@some@hachyderm.io Thank you! It's actually a metaphor that came to me when I first learned about System 1 vs. System 2 thinking. A foreign language seems to throttle the GPU, which forces more work onto the CPU, and it turns out a lot of that “GPU work” is the emotional system quietly pre-computing your judgments for you.
Avrebbe compiuto 65 anni oggi. E per chi era in Liguria in quegli anni è l'equivalente di Totti per i romanisti. NdR. Il lavoro che il #Genoa sta facendo sulle magliette, anche rimettendo in giro quelle vintage in capsule ad edizione limitata, è eccellente. Merito, credo, anche della partnership con @RollingStoneIta. Gianluca Signorini, capitano giovane e bello https://ultimouomo.com/gianluca-signorini-capitano-genoa-scoglio-collovati-liverpool
@julian@fietkau.social Yes, that's actually cited in the paper as supporting evidence: swearwords in a foreign language produce weaker physiological responses than in a native one, so it very likely is the same mechanism running in reverse. I personally avoid swearing in foreign languages because I can never be fully sure of the nuance, but I do notice people around me swear more freely in their second languages, which fits the pattern exactly.
