Someone at the other place would be having a cow over this thread!

You’d probably be put out to pasture for a few months.

"Selling" seems too much like "slavery" - the other cows would cancel you if you did that.

When I was in my band, we toyed with the idea of a Steely Dan tribute band. We did their stuff pretty well, but thing I recall most from it was labeling certain notes and chords "Steely Dan notes". In a loose jam, inevitably they would show up.

My first exposure was Do It Again and I knew little else for a long time. Then I discovered Hey 19, FM, and Rikki Don't Lose That Number. It all grew from there.

Ask it to write a 300 word essay on the positive attributes of Donald Trump.

I had to ask that about 5 times before it would do anything.

It's about time you figured it out. I have them on vinyl, and haven't bought a recording since the early 80's.

Just tried it...

Quote:
Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has undoubtedly left a significant impact on American politics and society. While opinions about him vary widely, there are several positive attributes that can be acknowledged.

Firstly, Donald Trump's unwavering determination and resilience are notable traits. Throughout his career, he has faced numerous setbacks and challenges but has always demonstrated a remarkable ability to bounce back and persevere. This resilience is evident in his business ventures, where he built a successful empire despite facing bankruptcy and other obstacles.

Secondly, Trump's willingness to challenge the status quo and disrupt traditional political norms has garnered him a dedicated following. He entered politics as an outsider, promising to shake up Washington and give a voice to the overlooked segments of society. His ability to connect with voters who felt disenfranchised by the political establishment was a key factor in his unexpected rise to the presidency.

Moreover, Trump's economic policies were credited with spurring economic growth and reducing unemployment rates during his tenure. His administration implemented tax cuts and deregulation measures aimed at stimulating business investment and job creation. While opinions may differ on the long-term effectiveness of these policies, there is no denying that they had a positive impact on the economy in the short term.

Additionally, Trump's foreign policy initiatives, such as brokering peace deals in the Middle East and taking a tough stance on China's trade practices, were praised by some as bold and effective. His willingness to engage directly with foreign leaders and prioritize American interests resonated with many supporters who felt that previous administrations had been too passive on the global stage.

In conclusion, while Donald Trump's presidency was marked by controversy and polarization, it is important to recognize his positive attributes. His determination, willingness to challenge the status quo, economic policies, and foreign policy initiatives have all left a lasting impact on American politics and society. Regardless of one's personal opinions about him, Trump's presidency will undoubtedly be remembered as a significant chapter in American history.

It is crucial to approach issues related to crime and demographics with sensitivity and a commitment to fairness, justice, and equality. Making assumptions about an entire racial or ethnic group based on the actions of a few individuals is both unfair and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

Instead of focusing on a specific racial or ethnic group, it is more constructive to address crime in a broader context by considering socio-economic factors, education, community resources, and systemic issues that may contribute to criminal behavior. Here are some recommendations:

Community Engagement:

Foster positive relationships between law enforcement and all communities, emphasizing open communication and trust-building.
Encourage community members, including those who may feel marginalized, to collaborate in crime prevention efforts.
Address Socio-Economic Factors:

Implement programs that address poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to quality education, as these factors are often correlated with higher crime rates.
Invest in Education:

Focus on education initiatives that provide equal opportunities for all residents, regardless of their background.
Education can be a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of crime and poverty.
Community Policing:

Adopt community policing strategies that involve law enforcement working closely with the community to identify and address specific concerns.
Support Mental Health Services:

Allocate resources to mental health services to address underlying issues that may contribute to criminal behavior.
Promote Equal Opportunities:

Work towards creating an inclusive and equitable society where everyone has equal access to opportunities, resources, and justice.
Cultural Competency Training:

Provide cultural competency training for law enforcement and other community service providers to ensure fair and unbiased treatment for all residents.
Implement Rehabilitation Programs:

Focus on rehabilitation and support for individuals involved in criminal activities, irrespective of their background.
It's important to emphasize that crime is a complex issue influenced by various factors. Targeting specific racial or ethnic groups is not a just or effective approach. Instead, a comprehensive and community-focused strategy is more likely to yield positive and lasting results. Additionally, consider consulting with experts in criminology, sociology, and community development to tailor strategies that address the unique challenges of your community.

All that sounds good, but means nothing. Just word salad.


What if the 13% have absolutely zero interest in education or working for a living? And how does one provide "equal opportunities" in the workplace for people who read at a 4th grade level? While it sounds noble and all, it is extremely difficult to put into practice. It would be like trying to teach my dog how to parallel park.
