all of the things you listed make up or result from national character. besides some short interludes, for example, Japan has had the same party in power since 1955. it's a weird thing to deny the existence of. different nations act di

and so were many British towns and cities. atrocity /= genocide. how does the speaking German or non-existence of the commenter follow?

so there not being the difference between a human and a kangaroo or a frog and a bat means that the difference between an Argentine and a Japanese person isn't real either? literally meaningless analogy

the reason LLMs use that jovial, overly friendly tone is because it's so common in journalism and marketing. this article does smell of ChatGPT, but there's absolutely no way to know for sure. people using LLMs annoy me just as mu

if energy is a problem then surely we'd just build global recycling plants at geothermal hotspots? it's not like shipping is a problem. the sense I get is that the main bottleneck with recycling isn't energy, but labour. hand

they likely, and probably correctly, do not want you as a customer. people who are discerning and conscious like this generally use an adblocker, and even if you don't, are generally less easily influenced by adverts in the first place

so perhaps it's the reverse then, but nonetheless, it does not mean goodbye now

>Person seeing me walk out the door: "Cheers! See you tomorrow!". you're suggesting a family member might say this as you were leaving?

by permo-w 1y ago
this is an interesting point. perhaps then the original meaning covered goodbye and it's drifted towards mostly meaning thank you, but then there's some drift back towards goodbye? god but language is complicated though. undoubted

>and yes even "see you later". this being my point. how do you know that what you were hearing wasn't someone saying thanks as they were leaving?

by permo-w 1y ago
the British slang version of the word "cheers" is a very good example of this. I can tell you for absolute certain that the most people use the word "cheers" to mean "thanks", but if you go online and look up t
