No amount of exceptions and quirks will prevent you from learning any language as long as you have lots and lots of exposure. After your reach a certain base level you just keep improving as you use the language, and even the exceptions start to feel natural.

English is the only language other than my mother tongue I have achieved this level with. I'd like to think at least in writing it's indistinguishable from a native speaker. Theoretically tho German should be easier for me as I'm Dutch. But my German never reached the same level because of the difference in exposure

Just don't go there anymore. If we all got on the same page and normalize boycotting corporations for the slightest reason we could hit them where it hurts; their profits. It's the only way we can fight back against corporate greed.. Use the capitalist system they have used to divide and conquer against them. Make them fear us.

Well I mean he's interesting as a case study, his decisions have real world implications and it seems like he's on a path to a meltdown that many people would love to witness in real time

Imagine the arrogance of leaving your country to avoid military service only to run a clandestine racist tourism business in your host country

They're fucking monsters. It seems like radicalizing the Palestinians is the point, so they don't have to talk to them

Yes can we do this

Can we bring back old memes from back when I was in the loop

2 tier justice system. Although I can imagine a judge rationalizing being so endlessly patient with Trump out of fear of what might happen if they aren't.

Not that I would agree with the judge coming to such a decision in that way, but if Trump actually got arrested there's no telling what his base will do. Could be anything from local unrest to full blown civil war

If anything Hamas is the product of the systematic marginalization and humiliation of the Palestinians

Kurzgesagt did this video where they crammed all of Earth's history in an hour. Basically you look at a barren wasteland for most of the time until life finally goes macroscopic and then all of humanity happens in less than a second

I sat through the whole thing and it's still incomprehensible

Half of the YouTube comments are like "yeah well they're not road legal in the US" which entirely misses the point. It's not like that's some kind of cosmic truth that can never be changed. It just means the law is dumb as well

You might want to give Grayjay a try. It's a cross platform video app that lets you connect to people's YouTube accounts but also Nebula and other video platforms. Don't download it from the Play Store though, sideload the apk file directly from the website. I've only used it for YouTube so far but it lets you do the things you would have needed Vanced for before and I love it

1. Oppress people until they get violent
2. Be surprised when oppressed people get violent
3. Kill as many as you can get away with
4. Say the oppressed people can't be trusted and take their land as a buffer zone or to punish them or whatever
5. Oppress them some more until they get violent again, so you can kill more and take their land

Use a fork

US democracy is on thin ice. Enough people are willing to overlook any of the stuff mentioned in this discussion and vote for Trump to flip the elections if Biden fucks up anything. Literally anything, like stumbling over a fold in a rug or forgetting a name.

How do people vote for cartoon villains

Well said. It's like the Israeli government actively want the Palestinians to radicalize, so they can double down on their violent policies in order to get rid of them and ultimately annex all occupied Palestinian territories. They're effectively sacrificing the safety of their own people to avoid a two state solution.

Yes officer this post right here

Can't really commit genocide with a UN official looking over your shoulder

Well, I guess that means that as far as Valve knows I'll still be happily slaughtering zombies in L4D2 at the ripe old age of 130

I wonder if the servers will still be up

The only time I replace electronics anymore is when something breaks or when I'm gifted someone else's hand-me-downs
