A lot of countries do have tourist areas where staff are taught to speak English and will take USD. Like the only places in Spain I went where someone didn’t speak English were a beauty store and a taxi stand. Otherwise there was always at least one who spoke English. The card reader allowed me to choose between USD and Euros. Touristy areas are designed to accommodate foreigners.

Did they complete rehab? Do they have a recommendation letter? Do they pass a drug test? I’d be more concerned about that.

I can’t speak to dominos, but most pizza places have switched to using apps for delivery. Except, since you’re not the one booking through the app, there’s no option to set the tip ahead of time, so your food is guaranteed to take an hour and be cold.

It’s not conservative, it’s nazism. Compassion is banned, building a strong society? forget about it.

If you refuse to consider anything other than randomized control trials science, then you believe we don’t have proof that smoking causes cancer.

but it’s still a question because I’m not 100 percent sure of my point of view.

Good. Your viewpoint is irrational. That means, it’s not based on facts or evidence. It’s completely made up based on your mind’s interpretation. Nothing in real life suggests anything like that will happen. I see from your post history that you like to write fiction. That can be a somewhat common issue for authors. They spend so much time in their own heads making things up, that they lose track of the line between what they’re making up and what’s around them. You occasionally see stories about crime novelists who murder. They spent so much time writing about it that they start to genuinely believe the world works like the things they write. It’s important to keep yourself grounded in reality. Language models randomly generate words based on the statistical relationship between the words. Meaning, you input words, and it tries to output words that are commonly associated. It doesn’t know what the words say. It cannot think. It is not actually answering your question.

It depends on the context. Some people might consider their family information to be private and not want to share that with random strangers.

How rainy is your area? If it rarely rains, you don’t need to cover it.

Acknowledge your own limitations. The reason you think in the way that you do is that you were taught to think that way. You have been exposed to thousands of ideas that form the foundation of your belief system, and you can’t convey those efficiently over a few social media posts. You can’t teach everything to everyone.

Some people absolutely are born fucked up, but way, way more people are just born into fucked up situations and neglected until they explode.

"Simply put, the better alternative to prison is to create and put people in social environments that don’t tolerate crime in the first place. " what does that look like in practice, if not prison/execution.

It looks like early social intervention that helps people succeed without breaking the law. The reason American society is this fucked up is the fallacy that everyone is responsible for themselves. Absolutely none of the rich would be rich without extensive support given to them in every aspect of their lives.

To be honest I only interpret that kind of messaging as “buy my course!” shilling. nobody in real life believes that, so I just disregard it as if I was reading an ad. barely notice it.

It has to be Oatly. Some people like the Califa Farms Barista edition too, but they’re wrong. It has to be Oatly. Different brands have more sweetness or fat or whatever.

The territory of Kaliningrad belongs to Lithuania. It’s not like there isn’t enough space in Russia, give me a break.

No, I would teach it standard, the onset of colonialism through the end of the cold war. I think what makes it fun is the level of engagement you can have with the students and the different types of media you can use to teach.

Intro world history. Just a fun one to teach.

No VPN here. It “works” in that you can click it and it sends you to youtube’s site. I cannot watch on Lemmy.

When you embed YT on Lemmy, it does not work whether you are logged in or not.

they talked about both, but they talked more about Russia.

you saw everything that happened afterward in Russia, right?

have you ever used that random book generator? no matter how much you click it, it’s never going to randomly generate something workable. there are way more unusable combinations of letters than usable ones. I think the same principle would apply. you’d just get string after string of random, discordant sounds.
