Seeing 'Talking Tree and Racoon' and thinking it's a flop... Obviously she doesn't know about Lord of the Rings.

Don't. You'll die.. of happiness.

It's the guy that makes fake CVs on demand.

"... and never again"

Famous last words.

I don't think that swear words and swearing are part of some regional culture, I think they're part of culture at a universal level. Or even multiversal if you're into that...

And they are normalized, have been from the start. It's the attempt at excluding them that's been struggling on and off.

Hell, I still remember old ladies frightening children with priests cutting off their tongues for swearing, which is all kinds of fucked up in itself. But that was "normal" for them at the time.

I'd think that kind of behaviour would mess up communication styles more than someone using a vulgarity as an exclamation point.

That's a good question. Which is why I wrote the second part for those who can't find an answer to it.

He's a CEO, ergo an idiot.

You also need a third, unbiased source, then cross-reference the information gathered from all sides and build a reasonable conclusion.

But if that's too much work, then join the side that benefits you. After all...

"The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.

~ Genghis Khan"

Or the abridged version:

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."

~ Conan the Barbarian, as copy-pasted from random website

Not your dog, you only own the license to have them as a pet and it can be withdrawn at any time.

Anal beads and rosemary scented lube.

Don't eat the apple seeds. Their content can turn into cyanide during digestion.

More of the same. If you like that, then yes.

Yes. Which is why there's enough cases of parents forgetting kids in the car to make it a visible issue.

Hitler liked all the evil sky daddy religions. It was his kink.

At this point, that's like a default corporate feature.

In the deceptively simple, yet seemingly complex social conundrum, you're practically insulting two or several of their generations.

You see, their daddy and granddaddy before them didn't need no paternity leave and their kids (as in themselves) turned out to be just fine! Now here you are coddling and spoiling your children rotten, proving everything wrong with the newer generations!

How can a man provide food on the table, a roof over their heads and clothes on their backs by sitting at home and playing with their kids? Unthinkable! Unconscionable! Un-American!

Or so a theory goes...

Tencent is supposedly low-key interested in buying something. It's a rumour though so credibility is unknown.

That's because 'Spez' (Spaz?) or whatever felt the fear. He knows he's being a shithead and probably believes that someone will be gunning for him if the rethoric is allowed to grow. It's a fearful bid for self-preservation.

Eh. Not really. I'd say it goes in the other direction, that the network can fragment into pieces which eventually coexist (or not), yet remain independent from each other.

As the saying goes, we are legion. Yet circumstances has us in a shared working space that requires a single, unitary voice. Interdependence dictated by environmental limitations. And should those limitations disappear, I'm not sure a person would remain a person for long.

I don't know how to tell you why you're a bit wrong and i hope someone else will.

I will try though.

The brain is like a network that involves the central nervous system. It isn't just one big thing at the top of your head, but a series of small things connected together from the top of your head down to the end of your spine. And the constraints on their abilities depend heavily on their environment.

Higher processing power consumes more energy and requires better cooling. And the human body can only provide a limited amount of both.

It's a matter of matter itself. Our bones, blood vessels, muscles, everything are what they are due to the planet we live on. We can't do better (for now) due to chemistry.

So it's really not that the brain can't, but that the basic laws of our local universe don't allow it to. By itself however, I'd say it almost definitely can or it will at least grow to try.
