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.]

I'm really sorry. During 2018 Irish feminists were really looking to Poland, there was even an Irish "Strike for Repeal" modelled on the Polish women's strike. Horrific stories are leaking out from America too. I really think Irish abortion activists need to do more to show solidarity with countries where abortion is threatened or banned.

well, we just had elections and new govt is expected to at least reverse the worst bits. this won't happen until early next year tho. (still) currently governing PiS took a hit in polls from some 42% to some 30% due to these bans and subsequent protests in 2020-2021, from which they never recovered and that cost them elections. you could say it kinda works just not as fast as everyone would like it

bonus side effect: now, solely due to that fundamentalist fuckery, there's more support of not only going back to what was before, but going in line with other euro countries ie unrestricted access to abortion

Great to hear that. I did hear about the recent election but wasn't sure where things were, what Tusk's views are etc.

This is one of the most pressing issues for all parties in coalition, even for christian democrats. This, and relations with EU
