I mean, the name “creator” is apt. They create bullshit videos out of anything.

Doesn’t mean it’s good

Because the people that were on the cruise ship are fucking retarded and are spreading the disease

It should be case by case. Simple as that.

I’m with you on that. It will not happen

There is a value tied to the non-salary benefits. Include that in the cap.

I probably sucked at the game, but it felt like if you didn’t get the surprise attack, you would get wiped by pretty much every encounter

There is still a shitload of snail here. They’ll be fine

I was about to say no, but I still listened a bit to the last One Morning Left album after I learned the singer was caught grooming an underage girl.

It sucks because the album was in my top 5 of the last 10 years and now I can’t listen to it.

As soon as the other bandmates learned about the situation, they dissolved the band. So good on them for killing their livelihood to at least make a difference.

Your argument boils down to : If there is history of colonialism, requiring a basic level of the most spoken language is bad. Otherwise it’s good.

Society at large has been multi-cultural for as long as human written history has existed through conquest, war and trade.

There is a possibility to require people to both learn the country’s main language while keeping their culture. I live in a city where that happens on a daily basis and everyone is better for it.

We can be both upset at what our ancestors and parents did and integrate new arrivant within the current state of the society they arrive in.

Both aren’t exclusive. I get what you are saying, but I don’t see that as hypocrisy.

And again, there is a distinction between integration and assimilation.

So we should only expect immigrants to learn the current local language only if the country they immigrate to isn’t a colonialist country?

What hypocrisy?

The discussion conflates a lots of things. So to be clear :

We are talking about someone moving to a new country, not a country invading another country and forcing them to learn the new language to assimilate them.

We can be mad at China for annexing Tibet for example, forcing them to learn mandarin and forbidding them to talk to their native language.

But if I decide to go live in China, then it is not far fetched to expect me to learn mandarin, regardless of its history. It is two different things.

Context matters.

I live in Canada. Should we make real efforts to restitute Natives? Absolutely. Does that mean that we can’t expect new immigrants to learn the current local language because of our past?

We can’t change the past, but we can make better in the future and integrating new arrivants is necessary and beneficial for everyone.

The post I am replying to is specifying Canada, US and Australia. Not China.

I agree that assimilating vs integration is a different thing.

Genuine question : why do requiring a earnest effort to learn the language of the country a bad thing?

There is a shit ton of bad things about our immigration laws, but forcing immigrants to learn the local language isn’t one of them.

Language barriers isolate people and learning the local language helps reduce the isolation, benefiting everyone.

Thanks for putting it in such concise words.

I am an embedded developer so the LLM/AI is a omni-present talking point and one of my friends was saying that he loved LLMs because they could generate big chunks of code and he can go through it after and fix the mistakes.

He has the skills to fix the issues because he has a decade of non-LLM experience.

But someone that doesn’t have that experience will have a hard time finding the correct fix when the vibe code isn’t working as it should. They will rely on LLM telling them that they were right, so here is a new fix that doesn’t fix the issue.

There are game changing items combinations. But it depends also on your traits.

For example, one run, I had a cleric that shared his regeneration with other cats, and an item that gave me +3 regen if I had at least 1 armor point.

So I equipped an armor item and every turn, my cats would heal 4 hp, making them extremely tanky and making the run trivial.

But it’s hard to get a combo going.

I was talking about your “people are lazy” comment, not the colorectal cancer rise in men.

The ever increasingly pressure capitalism is putting on people is causing a lot of issues.

People are overworked, overstressed just to make through the end of the month and that causes a lot of issues. It’s reductive to blame people not cooking solely on being lazy.

And for the rich that fucks other rich people.

It’s a mega corpo. Laws don’t apply to them silly you.
