Randomly shooting people including themselves, even. Such heroism. Western tyranny in smithereens…

AI?

This is kinda the whole idea of the entire horror genre and anything like it

A bunch of the “fediverse” reacts poorly to this. But, speaking as someone who never even considered Apple, using Android doesn’t have to mean it’s smart to go into intentional denial of a long list of shit that sucks, just to be a fanboy.

That’s another layer of headscratching, yeah. The thing I meant to snark at is how stupidly the “any number” match is written: “make a pointless new group that contains at least one digit - oh, and that group may not exist”, instead of just * which is simply “zero or more of the thing”

lmao ([0-9]+)?

Almost like the guy is some kind of idiot

Yes

btw, it has no idea if you said something smart, these things are specifically instructed to kiss maximum ass.

Not recently or suddenly, no, but I also go out of my way to shovel that shit away from the “front page” in much the same way you’d feel about shovelling shitty slushy snow at the ass end of winter. It is inherently a Reddit knockoff populated mostly with people who either are politically opposed “enough” to Reddit to actually do something about it, people who got banned, or both. A large proportion of the activity here is bot posts, from Reddit. It follows that shit’s going to be… reddit-y.

To address the political spam firehose, look into making adblocker filters based around the obvious keywords, I’ve been planning to do that for a while since Lemmy, rather conspicuously, only lets you block things in ways that suck. Worse than discord, over here.

Meh, weaponized hypocrisy is 99% of what comes out of his blubbery bitch-ass.

Japanese does this, and doesn’t half-ass it either! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronouns_in_Japanese#List_of_Japanese_personal_pronouns

Hell, Japanese essentially has entire modes of speaking just to be polite, with whole sets of pronouns, verbs and speaking style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorific_speech_in_Japanese

Incidentally, from a Euro perspective, tons of “our” languages, and formerly English (thou/thee) have what is called a t-v distinction, named after Latin “you” (tu/vi) which depends on status much like “usted” in Spanish. There’s a list of languages which do this.

I’d imagine the same as ours: broadly speaking, random shit that just happened to show up one day. They’d just need fewer of them than we happen to use in English.

Pronouns as a word category aren’t as inherently linked to gender as you’d think, just commonly influenced by it. You’re presumably asking from an English viewpoint, where we happen to split some third person pronouns by gender. Finnish, for example, already doesn’t do that, their only equivalent of he/she/they is hän which, like “they”, goes for anything. Japanese has absolute shit tons of pronouns of all kinds, some of which are very gender linked and some of which are fairly equal opportunity.

The connection between gender gender and grammatical “gender” is kind of overrated anyway, speaking as a native of a language with gendered nouns. The name is misleading: people obviously have genders, but when generalized to all nouns it gets… arbitrary as hell. Practically it’s just an extra bit of information you need to memorize for each one. What would it even mean for a book to have a gender, and why is it what it is? (The answer is unfortunately “fuck you, that’s why” because natural languages aren’t required to make any logical sense)

On the upside, if you’re German you can make your news headlines real short and awkward to read. It’s like code golf, or something.

The short answer is that all the labor the immigrants are performing goes away. That includes a bunch of people who are literally only in the country in order to work, incidentally. The right wing populist’s alleged dream would be a real shit idea, who’s shocked.

Damn, that’s crazy.

What happened to actually having a sales person vet this shit?

“Optimized” away as fast as possible, you can safely bet.

That would be an example of one of those invented reasons I was mentioning, yeah.

Who says it’d fail in the US? Oh right - people who are just politically opposed to the idea just because, and therefore invent reasons why it’d allegedly fail. Same as any other remotely decent thing that demonstrably works elsewhere.

An afterthought to this is that, while every country thinks it’s special, the US thinks it’s real special, and the exceptionalist mindset is probably not helping.

If the feeling is bothering you a lot, you need to dig. Try to find out what it is you’re hoping for from that other life, that’s apparently missing in your current one. If it isn’t that bad, it’s really, really common and you can honestly try to just distract yourself so you don’t repeatedly compare your life to a literal, and rather vague, fantasy. That’s not getting you anywhere.

I think a core thing is that people need a certain level of variety, some more than others, and still it’s really easy to get caught in a groove. Society is not built for that kind of enrichment.

Do you have a hobby or something?

Based on OP’s other replies it’s just trolling at this point, but if he wasn’t, everyone is so much better off by just leaving this alone. It was a weird idea from the start and every last post is another nail in the coffin for anything good coming out of this.
