    Clemence statement

    Respectfully disagree. ChatGPT would have "balanced' the statement with expressions of undying love, unyielding hate, and all points in between. While x, it is still possible to argue y, although many have suggested that neither y nor x tells the full story.

    “You think, or you like to think?” That seems to leave me thick, dishonest or fooling myself. I’m doing my best. Agree on the “little platoons” of society but I was thinking more in terms of neighbours watching out for each other, showing up for the discussion of the new bus stop, pulling...

    You don't want them looking at you like that at our age, Alex. They're imagining us nicely laid out in our best, and thinking about the life insurance. Ten years from now, they could be thinking about eating us.

    . I'm torn on this, since so many of those who are active in politics strike me as utterly weird and unrepresentative (especially in the US where the committed row about Racism, Sexuality, Faith, and the Death Penalty from their various non-negotiable standpoints). Even on here, the most...
