The number 10’000 is calculated off of the birth rate of the USA.
Globally it should be one of the lucky 360’000.

They are like little brittle twigs. They will break into many pieces and will grow anew next season. But you can just pull them out again then. At least they won’t spread further.

Fun fact: American sign language differs from British sign language, as it is derived from french sign language. So a french and American signer would understand each other, while a Brit would not.
- Comment on ESL homework 1 week ago:
I think anyone in India and Africa speaks 4 languages easily.
- their regional language (i.e. Masaai, Yoruba, Xhosa)
- the over-regional language (Arabic, Swahili)
- a coloniser language (English, French)
- and possibly just enough of a neighbouring regional language
I think many Chinese people are also bilingual (i.e. Wu+ always mandarin). They often learn another language in school (English or something geographically closer, like Korean).
- Comment on ESL homework 1 week ago:
Sometimes, I think it’s funny that in Anglo countries it’s referred to as ESL, English as a second language.
For us (and I guess many others) it was always English as a foreign language. Could be first foreign language, second foreign language…

I did a quick look, but tbh I would need to know more about ancient judaic wedding practices.
Here goes: in Gospel by Luke, when Mary gets the announcement, they are betrothed (fiancée).
In Gospel by Matthew, Joseph hears of this and wants to cancel the betrothement, but gets an explanation by an angel and “takes her in” but doesn’t sleep with her until after Jesus is born.
In Gospel by Luke, when they arrive in Bethlehem, they’re called betrothed. So I don’t know how official and extensive the “taking in” is to be seen.Anyways, look what I found in the Song of Mary:
He performs mighty deeds with his arm; he scatters those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He brings down rulers from their thrones but lifts up the humble.
He fills the hungry with good things but sends the rich away empty. - Comment on it's true 3 weeks ago:
It specifies the cultural application but broadens the temporal.
(To be more direct: not every first nation practiced that technique.)

Having seen neither, I gotta say Neon Genesis Evangelion looks more appealing to me than Star Wars. I might even watch it someday.

I can get it for some environments. For example in central Asia, coming from a nomadic lifestyle and living in yurts (big tents) it’s totally understandable to keep your shoes on. Maybe the building style is a continuation of the yurt and lends to similar choices.
I was once in Paraguay and their buildings typically don’t have a hallway, every room is accessible from the outside. Most of their life is also spent outside, like cooking and eating. It’s nice weather for most of the year, why not.
But for European style weather and houses, I will always take my shoes off.

Nah. I paid 200€ a semester student contribution for a train ticket and the student parliament and stuff and 0€ tuition. But I ended up taking the 30min car ride instead of 2h bus+train and the car park was free (it was just a gravel plot but who cares).
