My example wasn’t for India. I went for Arabic as a language in my example that has nothing more than some words in common with English (the “technical” language being spoken in Louisiana Creole) as opposed to being a root language (German or Latin) or language with shared root (French or Italian).
The point being that in India, the government official may speak two of the common languages of the country (one natively and the other regional language functionally) and if the person they are attempting to communicate with is speaking a weird bastardized version of the latter language (sorry Louisianans) which has very little in common with the language you speak fluently then it can be very difficult to decipher.

From my understanding it’s less that and more that when does a dialect become so distinct that it’s it’s own language? In English we have some dialects that are so distinct that if you don’t speak English, you would never be able to tell the root language. Think that really deep English/French/Southern Louisiana creole accent. Now imagine you are a government official who speaks Arabic and a little bit of English and goes to a village with that dialect. Can you communicate?

Exactly. That’s like saying “Chinese food isn’t good for a plant based diet” because of your local Panda Express selection.

How are you defining processed? You can make very authentic pizza with nothing but yeasted/sourdough fermented whole wheat flatbread, sliced tomatoes, ricotta, olive oil and basil. What in there is too processed for you?

It is if you make the crust out of whole wheat flour.

I mean, pizza very much is Mediterranean. It’s wood fire baked flatbread covered in herbs, acidic fruit and preserved dairy.
Next thing you are going to tell me that pita and tzatziki aren’t Med food.

I’m pretty sad they stopped actively maintaining Thunderbird because that is the strongest evidence that Mozilla can do side projects to compete with complacent market leaders with a vengeance.

I really loved it. It’s got a fun cast of characters who get up to some fun/hilarious hijinx and the overarching struggle between creating media that will have a positive social impact vs. something that will be profitable is very relevant.

I probably would not have gotten that either just a few years ago but my husband is 2nd generation Scottish American and grew up watching a lot of BBC programming and we’ve been watching it together in the 6 years we’ve been together so I’ve learned a bit more of the cultural nuances than I would have known otherwise

The thing that made it finally click for me (before the reveal) is that no man posh enough to have an Italian villa and a yacht is going to have a chavvy nephew without some serious explanation occurring as to how his brother/sister ended up marrying far, far below their station.

It’s not just that. The footage you got in the 2000s was from the major media corporations filtered through major news outlets. So much of what we see now are from local amateur journalists, civilians and local businesses. We no longer see just the high-value 5 second shot of an explosion from the street chosen for it’s excitement value to keep viewers watching that channel. We now see intimate security footage inside a normal looking cafe that is relatable and goes viral for that reason.
Oh and there’s a ton more high-def cameras so the amount of footage is radically higher.
And surely dress and race and architecture all play a part in that distance but don’t downplay how different this footage is despite being of a “bombing”

At this point, I think the assumption in “plants communicate too” circles is that the channel of communication is mycorrhizal networks.

I’d look in to edibles and start at a quarter dose (2.5 mg). Don’t try to settle on a dose in a day. If they 2.5 doesn’t do enough, try 5 the next go around and so forth and so on.
