  It will depend on the people and how you approach them, some will be happy to learn your interest, some will expect that it goes both ways and some will not want to be bothered. That’s just normal human things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bit harsh?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I was giving another idea in case there is not expected use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bit harsh?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sense of wonder from discovering how different people from different places think similarly or differently of the same experiences, or different experiences you never thought about.
  Otherwise, maybe trying to interact with the immigrants probably covering the essential jobs in his small town that nobody else wants to do.

  Trust the power of repetition, check the Anki app if you haven’t.

  You’re are over interpreting a lot. I was simply expecting some American to come on and say America is two continents because that’s what you are taught, just as Latin culture people are taught it’s one continent. I’m not saying one is better than the other. By the way, it’s not a Europe thing, UK people are told the same as North Americans, it’s probably its origin. You could try asking for explanations before jumping to the agressive interpretation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon joins a shitposting group⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here it is. As I hinted above, conventional continent boundaries are cultural, not scientific. Have a look: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Number

  You’re going to confuse Americans who are taught America is two different continents: North and South (difference with the Latin culture).

  When holes are closed enough that water cannot go through, I think it is valid interpretation of having an inside.

  The notable difference with jam would be that avocado is already oily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way my partner eats avocado.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are all the spoons dirty or something?
  Also, are they eating avocado with butter?

  I checked it up and couldn’t find any reference, it seems op is completely fabricated and not straight. The only interesting method that was temporarily effective was the introduction of specialized viruses, until they became more resistant. www.nma.gov.au/…/rabbits-introduced

  Is the first part ironic and the second not ironic? It’s not clear.

  The only thing NDAs can really cover are true trade secrets that could cause actual damages to the company.

  Isn’t it very easy for companies to argue any confidential information/agreement would damage them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Into the rabbit hole we go!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A scientific model is valid within its limits of applicability. We will likely never be able to establish natural science models that escape this, even in physics.

  This seems to be easily said of anyone trying to popularize science philosophy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black men dating Asian women: where is the real conversation about racism, family pressure, and emotional risk?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anecdotal personal evidence, I didn’t research the literature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black men dating Asian women: where is the real conversation about racism, family pressure, and emotional risk?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  when I search Reddit or read comments online, I often see people joking or implying that Asian women prefer white men over Black men, or that Black men should not even bother. Sometimes it feels like there is a quiet racial hierarchy being reinforced, where whiteness is treated as the safest or most accepted option, and Black men are treated as undesirable, threatening, or socially costly.

  Yes, there is still a racial hierarchy being socially reinforce, it is getting weaker, but slowly. The average society moves slowly, seeing black people getting better represented everywhere every year does not mean the previous centuries of racism are over. Intimate relationships will probably be one of the last things to equalize because it is the furthest away from rationality. So we sadly still need strong minded and/or strongly in love “pioneers” defying social conventions and take the emotional risks to help make this aspect of racism wash away.

  It’s not training though, you get thrown into the real thing immediately that decides the rest of your social time at school.

  Aren’t you exaggerating a little? Kids get to know each other better with time too.

  Agreed with doing it with guidance and feedback.

  What do you think is different compared to when you join some new company, training or club and you are asked to present yourself?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon introduces himself⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t you think it’s good to train children to be able to talk to strangers and introduce themselves? I know it’s stressful but I think it is useful.
