Lol thanks for linking that, just had a blast laughing

Unfortunately

The Catwoman starring Halle Berry. Not only I found the movie sort of lame, also the quality of it was… Well. Someone went to the cinema and filmed the projection with a hand held camera. The image quality was trash, but the camera moved all the time, occasionally shaking. You got to hear the occasional cough or candy wrap noise from the audience, you got to see people standing up and moving across the camera because they needed a toilet break. You get the idea.

Fair conclusion, but don’t be so hard on yourself. Honestly as a native speaker these things don’t come across as “rules” for me even though of course they have rules. It’s just the natural and obvious way of using the language. And that’s something very hard to get right if you weren’t raised with that language. In other words, I’ve heard a gazillion people say so many examples of phrases in Spanish since before I have memory, that hearing or seeing something outside of the expected pattern stands out immediately, but I can’t always explain why.

It’s unreasonable to expect ever having the same level of fluency with a language you weren’t raised with. I’ve been speaking English half my life and I still screw up sometimes.

Uso “ustedes”, pero por supuesto que sé conjugar vosotros. Tal vez cometo algún error ya que no tengo costumbre de usarlo, pero sí, te lo enseñan en la escuela junto con todos los demás pronombres personales.

Not the person you asked, but a native Spanish speaker myself. The formal way to say “excuse me” (for example to a teacher or boss, or to a stranger on the street if you wish to be polite) would be “disculpe señor/a”, or “discúlpeme señor/a”. You can also remove señor/a and simply say “disculpe” or “discúlpeme” to anyone and it will still carry the same meaning, since the verb in both cases already implies it’s about yourself.

The informal way would be “disculpame” or “discúlpame”, although in this case adding señor/a sounds way off. You can definitely add a name though, ie, “discúlpame Shads” and that would be okay.

Edit: as for your specific request of an adult teacher asking something to the students, that would depend a lot on the relationship they have, some teachers are distant while others get more familiar with time. I’ve seen both. By all means the formal one would always be correct. I’ve seen teachers with a usually more relaxed or casual approach revert to the formal when they are getting serious or upset.

Love that. I always found it mildly annoying when people have all these sets but never use them. Why. Why not. What’s the point of having them in a drawer

They don’t have a fragrance for me. Breaking a branch or leaf produces a smell similar to that of broken tomato leaves/branches.

Sounds like you don’t really need to drive that far or that frequently; lucky you.

On a similar note, unlike millions of other people out there I haven’t been affected by ebola, hurricanes, or ballistic missiles. Can you imagine living and having to endure such a thing? Yet people don’t relocate to better places. How puzzling. I wonder why.

All are horrible and a problem but what do we get out of these three? Doesn’t take a genius to see something of value in two of them.

Anything that requires physical work. Manufacturing, trades, etc… But, there’s the caveat that AI may still indirectly affect these too.

Love it lol

You are asking whether it is possible to persuade people to do something without persuasion. You can’t, unless you just happen to be wanting them to do something they actually need to do.

That’s just for the packaging and branding

“not good for you” is relative. Heavily dependent on individual case by case and against what standards. Sure, there are many better alternatives. But I’d argue there are even many more worse ones.

This depends on your view of weight. For some people, weight means “we are talking about excess body fat”. For others, weight means “we are talking muscle mass”. In reality, it’s both.

So it could very well be that someone eating more protein and water is building muscle mass faster than they are losing fat. Fat can take a while to burn down in a healthy manner. Also having more fat means you will also retain more water, of which you are drinking more now to begin with.

Of course you will weigh more. But if you keep at it you will eventually weigh less, presuming you didn’t gain muscle like a hulk.

I thought AI would eventually make every profession based on thinking and creativity redundant or obsolete, so if you ask me we’ll die of depression caused by AI. But maybe you are right and we die of dehydration first.

Not only slop, the concept is still not well illustrated either.

But what truly is a proper ice cream cone?

You reckon maybe it’s optional? Or maybe sailors assert dominance that way. Like I said, it’s a mystery to me
