Had a similar experience. I took a very popular comment with racist remarks about white people and then replaced white with black to show the hypocrisy. Instant ban. These people work very hard on antagonising anyone that isn't far left.
I'm disappointed so many people give credence to the Guardian. They have abysmal track record in reporting on topics they don't have expertise in or subjects they ideologically disagree with.
To me adding Zealandia as a separate continent would just add to confusion. Especially that the community is still divided on classifying it as a continent or not.
Well, knowing what gemini is about I fully expect the assistant to enforce using custom pronouns and "inclusive" language or else you will be cut off the service.
I still think there are scenarios where brutal is the right way. For Poland, Russia is an existential threat. What they've been doing for a while is piggybacking on the increased immigrant traffic between Belarus and Poland and inject their people to stir shit and makes things worse.
If Poland indiscriminately let every undocumented immigrant in we'd be at risk of serious internal issues, sabotages, espionage etc.
I will probably get down-voted into oblivion for this opinion but it's 2024 so maybe I'm stuck in the 80s mentally.
There was a large group of Chechen men who didn't really look like they were fleeing from anything. All big dudes with evident military backgrounds. It's just scary when you have a neighbour like this.
Just a nitpick from a cosmology aficionado. According to many physicists time doesn't really exist, it's just an emergent property of heat and laws of thermodynamics.
Imagine a clock, its hands moving because there is energy stored in the clock's mechanisms. Now, if you suddenly drop temperature to absolute zero then atoms in this clock and everywhere around it stop "vibrating" and everything just stops. You will be unable to perceive the flow of time because the system you find yourself in is completely static, there's no change occuring in it.
This doesn't apply to relativity, if you're interested so it looks like we are yet to discover the nature of time.
I'm 45yo, grew up in Poland. I will never forget walking with my father near Polish-Czechoslovakian border when he said to not get too close to the border or I get shot. No one thought it was racist or bigoted to defend your borders against people who try to cross it illegally. It's interesting how drastically this has changed. I still can't say if it's for the better or worse because both approaches have risks and benefits.
