The catarrhine who invented a perpetual motion machine, by dreaming at night and devouring its own dreams through the day.
I’d gladly post Batatinha’s pics if he was my dog, but my cousin would probably get annoyed, it’s a privacy matter.
But, basically: picture a huge dog. By “huge” I mean, he probably weights 40kg or so. Mostly black, with some tan; it doesn’t follow the same pattern as the Rottweiler or the German shepherd, it’s different. Short hair, floppy ears. Rather intimidating, I wouldn’t go anywhere close to that dog without my uncle or my cousin nearby.
I spend most of my day reading, as a translator. But it’s almost always stuff that I wouldn’t read, if not being paid to.
If counting only books that I read for fun, I guess it’s ~2 books/month? Typically fantasy light novels. I also read a fair bit of manga (~5 chapters/day).
Beyond those LNs I think that the last book I’ve read was in September; Um Copo de Cólera (lit. “a glass of rage”), from Raduan Nassar. Short but good first person story.
I’m almost 40. I’m… tired. I don’t read stuff to feel myself cultured; I read stuff when I need to (because of my job) or when I feel in the mood to do so.
My relatives do it all the time. On purpose. Cue to
Guess who’s the toy poodle and who’s the shepweiler.
Federation woes?
Your comment has a different take though, and adding value to the discussion, it isn’t just the same as I said. Both are complementary.
Mid-December I’m travelling to Foz, to eat my quota of chipa and pira caldo see the Iguazú Falls again. With my family this time. It has been, like, 15 years since I’ve been there, and unlike last time I’m not going with a drunk womanchild rushing to Argentina because she was missing her grandparents. I’m not smuggling whisky again either.
I think that it depends on why, how, and how much. If she’s feeling neglected and/or isolated I wouldn’t say that it’s a red flag, but if she wants your exclusive attention, to the expense of your son, it might be.
Even more accurately: it’s bullshit.
“Lie” implies that the person knows the truth and is deliberately saying something that conflicts with it. However the sort of people who spread misinfo doesn’t really care about what’s true or false, they only care about what further reinforces their claims or not.
Reddit might have originated as a link aggregator but for all intents and purposes it’s a clusterfuck of forums anyway.
That said the difference between Reddit and old style forums in this case is that the permaban is never enforced; that place is so corrupt that you’re expected to circumvent the rules and the punishment. A hypothetical 5y ban would be the same.
Even if the banana is overripe (0.4% alcohol) it has ~1/10 the alcohol content of the same weight in your typical beer (4~5%).
So… technically yes, but in practice no.
How much time until this bot gets banned by “harassment”?
Let me do some maths for a typical situation:
The final alcohol content of the dish should be (125ml/2l)*(12%)*(0.25) ≃ 0.2%. For reference an over-ripen banana has twice as much alcohol as that.
Is that such a big deal for your friend? (Don’t assume, ask her.) If it is not, just use wine.
That said if it’s a big deal for her, I wouldn’t recommend non-alcoholic wine. It’s typically awful. Instead use good quality vinegar, as others suggested.
Predictable outcome for anyone not wallowing in wishful belief.
shrug them off
That seems like a good compromise. I’d be probably doing the same if anyone from my family complained about it.
I hate when people use my shoulder as support, as I’m showing them something. Simply… don’t, okay?
At least when in family I drink straight from the bowl. With the spoon (sometimes chopsticks) being only for the solid bits.
A 5y ban is a permaban under another name. By then the user already disengaged the community, or circumvented the ban.
Brazil is a Bad Idea®.
