How did the phrase “no-brainer” come about?

Language is fun and funny - no question. Ever listened to George Carlin?

But good grief, MM, this isn’t about iiactivists - it’s about translation.
And translation is an artform. I’ve placed my bets on human’s rather than machines. The adage “shit in shit out” would fit here, oui? Well, no translator worth his/her polylingual expertise would ever be caught programming a machine to do their work.

hmm I think Sam might be right about languages not always being able to translated 100%

Gee, well hmm, maybe it’s because things don’t exactly translate from language to language? Just throwing that out there.

The Star-Spangled Banner remade and sung is Spanish is an outrage. After listening to an illiegal immigrant activist yesterday say that they are retaking the parts of the US
that belong to them. She said it is their right to be here. It is their land. Their remaking of our national anthem is part of making our nation part of Mexico!!!
