@DmytroKuleba UN rules are UN rules

@bryan_johnson @jan_web3s I guess there would be no need for metformin if there were no carbs in the diet.

@bryan_johnson How about cancer-causing substances in mushrooms? https://t.co/FEIXl8fFZp

@elonmusk Is the guy in the picture holding a vacuum cleaner or a leaf blower? And how would that device help the world that is on fire, or help prove his point to the person asking him for help?

@NeverDive10 @MattWallace888 He could try to convince Vanguard to finance it :)

@sbkaufman @elonmusk Wrong letter capitalized.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@elonmusk Why not $8.42?

@Plinz Erwin Schrödinger said: "Consciousness is bound up with learning in organic substance; organic competence is unconscious." So maybe it could work, as long as the AGI keeps finding new and interesting things to learn.

@IanColdwater Rotate more on coding and shipping? Done.

@bennyjohnson @AOC @elonmusk Why does she have to eat while recording this video? Can she record it and eat later?

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@Slo_pitch_ace This bill is horrible. Every sane parent must protest against it.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula You cannot direct your threats and harassment to all Russians in all countries, based on your ideas of what they "should be saying or doing to stop the war", even those who openly say they oppose the war. If you do, you would be on the wrong side of justice in this case.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula OK, this is a statement about the majority. By definition, it does not apply to 100% people it is directed at, and it should be read as such. But threats of violence will be reported, and hate speech will not be tolerated.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula BTW Ukraine has about 8 million ethnic Russians. Are they responsible for the actions of Russian Federation too? If not, why are ethnic Russians living elsewhere in the world responsible?

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula Or else? Those who don't "say enough" or "protest enough" deserve death threats voiced by @serhiyprytula in his YouTube video? You are taking the idea of "silence means approval" too far.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula Again, how many times should I repeat that the entire national group is not responsible for the actions of "the majority". If you make threats to the entire group, you are alienating those who would otherwise support you.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula @serhiyprytula's video is called "All Russians must watch this". And you too are generalizing your assumptions to the entire diverse group. And even those who don't support Putin "did not do enough to stop him, etc. etc." so we all deserve your hate no matter what?

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula Again, you are making references to a "typical Russian" and spreading hate towards all Russians based on your assumptions and ideas. Making judgments against a group of people based on such assumptions is a road to hell. It has undoubtedly contributed to many conflicts and wars.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula All you and @serhiyprytula are being asked to do is to stop making threats against civilian citizens of countries of the world based on their national origin. Nothing gives anyone a right to threaten people with physical violence based on national origin.

[Mikhail Bautin @mbautin]

@din_dao @serhiyprytula Again, a generalized statement about all Russians, presumably followed by the threats of "being thrown off a balcony in Antalya" if you don't think and talk and feel a certain way about all these events, which are certainly wrong and outrageous. But so are your threats & demands.
