The only AI I 'use' is shit foisted on me - summaries and slop vomited on my screen as part of internet browsing or injected into programs I work with until I turn those settings off or rip those parts out by the roots.

That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

I have spent over a year drawing #pokemon in order of their speed tier and have finally drawn all 1340 of them just in time for the World Champions!
It was a lot of work and really happy to have actually done such a big project~

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf
All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies.
This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.
Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.
