Clickbait headline; any headline that’s a question can usually be answered with “probably not” because if they had enough evidence to report something as true, they’d do so with a statement.

Terrible news, that’s not even the name. It’s stimulator. Gross.

I think you are misapplying the principle of “words are how you use them” here; “his husband” is used not-infrequently and is grammatically valid to any English speaker. There is nothing to correct in the original text.

What this is using, however, is statistical frequency of use, which is a different thing altogether. And you know what relies on statistical frequency of language like this? LLMs.

English is full of words and phrases that have secondary meanings, and even obscure or contextual meanings that are real and correct! We cannot cede less popular language choices to AI spellcheck or we lose our own voices and experiences. Acknowledging that gay people exist is a tiny microcosm of this, but it’s important in many other ways too.

No one needs to justify their existence. Existence is valuable in and of itself, not derived from what you can do or be or experience.

“In the same way that your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don’t, it doesn’t.”

Once upon a time when the internet was small and niche, this may have been true. Now, it’s a firehose of information that is constantly available in your pocket. It’s healthy to curate that space to reflect your interests in your precious little time on earth. If you want to pop your bubble so badly, go out and talk to people! Make real connections instead of falling for engagement bait online that only leaves you frustrated and isolated.

You’re not incorrect to feel that way, but for context, this is a republican primary. The only people voting for this are the ones without enough shame to have changed their party affiliation in the past 1-10 years, so there’s definitely a sampling bias in these specific results. We won’t know what the rest of the voters want until November.

In the US at least, there’s huge, decades-old tariffs on Chinese solar panels. The rest is red tape of varying importance (engineering, land use, permitting, legal and financial agreements, community buy-in, interconnection queues, etc.) I’d guess it takes between 3-7 years to conceptualize a solar plant and getting it operational.

You also need solar to support the AI bubble data centers. It’s a no brainer.
