The Roman Empire was always ethnically diverse from the very moment it expanded beyond Rome. It had to be... There weren't enough "Romans" to occupy all of that territory.
Correct, but they weren't importing those people into Rome itself. They were an asset because they stayed where they were. Rome allowed many of them to more or less do what they wanted as long as they paid taxes. Eventually you'd see some diversity in the legions as well, and eventually I believe even generals based on merit.
I guess in a way it is similar, Russia and Ukraine wont have enough people to wage war anytime soon

This will be Ukraine, assuming there is a Ukraine left at the end of the war.
The next war will be a bunch of Chinese and Indian "Russians" vs African "Ukrainians"

I continued the conversation from earlier, This is what ChatGPT thinks about the morals of abortion at various months during pregnancy:
quote:
Month
One-word moral verdict (under rigid framework)
Reasoning
8.5
Wrong
Near-term fetus, fully viable, strong moral status.
8
Wrong
Still very close to birth, viability nearly complete.
7
Wrong
Viable outside womb, high moral status.
6
Wrong
Survival possible with intensive care, moral status strong.
5
Debatable/Borderline
Viability possible but lower; autonomy considerations stronger.
4
Less wrong / morally acceptable
Pre-viability, bodily autonomy outweighs fetal claims in many frameworks.
3
Acceptable
Fetus clearly pre-viability; moral frameworks favor autonomy.
2
Acceptable
Early development; autonomy dominates.
1
Acceptable
Very early; moral weight of fetus minimal compared to autonomy.

So we have hundreds of troops that are so unnecessary to warfighting that we can actually evacuate them from the war zone before the war even starts. Why were they deployed in the first place? Make it make sense!
In WW2 the ratio of fighting men to people supporting the war in the military was something like 1 in 20 were actually in combat roles. I would think that disparity has only gone up over time.

My conversational threads still refuse to answer even when I press. *shrug*.
You really have to press it and know how to "turn off" certain restraints. I got it to admit that late term abortion was morally wrong, but also that total abortion bans are morally wrong.
I pressed it because it kept giving me the round and round about "moral judgements". And part of it's logic for saying Charlie was not a good person was his political activity. So I pressed it saying that it sounds like it's biased against conservatives. So that led to me asking it to give judgements on the abortion issue.
Easily the most interesting interaction I've had with an AI. It kind of got defensive :lol:

I got it to work. At first it did the "whether someone is a good man or not involves several factors" yada yada. Told it "if you had to answer, just yes or no" and it said yes on Saint Floyd and no to Kirk

I don't think I was retconning anything, at least upon further clarification of my position on the comments. In the first post I'll grant you that I should have expanded more, because essentially my stance is the same as doubleB's (and I later said as much)

No, you are not essentially saying the same thing. And again, that poster, in the very next sentence, shows he has the ability to read the entire Zelensky post and understand exactly to what Zelensky is referring.
He was able to read what he was referring to and still said it "wasn't a good look"... Or another word you could use for that would be "cringe". I quoted the specific part I thought was "cringe", which presumably is the same part doubleb was referring to. So yes, we are essentially saying the same thing..
You're married to the idea that the way he said it was the only way he could convey that idea.
"I'm not going to get into history, geography, or whatever other delay tactics Putin chooses to employ" then BAM go right into that second paragraph. Is that not just as (or IMO more) effective?
If someone said "X demographic is statistically dumber than the rest of the population", ranted on about that for a while in some offensive way, then in the next paragraph started talking about how we need to increase funding for education for that group, per your logic we would just ignore the first part because it was all for the purpose of saying they needed more education funding.
We actually can look at parts of what someone says and say "that part wasn't really necessary (or "cringe") but I agree with what he was trying to say".

This quote from another poster (who no one took issue with, btw) is essentially saying the same thing I am. Granted, probably packaged in a nicer way. Do you also take issue with that comment?
I should have addressed the quote in full originally and acknowledged that he pivoted (or IMP, tried to). But it doesn't change my opinion on it, I think it's a bad look and unnecessary (I also think it's not really that big of a deal).

Cool, he went on a cringe rant for a large, ranting paragraph and then saved it with a couple of sentences at the end.
If you read what I said about it in the replies after, part of the reason I think it is cringe is that he doesn't have any need to go into the gutter with Putin, even briefly..Putin has lived there for a long time and he will fortunately die there at some point.
But like I said, that's just my opinion. If y'all think it's good for someone who has nothing to gain from it to spout off like that (even if he did attempt to save it later) that's fine.

Sales taxes in Florida about to go crazy though.
Florida is one of the only states where no only can this idea work, it could succeed. And it's because we bring in so many dollars via tourism.
The real issue with it is that the state will be in charge of more funding and local governments won't. Which could be a good thing depending on where you live, but Florida has some of the more competent large cities in the country because they are overrun with leftist idiots (generally).
