I am always teetering on the edge of doing this, not because I think it’s a good idea, but just because I really, truly love fruit…

It’s precisely bc it’s such a huge topic that i’m reaching out for help lol! Region doesn’t matter but my immediate interest is closer to the aesthetic than the academic side of the spectrum atm, so I’m looking for visual highlights more than other kinds of salience/importance. I just need a rundown of what’s iconic (or looks like it ought to be)

Yes, I don’t think I have another app but more features on some apps I use (Smartdock, Joplin, Librera, Rimusic) would be slightly life-changing.

I really, really like this.

Wasn’t GiveDirectly one of EA’s big things and precisely what you’re describing here? Unconditional cash transfers

he knows nothing and genuinely thinks he’s doing a good job.

seems like the first step to improving is being given information on how you’re doing, and the second is being mentored/trained?

Can I ask how you ended up there in the first place? I can scarcely think of a more interesting place on earth.

How integrated are you into the local community? How well do you speak the local language? I’m a foreigner living abroad and I would never trust either my own perception of this place nor 99% of other foreigners’ perceptions.

Surprised by how hiɡh up Mexico is!

Why were there trackers initially?

I disagree. I’ve only ever had luck with the white ones.

I’ve done this and still only gotten lucky like 1/20th of the time. Very hard to tell when they’re ripe and flavourful

Good for others but doesn’t work for me as it’s not on mobile sadly. There are several mobile translation extensions but they all rely on Google/Microsoft/DeepL & I don’t know how to assess the privacy consequnces of that.

Hey, the link expired, can you make another?

Can you please share more about what the appeal of Baudelaire is for you?

In the article they talk about extremely subtle pronounciation changes. It doesn’t seem like it was a conscious decision.

I used to have a job where I was the only non-Indian on my team and I didn’t go as far as to develop an accent (also I went home every day lol unlike these guys) but I felt like I was unintentionally picking up some Indian affectations/word orders.

This hits on a lot of things I’ve been thinking about lately, thank you for posting it. I would love more stories about successful species and the way they see the world.

Thanks for posting this! I have so many naive questions about it! Unfortunately I can’t get a hold of the full text yet. Suuuper interesting.
