I get that AI is creating a ton of toil to maintainers but this is not the solution.
1) English people do not know anything about continental Europe
2) Americans do not know anything about Europe
The fact Heathrow got 30/40% more traffic than other airports in the same continent already having it doesn’t make the news worth all this noise.
Any diabetic person must have heard and read this recommendation a thousand times.
The actual scenario to worry about is if the number is too high and a close loop system make so the pump injects too much insulin.
Both aim at using an English that is safe, controlled and policed for fear of negative evaluation.
It’s okay if you wanna keep the head in the sand. I get it. It’s better if you don’t know any better. People who are themselves ignorant cannot see other people gaps.
Btw look up the reasons Coca Cola rebranded the Coke Zero to Coke Zero Sugar, and why it all stemmed from UK.
I feel shame for how easy was for me to get a great life in this country when most locals struggle with social mobility.
I get that full fat coke is an idiomatic phrase but it stems from honest ignorance towards macronutrients. I am a diabetic type 1, I had to explain that carbohydrates and alcohol can affect your blood like sugar to endless British people lol
Please, if you are monolingual and monoculture, just have some healthy skepticism about well eradicated habits in this society. That’s what I want to inspire in my friends
I lived here for over 20 years. Speak other two languages natively because my parents were from two different European countries. This is an informed opinion not hearsay!
Also those people don’t say full fat coke referring to a regular coke because they did biology instead of just math and physics from 15 years old and don’t have £80k of student loan to repay.
UK is suffering from the education it offers its people.
This is apparent in the law system having to be super simple to be understood to a point that it is not fair. For example, the £100k treshold for child benefits that is per person instead of per family income because people would struggle to follow it.
There are many examples to this. I wish all British people would speak another language properly and spend some time in continental Europe instead of comparing themselves to USA on matters of education and welfare.
There is a reason why these people dominate the top 1% jobs in tech in London.
I am flattered you read my bio but I don’t actually live in Germany lol
UK education is flawed already by the time a student reach tertiary.
A levels, by focusing pnly on few subjects, leave such a gap in people that I would go as far as adding it to the reasons for the country issues.
People in the UK, even if they study at Oxford, are likely more ignorant than many Europeans having done classical studies in high school.
Preventing any modern chat/voice feature under the excuse of wanting to protect children from online danger is a laughable as it is solvable by expanding the parental control features.
I am optimistic regarding this as Nintendo seem have turned its vision to taking a bit more risks as hinted in games like Super Mario Wonder that try to innovate in the multiplayer space. You'd say that that is not much but very few would have foreseen such a move from Nintendo.
