Lol, they don’t even match consistently between Portuguese and Spanish which are much closer, even when the noun is literally the same (e.g.a água vs el água)

Chebyshev distance can also be called chessboard distance if you want something more descriptive.

Can you imagine your entire job being forecasting what other people’s intentions are and making decisions based on it, and being so shit at it that you decide to prop up a guy that’s openly saying he’s going to obliterate the international economic system that makes your job easy?

Despite the crap labour and business practices, the US is an high wage economy. For non perishable goods, companies either manage to compete on quality or they sink because they can’t compete on price.

Can’t wait for the first “AI did it” court case and/or shareholder meeting.

If you put internal consistency above fun then what’s the point?

Taxis? You know, the regulated alternative that’s not in the process of doing a bait and switch by selling services at a loss until competition dies and then increase the prices.

So, they reinvented nano.

The tariffs changing every other day depending on how the orange toddler feels like is a much bigger problem than the value of the tariffs. If the tariffs where 500% for 10 years they could just be included in the price, but when you don’t know what the tariffs are going be on arrival it’s impossible to properly set the price.

Brazilian Portuguese is too “melodic” for abyssal, but some European Portuguese accents can work.

Now we just need to either massively water down EU citizen and consumer protections or get the CPTPP members, including Singapore, to adopt and implement compatible rules.

Yes, until the Trump slashed the foreign aid to Pakistan in 2018. Since then they got much closer to China because they need someone to balance out Russian support for India.

It says that the president of the US has immunity for official acts which fall within their “exclusive sphere of constitutional authority”. This aligns with the executive privileges in other democracies.

In theory yes. In practice like all social conventions they change based on what most people believe they are.

Of course it matters. States and laws work the way the general consensus says they work. One of the reasons Trump can get away with 90% of what he does is because public servants got fed the idea that the president of the US is above the law.

That’s not what the ruling says and repeating that false interpretation only helps Trump.

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

Because I mean fail and trying to frame everything as positive, or at worst, neutral is not healthy and will lead to people not acknowledging their feelings?

I think you are looking into things in a non healthy way.

You are right that success and failure are not binary. Furthermore, every system, be it physical, living, or social, fails sooner or later.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to not fail for as long as possible, for if something brings joy or safety it’s continued success is important. It follows that if something that’s important to someone fails it’s healthy to morn it and to try to learn from it to not repeat the same failure.
