  • Speaking the language doesn’t mean knowing the context.

    I feel strongly that this is still why London slang exists.

    Calling you a berk won’t get me a ban probably, no matter what it actually stands for. And I’m not calling you that, just to make sure to point that out.

    Im Finnish, and while you can use “Finnish person”, colloquially we’re known as Finns. But please don’t try using the same logic for Pakistan.



  • Hmm, I wonder if it is actually. I think it’s just a euphemism for it’s wrong how" or “it’s weird how we as people keep allowing this to happen in a democratic world”, but I honestly don’t think it’s sarcasm.

    I get the point and I write that way all the time too, but I thought to see what happens if I just stop participating in the pretense of it being weird.

    But yes maybe it is just sarcasm, but like the same sort of rhetoric is often used to talk about problems which are sort of too complex and large to easily assert something which should or even could be done.

    But yes. Sarcasm.


  • I’m no small-dicked overweight authoritarian dictator, but if I had to make guesses as to their thoughts, I’d say Putler was on the ropes last year, but since he managed to affect US elections enough that Trump won, Putler basically won.

    Now unless Europe takes the agreession or at least strongly unifies behind Ukraine, Ukraine might be forced into some kind of deal. I don’t belive they will go for any, so that’s not gonna work from Putler, despite him making Trump push it.

    But since Trump is actively burning down the US, I believe your assumption about a North-American war.

    If that happens though, Europe will weaken, and Putler could decide to ally with Xi Pooh, and… I don’t know who the fuck would stop them at that point.

    But… if world order is already a bit fucked at that point I propose legalising drugs to make it an actually usable market which will generate wealth (and we should already but no-one listens), because drug markets are global, so then South America might actually start straightening itself out if the cartels could see reason. (They’re brutal, but idk how many of them are actually ideologically fascist more than capitalist.)

    I really wish I’m wrong, but I predicted drump’s colonialist ambition over Canada years ago. I also remember being laugh at by everyone around the table at a diner so saying conservatives were making nazism acceptable again. Well guess what.

    Me too man. I read an NBCNews article today about Greenland and the way it was written, oh boy. Putler has given Trump a little bit of friendly advise on what sort of propaganda to start spreading. Or Putler is doing it for Trump idk.

    But it’s clear they’re trying to influence Greenland and eventually will support independence for it, so it’ll become less stable and better to be annexed in some way or another, by either Putler or Trump.

    I’m sure Putler would love a base on Greenland.


  • Bixby is better at basic tasks on the phone, like a calendar meeting.

    Gemini is better at controlling my lights and to talk about something not too objective, like asking about cooking recipes. Or it’s not bad if you need to calculate solution strengths while mixing drinks or smth. But aside from maths and other fixed constants, it’s really shit at any sort of facts.

    You can not get a reliable answer to as when a show/movie is airing because the times announced usually shift a bit and the datasets are old. In last December, before Kraven the Hunter was premiering, I asked it when that would be. It told me, in December 2024, that “Kraven the Hunter will premier in May 2024” or something. As in the future tense. And date 6 months in the past.

    So yeah.

    They’re useful for certain things but they’re still far from anything akin to Jarvis, lol. I’ve been meaning to give the one free month of Gemini Pro a go just out of curiosity at some point to see whether it’s equally shit.

    I can definitely see potential in these. It’s pretty nice being able to control my lights just by telling my phone what colour where, how much light. Also I use it for a smart plug on my screen so when I’m watching things in bed I can just hit pause and tell google to shut my screen off for me instead of having to get out of bed or put it on standby (because then the annoying blue led will stay on).

    A sushi chef would be poor in teaching me about cooking fish, yes, but I believe I know cooking more than fish, and a sushi chef would be very good to teach me about fish.

    You see? I can’t communicate how amusing it is for me to stay "you see? " to you but I will try; you are Drusas, who one commented about my chosen nickname, as it was similar to yours.

    The reason this amused me, or is ironic, is that my name is “Jussi”, which sounds sort of like “you see”. And the thing I like to do is mansplain. So… you see?

    Nominative determinism.


  • Yeah salmon isnt’ too hard and cod goes pretty easy in fishsticks basically, but I don’t know how to optimise it. I don’t get the feel for the meat like I do with when I cook, for example, steaks and want them rare. I mean yeah I do use a digital thermometer with steaks to get them optimal, but my point is I wouldn’t even know with fish what the optimal is.

    Like salmon and cod, yeah, easy enough and you find things at the store. But once I tried making soup out of this pike we caught and it was just… way overcooked. I messed it up, totally.

    So I’d like to get that sort of intuitive feel and understanding I have for mammalian meat to fish meat as well. Like I understand with mammalian meat if it’s fattier it’ll cook differently, if it’s this or that it’ll affect it this way or that, but I don’t know shit about fish, you know? Like if I was a millionaire, I’d hire a high-grade sushi chef to teach me about fish or something.
