One of the main advantages of them is, of course, the taste and the variety of ways they can be used everyday, from adding it to your yoghurt to making jams and juices. There are some of the most extraordinary fruits of this kind.

    Why is your post so US-centric?! We have blackberries growing wild, as well as wild blueberries - people pick them in forests and they don't need to be farmed. I regularly pick both kinds. I even picked cranberries once, years ago.

Are we all related?

-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnYSMhR3jCI This video presents a theory that all people who live today have an identical part of DNA what would imply that we are all distantly related. The speaker mentioned the DNA tests that show how much of what races’ genes does one have in their DNA and kind of encouraged people to take them. While I find these discoveries very interesting and potentially useful in future research that might lead to revolutionary achievements of science and medicine, I doubt that learning this about myself would change anything in my life. To me, it rather seems to be an expensive entertainment than a thing one must know about themselves. at one point At one point I was sure he would fail but he fortunately made it to the finish line. ancestry They were proud of their Canadian ancestry. to mold sb/sth into sb/sth A good leader can mold every group of people into a well-functioning team.

I found it quite surprising and opposite to the idea that the how the space we live in looks can tell quite a lot about us, which I've considered rather versatile. land scarcity Growing land scarcity is a big problem in the most of capital cities. to stack The books were stacked in piles. to piece sth together from The vase was finally pieced together from all the parts but everybody could tell it had been broken.

People oversharing their lifes

-
A few days ago my sister told me about a new trend on YouTube which is that people share videos of themselves describing they everyday life while having a meal. Most of them say that it is made for those who eat alone so they could play such video while eating and feel as if they did it with someone else. The idea seems well meaning but I find it a bit disturbing that the screen of your laptop/smartphone actually means nothing. It just feels very weird to act as if people you never met were like friends or family to you. Another thing is that some people on the internet overshare their lifes. I wonder if they really feel that they need it or if it makes them feel better - it is one of the modern world phenomena I can not understand. I would probably feel extremely uncomfortable knowing that somebody is watching a recording of me having lunch. The sense of shame is becoming less and less noticeable in today's world and although there are cases in which it is great, I am not sure if...
