What are things that visitors can do you your nature reserve, regardless of amount or frequency, that don't hurt/damage the reserve? As in, if 1,000,000,000 visitors showed up at your gate tomorrow and asked what they could do in your reserve that wouldn't hurt/damage the reserve, what would you tell them?

Struggling taught me that if I don’t use my money right now it’ll be gone.

And I’m not saying that to contradict you. It’s funny how different people learn different lessons from the same experience. I grew up dirt poor. If I didn’t spend my money as a kid it might be called upon. And that’s the lesson I took for years.

This is something others had to explain to me as I didn't experience this first hand.

If I didn’t spend my money as a kid it might be called upon.

In case others are reading this there's a few extra points to gaining the understanding of this concept. An example of this may be:

You have come into $100 without it being allocated to anything. If you wait "too long" a bill/need will show up that will consume all of that $100 (and probably still leave you needing more). However, if you spend the $100 as soon as you get it, you can buy a nice pair of sneakers or a video game. The bill will still come, and you'll still be in debt at the end, but you'll have your sneakers/video game. So this mindset incentivizes spending immediately instead of saving. An additional angle on this is that you may not have the bill/need but someone in your life does, and if you have $100 and don't volunteer it, or refuse to "lend" it when its discovered, there are large social consequences. So again, spending it immediately is incentivized, because there are no social consequences for not having the money to "lend", only having the money and not "lending" it.

This is far more common that I had understood initially.

Is there a similar "tell" with how people pronounce Darwin?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I'm not sure that's true. We do get bad chemicals when we don't breath though via CO2 build up. Isn't that very similar to the pain response from lack of eating?

Most of us do something like that when we first get money we earned ourselves, myself included. Depending on when you did actually stopped wasting money, this may have had a massively positive impact on your life. If you learned that lesson fairly early, it translated into you making wise spending choices as an older adult. You are successful today because you wasted that money back then and made changes afterward.

Mine would be not slacking in learning Chinese because I never though I would be a weeb.

I thought "weeb" slur was refering to one way into Japanese pop culture, not Chinese.

Now I need to re-learn tons of Kanji

Kanji would be one of the three Japanese writing systems. The written language symbols in Chinese would be Hanzi.

That said, its never too late to learn any language, and any work you did before still helps today as you have a basis for understanding to build on. Depending on how young you learned what you did, you could have some very helpful hard wiring in your brain for other languages than your native one.

wants employees back in the office four days a week to aid the company's turnaround

These two things work against each other.

Labor is too expensive for US manufacturing without significant price increases

This also isn't a problem for just manufacturing. Even USA white collar information workers are competing with information workers in other nations which earn (and cost the employer) a small fraction of the cost of a US worker.

I am asking because without reading the article it seems like the only interested people would be Indians.

You're coming to a community called "World News" and complaining about getting stories of * checks notes * World News?

What exactly do you think World News is? I come to World News to read stories just like this that are happening on the other side of the world from me.

India is the most populous country in the world. It, along with a handful of others will likely rise in dominance in the next 100 years if nothing else because their population isn't declining. Seeing this window on development in India is seeing a prequel to a future superpower. I find it fascinating to see how they choose to go about it.

Imagine having to force yourself to chew and swallow substances because you will die otherwise.

How would it be different than breathing then? I don't get actual pleasure out of breathing, but its not a chore either. If I don't breath, I will die.

Broderbund was an important staple of the Commodore 64 world.

...would also probably appreciate this content.

That was a long and winding walk, but worth it.

 

So wholesome!
