Just when I thought of an actually useful task for Google's AI, things got complicated right off the bat.
First, I heard the news via DW that 190 countries recognized #Palestine as a state. Okay, so I don't need to click on any specific website to answer the question "how many countries are there?".
When #AIOverview popped right up it said 195, as recognized by the #UN, it also had a fine print disclaimer that it does make mistakes. Never saw THAT one before today. But lower on the page there was cited a website that claimed there were 248. Then Reddit said that there were at least 193 but as many as 206. Uhhhhhh....
It took another link on that page to sort all of this out so I guess I really did need to click on a link to a website after all: Wikipedia's page on "United Nations geoscheme" and got the info that the number 248 covered non-sovereign dependencies, while the number 193 covered nations that were UN members, to which one would add 2 observer nations: Vatican and Palestine.
Bottom line is that 190 of whatever the number now recognize the State of Palestine.

"Our findings suggest a link between malevolent (aversive) personality and conservative political ideology... and that persons with malevolent personality dispositions view political figures with malevolent traits favorably"

A month or so ago I made an announcement that abandoned accounts will be deleted. This is mainly due to my setting a ceiling on the number of users that can register on this Instance. The ceiling is set to try to keep the Instance usable. I can only afford so many resources.
If you need to take a sabbatical or are going to be off line for a while please let me know so that I will not delete your account. If I am not warned that you are not going to be able to use your account then I delete accounts that reach 60 days with no activity. I of course will be flexible with this for typically active users.
