Live action at that

Why did you mention git twice?

It wasn’t supposed to be the revolution, it was sold like it was.

As a revolution, it relies on infinite applicability of Moore’s law to storage medium. In other words, it relies on infinite growth. It never left the square one.

It’s all about being comfortable with not knowing when you need to act. Believing that you can learn everything upfront is pure hubris, and once you hurt yourself enough times, you just drop the pretense.

In other words, life is Bayesian, not frequentist.

It’s not about business optimization, it’s about not having to defer to someone’s knowledge from the position of power.

AI bubble makes so much sense when you start looking at it this way.

Could?

“Permaban” is the word you’re looking for.

Problem is, the first half of your statement is dependent on the latter half. That’s not a choice for Ukraine, but a fallback strategy.

Letting Russia win introduces continuous genocide and forced conscription for war against EU states issue. Pick your poison.

By February, Ukraine is gone. They already struggle not to win, but just to exist. European aid is not enough, and Ukraine will disappear from maps. The Baltics are next. Moldova is next. Poland is next. Georgia is next. Finland is next. Taiwan is gone. South Korea might survive, but won’t ever look the same. NATO is gone. Chinese and ruzzian influence in Africa and South America will grow tenfold. There is no superpower to keep ruzzia and china and north korea and iran in check anymore. Worst, when WWIII start, you will be on the Axis side.

All of that is a win for them. They are not leftist, they are autocratic revanchists. Hurting undesirables was always more important to them than helping others or even themselves, it’s just the definition of “undesirables” that they disagree on with far right.

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.

It’s not “people vs persons” but “those people vs they”.

Conversationally, “those/these” distances you from the group you are talking about, which is humorously weird when it’s your family you’re talking about.

It’s not the meaning of the words, but habitual (and often fleeting) attribution around them that tripped you up.

PS: “People” are uncountable, “persons” are countable. That’s basically the whole difference between the two plurals. Although it’s rapidly disappearing, as “ten people” won’t raise a single eyebrow in a conversation.

There are actually five people in the picture.

If you know, you know.

You can even set it up for multiple users on both deck and PS5. The tool will help you set up profiles and profile shortcuts too.

Ten and a half. And that’s only if we discount Tuzla island dispute and continuous attempts to take control of politics and economy.

Occupying a country that size doesn’t take a mere week. So no, it won’t.

You’re one link click away from understanding why your message is stupid. Question is whether it’s message alone.

Or Star Control 2 Hyperspace theme.

Did you systemically persecute Indian business owners in Britain, escalating it to ethnic cleansing?

The analogy is historically exact.
