When Americans of all political stripes finally wake up to global realty, they'll most likely do it lying on a sidewalk, naked in the rain, with their fingers in their ears saying na-na-na-na-na-na...
People will eventually have to face that the economic golden age of the 1950s and 60s wasn't a normal state we can return to if greedy billionaires just let us. The rich definitely grabbed the biggest share of the prosperity, but that brief era of prosperity wasn't normal, it was entirely abnormal, and it's been over for quite a while. We've been fooling ourselves and keeping it going for the last half century by living on credit, and that's about to end. I don't know what new era is about to start, but the American era is over.
No idea, the justifications would have been discussed in Congress. The "Big Beautiful Bill Act" (HR1) section 100052 just says $29,850,000,000 is allocated for Immmigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Yes, the question itself is too simplistic for a meaningful answer without lots of conditions and qualifications. It just invites highly polarized apples vs oranges arguments.
Minor flex, I'm actually pretty good at solving these without any letters. It used to drive my parents crazy. Not much use unless you are able to get on that show.
I would expect that an AI designed to be a life coach would be trained on a lot of human interaction about moods and feelings, so its responses would simulate picking up emotional clues. That's assuming the designers were competent.
Depends on how you take it. When you say anyone who doesn't have a neurological disorder can do something it puts a negative light on people who haven't done it. Not being multilingual is a common negative statement about Americans, for example, always comparing them with Europeans. But most Americans don't live close to multiple places where different languages are prevalent, as in Europe, so their only reason to learn other languages is purely academic. Similar to the average person's motivation to learn calculus. I think I framed it pretty realistically - certainly with more brevity.
IDGAF if it's the best (mint), it was easy to install, easy to transition to from Windows, and in 6 months hasn't given me any trouble. I just wanna use my computer.
I thought federated meant people see your posts no matter where you log in. But if going to piefed means you're "leaving" lemmy, kthxbye I guess. I don't see the need for an announcement.
TBH that sounds like saying anybody can become "fluent" in calculus if they just apply themselves. In my experience that's just not the case. People have different aptitudes. You might be right that with sufficient motivation and unlimited time, anyone without a neurological disorder could theoretically learn a language, but in a real-life context where people have a lot of other concerns and responsibilities going on, I think it's much more reasonable to say "probably but it depends."
"Our dancers have infinite curves" is clearly hyperbole.
