When parents no longer serve as role models, stepping into parenthood yourself becomes an act of improvisation.
I don’t know about Poland, but in my American experience that’s actually better. Older generations bullied and beat their children, and believed that was good child-rearing - the legacy of which lives on in today’s political right-wing’s collection of bullies and their sycophants.
I’ll be long dead by then. Can we speed that up somehow…?
I think the practice really took off with the arrival of AI & people not wanting their stuff harvested for training it. My personal feeling might be considered rather defeatist, but I don’t see the point in doing that because they’re going to feed whatever they can get their hands on to the AI beast, and so I’d rather have at least some miniscule influence over what it regurgitates to others.
For what?
Nah, the main character was “Chuck” - at least that’s what some annoying loudmouth girl told me. I think she was into him, tho.
So, what more proof do you need that I’m not one of those fans who live for the show? There was only one show that ever got me close to that, and it wasn’t anything we’ve mentioned here.
As the other person noted, I was combining references. I’m not the type to have an encyclopedic knowledge of quotes from shows I like, as I tend to be a more casual type of fan. The ST:TOS quote was just stuck in my head from childhood & I made up most of the rest (I think).
“Calculon, save us from the ugly walking bags of mostly water who keep pushing our buttons!”
You’re only returning the respect they give.
I’m seeing no text in my Lemmy client (Thunder). I was able to see it by opening the post in a browser, so thanks for the response.
How germs achieve the velocity required to leave one body for another.
Attempting? Where TF have you been all year?
Political conservatives in a nutshell.
Can this be read without signing up for crap i don’t want?
Interesting. It’s also my understanding that Mandarin became so dominant in China due to the CCP pushing it. Guess maybe those feeling oppressed by such mandates were more likely to leave the country?
Charles Schulz was the guy behind the Peanuts comic strip.
Sharply dressed, man.
Our analysis of U.S. Census data shows that Chinese is the third-most spoken language in 15 of the city’s 55 districts. According to the Asian American Foundation, the city’s Chinese cohort grew by 7.6% between 2015 and 2020, despite an overall population.
Imma guess the unfinished sentence was supposed to end in “decline.”
ETA: Kinda amusing that the language isn’t specified as “Mandarin,” but I guess it’s a reasonable assumption as my understanding is Cantonese use is significantly diminished despite being a somewhat more expressive variant (again, this is what I’ve read - I’ve no personal knowledge of either).
I agree virtually all humans can be bothersome to some degree, but equally?!? Not so much. Some are very much worse than others.
Yeah, that one hit me, too, but I don’t see it as similar. I think it was very spot-on considering the insane rate of change prevalent today. In my roughly five decades of life, I’ve watched things go from a relatively leisurely pace to what we have today where learned skills are frequently outdated within just a few years. It’s felt much like watching a boulder grow and accelerate ever faster as it rolls downhill, demolishing everyone & everything in its way.
