After the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its COVID-19 cruise ship program last month, many cruise lines changed their health and safety protocols and dropped some testing requirements.

  1. I was judged by artificial intelligence and I lost, I now know what not having a soul feels like… Is this the way of the future? Atheists and trolls are lucky, they get to use God whether they believe in him or not. Maybe being judged by artificial intelligence will be what trolls will be sowing their seeds to in their future. It makes sense.
