@secularprolife A premature child may require life support for leaving the natural environment of the earliest stages of human development too early. The better the technology, the earlier the child can survive outside the natural environment and in the next environment for all the later stages.
@secularprolife The word "viable" in regard to a human fetus and embryo requires the caveat "outside the uterus" because biologically, they're perfectly viable within their natural environment, the uterus. /1
@carynannharlos Okay. I'm with you on "instrument." I didn't pay that close attention while I was reading, but every time I hear you say it, I have to laugh.
Office of an amicus was downright hilarious.
Maybe I should pay more attention, but that would mean reading 76 pages again.
@carynannharlos But I understand that you recognize where the writing is different than Ken's style. You know how he writes.
It's just that where you said that nobody talks like that and it's a tell sounded perfectly normal to me. I never would have known without knowing Ken's style.
@carynannharlos As you can tell, I'm watching your video now and enjoying it very much. I just thought that was funny because what sounded perfectly normal to me both when I read it and when you said it, you said nobody talks like that.
@carynannharlos Right. I live in the uncanny valley.
That's why I love when people who hardly know me tell me I can't be autistic because I can maintain eye contact and show empathy.
@carynannharlos Even here in the twitterverse, I've been accused of using Chat GPT and not understanding anything I'm saying even though all my comments come from my own thoughts.
@carynannharlos I don't use AI to write, but I feel as if you might possibly accuse me of using AI in my writing (real writing, not this twit stuff) because "people don't talk like that." 😂 I also enjoy my em-dashes.
@bgetsbetter But the US has officially made its national flag a "living" idol that demands "respect" with rituals and gestures within the US flag code and even gave it a cremation ceremony when it's no longer fit for use.
@bgetsbetter Right? A national flag is intended to be a standard or banner or ensign to identify nationality when visiting another nation or when on the high seas. It shouldn't be necessary to wave it in one's own country.
@AdamLisowski15@carynannharlos That's an old tweet, while Biden was still in office. Now that Trump's in office, he's posting stuff like this:

If you can drop $60 on a bottle of wine, $7 on a latte, $16 on a cocktail, and $14 on a stadium beer in a plastic cup… you can pay $4.50 for a gallon of gas.
@Hortysir Don't know what these people are talking about. We always get old refurbished phones. And that over a $100/month is for 3 people. We also don't subscribe to streaming channels. My husband works hard, and gas isn't a luxury for working people.
@carynannharlos It helps to find common ground with someone before moving on to the political differences. Helps them to see why libertarian solutions are better.
@carynannharlos I get that. But sometimes we need modifiers to reach people with shared beliefs, otherwise, just hearing the term "libertarian" brings an image to mind that could be a turn off. It helps to get a conversation going that could be more persuasive.
@AnswerIsLibrty@gemoorsry@AmericanTorah Not at all. I hope I didn't either. We're passionate. I think that's a good thing.
I hope you also enjoy your day and your game. ♥
@AnswerIsLibrty@gemoorsry@AmericanTorah I muted that person. You I can talk to. I can't talk to someone who is going to twist my words or my beliefs. You acknowledged my beliefs and shared why you disagree with backup. I appreciate that.
@carynannharlos I call myself a socially conservative libertarian because I want to reach people with similar beliefs as I have, showing that we can have these beliefs while still not having government rule over our personal decisions.
@gemoorsry@AmericanTorah At least @AnswerIsLibrty gave me an intelligent response rather than a logical fallacy. We may not agree, but I at least appreciate the civil discussion we had and learned some things from the discourse.
@gemoorsry@AmericanTorah The same word used in Deuteronomy 6:4 is also used in Genesis when it says the two shall become one (echad) flesh. It's also used when it says a congregation speaks in one (echad) voice. There is more than one person united as one entity. God is one entity and a plural unity. /2
