red_pigeon,

Also one or a few people turning it off doesn’t matter much. The tech giants still get their demographic statistics from the ones who haven’t (which is the larger percentage of the population). You could be spending money on things based on targeted ads for your demographic.

In other words, you are creeped out about wondering what they could do with your personal data if you turn it on. But you should be even more creeped out about how your daily decisions are already influenced by them using others data

red_pigeon,

Is it still small if we include Africa in the group ?

red_pigeon,

A wasted opportunity to natively support these features and make the user base happy.

red_pigeon,

Or just be clear about it - Porn mode.

red_pigeon,

Not sure if you are talking about your country or generalising all over the world. What you said is not true where I’m from, if the latter.

red_pigeon,

Yes if it was intentionally and carefully planned according to the actors age. I understand it takes a lot of commitment, but wondering if there is such a movie out there where it is an important part of the plot as well.

red_pigeon,

Oh wow

Are the languages that can be fluently spoken only if you are descendent of a particular community/country ?

I find it amazing that if a child is brought up in a community/country different from the origin of the child, the child is still able to pick up and speak their language fluently. Our ability, as humans, to imitate and communicate is incredibly complex regardless of where we are from....

red_pigeon, (edited )

Sorry that is not what I’m asking. Of course anyone can learn skills. But there are certain mannerisms that are imprinted on us because we are from a certain community.

My question is if there exists a language that let’s say among two children (one from the same country, but one from a different one) going through the same upbringing, but the non-native child cannot be as fluent as the native child ?

red_pigeon, (edited )

May be. Would things like facial structure impact the fluency of the language ?

But I’m wondering more about communities than ethnicity. For example, my native language is difficult (not impossible) for someone brought up outside the community to speak.

My question is are there languages that one cannot be fluent in even if you are brought up in that community.

red_pigeon,

No. Non native. But brought up in the same culture. I guess it didn’t make a difference then. Chatgpt gave a weird response, so I thought I’d check with people with more knowledge about this.

red_pigeon,

Ah interesting

red_pigeon,

No idea what race theory is. But what you say does makes sense. As an adult, yes it is mostly dependent on not being used to. But as another user pointed out, there are some languages with clicks in it that are difficult for someone outside the community to speak.

red_pigeon,

Oh no I didn’t mean incapacity. I meant fluency. One could be mildly or extremely fluent. Was wondering if origin makes a difference.

red_pigeon,

I know. It is useful for laying some context though

red_pigeon,

Great thanks

red_pigeon,

Ok. I thought I’ll clear things up. Yes I had received the relevant responses and I’m happy with the answers I got.

But I’d like to bring attention to comments like yours or the one prior to it, because I see such comments throughout lemmy. It assumes the worst from someone’s post/comment and gives a negative spin for the discussion.

My question was genuine and if you must know it arose from my curiosity that if there will be a language that I cannot be 100% fluent in even if I try. Thought I’d ask with others.

But now I’m wondering if any of my comments were offensive and reading through them again I don’t think I was (hence this response). Again since I’m a non native English speaker, I apologise if it were.

But the whole discussion has moved away from the original point. I had never heard of Eugenics, which from the little I read now, are deeply disturbing concepts. I’m sad that my question could be compared to it.

The point is to ask stupid questions here. And mine was stupid enough. I got my responses from others. But please stop this trend of putting words into people’s mouths and negativistic spin on things. It doesn’t brew a healthy community. People will fear asking questions here (or anywhere in Lemmy).

red_pigeon,

Well if you can’t tell the difference. There is nothing more to say.

Hope you can look at the world more positively and leave the rest of us alone.

What's stopping people who lash out at the world from going after corporations?

Obviously violence isn’t ever the answer but I’m just curious, when people go nuts and decide to take life and cause terror, what makes their decision to attack something like say a school or a church/mosque, a sporting event. As far as I see it in this day and age the biggest stressors in our society are corporations yet...
