Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Apparently now "a death is being investigated", which is a form of passive voice I have not yet encountered.

Also, "shelter in place" is one of those examples of American English that I really don't get. I suppose it's something from school shootings? Or hurricanes?

@gerikson Police state is coeming. Shelter in place citizen and await the civility drones.

In Texas, it certainly does not mean the police state is coming. If anything, maybe a come of hicks with badges to stand around for 15 minutes, but usually just means "stay were you are because we don't know wtf to do and aren't funded to do anything anyway."
