Do you ever miss talking with Australians in English?
Yeah I do. Finns have a great sense of humor (sarcastic sense and often dark), but it is also different to the Australian style and people are less open. And then in English, it doesn't come through in the same way, or I don't understand :)
I thought it was so ignorant and sad. You can speak the language of your adopted country and try to understand its nuances but there is nothing like your mother tongue.
And then there is the very real coming issue that it doesn't matter what you speak because AI will always give us a common language. What happens to language identity then? What happens to the "have to speak local language to work" filter?
The weather is changing everywhere. Climate change is a thing, regardless of whether we caused it or. not. As I see it, we should be looking to reduce pollution so even if we live in a hot environment, at least it isn't hot and shitty.
Sounds both British and part of my family's humour which often doesn't go down very well haha... I adore the Finnish chic down the road whose humour seems very much my thing.
Oh I didn't even think of the AI common language. Nope, nope and nope. I suppose it's a whole different Earth. Like we are about to go galactic where Earthians have one language and off world we will encounter others/aliens with separate languages and the whole dilemma will repeat on a many worlds scale.
