  My viewing history can legally drink in US in a year. What do you mean „guess”?

  Googling at least until fairly recently meant „I consulted an index of Internet”. It is a means to get to the bit of information.

  Asking ChatGPT is like asking a well-behaved parrot in the library and believing every word it says instead of reading the actual book the librarian would point you towards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Happiness can mean either of two things: joy and contentment.

  While it might be possible to feign elation, contentment, I’d argue, is harder to convey externally and near impossible to fool yourself about.

  Marginalized groups need activism - it’s a survival tool. For the same reason, if any obligation to activism exists, it’s for those that don’t need it.

  Placing obligations onto those who are already burdened is immoral.

  Salaryman Kintaro. It wields absurdity just right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what point when learning a new language do someone become bilingual?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bilingualism is a bit overloaded nowadays, which I find kinda annoying given that word “polyglot” exists.

  Anyways, if you can freely use another language in an informal exchange with a few people of different sobriety levels while failing to remember key words and recovering from that - you’re a fluent polyglot. Ability to exchange information is a key part of what language is, and that’s how you measures your proficiency.

  Bilingual can also mean “natively proficient in two languages”. And if you’re older than three years old and are not native speakers of multiple languages already, the chances of you becoming one are slim.

  Native proficiency is a result of a language acquisition ability that is not well understood and disappears early into child development. It results in a level of effortless mastery that seems to be impossible to achieve as an adult, i.e. a dedicated or merely attentive native speaker will be able to recognize that you are not one.
