Vegans at the gym
I personally found it funny, and I'm a vegan. I don't know what is up with the dislikes, as it is clearly a joke. Can someone explain?

WWF helping facilitate trade in polar bear fur, investigation reveals
Well, I'm not saying it is not true, but I looked up in internet and no news site has echoed this specific information. The article doesn't even say how WWF is involved. Where is the proof? It appears to be misinformation against WWF.

What is the best way to learn a new language as an adult?
I'd say it depends on the time you're willing to spend. If you have all the time in the world, I would use a full immersion method, that's what works best for me. Put in as many hours of movies, podcasts, tv shows and Youtube videos as you can, in your target language, even if you don't understand a single word at first. Combine that with daily grammar lessons so you can get a grasp of that language structues. Comprehension will slowly grow day by day. With this type of method I was able to learn italian in 2 years, and japanese in 3 years, both at a very high level.
If you don't have much time to learn, you can always use a more traditional method. Find a course where you can practice 2-3 times a week with a teacher, and combine with 20-30 daily minutes in an app like Duolingo so you can also stablish some vocabulary. With this route you should achieve a decent level in your target language in about 4-5 years, at least based in my personal experience, as this is how I learnt english.
Remember learning a language is a marathon, not a sprint, and the only way of making progress is practicing almost every day. The single thing I would advice against is to study using ONLY apps like Duolingo or similar. They will award you with a false sense of progression, while in reality you will only be learning premade sentences in a vacum, that won't make you improve in real conversation enviroments. An app will always be lackluster in comparison with a real teacher or course.

And that's only the race segment. Once they finish the race, they use the poor animal for a bullfighting spectacle wich is even more brutal.

I've red them. They basically say that polar bears aren't endangered enough to get the highest level of protection (Appendix I, CITES), but at the same time they give a lot of recomendations to stop hurting their poblations.
And we can agree that polar bears should have the highest level of protection. In my opinion WWF should grant them that status, it seems a little bit unethical fron a "green" organization to say that is ok to trade with polar bear furs.
That is one thing. But to say that WWF is benefitting from trading with polar bear furs? Like wtf, it seems like a HUGE misconception argued in bad faith. As I said, where is the proof?

Anyone know of any good cheap/free trivia party games?
For physical games you should try Smart 10 or Beezzerwizzer. They're pretty light and fun to play.

It was so nice that someone would actually explain this to me, instead of pushing dislike like a mindless monkey just because they red something they don't like. Thank you very much!
