I guess I didn’t want to be rude to him, especially as a foreigner.

Because the steak was burned and didn’t taste good. But the guy specifically told me to say that i tastes amazing and to even exaggerate. This is also a thing on TV here in Korea that they have those foreigners tasting food and they without exception always have to say how amazing it is, you never see them saying they don’t like it. Even if you can see it on their reaction, they would always say mhmm so good! :D

Yes the list is only about Actors, even Donald Trump is not in that list. Still an interesting list.

I had a look at the list you linked and was surprised to see the list pointing out Germans and Polish people so I looked a bit dealer.

The German guy was in the left party which is so small that they always have trouble to get over the 5℅ necessary to be in the Bundestag, so he has never been in any leading position. And even the nomination to become president failed. And even if he became a president, in Germany that is not a leading position, a president just represents a country like a King.

In Poland, for Lech Kaczyński (who was the president of Poland) the wikipedia article down not even mention his work as an actor. On IMDB 4 entries are there. He was voice acting for a animated movie as a 13 years old and this is the biggest of the movies he was involved. The next next is a documentary, so he is not acting. The next one is a special episode of a game show to which politicians have been invited as participants. So no acting here either.

The next from Poland Jarosław Kaczyński, the twin brother also only had the voice acting as a 13 years old and documentaries where he didn’t act listed on his IMDB page.

The third and last polish guy in the lis fits the description of a celebrity and politician in power, he was elected into parlament.

For Sweden nobody is listed. Same for South Korea. So from the countries I lived in my feeling that this doesn’t happen is supported by the list you linked.

But other Asian countries, god damn! The lists for India, the Philippines and so on are soooo long! I didn’t expect it. So it’s really different in different countries.

Yeah that is true, but I also did not claim that. Anyway I have a hard time finding any celebrity in office in the countries I lived in (Poland, Germany, Sweden, South Korea), doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen though, just that it looks to happen much less often.

I did not want to put in any judgment on how well celecreties do in office, it was just an observation that this doesn’t really seem to happen in other countries to this extend. But there instead mostly professional politicians or scientists like Angela Merkel run the show.

I see a pattern, it’s the people he watches for years on TV and likes who he puts into leading positions.

To be honest this seems in character for the USA, this is what the american people are often doing too, putting celebrities from movies and TV in charge of their country, case in point Reagan, Schwarzeneger and Trump.

For the access fat it’s the diet, exercise influences it very little.

I blame the standard diet with this huge amount of carbs at the bottom of the food pyramide.

But actually it’s probably the huge proportion of ultra processed food.

Nobody knows. But I think I get it and that’s probably good enough!

Ah I see, he should be against fast food as he is against vaccines. Now I get it, it’s funny.

But you don’t want to enlighten me?

The difference is the intent and the background behind it.

Sure for maximum mass adoption the computer can out-research any human and just find the blandest set of rules which cater to the highest percentage of the majority.

What it still will have a hard time doing, and I predict it will be for quite some time - probably until we have quantum computers - is to come up with a new way of doing poetry which is not just copying what humans did but better.

I think of AI like it’s China, they are super efficient in copeing things and gradually making them better and cheaper but the setup of their society makes it impossible to really innovate.

And yeah I’m saying that it’s the setup, because in Taiwan they are able to innovate at a much higher rate.

Can someone explain the text in the picture? I understand he is against vaccines, but is he also against fast food and coca cola or why is that person so upset?

The older he gets the more true it’ll be. Once he change sthe law to become supreme leader for life it will also get easier, just need to keep him alive longer. In China they harvest organs from young people to keep the CPP top alive as long as possible, so why not in America too? Learn from the winners! /s

Approximately 10 hours or more of sedentary behavior per day is associated with heightened risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death, even in those who regularly exercise.

This means every single office worker.

significant portion of the content in my feeds appears to be AI-generated

On which platforms? For me it seems to be true on the big ones I still kind of use because of some other reasons like Facebook and Instagram, but the niche ones like Lemmy and Mastodon don’t.

One exception of the big ones is YouTube, there seems to still be enough humans creating content so it still out weights the AI generated one.

Yes indeed, and it might still be OK, but the world moving to the right and the right being so against immigration I forse a future where permanent residency is not that easy anymore. Especially if you’re not like me a white fairly well educated male from Europe. People like me seem to have huge privileges in many the parts of the world.

I did plan ahead, the plan was to get my jacket in between when everyone was walking out of the church to gather at the graveyard.

Also if we are nitpicking then everyone can talk to god in the catholic church, including the priest after he listens to all my sins, but god for some reason only responds to the prophets.

Anyway, those nuances are for the scholars, not for a teenage altar boy.

That is a very good point, but it only works of the world is somewhat open to immigrants. I migrated 3 times in my life, starting from practically one suitcase each time. I’m very lucky to have ended up in times and countries which allowed me to stay and to contribute to their society. Sadly that seems less and less a given.
