  • It was useful to generate names for me, and also go more in depth about geography.

    For the first I did things like: give me a list of fantasy names vaguely inspired by Ancient Greek/proto-IE/Sanskrit etc. Also based on characteristics, like “give me a name based in PIE that refers to black beard/holy land etc.”.

    For the second I did things like explain vaguely the geographical characteristics for an area, then ask if that is realistic and how the climate and biosphere would look like taking x, y or z into account.

    It worked… ok-ish.

    For the first it made up a lot of fake shit. I even went on some rabbit holes asking for sources and finding some, in like French from 50 years ago, or not finding it at all.

    For the second, I honestly don’t know. It was convincing? I don’t know enough about geography to really know tho.











  • From what I remember, what actually happened was there was a very shit racist meme circling around around when Obama was the president, and he had visited China and was acting “friendly” with Xi.

    In any case, the meme was basically Xi as Pooh and Obama as Tigger. Because of racism.

    The meme was banned because of the Obama Tigger thing. That was the big deal. Not Xi as Pooh.




  • “Contrary to other parties of the left, MORENA has not sought to reduce inequality by increasing taxes on the wealthy. Instead, the party has focused on reducing the pay gap between lower-level employees and high-level government workers salaries, such as politicians and judges through austerity measures. The party announced support for a plan by López Obrador to cut salaries of higher-ranking public officials (including the President), lay off up to 70 percent of non-unionized federal workers, and reduce spending by cracking down on corruption and tax fraud. As Article 94 of the Mexican Constitution prohibits reducing the salary of judges at any time during their appointment in order to maintain judicial independence, judges on the Supreme Court took a 25% pay cut starting in 2019.”
