They also use a handicapped B for the double S = ß Tsk tsk. Silly Germans, but yes, one must not throw stones in their little glass houses. My native tongue, Danish, is also very nonsensical in differnet ways, but don't tell the Swedish that I told you that.

Don't tell them that I told you, but Germans are illiterate. They also think V sounds like F and stuff.

I was recently reminded how stupid ChatGPT is. I was translating some slang from Danish into English that I couldn't really find a satisfactory solution for myself. ChatGPT full on hallucinate every single fucking prompt for these slang translations nad I ended up turning to one of my colleagues instead and ask him how he would translate the slang instead and he immediately came up with a very funny and accurate translation that fit the context so much better.

The hallucinations that chaptgpt came up with were not just incorrect, it also started going into made up explanations of the history of this slang word and how it is used normally in Danish speech and how it is a compliment. In reality the slangword was a word I had made up, that fit with the context I was using it for, is NOT a compliment and is very much not something people have a history of saying in normal Danish speech. It's something that if you say it, most people will get what you mean, but it isn't something people say.

But thank you chatgpt for your creative writing session. It was a very disappointing experience.

Generally whenever anything related to translations to Danish when using American tech has always been absolutely fucking terrible. Everything is, of course, seen through the lense of American contexts so when you're Danish and using shit like Word, you always have to remember how the program thinks in English even if it's supposedly installed in Danish.

Google docs are especially terrible at this.

Chat GPT is next level terrible if you move even an inch away from clinical, Danish. I can't imagine how chatgpt would handle Southern Jut or any type of Danish dialect, really.

And when you're me, trying to translate a story that uses dialects, slang, fictional slang, broken Danish and normal Danish, you just have to accept that chatgpt is largely useless for anything other than translating at basic bitch level.

In a way that makes me feel comforted. All that fancy tech and they still aren't anywhere close to human.

You misspelled Australia.

Don't do drugs, kids.

My first thought. Feels like bait.

Okay, so you're just going to completely ignore everything I said and cherry pick me quoting you. What is with you people?

Lincoln was the one to make the difficult decisions to do away with an inhumane practice among other things and he wanted a united America. He did pretty much all the dirty work when the country was the most divided and least harmonious. Anyone who came after him and continued the work he started is a valid president in his own right, but Lincoln was the base for that future and part of why he is so remembered.

I still stand by that Lincoln isn't mostly known for the Civil War and getting shot. That may be true to you, but where I live and by most people who knows about him, he is famous for being the president who ended slavery and stood up against a cruel practice that had been protected and encouraged by the government for ages before him.

I do not understand why you are so insistent on poo-pooing on his legacy and ignoring the points I made. You don't know your own history.

I love weird succulents. My personal favourite is the Echeveria setosa forma cristata

I had a medium sized one many years ago, but it died. Luckily two of its babies survived and are still alive, but these things grow at the speed of a glacier.

Jeg bliver altid mistroisk når jeg hører folk tale om at uden religion har mennesket intet moralsk kompas.

Hard side eye.

Jeg forstår godt kristendommens påvirkning af civilisation og social adfærd og den var en af mange trappesten mod det samfund vi har i dag. Jeg har dog meget svært ved at se det som andet end en afsløring af ens egen manglende empati og medmenneskelighed når folk siger at mennesket ikke naturligt har medmenneskelighed i sig og at de skal have religion - helst en af de tre monoteistiske religioner for ikke at blive til dyriske monstre. Om nogle, så har de monoteistiske religioner da bevist at dette ikke er tilfældet.

Lad os hellere fortsætte fremad og blive ved med at udvikle os i den sociale evolution i stedet for at klamre os til religioner, der bliver mere og mere forældede.

Betyder ikke at religiøse mennesker skal tvinges til at blive ateister, men blot at vi ikke skal tvinge religion tilbage i højsædet hvor den ikke længere har noget at gøre.

You may want to ask yourself why Lincoln was shot and what the civil war was about and who started it and why? You may want to look into what Lincolns actions were throughout his presidency.

I can give you a hint: he was trying to unify people across political divides and disagreements and he is largely known for being the president who ended slavery and unified the USA. Whenever I have heard about Lincoln, that is what I have heard way before his assassination and the civil war and I have never stepped foot in America.

To boil Lincoln down to only being known for the civil war and his own assassination at best shows bad faith and at worst a terrible lack of understanding of your own history, in case you are an American yourself.

It works, yes and there probably always will be people out there who fall for it, but somethings gotta give eventually. We managed to build societies that were comparatively more stable than this and we can do it again. We have been through this shit thousands of times as a species.

A strong leader who can unite across the political divide. Reading full sentences matters. You can cherry pick any part of any sentence and twist it into whatever you want if your attitude is to not actually engage with a comment, but just to smugly point and roll your eyes at things.

For what it is worth, I personally have a hard time seeing how things won't get violent in the end, but I just wanted to share my awe of my boyfriend's ability to hold on to these values even when things are burning. I think it is admirable because I'm not like that myself.

And please stop yourself with your "oh honey". What a belittling way to engage with someone.
