I guess because of the long distance. It is about 200 km. Water is fluid, but not completely frictionless. A little height difference can only pull so much.

The term brain rot might be somewhat misleading, but yes, the problem is real.

This here.

Rule 6

And despite the catastrophic failure, they still said that they love Google and use all of its products — they just didn’t expect it to release a program that can make a massive error such as this

Greetings from Darwin.

cameras in homes and businesses and using the footage to make sexually exploitative materials

How stupid!

It is OK to have a camera that is connected to the internet. But then have it look there where you undress?

I wonder when the first data breach reaches 9 billion people or more.

while their kids sounds like Norwegian native speakers.

But isn’t that actually an indication for strong assimilation? You can’t expect everybody to be a language genius :) but on the other end of the spectrum there could be sub-cultures that last for many generations.

The best one is the show in the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.

Revenge is never worth it.

Never. No matter what ‘it’ is.

Well, if it costs you absolutely nothing… you might think. But here in this case you are talking about a case where it costs you a lot. So: don’t!

And even if you think that it costs you absolutely nothing, then it still costs you your nerve, a whole lot of extra negativity going round and round in your brain, etc. Better detach yourself from all of it.

I use names that may seem creative, but have no real meaning. Just made from spontaneous ideas.

I always have several of them (prepared or in use), because you never know when some ultra crazy mod turns up.

Is this actually a specific day somewhere?

All the online shops I know are having “black Friday” for some weeks and I don’t know (and don’t care) when it ends.

Whoever says such BS … it is still BS

Not really sad, because I know where I go afterwards.

What do you think shapes someone’s views

Role models.

Parents, other relatives, people that you considered important during your whole youth.

Usually you watch them how they live their life and what important decisions they make for their life, and then you decide (consciously or unconsciously) to copy some of it in your own life.

The more I think about things, and how well stuff works in other countries, i believe it’s due to the sheer size and demographic makeup of the country.

I think it is rather because they were all outlaws and outcasts in their beginning, and then some day they made money, and that was all they had dreamed about, and so they simply never changed. If you divide the so-called states now into sovereign areas, they would immediately start fights everywhere.

You would have your next civil war faster than you can say “Putin”.

What is “now”? Seems you have more than one “nows” - or your variation makes no sense.

That machine decides before you in time, but after you in logic - otherwise it would not be a perfect prediction. So you can never decide for an empty track.

That’s not a problem. It is just an exercise in reading. Two possibilities remain. In one, you kill 1 person. In the other, you kill 3 persons. (the empty track “exists” only if you do not use it).

Language. The dialect from home.
