An actor's popularity is dependent on if they have a major role in popular movies, a large social media presence, or things like that. Many people don't exactly care about quality in movies, or the actors ability to act.

There are some great actors we probably never heard of, because they are cast in minor roles, or in movies barely anyone knows about.

Oh, interesting. Thank you for the info! I was going with a general knowledge that the more well known actors get paid more because of their popularity. Seema this one was a different case.

Actors get paid based on their popularity, or said differently, you get paid shit if you are not known by millions. You can be the worst actor and get paid millions, while the best actor of the century gets paid minimum wage because noone knows about him.

In ending their life should we be causing them pain? Huge debate, but the main reason we use lethal injection or gas executions instead now is to end their life without pain or torture. Ideally a person would just be turned off like a light without them even noticing.

Interestingly enough, because of certain happenings, these methods are often poorly prepared by a layman after a quick google search and mostly made to look like a quick death, with the person often suffering even for half an hour. We already have a solution. It's called a guillotine. After 4 seconds the person is all gone, but it's a messy death for any onlookers, so it's not used.

For anyone interested, here is a great video about how executions basically never changed in all but look: https://youtu.be/eirR4FHY2YY?si=9y_dbu8SBiDyPos-

So the AI provided factual information and they did not like that because 'slavery bad, therefore there was no benefit to it.' There were benefits to slavery, mainly for the owners. US had a huge cotton export at one point, with the fields being worked by slaves.

But also a very few slaves did benefit, like being able to work a job that taught them very useful skills, which let them buy their own freedom, as they were able to earn money from it. Of course being a slave in the first place would be far better, but when you are one already, learning a skill that makes you earn your freedom and get a job afterwards is quite the blessing. Plus for a few individuals it might've been living in such terrible conditions, that being forced to work while getting fed might've not been so bad...

Chances are as about anything else. But I am not sure what that has to with AI. It's being fed things from the internet for a reason and good luck changing any of the information to your whim.

Unfortunately the death penalty is currently not about killing the criminal, but a good-looking death. Basically it does not matter if the person suffers for an hour, as long as it is not visible.

From hanging, electrocution, to gassing (yes, US did that at one point) and lethal injections, the method was always slow and painful.

With the lethal injections one, most chemicals were banned for it, so they are poorly researched by laymans, not as functional and literally made so the person is paralyzed, while they still can feel everything and can painfully be dying for half an hour.

Unfortunately I have to confirm. I've seen a fair share of people that have knowledge that stops at chemicals/radiation=danger to your health.

Political extremism has been on the rise for more than a decade. Especially with the help of the internet, radicalization has been getting easier and easier. You just need a reasonable-sounding speaker and before you realize, you are far gone.

Both sides in the US have been getting more and more extreme, pulling away from the middle One side will openly talk about their extreme ideologies, which attracts many with the same beliefs. The other side hides behind compassion and helping people, only to stab you in the back when it's too late to run.

I am sure the 2-party system does not help. You are forced to either vote bad guy n.1 or slightly less bad guy n.2. With no other option, it will not take long before you end up listening to your new side and well...you know what happens next. With no space for a more reasonable side to enter, everyone gets radicalized and then a third side becomes a solution no more.

Hope the government falls and is rebuilt, before it all turns into another herrible page of history.

You either seem to have people who just care about themselves and their comfort and beliefs only, or people who pretend to care about others, only to satisfy their ego and beliefs in the process, sometimes at the expense of the group they pretend to care about.

Thanks for the answer to my question! I did not really look into this for a few years. And those that I did were when I really got into US politics. Thankfully I did 180 on that, but my knowledge from that time is untrustworthy to say the least.

Your answer really clarified and added a lot rather than repeating what others said, along with it being from a professional, which is well appreciated. So again, thank you and the others for taking the time to answer my question.

Thanks for your answer to my question! More specific answers like this one really help reinforce what the other told me. I also appreciate you not going into politics, like a few others have.
