  1. Yes, I was curious too as there was nothing on the label to distinguish it from any other wine I had in the house. Yes, but you don't drink it, which is why I considered your example extreme. Well Judgement is human nature -- a necessary part of survival.
  2. @Troy good fun thank you yeah, well as I know, what some people call artificially intelligent are merely interpretive programs with the memory capacity plus computative speed to make the foolish think it is intelligent. The data that is used to modulate the heuristic functions of pixlr as well as the heuristic functions themselves have led to the production of "thick" black women. Each computer program varies under the skin. I love those mutants:) at least pixlr didn't synthesize three cheeks:) I think that might be considered rude
  3. Here is one. Interestingly, all of the images depicted "thick" Black women in the application I used Pixlr. This image features a sista with two legs and three feet 🙂
  4. The WHO, AHA, or CDC does not issue the report for individuals nor was my question for individuals, so I'll leave it as is, though I don't quite understand why you can answer it. Can you explain? @frankster, cutting someone open with a knife is not go for you, but in the context of surgery it is. Why go off the deep end with your examples? I specifically mentioned red wine. If you mentioned beer or spirits, I could see it, but "Viricide fungicide and bactericide..." Come on man does anyone even drink that stuff. I brought some cheap wine-in-a-box at Costco and every time I drink this particular wine -- no exception it triggers AFib. So I stopped drinking it. I'm also considering cutting alcohol out altogether. This would be a major change to my life-style, but not worth having a stoke or heart attack to continue. Today when I look older videos and movies and see people smoking everywhere it just seems crazy. Looking back it is hard to believe we did that to ourselves. I think in the future when we look back at these times seeing people drinking so much we will look just as crazy.
  5. An occasional goblet of red wine can mellow you out and, in doing so, temporarily chase your cares away. How bad can that be? What do medical authorities know? They're just people who the wine industry doesn't have in their pockets. Put em in check, RFK! Drinking a little of "the grape" can't be any worse than getting a covid vaccine! CHEERS! 😛😵
  6. Well, the arena of America's sports world reflects its national character. Everybody loves a winner, the roaring crowds in agreement with the "winning not being everything, but the only thing" slogan that mocks the nice guys who finish last. And lip service is all that comes into play when it involves being a good sport. Unfortunately, this is the nature of the beast, and the.law of the jungle that is the real world. Bottom line: Winner takes all. Losers eat crow. Pass Kamala the salt, Joe. Behind closed doors, this has never been a country that practiced what it preached about the merits of integrity, - platitudes uttered against the backgroud of the star-spangled banner fluttering in the breeze, Soul stirring images, indeed, but politics, is a dirty business as Donald Trump proves. He regained the presidency because he epitomizes what the majority of his countrymen represent: Folks who do anything they can get away with in the pursuit of status and financial gain, 2 main ingredient of the American dream. Fuck scruples.They don't pay the bills. "Honesty is the best policy" is a recipe for payday-to-payday mediocrity. Have at it, Suckers! I've never been patriotic, yet I did imagine the Free Press as a pillar of independence that adhered to journalistic standards because I was desperate to have SOMETHING to believe in. But when TIME magazine sanitizes Donald Trump, when MSNBC obeys his back and call, when ABC agrees to pay him 15 million dollars to settle a character defamation suit, disgust was all I was left with! In addition, Corporate America gives all indication of closing ranks around him, ready to kiss the ring of this pants-shitting scoundrel who is avenging past slights, filling posts in his rag tag administration with a bunch of unqualified lackeys cut from the same tattered cloth as he is. Shame on America! And the hapless Democrats might as well throw in the towel. They are part of the problem, not the solution. The tide will turn, but it will do so on its own when corruption eventually destroys itself. Ho-Hum.
  7. I saw an article in a local Jewish newspaper (Long Island) about Harriet Tubman becoming a one-star brigadier general in the Maryland Army National Guard on Veterans Day (Monday, November 11, 2024). After an online search, I found this wonderful history book about the Combahee River Raid during the US Civil War and thoroughly enjoying learning more about Tubman and this important event.
  8. Asians constitute 60% of the world population. Of course, anything Asians produce domestically can do very well financially. Pushing it abroad just brings more money. OTOH, the US spends a ton of money marketing films internationally.😎
