I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories?
I confused Arrival with Annihilation. Both are good movies but I was wondering why I didn't see any linguists

Oklahoma's top education official called out for Libs of TikTok ties after non-binary student beaten at school
Reading this, I thought this would have happened in some small town in the middle of nowhere. This attack happened in Owasso. That's only twenty minutes from me. How could this have happened so close?

Early in the Twitter takeover, Twitter employees were offered a severance package to quit. H1-B workers can't just leave because they need their job to stay in the country. We can thus speculate that most of the workers that did leave are US citizens which leaves Twitter with the H1-B workers

Mondays can be rough. What made you happy last week?
Overall, it's been going well. I do have low points (I just found out my calcium levels are normal so I don't know what caused my kidney stones) but there's good if you look for it

That's not how statistics works. If that were true, you could never test dice for fairness because there are theoretically an infinite number of rolls that could happen

Where do you want to go on vacation/holiday?
Tokyo. I've been studying my Japanese lessons and I can't wait to ride their trains!

That's because it's not the correct spelling. It should be "façade" but English keyboards lack the correct glyph. This doesn't tell you how to pronounce it but it at least gives you a hint that you can't use English rules and that you should investigate it further

How did you acquire the first 1000 words?

Sounds like you're not ready for this stage yet. I thought I could do that with German and failed horribly. I recommend that you get some vocabulary or phrase books. Those are split into sections and you can add those to your list of vocab words. Learn introductions , food, body parts, household items, colors, numbers, etc. What do you often do? Office work? Learn the words for document, report, stapler, etc. Do you travel a lot? Learn airport, train, ticket, etc. Have you heard of Anki? Use it to fully memorize words. Don't just use it for base verbs. Also include conjugations, honorifics, and small sentences. I don't know much about the specifics of the Korean language but I know that it's a difficult language and it'll take some time until you can read native text. When you do, you should start out with music. Songs tend to be repetitive and use the same words so you will start noticing words more and more. Add these words to your vocab. You can repeat this process more and more until you get into websites and TV shows and movies. It will take time and you'll feel discouraged but every language uses more words than others and by learning from these books, you should build up a solid base to the point where you're not clicking on every single word

I'm not so sure about this. As someone who's known several women in divorce, I can say that man like him have ways of trapping their victims. She may seem powerful but that's nothing compared to the man who effectively controls every branch of government. Just because someone is married doesn't necessarily mean they're happy that it's their situation
