классные случаи?
0:53:50 Вопрос: Можно пару примеров осуждения, когда люди часто меняют роли?
0:55:47 Вопрос: вопрос про эмоции. Отталкиваясь от точки зрения, что эмоции передаются на расстоянии, значит ли
это, что я ощущаю безошибочно эмоции своей начальницы?2017-03-101h 14The Strong Towns PodcastThe Week Ahead, February 7, 2017Chuck and Rachel discuss the recent Strong Towns Staff & Board Meeting in Chicago, which included lots of planning and assessment, plus some authentic Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.
