You got voted down, but this is absolutely real. I speak multiple languages, but none with the nuance and clarity of context as I do English. I communicate with folks all across the world that are all English speakers, however, the variance in comprehension is so drastic that at times we’re really not using the same language, even if we’re using some of the same words.

If you emigrate to a country, it’s a reasonable expectation that you’ll learn the language. The United States doesn’t technically have an official language, English is just de facto, but from a practical standpoint it’s absolutely occupying that role, and will in perpetuity.

I can absolutely agree with the premise that being frustrated with language barriers isn’t racism, it’s an actual real and realized impediment to understanding.

It wasn’t even that long ago. I bought tons of discrete parts from RadioShack like, even up to 8 or 9 years ago. They had these drawers full of things, pots, LEDs, ICs, sensors, motors, dials.

Now the big controversy is trans people, but if it wasn’t, it would be anti gay sentiment. Gay is seen as comparatively normal even by Republicans because of a few complex reasons, but can be reductively simplified as changes to the Overton Window and what could be described as ‘changing goal posts’

Lots of places have this, I wouldn’t be able to be a Canadian citizen because of it.

I bought some games for it, but never the console

I feel the exact same way. I know a lot of people who have been, and I never did. I guess I assumed it would be around until I finally went.

I was wrong.

That reminds me of stingers for strings and wings for flings.

Used to hear it all the time got me cut up like what.

Early Bluetooth devices used numeric codes that basically made this impossible to happen.

I watched the trailer last year even

I’m constantly reminded by how brilliant Frostpunk is

I assumed this was an Onion article by the title. It’s not.

DEI?

Even worse! You can’t even have a PSN account everywhere you can have a Steam account with this game

That isn’t how anything works. This is like those people on Facebook posting their voodoo chainmail posts about their comments and profiles. You don’t own your comments to transfer a license in the first place.

For the mom is heavy and full of boobs

The internet is full of boobs, Lemmy is no exception. Ripley’s Believe It or Not, neither is your mom.

Please don’t think this is actually hateful porfis

I don’t even think this to be honest, seems like an absurd humanist position

I’ve always thought this, and thought it strange we assumed other creatures experienced lesser levels of sentience.

It’s a meaningful statement though. Natural drinking water doesn’t have flouride added to it, it’s inclusion is frankly bizarre, and the idea that human beings think it’s good to be added is so Bizzarro World to me.

WTF? No, you shouldn’t want it added randomly to the water. I grew up with well water and my teeth are fine, don’t buy into the bullshit.
