Aw you’re fine, I just wanted to let whoever ran the account know. There was an instance of a bot dev deliberately not marking their account as a bot to try and make it seem natural, didn’t want you to get caught up in that - the development of an automod for lemmy will be a big step forward in moderation.

I would like to suggest that the bot writes the title that it found and the time after the first sentance. e.g. “… The title that I found is ‘the scraped title’. …”
I’m thinking about adding a feature that automatically deletes the bot’s comment after the title is changed. But I’ll do what you suggest if I end up not doing that (:
BTW, check out the new message, lemme know if there’s anything missing.

According to a readout on Tuesday from the Chinese defence ministry, Li Shangfu said “friendly communication” between China and the US had been “destroyed” because “some people in the United States did not meet China halfway”. Kissinger said he was a “friend of China”, according to the readout.
Some sources including Wikipedia define electrocution as “death or serious injury caused by electric shock.” However “electrify” is rarely if ever used to describe any sort of electric shock. It’s more used to describe a line or material that has electric voltage and/or current running through it.
Correct, some sources do say that, in BrE we say electric shock, perhaps in AmE electrocution is a generic term, but that’s bizzare, the word is a amalgamation of electricity and execution, since when is execution non lethal? In french we use électrisé and electrocutes to make the distinction.
A lot of words evolve beyond their etymological origin and aren’t 1:1 between languages, so it’s never good to assume a word that appears to be the same in another language has exactly the same meaning. To my knowledge, electrify is never used in either British or American English to describe unintentionally shocking a person with electricity. Electrocution on the other hand is commonly used to describe electric shock whether or not it was intentional or causes death.
“We will handle their offers of help with the discretion and professionalism for which our service is famed, their secrets will always be safe with us,” Moore added
So a 100 year old war criminal is invited by another war criminal actively involved in genocide, China's secretary of defense, Li Shangfu, to denigrate "some people" in the US. Wonder who they could be...
Oh and guess what:
Li has been the subject of US sanctions since 2018, relating to the purchase of combat aircraft from Russia’s main arms exporter, which Beijing cites as a reason for refusing to reopen military-to-military dialogues with Washington. Last month, Li refused to meet his US counterpart, Lloyd Austin, at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.
This is a transparent effort to work a backdoor into US foreign policy in the advent of a Republican administration in 2024, as China knows they can't get any traction with Austin or the Biden administration. Given Kissinger's reputation for dirty tricks and geopolitical manipulation, there's no way that any conversation between these two is good for the US, or for those China oppresses.
Well the UK is once again making stupid choices. Hope not too many kids get hurt by this. If they are out at school but not home there is a reason for it.
