You’re pretty much asking “why can’t I change my email”

You can make a new one if you want.

All they did was to add another bit. From 1 to 10

The context is not that complicated. But im not the one who thinks serving and controlling are the same thing. You can be controlled and serve at the same time. But that doesn’t make them the same thing. Not even in context, especially not in context.

The fact you can’t even discern between the two while trying to make a point is dissapointing.

Yes. Well done. Words does have different meanings. Some idiot previously said “its the same thing.”

Which is why I made the comment that they are not. The same thing. Glad you agree.

No. You can serve without being controlled. And you can be controlled without serving.

The waitress is serving me but they’re not being controlled. It’s something they choose to do.

And you can be controlled in what you say and so, without serving. E.g. a prisoner.

So no. They’re not the same.

Serving and being controlled are two different things. Make up your mind. Which is is it?

Sure buddy. And 9/11 was an inside job and airplanes are spreading chem-trails to control the population and weather too.

That’s not what that means.

The fact that a company who wants to operate in the US has to follow US guidelines is obvious. But doesn’t mean the US government has significant power over them if they’re not based in the US.

It does matter. Because the US can do it if they decide to. They have significant power over companies based in their country.

They do not have significant power over companies NOT based in their country.

I’m not American. Nor would I pretend to know how “the rest of the world” feels or speak for all of them.

But the data is sent to China for them to analyze and create models of citizen movement, influencing forgein citizens by deciding what content they see.

Yes. A government is ok with tracking their own citizens. But don’t want other governments to track their citizens.

Yes. But the US can control US based companies, and create laws regarding how that data is used. They can’t control a chineese one.

Do you understand how the US government might think it’s a problem that foreign countries get access to every step their citizens take?

You think the problem with tiktok was that it was simply made in China?

Not the fact that it collected vast amount of data from everyone?

And here’s a friendly reminder that Lenovo has had their very fair share of problems regarding security and data collection too.

Hardly news that sitting still infront of a screen for long sessions is not that great for our eyes. And most people have poor posture so the back takes damage as well.

What you do doesn’t really matter. But what the article wants to get to is that it’s especially bad for children that have yet to develop their bodies.

Kind of like how drinking alcohol is bad for everyone. But it’s even worse if you’re under 25

Speaking my language in any other accent than the most ghetto one possibe

Speaking my language in the most ghetto one possible. Sounding like a drug dealer.

That’s just the excuse they came up with to justify the doctor’s handwriting. It’s a conspiracy

It’s like this in almost every language. You don’t have to memorize it. You have to learn it. You will learn it by speaking the language.

I think it’s mostly native English speakers that complain because everything is just “the” and the rule to a and an is very simple.

You can tell me a word in Swedish I’ve never heard before. But i will instinctively know if it’s an “en” or “ett” word. How? I don’t even know. One just feels more right than the other.

Not even remotely. I’m not saying anything of the kind.

Try reading what i wrote slower. Instead of just skipping over every other word.

Because äpplet means “the apple” while äpplen means “apples”.

Because it’s how the language works. Why do we have many, lots, large ammonts of words that all mean the same thing? Me myself and I don’t really care because they are ways to express ourselves in different ways depending on what we want to convey, and how we choose to do so.

This shit again…

Why are you so hung up on “gender”? Just replace it with “group” and you’ll find the exact same situation in almost all languages.

In Swedish words are not gendered. But to specify the singular we use one of two groups. En or ett. It can be a word before what you want to specify. Or a suffix.

En banan, (a banana) Banan-en, (the banana)

Or perhaps.

Ett körsbär, (a cherry) Körsbär-et, (the cherry)

It’s just one if two groups. Has nothing to do with gender. But if you really want to, we can pretend it’s gendered because it doesn’t matter. It’s gonna be one or the other regardless.

Now tell me. How is this different from “gendered” languages? And as a bonus. There is NO rule regarding which to use when. You just have to know.
