you'll learn the language's culture if you do
Its hard to find any smoking gun for you, but machine translation has been a subject of research pretty much since google started actively funding RND, and other institutions are as well. It'll happen before too long
Learning a language is valuable, and it makes you a better thinker, but not everyone can or will do it
call me a traditionalist but this gives me a bad feeling
why
instant translation means any idiot in the world can seamlessly communicate with any other idiot
as if we needed more idiots communicating with other idiots
the barriers in culture will begin to erode and we'll more easily transition into a globally minded species
jokes aside
learn arabic - understand the definition of peace

nice meme lulster
😛
hmm
i like the way things are now
stagnation is no better than death
i sort of want to keep japan, japan. the way it is now. not merged with other countries to contribute to a fully globalized world
which makes me a traditionalist
it makes you a xenophile
if you were japanese it would
which I doubt you are
globalization hurts. a lot.
so youre telling me im not japanese?
only helps the very rich people
we cant know if youre japanese
I doubt it
anyways
yeah because its the internet
you cant know anything for sure
but that makes me a xenophobe
and i stand by my opinion
i wish people stopped the entire -phobia shit
they made up so many of those
as if those were mental disabilities
i have been called homophobe + xenophobe so many times it holds no meaning to me
I doubt someone who's complaining about kids who watch filthy frank making fun of weeaboos would actually be japanese
theres no mental illness related to not liking homosexuals
it would be very annoying if you get nick named as "i jack off to anime tiddies"
im giving food for thought
