In the most absolute historical sense all borders are arbitrary made-up lines on the ground.

Yes, the question itself is too simplistic for a meaningful answer without lots of conditions and qualifications. It just invites highly polarized apples vs oranges arguments.

Except not. Still nice to see any TNG or Community reference tho.

Doesn’t matter that you waited… you’re here now. Congrats!

TIL Jenna Fischer, known as Pam in The Office, is not related to this guy. Or to Gus Fischer, a guy I knew in high school.

Good antidote: play Superfreak in your head.

Drawback: now you have Superfreak playing in your head.

Minor flex, I’m actually pretty good at solving these without any letters. It used to drive my parents crazy. Not much use unless you are able to get on that show.

Sounds like an argument that would take at least two meetings and a dozen emails if this were done by a company lol.

I’m just looking at lemmy.world in a web browser - does that count?

I would expect that an AI designed to be a life coach would be trained on a lot of human interaction about moods and feelings, so its responses would simulate picking up emotional clues. That’s assuming the designers were competent.

Depends on how you take it. When you say anyone who doesn’t have a neurological disorder can do something it puts a negative light on people who haven’t done it. Not being multilingual is a common negative statement about Americans, for example, always comparing them with Europeans. But most Americans don’t live close to multiple places where different languages are prevalent, as in Europe, so their only reason to learn other languages is purely academic. Similar to the average person’s motivation to learn calculus. I think I framed it pretty realistically - certainly with more brevity.

Reminder: Harris would not have done this.

B-but genocide! Yeah, instead of genocide plus mass deportations, etc. Not a good argument.

IDGAF if it’s the best (mint), it was easy to install, easy to transition to from Windows, and in 6 months hasn’t given me any trouble. I just wanna use my computer.

Heyyyyyyyyy Yaccarino!

I thought federated meant people see your posts no matter where you log in. But if going to piefed means you’re “leaving” lemmy, kthxbye I guess. I don’t see the need for an announcement.

That’s not what I’m right about, and your nonsense is now blocked.

TBH that sounds like saying anybody can become “fluent” in calculus if they just apply themselves. In my experience that’s just not the case. People have different aptitudes. You might be right that with sufficient motivation and unlimited time, anyone without a neurological disorder could theoretically learn a language, but in a real-life context where people have a lot of other concerns and responsibilities going on, I think it’s much more reasonable to say “probably but it depends.”

Smart move, tailoring movies to the demographic that talks the loudest and then stays home and pirates everything.
