You can teach a Japanese kid English or in English kid Japanese if you provide them with a highly enriched environment, but no matter how much you and enrich your environment, you will never be able to train a cocker spaniel to read Chaucer aloud.
I don't understand, these guys love it when people get arrested for political speech. What's the problem?

The physical copies haven't arrived yet, but I think it's pretty neat seeing the metadata for my books in the national archive and in worldcat, the global book cataloging system.
It's mandatory to submit anyway, but I still think it's neat having my work as part of a permanent national archive and international library metadata list.

Anyone who has spent time around women knows that nobody hates women more than other women. It simply isn't possible.
Don't try, you just don't have that capacity.

When these politicians say stuff like this, usually you can go back and find some huge lie that they've said. I always want to ask: "what punishment are you willing to accept today for your misinformation and disinformation?"
Oddly enough, that doesn't seem like they thought that far ahead.

Before Musk bought Twitter I ran a small test: I searched hashtag killallblacks and then hashtag killallwhites.
The former was all about how bad it would be if someone said that. The latter was about how good it would be if someone did it.
Considering the state of Twitter at the time, the only conclusion I can come to is that those were all the acceptable opinions.

You could probably cut bikini sales by quite a lot just by making sure to post a picture of the guy who invented the bikini on every one. "This guy designed what you're about to put on to look sexy at the beach"
There are lots of five out of 10 anime that I really enjoyed. I haven't watched that anime yet, because I think I'm still reading the light novel series. Between everything I feel like my reading has dropped off I should probably get back on that.
I always think back to the mid-2000s when it turned out that the United States was pursuing an official policy of torture.
At that time, rather than accept that torture is evil and not something that liberal democracy should be doing, they just double down. "Yeah we tortured people, and it was the right thing to do and we would do it again."
Shockingly, it worked. Nobody really seems to care anymore that the government tortures people or violates Fourth amendment rates en masse, or does any of the things that they do. Things like MK Ultra turn out to be true and responsible for radicalizing homegrown US terrorists like the Unabomber, and that doesn't seem even worth the discussion.
I feel like if anyone was really in danger we'd be seeing that taking place, a huge campaign to minimize the damage that occurred and effectively turn it into background noise. It's all just political games at this point. Nobody thinks they're really in danger on either side of the political spectrum, they're just hoping to score some points before the ride stops.

It's like "I like the internet, but why is it a global internetwork? Seems like a waste"
That's it's raison d'etre. Without federation, there is no fediverse, and without a fediverse it's just another Twitter clone.

I've been very consistent on this: Canada's greatest renewable resource is hydroelectric, and it's a resource we should be developing anywhere it's practical.
Living in Manitoba was pretty interesting because the hydroelectric meant the electricity was cheap enough you didn't really hurt if you were using electric to heat your home. Of course, we would need to stop importing a million people per year. At the end of the day you import all these people who need to not die of cold in the winter, eventually you're only option is fossil fuels.

I know a guy who had electric heat in his house. His monthly electric bill was almost $1000. He installed a propane furnace and the season cost as much as one month. He paid for the install with the difference immediately.
I like how we used to have paper cups and plastic straws, now we have plastic cups and paper straws.
Of course, the worse dating advice in human history includes things like "go outside" and "be yourself".
