This isn’t quite normal, usually at these facilities in the case of 15, 22, and 20 especially show that the workers are not carrying out proper regular assessment and that the criteria for euthanasia for excessive suffering looks to be far to high. I only know the case of how this kind if testing is handled with mice (from my partner, and in germany) and all three of these cases would have been euthanized much earlier, not left to live on for a year or even days. As usual with Musk, he tries to cut corners and it only ends up hurting people and in this case animals unecessarily.

The true MVP of this post

The fact they redacted answers to these questions specifically is even more proof of some kind of cover-up IMO. Absolutely wild they won’t release the full document.

I really hope we see push back against this by other reps, it seems they were definitely getting close to something “they” didn’t want people to know. It would be a shame and blatantly transparent something is up if they were stopped now.

Also isn’t the whole point of an oversight committee to uncover things that’re being hidden, especially if they’re “embarrassing”???

Why do you think he’s chair of the intelligence committee?

I would have, but I haven’t been able to find this exact clip on YouTube yet. I can add to the original post if someone finds it. Edit: found it at the start of another video https://youtu.be/7v8M47YLKE0

I seem to remember similar comments a year and a half ago…

I had a look. Yeah, it’s transparent that they (whomever that may be in this case) did this one. But if anything PTSD makes me respect the guy way more.

Right? Like it seems this is a very bi-partisan effort that’s moving surprisingly easy. What’s the catch?

Right so don’t really know if this is bait… but that’s one kind of accent (and the tickest pronunciation at that) in ulster, specifically greater Belfast/co. Antrim and very few people speak that thick. For the most part they should be quite understandable from the perspective of anyone who consumes any English language media outside of only American or only London (RP) English. The number of times I have had people have trouble with my accent in Europe and then I ask them what they watched when learning English and the answer is American TV is astounding.

This is me getting on my wee podium now but I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible (after making no effort to understand it), and often deny it any legitimacy.

In reality Irish English is spoken by 5-7million people, as large as some dialects of European languages (eg. Austrian/swiss German, Belgian/Swiss French, etc) and if you learn French or German you still get some exposure to those dialects and if you out your mind to it understand it.

Here, I mean more the reaction to it, I sometimes cringe at the pronunciation or intonation in the way one would to nails on a chalkboard (the idiom can have more than one meaning or reaction attached to it)

Americans have trouble with any accent that isn’t the blandest, nails on chalkboard accent.

Once had one ask me if I was speaking English when I spoke to him (for context I am Irish, the north bit)
