Fair enough. Sometimes it seems QR users assume everybody has two devices.

What qualifies as “using them wrong”?

Any universe has at least one sentient being.

What in the hell is this idiocy?

If you live in a dictatorship, those rights don’t exist. The rights are earned or agreed upon by a collective. They don’t pre-exist. In an universe without sentient beings, the notion of “rights” is nonsense.

They come from God or Nature.

Bullshit. Gods aren’t real and nature gives nothing.

Smirking in Spanish

(our barking onomatopoeia is “guau”, which more or less sounds like wow).

Python’s installation part is now improved if you previously install uv.

Ah, if that were possible, how many children would be returned!

What’s the god worshipped by atheists? What’s the dogma?

Seriously, believers need to stop saying that idiotic phrase.

You don’t have “faith” in your friends, unless you trust them even against all available evidence…

I’d just say Do not get kids, period.

100% agreed.

No. Everyone should learn Esperanto as a second language and preserve the cultural tapestry of existing languages.

All cultural loss is a tragedy.

how easily the corporate marketing apparatuses think they can shove it down the public’s throat.

Let’s also remark: USian public. Outside the States the reliance in stereotypes and too-pretty or too-token-minority is so obvious that it detracts from enjoyment.

Argentinian here. Lately I mostly consume British TV. It’s immeasurably better. People act and look as real people.

That’s also why I find USian remakes disgusting. They lose all distinctiveness. A blatant case was the police drama Broadchurch (UK original) vs Gracepoint (US remake). The only common cast member was David Tennant. The UK characters feel as real people. The US characters were obviously actors. Olivia Coleman was believable as a police officer in a small fishing town. Anna Gunn… wasn’t.

Not the person you’re answering to, but: You say this as if everybody enjoys manual labor, sports and/or outdoor activities. None of the proposed activities elicits the least amount of interest for me, for example.

Then the proposal may be unfeasable for professions with highly specialized knowledge. Dumbing down the jargon of doctors, programmers or architects, for instance, makes no sense given the loss of needed precision. If a mundane doesn’t know the workings of the lymphatic system or the uses of the visitor pattern, tough luck.

Every area of expertise has vocabulary that’s relevant only to that discipline, is extremely precise and carries a lot of useful meaning. Why would that be bad?

I use ddrescue to create an ISO file and I play that file with VLC. Usually you can navigate the original menus without a problem.

You’re willingly ignorant about the many negative aspects of using Ai. Being ignorant is fine, but making such a proud display of it is not pretty.

If you can ask that question you’re horrible yourself.
