The indexing problem has been fixed. Well there are other issues but the main ones have been addressed :-) I don't know what you mean by an embedding box?

Yeah the title is not in the index that was generated in fact Tomi herself in not in the index. That is a problem that I need to look into sooner than later. Thanks for taking the time to point that out.

Happy Birthday Connie! You are blessed to have such a sharp mind, still willing to learn new things and explore new tech including AI. Many people 1/2 your age are less capable mentally--seriously.

Oh, on the contrary: Tomi Adeyemi is one of the top-selling authors on AALBC--indeed the nation. Now this begs the question: Why did you think she was not on the website?

I wasn't aware of the film -- thanks

Well, I'm a baby boomer but I can relate to much of what was said in the video. I only watched about 1/2 of it as there was nothing particular revelatory about it and it was getting redundant. Plus it struck me as AI. I apparently was not as moved by it as you were. Sure, shit is hard for a lot of older Black men, what else is new? It is not just Black men. I see a lot of white seniors greeting folks at walmat, driving ubers, working checkout at Costco, I doubt people do these jobs for just something to do. I know a few retirees who make more money in retirement than they did working -- usually some disability claim in involved...

Alcohol reduces inhibitions... man you act like you never drank to excess or been around someone who has. Making the leap to possession is absurd. One would have though experience would have taught you that. Dude! You do this all the time -- without exception you cite a source claiming to support an assertion of yours and it DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE. I have pointed this out to you previously that is when I started calling you incorrigible. Did you even read the study? Seriously, tell the truth. I actually read it before I responded to you the first time. Read it. The paper CLEARLY states patients switch to a secondary language in which they have some proficiency... Again, you want to believe these people are possessed so you cite paper you have not read and share video of lay people taking shit. FLS is not possession! SMH, oh my goodness... Between you and Franster this week LOL! No, I do not believe in a spirit that could be trapped in a bottle coke bottle or gain it's freedom only after granting you three wishes. I do not reject the idea of spirits at all. I just don't believe they are responsible for FLS, the behavior of black out drunks, or any of the other conditions you have attributed simply because there are more reasonable explanations available. Occam's Razor, Brother.

We still talkin' 'bout Puffy here? Clearly you are unfamiliar with this story. This is not just based upon hoover statements. Hoover attempted to use this information against MLK. LOL! I'm completely satisfied never giving the entire Dollar store franchise, nationally, another penny. I got a nicer (obviously) bottle later that day from a more respectable establishment 😁

You're speaking with a forked tongue or don't know what anecdote means. The story you related is an anecdote. It is interesting fodder for a conversation, but irrelevant to understanding what is really going on. For that you need data and for the prison population we have pretty good data: Here is peer reviewed research from the Journal of the American Medical Association, which reports that from April 2020 through April 2021, the age- and sex-standardized COVID-19 mortality rate was about 2.5 to 3 times higher among people in prison. Here The European Medicines Agency (EMA) states plainly: A vaccine against an infectious disease is not considered a gene therapy, as it does not aim to restore, correct or modify human genes. Therefore, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are not considered gene therapies. Now you are free to reject all of these facts, but you must understand at that point we are no longer having a meaning or serious conversation. Because a using a clip, taken out of context, but a technically illiterate CEO speaking sloppy about gene therapy is insufficient to reject the science. Wouldn't you agree Frankster? BTW: Is the reason you have not visited Africa is because of the vaccines or is there another reason cost, obligations at home, afraid of being eaten by a cannibal (I'm assuming you are Black)?

@ProfD Since I don't allow people, who can't be bothered to create an account, post message. This is entirely due to the fact that the site would be completely overrun with spam. Spammer create account but I kill them before they can post. Anywho... You'll be pleased to know that someone reported your comment writing; "This post is clearly full of racism and calling for hate towards a specific color of people are absolutely insane. That post is contradicting themselves. Let’s keep spreading hate amongst color." 🙂

This year? Please share a link or tell us where you read this. I found this story, "A Black woman was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi," from just a few days ago. The same article referenced a white man found hanging from a tree, this just a few hours after a Black student was found hanging from a tree on DSU's campus. That is three within the past year in Just MS alone. None of these instances were attributed to foul play. The NAACP reports, based upon data from Tuskegee, that in the 86-year period from 1882 to 1968 that there were 581 documented (which means there were probably more) lynchings in MS--that is more that 1 every two weeks for nearly a century. Mississippi God Damn!

The military videos have already been shared here... Calling everything from schizophrenia to drunkenness is just a renaming of possession makes no sense -- where is your scientific objectivity?

Stefan Oelrich said the Mrna is an example of gene therapy and cell therapy. It can't be both because they are two completely different things -- this is just a fact These are facts too some of this stuff is taught in high school DNA is not equal to RNA Genes are part of DNA The Covid Vaccine 19 do not work with or alter DNA, not even the MRNA vaccine. Gene Therapy is used, but not with any Covid vaccines Stefan Oelrich is not a doctor or a scientist. Indeed there is not evident of any technical training in his background. The clip was too short to understand what point he was trying to make. But in this short clip he was speaking sloppily--perhaps from a lack of understanding. Unfortunately, anti-vaxxers are using this clip to cause death to others through the propagation of misinformation. Cognitive dissonance for stressful to most people, so they usually reject anything that conflicts with their world view, Do you know any medical professionals? Did they tell you anything about all the people who died from Covid or did they tell you about the grand conspiracy to misattribute COVID deaths? Sure, that is possible, but that is certainly not the case with the covid vaccine or any other others we normally take and that have been used to greatly extend human life by eradicating diseases like smallpox, polio, etc. No surprise you believe MMR Vaccine causes autism. I'll admit, I have no idea what, "..preservatives adjuvants stabilizers by products cell line DNA sequence module" even mean. Obfuscation is also a tactic of a weak argument. Do you even believe that Polio was even a problem? It killed and parlayed thousands of American in 1952 alone You can talk to people who are alive now, like me, who know people crippled by polio (@aka Contrarian would remember this period). LOL, Phuleese, I think you are projecting. I'm not taking this, in the least bit, personally. I'm learning a lot. Besides, you are conflating gene therapy with covid MRNA vaccines what do you know about "Scientific Objectivity?" Holy Cow! I'm at a loss... I have no idea how to respond, as I've never encountered, in real life, anything so crazy. Is this candid camera? Are you pulling my leg, yanking chain, or trying to wind me up? I know and have spoken with a few people who refused to take the vaccine a couple of them got covid multiple times and got really sick. God only knows how many others they infected who got sick or died. One person I know has long covid and wish they took the vaccine. Of those I know who died I don't know what their position was on taking the vaccine... Personally, I took the vaccine a few times, and I never got covid. But I've never had the flu either. I also know a couple of people who still wear masks in public. I think those who wore masks while walking alone outside or alone in driving in a car may have been taking things to the other extreme. 😊

@Tesa I know what you mean. My Google smart speakers now use AI and they are much more useful. But they will often ask follow-up questions or probe for more detail; they are just trolling for more training data by getting you to engage more.

You got white people tryin' to kill you man? Remember most murders occur within ethnicities. So-called white people murder other white people. You should watch fewer videos like the one you posted, it is distorting your perception of reality. I'm not sure what the motivation is for these folks to be spreading this nonsense, for lack of a better word, on social media. I get the brother is he probably making money, but the women whose videos he shared to bolster his point what are they getting out of it? Now I'm not suggesting you be the only Black person at a Klan rally... Related Side Bar: A few days ago I was in a hotel in Vegas in the lobby was a SEA of white people on a line. I had no idea what they were waiting for, but I saw one sista sister. I looked at her trying to make eye contact as I walked by and she looked through me. I thought that was odd. She was with a white boy, so I figured that might be the reason. A couple of hours later I came back to the hotel and noticed swole dudes with ears pieces and dogs, SWAT vehicles and that same line was still moving! Looking more closely I began to notice red, white and blue and I saw someone sporting a MAGA hat. I was like, yo! Trump must be here. I spotted another sister. The only two Black people or people of ANY color I saw on that long ass line. Those two sistas were derranged, but perfectly safe :-)

Yeah, I think that was because Puffy did not pay him what he was owed. But that could just be a rumor... I seem to recall learning that in some documentary about Puff. After seeing him kick that woman's butt in the hotel hallway, it was hard to see him in a positive light again.

I had to look up "prolapsed uteruses" The uterus can extend outside the vagina -- Yikes!

Really? China does allow foriegn ownership of real estate. HHowever the Chinesse are perhaps the largest for foriegn owners of real estate in the US. Ther US buys far more from VChina than they buy from us. How do white folks "own" China?

OK, I just read the article; what conclusions did you draw from it? They say the data is self-reported, which you have to take with a grain of salt. They say the number of NILFs has increased since 1965, but so has the population, they don't appear to control for that. They include people in school in those numbers. It makes no sense to mix people getting an education with those who are not working and not looking for work How many of these men are independently wealthy and don't need to work? Again, the real question is what conclusions are you drawing from the article ot leads you to believe that UBI will create more NEETS?

I don't know any off the top of my head. I guess Neets and I travel in different circles. Wait, what? You're an anti-vaccer too? Surely I knew this, and you fit the profile, but I guess I just forgot. I don't know about that. The NEET lifestyle -- the dependency of an able-bodied-adult on someone else -- requires a child-like mentality. Mature adults can support themselves and take pride in doing it. Adults are not going to just opt into the NEET mentality because the government is passing out checks. It will be used for temporary support for whatever reason, illness, education...

Great story. "...prettiest girl that had ever spoken to me." I love that line in this context 70 years later. Glad it was not followed up with something like. "...and we've been married 65 years." "Thus fortified, I joined the Marines a year later." was a surprising follow-up :-)

What?! I step away for a few days... It seems to me women benefit the most from marriage, as the man is expected to pay for everything and usually dies years before the wife as a result. Sure, the woman may be expected to handle the house and the kids, but often these activities are outsourced, with the man paying for that too. Of course, when the marriage ends--legally or otherwise--the woman usually makes out better than the man. I definitely understand that, but I was financially far less well off. The regular Brothers I know who are most well off are those who were (1) never married; and (2) married and never divorced. Of course it would. If a woman initiates eye contact and smiles, that is the universal signal to come approach me; I'm interested. Period. LOL! Oh no, don't go down this road with @Pioneer1 he does not believe any of the science on this subject--he has done his own research. Here too, a belief in a caucasian "race" would lead to flawed conclusions like this. Sure, there are groups of people: the Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German, etc who have exhibited a level of violence in pursuit of land and resources that is quite remarkable, but we are talking about a relatively short period of time. Most of the cultures have been neutered and are shells of their former colonial selves. Did the French, for example, become dumb in the last 100 years?

That is a BIG deal! You may have had an impact on white readers that a Black writer would not have had the opportunity to make.

Hi Phil, I'm sorry but we are not going to do the free book review for The Short Happy Life of Wyatt Outlaw, despite the fact that I believe it deserves to be reviewed. The challenge for use is that "free" reviews,, like commissioned reviews, take resources. Reviewers are all paid for their work and of course there is my time. Free reviews are not really "free." So, like many other platforms, we are very selective when it comes to deciding which books we will review at no cost to the author. I trust you understand. In any case you've made me and many other aware of your book and Wyatt Outlaw, so the request was certainly not in vain 🙂 I know that is why I'm trying to raise awareness. With AI it takes very little effort to do this kind of thing. My problem is that I post a 1,000+ word article on an indie website. All the literature today says this is too long an article, as people do not read things this long. More than 1,000 people clicked on the article and if 10% read it that is great. Most of the feedback I've received has been positive but most of that can in via email. RE: Black Twitter everyone I talk to about if from the perspective of what happened to it, does not buy into my premise. The presumption is that my premise is wrong; Twitter is where journalists go for news. ☹️

Would you blow somebody for a billion dollars? It was a rhetorical question, but I know the answer given your other statements. Everybody has their price I guess. Pulp fiction was one of my favorite movies. I’ve probably watched it five or six times. Samuel L Jackson makes Tarantino‘s films, if you took him out of Django unchained it would just be an OK movie to me.
