so i got offered a restoration ecologist position, now to crunch the numbers and see if i can actually afford to food and shelter if i take the positionsudo rm -rf posted:what's this now http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-fo-dr-macro-lager-beer-20180203-htmlstory.html i'm ambivalent on the trend, especially since la is a large enough market that you're going to find niche beers for whatever you preference maybe

Chinese has gendered pronouns ー but they're only distinguishable in text. All three (male, female, neuter) sound exactly the same when spoken Also it has no conjugation and no grammatical gender otherwise

All three (male, female, neuter) sound exactly the same when spoken bit unfair to say chinese when you’re talkin mandarin isn’t it canto he she and it is the same pronunciation and same character (佢) and you just add a particle to make it they (佢哋) so in that regard canto has a leg up

It would be better to ask someone else who’s studied in a more academic setting (I think you’ve studied it more formally than I have anyway) but there are times when there’s more of, like, a distinction between the written form of and the various spoken forms than there is with English, right? I would hypothesize that this is because characters are less mutable than words formed from letters (so different Chinese languages might still share the written form) but I’m not a linguist so I’m not sure what the canonical answer is.

The comparison with English is difficult because British vs. American English (or Canadian, SA, Aus, etc) are mutually intelligible while the different Chinese languages that largely share a written form are not. I know nothing about Arabic so I can’t speak to that comparison.

all my life i've looked at vanya and i've thought, you are so tiny. how can something so tiny have a soul. but there is undeniably a soul in vanya. and then i look at the quails, which also have clear and present undeniable souls even though they're very simple, and they're so much tinier even than vanya and it blows my mind. how tiny can a soul get? what is the minimum dimension of a soul? could a microscopic organism have a soul?

tell them that they're in a professional environment and you expect them to maintain proper grooming and hygiene standards. if they're client facing make sure to really tear into them, the dirty gently caress
