Nice!

Yeah, and additionally, meeting other parents around school events can be good. There’s lots of time. Seems like you’re making the right moves. Best of luck!!!

No you’re right, I’ve changed my mind. I’m happy to get fucked over by someone as long as their power comes from being wealthy…

I used to remember because space (Karman line) is 100km or 62mi up. I guess it helps to be a space nerd for that one. Kind of just figure 1.6 going the other way.

Human art, even when claimed to be AI, conveys emotion and connects with people through it. Generative images lack the expression of emotion, and so they are found lacking connection when compared to art from a human of even moderate skill.

More like you have a simple and easy to follow recipe for cake. You and a friend are following it dutifully. Just before the last step of the recipe your friend gets a call from their partner. Your friend then pushes you out of the kitchen and locks you out. The cake is served frosted in your friends freshly cut hair clippings.

Pretty sure he was out pulling the empire away from yavin to buy them time while the rebel council was arguing and indecisive, only to end up complaining that he deployed without their prior approval.

Yeah i think just having experience with a different grammar at all forces you to be more flexible. When you only talk to other english speakers as a first language, the rules are somewhat rigid in the sense that everyone’s interpretation assumes your intent aligns with what is spoken. If that’s your only experience you might try to apply that assumption with non-native speakers. So I’m suggesting regardless of your knowledge of any particular other language, having learned some of any secondary language in practice forces you to re-evaluate the rigidity of those social rules and think more critically about what an English learner is trying to say.

I was in it for 5 years. I wouldn’t have made it another decade. Glad you’re on the other side. I hope you can find your emotions, the ones that you have somewhere inside that really care for you in a way you haven’t felt all this time.

Also therapy if you can afford it and find one that clicks with you. It’s frustratingly helpful in that it doesn’t feel like you’re doing much but the reinforcement and structure is everything.

And definitely more dates!

I wouldn’t expect Scandinavian countries to move much. Most of them learn it to fluency as part of primary education.

1. England
2. Ireland
3. Australia
4. New Zealand
5. Bahamas
6. Nigeria
7. USA

Checks out.

I wonder what the numbers look like between English first language ‘with no second language experience’ versus ‘some or fluent post-childhood learning second language experience’. Because there are a lot of English only speakers.

I’ve been told im awful to practice English with because i just understand. But i have teen/adult learning experience with two other languages.

You’re right, definitely better to be oppressed by the authoritarian power and political inequality of capitalist elites.

Inb4 “tankie!”: no, both are/were shit.

This. They’re more widely pissed off at the status quo because they never had the future that millenials were tricked into believing but received scraps for. Now the scraps are all gone and gen z knows it.

Socialists like Mamdani give an actual hopeful future with a real tangible promise.

The ones who voted for trump didn’t have that at the time and were faced with forever status quo of insufficiently paid debt servitude, or try something. Even if it just breaks everything there’s at least a chance for a better future in the aftermath.

I’m not saying there’s a shortage of fascist gen z, but there is absolutely a shortage of better options in politics. I hope we see more unapologetic socialists like Mamdani. I’m happy to bet the vote would swing amongst gen Z significantly even in deep right territory.

5. Im very 5.

Look I’m not defending much, but especially not what came after 2006. Shit went south but it wasn’t the humor that caused it. /pol/ was a mistake from the start. Gave the fash an unmoderated anonymous hang out. That spread after 2006.

Probably the strongest argument against her. I think i just washed it away as a lib take in line with pelosi/schumer types.

The spores in the cap are also active but with cubensis in low wind they tend to drop on neighboring caps. So being eaten directly and spread should have a higher load transited.

I’m no scientist either so take my thoughts with a cow pie.

Given that there no girls on the internet i doubt it.

Peak

Moreso a means of communicating where everything is tongue in cheek and generally accepted as fake. It wasn’t perfect, don’t want a lot of it back, especially not the parts that eventually incubated fascists, but that’s her humor, and i understand it.

She’s problematic in oh so many other ways. I’m not suggesting she’s a protagonist here lol
