Not enough deciduous trees for that!

Cool, thanks :-)

Do you know if Retroarch has controller support?

I appreciate your writeup, but I’m curious as to what interesting things Godzilla 2014 tried, because I just watched that and came away thinking it had nothibg redeeming in the story or script (though the producions values were great)

It is a lisp, albeit on purpose … to further confuse things in parts of Spain with different languages the shared words don’t necessarily have that lisp!

Best thing would be to go to a Spanish speaking country for a holiday, once you’ve been forced to use it on strangers you’ll loose your language anxiety and it gets much easier (I live in Spain and work in Spanish, I’m not very good, but also no longer worried about muddling through).

When was that? Last time I tried it was a couple of years ago.

As for the difference, outside of Spain the conjugation of Vosotros (you, plural) isn’t used, but speaking to strangers is much more formal. Also, there’s a lot of vocabulary differences which can be confusing for non-native speakers.

Good luck with your learning, it’s a great language :-)

Last time I looked it still did a weird mix of American and European Spanish, too

Erm, I guess this is one of those cases where words don’t translate well between variants of English … I hardly ever see “station wagons” (estate cars?) here, whereas there’s lots of cool lifted hatchbacks around like the Fiat Panda 4x4

If individuals changed, corporations would be forced to change (or would die) since they would no longer be profitable. It needs to be both at the same time.

That doesn’t negate the positive moral implication of making a pleasant comfortable life while consuming less.

Business as usual for individuals means business as usual for corporations.

Ah, I get you … yes that’s a fair point. In Europe we don’t have so many SUVs

It’s saying most of those who don’t care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don’t care about animals.

Both are needed, corporations must be held account able and individuals need to make changes to how they live … I don’t believe either will actually happen, but that doesn’t mean that the morality of choices over resource use suddenly get inverted just because of a bad case of nihilism.

Which is funny, it had the opposite effect on me.

What is this a computer for ants? It should be at least … four times bigger.

I never said you should emulate my life, what I said is that taking up less space would be good for the planet … you get limited time on this rock, it’s going to be a lot more limited for your kids if the food chain collapses.

When most of the world can live in comfort with less space, then it would be good if everyone would. It would save energy, resources, and leave more room for nature.

Many humans are greedy and want more of everything, including space. Do you think that people who live in mansions do so against their will? Do you think that owning a mansion is good for the planet?

My definition of plenty can be flexible, and thinking about it we could be happy with less space. I lived in a caravan with an ex-boyfriend for a while which was about 20m^2, and space was not the main factor in wanting to move out.

Thank you for your beautifully worded reply.

Very well put!

Because the world is on fire, while the richest humans want to consume more. Your replies are typical of that mindset, you could hardly contain your consumerism while living in an area which in much of the world would be considered large and luxurious.
