Empathy is not being obsessive with the feelings of others. Others are as real people as you are. If you go that way, thinking of what others feel instead of empathizing with what they're experiencing, this immediately becomes an abstr

Thank you for your comment. I came here to say roughly the same thing. Yes, in a way we are always using others as means to an end. But to make this interpretation true, I have to really push the boundaries of what I mean by using others, b

Funny, but I do exactly the same. My source, however, is Telegram's channel @hacker_news_feed. As you said, the signal-to-noise ratio hits that sweet spot that keeps me out of HN's front page for a long time.

The comment you responded to is simply informing that you cannot compare Norway's with USA's EV experience because that's like comparing apples to oranges. Or, if you will, that the Norwegian lessons aren't that useful t

That's my go-to audiobook player also. I have been using it for years and it never ceases to amaze me. The level of control you reach with it almost makes the audio part more paper like.

All looks well and dandy until you need to integrate Zotero into the flow of your work. Unfortunately, OnlyOffice doesn't offer a Zotero integration tool. That's a huge deal breaker for any academic.

I love this idea. What I hate about captchas is not the challenge, but the purpose. However, part of me liked the having to find out what was written on the image. So I would gladly do that on my spare time for a communal project like this.
