Yes.
Perhaps the best way forwards.
Though if AI is a realist it perhaps will decide that it doesn't know.

So, when you say "The British" are you referring to all 75 million of us.

Yes, a guess as stated.
So do you regularly garnish with quinoa.
Or is it keen wah.
I enjoy chickpeas and cous cous.
Keen wah yah is what Flavia audibly relays from Waitrose via her smartphone to Phoebe who is looking erudite and alluring in the gallery.
Meanwhile Piers is with Wills shooting grouse on the moors at the invite of the Duke...Where it is doubtful that keen wah will be on the evening menu.
A more hearty fare will be necessary after an arduous day of being ferried from shooting peg to shooting peg in the estates fleet of ATV's.

It's a bit like a univerucca.
Not to be confused with a Eunuch horn, which is either a castrated saxophonist or a contradiction in terms.

Yep, Americans are a mixed bunch of isolationists and the more open minded.
In between are the thoughtful but easily led.
Wherein voting and media sensationalism are something of a baffling mix of dissociative contradictions.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
I doubt they will directly enter the conflict. There's no overriding ideological or commercial need to do so...And China is led with pragmatism rather than gobshite buffoonery.

Well the motivation actually only requires thought and finger movements same as any communicative digital interface.
A preceding 10 mile jog, shower and massage is not necessarily necessary.

Yes, everything is essentially the same.
Coffee is always essentially the same despite what might be added to it.
Though there is now a chatroom where chat is infrequent, though what essentially is a chatroom other than another alternating digital interface, AKA a forum.
And then there is discord which is not DebateCraft as such...But something else to log into and interface digitally.
Saves me flying to North America every morning.
So no Mharman, it isn't better , it's just slightly different.
And Mafia is for those with not much else to do other than play with themselves in their bedrooms...Only jibing...Youthful exuberance is a force of nature.

Well I'm guessing that quinoa is not so popular or so widely used, so reactions to it would be mixed.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm British by birth and was programmed as such.
I suppose that it's fair to say that such programming inevitably took on board Britishness of the 1960's and 70's.
Things have changed.

I have no say.
The problem is people and perhaps the necessity of people and the necessity of material progress.
Perhaps a real AI will eventually take control of Earth systems management.
Or perhaps life on Earth has no greater Universal significance.
Or perhaps other systems will succeed and some systems will not.
Or perhaps there's a GOD that enjoys prayers and hymns.
Or perhaps..................................................

Yes, I've been here since DebateArt's inception, 8 years ago...And with DebateCraft ever since DebateArt's rebranding...I was with DDO before that. and also with various other sites.
Not sure about the reasons behind the rebrand, but I guess it was necessary to do so.
The two are still very similar in general format, though DebateCraft has the ability be progressive, whereas DebateArt is somewhat stuck in it's own time zone.
Nonetheless DebateArt remains efficient.
And yes, a good place to seek refuge from overzealous moderators.

I don't doubt the stats re energy production.
Though the downside of nuclear energy production cannot be dismissed as insignificant.
And cost wise , renewables are far more efficient than nuclear.
Bottom line is though, if the human race demands ever more electrical energy then there will be a commensurate cost to the environment in some form or another.

Hmmm, we will beg to differ on your latter assertion.

@Girraficus
The Sun bombards us with enough energy in one day for a years supply of electricity...Yet we prefer to waste it and build high risk, high cost, short term nuclear reactors that produce dangerous waste that must be hidden away long term and hopefully forgotten about.
Fact is, from the point of view of fragile organic structures, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever safe about the production of Nuclear energy
So what's not to like?

Yes, no good doing a bit and then having a look again in a few months time.
Would result in frustrated thespians and anxious investors.
And the catering folk would probably have to relocate and chuck out a lot of quinoa.

Yes, DebateCraft is something of a mostly US fraternity and was somewhat irked by the fact that it's chief contributor was both female and Canadian.

Yes, Jews are not averse to a bit of killing.
Essentially, these persons that you are referring to are just unstable, hormonally driven blobs of organic matter...Labelling them is irrelevant, other than to point out that sometimes they will kill in groups...Often group killing other groups...Such is the social and intellectual advancement of the human species.
And so we arrive at the highest level of evolved humanity and we label it Trump.

You're sort of just protesting to yourself.
I don't suppose that DebateCraft knows about your protest.
DebateCraft is essentially the same as DebateArt, just reworked for the sake of it.
Though there is now a new chat function, which is just a new chat function for the sake of it that provides very little extra value.
But such is progress, is it not?

Yes, such were periods of human endeavour.
Such are in fact.
It is estimated that since WW2 global conflicts have taken 570million lives.
It's an ongoing theme of human endeavour.

Well, I flit back and forth, as I expect Shila will do once that she has endured her period of exile.

Spanish Flu didn't help.
Nonetheless, if we draw lines on a map we can make statistical comparisons.
And a lot of folk migrated to the Americas, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, and Soviet Gulags.
Though I don't think that the latter was optional.

Movie makers like to make movies.
They obviously saw value in a remake.
And I enjoyed the remake.
If it hadn't been remade, I would have been relatively oblivious.
