oz.

The only way he gets ousted is if all Democrats vote it as well. These articles assume that will be the case, but things are a bit different than with McCarthy. Time will tell, but I don't know if the Dems would all vote for it at this point. They may even do the opposite just to fuck with the far right members who are gunning for him, which would be fucking hilarious imo

This is how I'm leaning too. If done appropriately this should be no different than "this is a reenactment of events" seen in 90s and 00s true crime shows.

The big challenge is getting the content creators to respect that template and not bury the disclosure in the credits.
