Well, if one is a Roman Catholic, that's the way to go. For basically all other Christians, that's the wrong way to enact one's prayer life. (Also, perhaps St. Bruno is to be prayed to if SOMEONE ELSE is possessed. It's probably hard to pray if you're possessed and in an episode.)

I can go back to your last 15 posts. 3 were completely AI cut-and-paste. An equal number were one-sentence posts. One was a cut-and-paste from another source, and one was a request for an AI cut-and-paste. That may not sound like much, but it means 1/3 of your posts were entirely cut-and-paste, and 1/5 total were one-sentence posts. That's a lot of your content, and it's the most I've ever seen of anyone. I'm concerned about the quality of the posting when that happens. Even the AI thinks it's a bad idea. I'm MORE concerned about what's going on with you, though. Please give this a good, long think. Thanks.

Oldiesman, I ask this in all sincerity. Why the obsession with AIs, and having AIs do all the posting? I feel like you're outsourcing both your posts and your critical thinking. I wouldn't be concerned with a post here or there, but the majority of your posts lately seem to be either a cut-and-paste from an AI, or a link to an AI's answer to something. Partly to illustrate my point, and partly because I liked the irony, I posed to iASK the following question: "What does it say about a person who posts online, when suddenly, all of his posts are now cut-and-pastes of answers from AIs?" Its answer was the following: When a person's online posts suddenly shift to exclusively being cut-and-pastes of AI-generated answers, it suggests a reliance on artificial intelligence for content creation, potentially indicating a desire for efficiency, a lack of original thought, or an attempt to quickly generate a large volume of content [1] [2]. This behavior can have several implications for how the individual is perceived and the quality of their online contributions. According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI: One immediate observation is the potential for a decline in the authenticity and originality of the posts [1]. AI models, while sophisticated, generate responses based on patterns learned from vast datasets, which can sometimes lack the unique perspective, personal experiences, and nuanced understanding that human authors bring [3]. This can lead to a perception that the individual is no longer engaging in genuine communication or sharing their own insights [1]. Furthermore, such a shift raises concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the information being shared [4]. While AI-generated content can often appear authoritative, it is prone to "hallucinations" – generating incorrect facts, fabricating sources, or omitting crucial context [4] [5]. If the individual is simply copying and pasting without critical review, they risk disseminating misinformation, which can damage their credibility and the trust of their audience [4]. This is particularly problematic in fields where factual accuracy is paramount, such as technical forums or educational platforms [2]. The motivation behind this behavior could stem from a desire for increased efficiency and scalability [1]. AI tools excel at automating repetitive tasks and generating content quickly, which can be appealing for individuals looking to maintain a consistent online presence or manage a high volume of interactions [1]. However, this efficiency often comes at the cost of deeper engagement and personalized communication [1]. Another aspect to consider is the ethical implications [1]. If the individual is not transparent about the use of AI, their audience might feel misled, leading to a breach of trust [1]. Some online platforms, like Stack Exchange, have even banned purely AI-generated answers due to concerns about accuracy and the potential for overwhelming the platform with low-quality content [2]. The lack of human verification and validation in such instances shifts the responsibility for inaccuracies directly to the poster [2]. Finally, this pattern might suggest an over-reliance on automation, potentially hindering the individual's own critical thinking and creative development [1]. While AI can be a valuable assistant, using it as a complete replacement for human thought can lead to a loss of these essential skills [1].

There is another thread discussing the veneration of Mary and how Charlie Kirk believed venerating her would help women. I did some research and discovered there is a Roman Catholic saint for every ailment and challenge a person could possibly experience in their life. If you are having issues with your bees, pray to St Ambrose. Pray to St Angela Merici if you are handicapped. Pray to St Bruno if you are possessed. Here is a list of saints to pray to when you need their assistance. https://mycatholic.life/saints

Which son of Noah did you come from? This is from iASK: The lineage of Italians, according to various historical and biblical interpretations, can be traced back to Japheth, one of Noah's three sons. This connection is primarily established through Japheth's descendants who are associated with regions that later became part of Europe, including Italy. According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI: The Generations of Noah, also known as the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 of the Hebrew Bible, outlines the dispersion of Noah's descendants after the Great Flood.[1] This genealogy lists Noah's three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—as the progenitors of all human peoples.[1] [2] Japheth's descendants are broadly associated with the peoples of the Aegean Sea, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Europe.[3] [4] Specifically, the Roman-Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, connected Japheth's son Javan with the Ionians and all Grecians, and his grandson Tarshish with the Tharsians, whose city Tarsus was in Cilicia.[5] Later interpretations further elaborate on these connections. For instance, some Jewish traditions, as cited in the Aramaic Targum of Pseudo-Jonathan ben Uzziel and elaborated by scholars like Don Isaac Abarbanel, suggest that the descendants of Tarshish eventually settled in Tuscany and Lombardy, contributing to the populations of cities like Florence, Milan, and Venice.[1] [6] In the 7th century AD, Hispano-Roman archbishop and scholar Isidore of Seville, in his encyclopedic work Etymologiae, traced the origins of most European peoples back to Japheth.[4] This assertion was widely adopted and developed by scholars across Europe into the 19th century, reinforcing the idea of Japheth as the progenitor of European nations, including those that would form Italy.[4] While the Bible itself does not explicitly name "Italians" as direct descendants of Japheth, the broader ethnological interpretations and historical traditions consistently link Japheth's lineage to the European continent, thereby encompassing the ancestral lines that would eventually form the Italian people.

John Rupp was Limb Leader in Texas at the end of my stint in the group (1997). While I was having a drumhead trial to expel me, he was on the phone and made the final decision. I was devastated then; but in retrospect, he did me a favor. Prior to that, I interacted with him and his wife on a few occasions. He seemed interested in actually helping people. I bear him no ill will. Angela Priester and her husband, Perry, were my group coordinators at a WAP Advanced Class in Rome City. Again, nice people. George

You piqued my curiosity. A Hoyer lift is a mechanical patient transfer device that uses a fabric sling to safely lift and move individuals with limited mobility from one surface to another, such as a bed to a wheelchair or toilet. It eliminates the need for caregivers to perform manual lifting, which reduces the risk of injuries for both the patient and the caregiver. The lift operates using a hydraulic or electric-powered mechanism to gently raise and lower the patient, providing secure support during the transfer process George

Gabrielle appears. Again, not likely to have much impact on the US. The disturbance behind Gabrielle seems to have a more southerly trajectory, however. George

A bit off topic: You'd be amazed at how many facilities (hospitals included) don't even have a Hoyer lift. It's like going to a tire store and finding they don't have a lift rack.
