If you mean attractive in a physical sense, I wouldn’t know. If you mean as a personality/presence/vibe, I think smiling genuinely make people drawn to you and give you attention. I am a smiley person a d genuinely give all my attention to the other person in a conversation, and that makes me a „popular“ person that makes people seek my presence. But I also had a lot of people saying that seeing me from the outside, just passing by them, I look arrogant and they could not imagine I was instead a nice person. But I don’t usually walk on the street and smile and look at the others all the time. I am with my thoughts, so maybe too serious. So I think smiling is a great skill for attraction. And being confident and having genuine conversations.

Yeah, in my country too, we had parties at each other houses, drinks, dancing, chatting, some food. Parents of the organiser would come from time to time to check that all is ok. We would buy our own food, make some sandwiches, buy some drinks, parents would give us some beers or wine( we could have a drink or two even before being 18). It was lots of fun. Even at our Highschool, the school would organise a disco party on Saturdays, no alcohol, but lots of dancing. We did not of course really need cars, Europe is pretty walkable.

Surely better than chemicals for humans, but not better for soil life and nutrient dense food.

The statistics probably come from the farms where they keep the animals in one place and they bring their food there. Cattle can be successfully used in land regeneration with the rotational grazing systems. I do agree many eat too much meat, but not anyone does well on a vegan diet. I don’t. I rather eat it moderately and buying quality meat from happy animals.

Meat is a highly dense food source and has lots of essentials elements to human health. And in case of the cows, if they are fed as they should with grass, they transform a not digestible food for humans into a highly digestible one.

People that raise them for their own consumption will not overeat meat probably, because they know how much it takes to raise them well and they have a different kind of respect for the animal than someone buying pieces of meat in a supermarket.

I am very skeptical about statistics like these, because they are not nuanced, as the reality is. It’s like when they said eggs raise cholesterol. What they did not say is that they tested it by giving rabbits(a herbivore) egg yolks. And people then start spreading the misinformation.

I have a neighbourhood small shop at 5 min from me. But I usually go to bigger ones 30 min or a bit more so I can get some exercise and enjoy nature and fresh air.

I’m learning French, when I remember to. I did not put too much effort into it until now, because I understand a lot from articles, conversations, youtube videos. It is similar to Spanish, which I learnt up to native level I guess, also mostly speaking without a foreign accent. But back to French, I find it very hard to write it, so many accents and ‘s and letters that are not read. I have what they call a “musical ear”, so I do distinguish a lot of sound variations and tones, but the writing in French is brutal.

Another language I will forever learn and not be able to get to it as with my Spanish or English is German. I mess up the articles all the time, I am sure, but I just keep going. I am perfectly comfortable reading German literature or having a conversation, but it bothers me that after so much time being exposed to it, I still make poor choices of articles.

I started at some point learning Portuguese, but I found it frustrating that it was so similar to Spanish, all the words would come in Spanish in my mind.

If I could, I would love to also know Greek, Danish, Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic and many others probably.

He can come in. I eat garlic regularly 😆

Especially there. I’ve seen older versions of the movie and read the book, and she was just not believable. For me at least. That is what I expect from an actor, to be believable and let me immerse myself in the story. It does not happen with her.

Keira Knightly, in my opinion she seems fake. I don’t understand how is she praised for her roles.
