Anon notices the "grass is always greener" trope in movies
I my experience I am seeing how the trend goes on the other direction and more and more people around me actively choose to leave the city and go to rural areas. I think that this tends to happens around the mid 30s,!not exclusively, and might be also related to an specific location. I am central Europe based. It's just my personal experience tough.

Perfect navigation
As soon as I saw the map, I thought how countries are not represented on a real size basis in the world map. A quick Internet search brought me to truesizeofcountries , a very cool project for anyone interested.

Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon falls to lowest level since 2017
I had the chance to spend some days inside the amazon jungle and it was very concerning how I could hear non stop tree cutting, almost 24/7. Local indigenous tribes told me they could not confront the workers because they might get shot. Finally good news about the Amazon deforestation!

How Spotify's algorithm is destroying the music industry
I use Spotify to conveniently stream an album to decide whether or not to download it into my ipod. Imo offline devices are, were and will keep being the best option (while on an airplane, on a road trip with no signal) and I get the feeling to own my music and to know the context of the artist I am listening to.

TIL a Canadian from Greece took an American version of an Italian dish and added tropical fruit to it and called it a Hawaiian pizza.
I go to Italy often just to eat real Italian food. I understand that for Italians, the hawainana pizza is an aberration, like many other things if not cooked as they traditionally do. And I respect it, because it's a key part of their culture. Still, I have a right to eat and like whatever I want, so I also expect respect on that sense. Some people will do this and some others won't. I think it's a personal choice to decide respecting others opinions.

Shakira speaking 7 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, French, Italian, Arabic)
Reply in thread
Great comment. She effectively communicates in all those languages, which is impressive. Who cares about her pronunciation mistakes or her accent ! Still, your analysis is interesting to understand the roots of Latin languages and how subconsciously we tend to phonetically use our mother tongue phonetics when communicating using other romanic languages and dialects. It happens to me when speaking specially French or Italian that I cannot avoid but using the tonic syllable of my native language. I always say that, even is not a Latin/greek based language, I love how Swedish pronounce their English: in my experience, kind of trying to communicate efficiently and forgetting, as much as neutrally possible, about the accent. (To be said that later on I learnt that most Scandinavians also have a strong accent when speaking English). I guess that the question is if to be considered a proficient speaker of a specific language, do you need to loose all traits of a foreign accent?

The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.

Same here. I think that the only thing that I can do now to add something of value is to participate in good and respectful discussions while sharing content that I genuinely like. A grain of salt ends up adding to a mountain they say.

Meet Dolly Pawton. We named her that because someone dumped her at the dog park (asshole). She came running up to me.
Dolly Pawton stole my heart ♥️
