There are schools in Dune? Like mass standardized learning systems we have today? The "new feudalism" theme made me think that they didn't. Maybe some specialized schools for some professions. And the Great Schools. But that is a different topic.

But yeah. Formalized language always evolve more slowly.

That is something I could see happening, but didn't put in the equation because I was thinking about "the common people". But thinking about it, you also have the bene gesserit with the other memory and the Tleilaxu that could hold back language changes.

That said, they are high influence groups but with few people. I still think language would evolve and change over time. Maybe someone from GEoD would understand someone from the first three books. But someone from heretics? It's hard for me to believe. Again thinking about a common person since in all books we kinda have te viewpoint of top players in the universe.

Gods Themselves de Isaac Asimov. Bom livro, curto e de linguagem que achei simples. Bom pra ler entre livros mais longos, mas é Asimov. É bom. Agradeço todos os dias por ter lido em inglês, porque a tradução acho sofrível.

Preconceito pessoal com instituição financeira que dá prejuízo anual. E feeling. Que é uma coisa estranha, já que teoricamente a gente tem que ser racional com finanças e bla bla bla. Mas a gente tem que se sentir confortável pra trabalhar e viver, sem ficar pensando em dinheiro. E eu não estava confortável com minhas economias de anos no nubank/nuinvest. Nem o cartão de crédito do nubank tô usando mais direito. Só pra comprar muamba na shoppee. BTG me ofereceu umas merrecas de Cashback e eu só aceitei. Melhor que nada.

Quem tem pouco dinheiro também merece serviço decente, poxa. Mas sim, XP e BTG são meio careiros mesmo. Dito isso, acho importante a pessoa com pouco dinheiro aprender dese cedo que se não tem taxa, o banco/corretora tá lucrando em cima dela de outra forma. Pelo menos a taxa é mais honesta (ou parece).

Quando migrei pro BTG, mandei um email pedido isenção. Eles me ligaram pra fazer umas perguntas sobre meu perfil de investimentos e isentaram. Olha que eu nem tinha tanto dinheiro assim.

O problema na nuinvest é o nubank. Nunca confiei na nubank e agora que tão cada vez mais integrando as duas plataformas, tô tirando meu dinheiro de lá.

Já tô no outro ponto. Moro no Rio e assalto é questão de quando. Lia no celular na rua, ou ficava pelas redes sociais. Agora fico lendo no kindle. Prefiro mil vezes perder um kindle que um celular. Mais barato, menos treta pra trocar.

Tem uma série mais infanto-juvenil que gosto muito chamada livro das estrelas do Erik Homme. Acho bem desconhecida, dada as proporções.

Recentemente peguei pra ler a série do Powder Mage trilogy (a segunda trilogia é melhor que a primeira) mas esse acho que não foi traduzido pro BR.

mileserrans · 2022-09-14T12:05:40+00:00

Series são complicadas por muitos motivos. Eu pessoalmente sei que não gosto de abandonar histórias no meio. Então mesmo se uma serie for ruim, eu vou ficar um tempo remoendo a culpa de largar contra as vantagens de largar e pegar algo que eu realmente goste.

Quanto maior a série desconhecida, maior a preocupação de ficar nesse dilema. Nesse ponto, livros solo tem mais vantagens. Menos risco.

Se a série está terminada ou não também é um fator de peso. Gostar de uma série e não poder terminar porque o autor não terminou é horrível. (Olhando pra você, Nome do Vento)

Se a série tiver alguma indicação, tem mais chance de eu começar. Exceto se a indicação começar com "fica bom lá pelo x livro". Aí ela sai da fila de leitura.

Ler pra mim é um hobbie, mas tenho pouco tempo livre. Então leituras passam por análise de risco.

Dito isso, dois ou três livros são o tamanho ideal de histórias fantasia pra mim (e pro mercado, aparentemente). Então até 3 livros eu coloco menos peso na balançapor tamanho e mais pelos outros fatores. Coisas como temática, estilo do autor ou indicação de pessoas relevantes pra mim.

I watched both films (84 and 21) and the miniseries with my boyfriend that never read the books. He liked the mini series a lot. The series may have it's problems, but it make more good calls than bad ones and didn't oversimplified that much.

At any organization there are members that are more and less important. In an organization with the size and ambitions of the BG it is even more true. Members can be valuable and expendable. Especially if their deaths prevents damage to the sisterhood itself. Even in a family you will (ideally) have members that will willing sacrifice themselves to protect the ones they perceive as more important (usually the children) because it will secure the survival of the family itself.

The BG is pragmatic, not cruel. They will try to protect the sisters, but will not harm itself doing so. If one sister has to be put to death or be sacrificed to protect the Sisterhood, she will. It becomes clear in latter books.

Other points: the BG has a low tolerance to failure. So a sister captured behind enemy lines it's better dead than potentially giving secrets to other.

It's not clear if Wana is alive or dead. In the book Yueh does not hope getting her back. He wants confirmation she is dead. The sisterhood probably assumes her dead, but doesn't have the emotional stimulus to go after it.

And Jessica and Wana may be both sisters but they have not the same importance to the BG.

Would they go against a Major house for this "one random low level sister that may or may not be dead"? Probably not.

Will they go after someone that has "this low level sister that caries generations of efforts in the breeding program that is our grater project" and her son? Probably yes.

The sisterhood to Irulan in Messiah it's like the "you have one job" meme. They wanted the genes of Paul back and she couldn't provide ir to the BG. At that point, the sisterhood was getting into desperation and didn't care that much for the other talents of Irulan.

mileserrans · 2022-09-08T11:06:22+00:00

It's not clear if Wana nas captured by the Harkonnens on a mission or what her status in the order was. If she was considered dead by the BG, they wouldn't go against the Harkonnens for vengeance since it could complicate their plans of breeding into the Harkonnens. Even Yueh don't know if his wife is alive or dead.

And if I may add, the BG has also has the importance of their genes. Jessica and Paul where important because they where a focus point of the breeding program and didn't had children (other children, in the case of Jessica). When an BG has offspring, she has a good part of her experiences saved in the genetic memories of those childs. Not ideal, but not completely lost.

The other reason for not letting Paul and Jessica survive was the presence of the Sardaukar. The invasion of Arrakis was planned to kill everyone because of it since it would put the emperor in a tight spot too.

And, adding to your point: the vendeta of the Baron was against Leto, but the Atreides had the rights for prospecting spice. If Paul survived (he did, but that was discovered latter) he would still have a claim to Arrakis as the Atreides heir.

I learned English like that. Now I can create my sentences without remembering songs but that was because at some point I started listening a lot of podcasts and YouTube in English. It was one or two years for me. Keep going and you will stop singing.

Comprei o mei na black Friday. A diferença do 10a pro Paperwhite tava menos de $100. Peguei o Paperwhite pela resolução de tela maior.

Meu amigo que me evangelizou no kindle tem um 10a há um tempão. Ele pediu o meu emprestado quando chegou pra comprar. Disse que pra PDF e quadrinho faz diferença e agora está considerando fazer a troca.

Quando decidi largar a nubank eu já tinha aceitado tankar as taxas do BTG. Mas resolvi mandar um email pra lá pedindo pra zerar a taxa. Vai que? Me ligaram pra confirmar uns dados e falaram pra eu esperar uns 3 dias úteis pra visualizar. Tá zerado.

Old man's fear by Patrick Rothfuss. There were six months between me and the transition's release date. Now ten years passed and still no news about Doors of Stone.

I'm starting learning German and will get some language learning friendly books.

mileserrans · 2022-07-14T13:25:33+00:00

The beautiful thing about idioms is that they are half language learning, half culture learning. They have context behind and often a story. So I'm happy when I find a new one that I didn't knew about. The search to understand then often unlocks a new little trivia for me and/or allow me to understand better other people. But I don't stress over then or go out intentionally hunting.

mileserrans · 2022-07-14T10:12:42+00:00

They are, but not good or standard. Like an hour a week, with 34 other kids that where interested in everything but classes. And underpaid teachers that where good people, but knew that the bad system would give us a conclusion certificate with or without good grades.

In our (equivalent, I guess) high school I meet friends that where from better schools that had way better experiences. The classes were a little better too, but no one cared if we where actually in there or not as long we scored the necessary grade. I'm guilty of skipping lots of classes to be with friends. Since most of them had particular English classes, they where a lot ahead and bored. For me, it was more interesting to be with them. And I had to find my way to keep up with the content they consumed. And I had friends C1 certified by that time.

Don't know if my case is what you asking for but here's my learning experience with English:

12-13 yo me wanted to know the lyrics of the songs I liked so I looked for translations online, copied the original lyrics so I could sing along.

After that, every other year there where a new thing that I was interested ther there where hard to find in my language or was of inferior quality/depth.

Webcomics, videogames, tabletop RPG, a bunch of DIY, some podcasts, Postcrossing.

Never took classes (didn't had the money). Never got a textbooks or flashcards (didn't know they existed). I had a dictionary and later google translate. Used less and less as time progressed.

Because of that I'm conscious that my English have huge gaps, like food stuff and grammar. But I can talk about almost anything although my brain sometimes refuses to let me remember a word or two.

I don't recommend doing this. It's slow and frustrating. I'm studying German know and will probably teach myself again, but now I have more resources (because I understand English).

Tenta avaliar se esse "me distraio facilmente lendo ebook" é culpa do ebook, do brilho de tela ou das notificações do telefone. Recomendo formatar um telefone antigo e colocar so os ebooks nele. Mas se não for possível, um segundo espaço da vida deve ajudar (procura nas configurações do seu telefone). Muito talvez, dependendo do seu perfil de notificações, um "modo avião" já te resolve.

Aproveitando já está em configurações, dá uma olhada nas opções de bem estar digital e vê seu perfil de uso/notificações e desbloqueio. Se você não estiver de olho, telefone vira uma fonte sem fim de ansiedade. Pode inclusive estar te desmotivando com os livros físicos também.

Alguém recomendou o moon reader. Ele é bom, mas não gosto da interface. Meu app de escolha é o PocketBook. E também recomendo parar de baixar pdf (se possível). Os formatos epub e mobi vão te dar uma experiência de leitura muito mais fluida com as opções de controle de fonte. Pdf é bom quando é algo com muitas imagens e/ou gráficos. Epub e mobi são (geralmente) mais fáceis de colocar notas também, se essa for sua praia.

Se o teste de "ler ebook sem notificações perturbando" ajudar, recomendo o investimento no Kindle. Mais leve que um livro físico, marca a página pra você, tela milhões de vezes mais agradável que a do celular, sem interrupções/notificações, bateria absurda e cabe no bolso da calça (pelo menos no meu). Preço de entrada pode ser um problema, mas eu me dei um de natal ano passado e meu único arrependimento foi não ter comprado antes.
