If you ask me, you can stick those new Google translation glasses up your arse

Limits might be quite good, actually

Things this post talks about:

• Modernism's project to make everything possible is bollocks

• Existential threat porn has inured me to anxiety about almost every exogenous crisis

• Another reason for probably why corporations take part in The Great Awokening

• Why every article here is going paid-only for 100% access

People are excited about a new device designed to aid in collapsing the differences between us humans around various parts of Earth.

Tech, innit. Great. Clever. Makes things easier.

Removes another limiting factor. Because, fuck knows, modern life is just so haaaard.

Anyway, great. Soon you'll be able to chat in real time with the staff of Starbucks in Ulaanbaatar (yes, there is one there. I tried to pick a place where there wouldn't be a Starbucks … yet … and instantly failed) and it will be like being home from fucking home. Marvellous, when you think about it.

When Möngkhsaikjan asks you in mɔ̙̃ɴɢɞ̜̆ɮ çe̝ɮ if you want anything else with your chai latte, the upsell will magically appear before your very eyes in your preferred language and everyone will be liberated from difference.
