Honestly malls are thriving where I live, and I go regularly to extremely large crowds. I know it's a trend worldwide, but if all I knew was my local city, I would have no idea.

You got voted down, but this is absolutely real. I speak multiple languages, but none with the nuance and clarity of context as I do English. I communicate with folks all across the world that are all English speakers, however, the variance in comprehension is so drastic that at times we're really not using the same language, even if we're using some of the same words.

If you emigrate to a country, it's a reasonable expectation that you'll learn the language. The United States doesn't technically have an official language, English is just de facto, but from a practical standpoint it's absolutely occupying that role, and will in perpetuity.

I can absolutely agree with the premise that being frustrated with language barriers isn't racism, it's an actual real and realized impediment to understanding.

Poor Starbound, forgotten to the ages...

That reminds me of stingers for strings and wings for flings.

Used to hear it all the time got me cut up like what.

Early Bluetooth devices used numeric codes that basically made this impossible to happen.

Same thing I thought, unless there isn't a place for a lock.

I am kinda glad, and it reminds me of early Digg. When I first used Digg, it didn't tailor the order or content of anything to you, it didn't use an algorithm to keep throwing content at you, changing the order of what you see, and Lemmy reminds me of this.

I'm not here up be addicted or scroll endlessly, if anything, Lemmy feels healthier, like I can walk away and do something else.

I mean, not UK, but I use it hourly, at least for the hours I'm awake.

I think of this as being straight up horrifying. This isn't exciting, this is going to be dystopian nightmare fuel. It's not hard to imagine this being imbedded into human beings against their will too, like prisoners in the US.

I would rather be a Borg, at least they were motivated by a collective good will to move to perfection, not puppets of a dying capitalist state and it's related ideology.

No, I don't see any possible solution to continuity of consciousness. See Walk like a Dinosaur to understand the implications, but basically you would need to destroy the original and duplicate it from scratch.

If there is such a thing as a soul, it would likely be impossible to duplicate, but even if not, you would have to destroy the original.

I miss these, they were so funny. Absolutely a meme.
