This is being done to #protect the #AImodel itself, not the human user, as part of a programme to study #modelwelfare.

— Let’s be clear: Being #gay is a perfectly #normal part of the human experience. Being a #Republican and/or #religious, however, is #dangerous, #harmful to #society, #abnormal, and utterly #immoral.

These practices hurt #society by promoting #unfoundedbeliefs, #discouraging #criticalthinking, and is used to #justify #harming others. Religion fosters reliance on #dogma over #reason, hinders #societalprogress, and #serves as #levers for the #exercise of #power and #control over #followers #lives

A Maine commission has called for 💥a new probe of the historical use of #Agent #Orange and other herbicides at a #New #Brunswick #military #base 💥
because it says ⚠️ the data and analysis used in a Canadian report that found most people at or near the base were not at risk for long-term health effects was "#incorrect" and "#biased."
The #Gagetown #Harmful #Chemical #Study #Commission, created last summer to study the impacts of exposure to Agent Orange and other harmful chemicals on Maine National Guard veterans who trained at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in Oromocto, recently presented its recommendations to the Maine legislature's veterans and legal affairs committee.
It said the committee should invite experts to review the Canadian Forces Base Gagetown Herbicide Spray Program 1952-2004 Fact-Finders' Report to determine whether the existing data should be reanalyzed or new studies conducted

""people who made the difficult #decision to have an #abortion #because it's right for them and their #situation are still allowed to grieve how things could have been if their #circumstances had been different" is another statement that should be added"
