Interesting. Thanks, and I definitely take your point, though I don’t know much about Russia or Russians aside from a “history of Russia and China” class in college.

Also TIL prosody 😁.

We’re talking about different things.

You’re talking about social dynamics, and what I’m talking about is more general than that.

There’s a certain range of emotions and certain root emotions that are common to everyone but there’s also a great deal of variation between people that speak different languages.

The language you grow up with shapes how you think at a very low level. How you process information, how you see the world.

For example, I read about a study, presumably about Mandarin, that explained an interesting difference between how Chinese people and English speaking people themselves in the future.

In Mandarin, the language sort of forces you to see your future self as self-same to your current self and this causes Chinese people to be much much better about saving money for the future. On the other hand the English language causes one to think of the future self as a different person and it makes it more difficult to identify that future self as truly you.

I tried to find the article for you but couldn’t. The concept is called self-continuity.

Another place I’ve seen this present is in software design, oddly. I used a tool at a previous job that was largely developed by people that didn’t have English as a first language. It had a very clear logic to it and made sense, but everything was put together in ways that were initially counterintuitive.

This also applies to how foreign speakers emote. Like I said, all the root emotions are pretty much identical, but there’s a lot of nuance and a good number of emotions that are not universally represented and not experienced as often (sometimes not at all) in due to lack of language for it. Saudade is an example of it. Not only does it not translate, but it’s not universally experienced.

Anyway, I was more or less “squirreling”.

So, on your phone, look in settings. Search for “feedback”, select device feedback, and tell them directly.

Conversation is important but I’m guessing Google is not going to read this thread.

anything taken out of context, such as quoting a politician,

Perhaps the goal?

First thought was, interesting way to acquire toxoplasmosis, via the wanderings of a bodega cat.

A while ago I signed into x using a Gmail account. Mostly I was being hasty and careless. Never really used the account even. Forgot about it.

Recently I went and deleted the account, but when I log in, the first thing I see is a ridiculous antisemitic conspiracy theory.

That’s the default algorithm.

I think I understand it just fine.

I meant express.co.uk. I mean… To get a guy’s hopes up that it’s something serious…

Totally spot on about fox though.even internally, they don’t call it news, they refer to it as entertainment.

It only sorta looks like news.

I actually didn’t get very far at all into it. It made me too anxious and depressed. What you’re saying is totally valid though. People that speak different languages literally have different sets of emotions and different emotional expressions for emotions of the same name.

Eg., I’ve never experienced saudade (Portuguese, I think), It doesn’t really exist in English speaking countries.

Fuckin click bait teasing people like that… Those journalists should be ashamed.

This is good. I have time to PLAN the de-googlification. Nice.

Nice reference.

I would be really shocked if it hasn’t already happened and we just haven’t heard about it yet.

The purpose of life is to gather data and reflect the universe around it through adaptation.

It is without intrinsic meaning but the meaning that I give to it is to try to end all suffering.

I handle it by aggressively treating my depression and suicidal ideation so that I can be there for my kids next year.

I dunno, ii figured it’s mass produced due to the celery juice flavor (nitrite preservative) and is therefore benefiting from an economy of scale.

The way the economy is going, you’re probably right.

Thanks for the reminder. Accidentally logged in with a Google account a while back and haven’t deleted the account since because I forget to because I never use it. When I went to delete it today the first thing that I saw was some kind of anti-semitic bullshit.

Top.

Fucking.

Post.

I hadn’t interacted with the platform and that’s the first fucking thing I saw.
