2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences
Insipid replied to NewBluntsworth's topic in Current Events
No, not the same way, as being male is not exclusive to being white. The GOP has been getting more racial minority votes lately, mostly from men. Trumpism is ending, but something awful is gonna replace it. -
2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences
Insipid replied to NewBluntsworth's topic in Current Events
There's the troubling trend of young men, who were once predominantly Democrat, becoming more Republican. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna174384 I think there's potential of certain sexist rhetoric worsening under a female president. Edit: I just wanted to add, I see Kamala being a two-term president. I am worried about the 2032 election. -
This tweet blew up incredibly. It shows how the Japanese writing system works. I can read it too, lol

What Are You Thinking About Right Now?

Inside Out 2 was good, but the first film was much better. -
ChatGPT is quite useful. I did some exercises to test my language skills with it and I have an A1 level of Spanish and a B1 level of Japanese. If I dedicated a year to Spanish, I would probably surpass my level of Japanese. Sigh, I put so much effort into Japanese too. It really is a tough language for a native English speaker.

Had to share this. Such wonderful people. https://www.reddit.com/r/CoachellaValley/s/kBJCgMMNUs -
Quora, and basically any Yahoo Answers-esque site, are now practically dead thanks to AI. Good riddance, honestly.

Oh mein Gott, the Untermensch dies in Untersberg. -
I received so many political ads in 2016, being an independent voter in PA. I didn't vote that year and . . . well, sorry, not sorry. I didn't care for Hillary at all.

So . . . I have decided on Spanish. I helped a Hispanic woman with limited English skills with my limited Spanish skills the other day. I love French, but I know I'll have way more opportunities to actually use Spanish. Plus, I'm confident that I'll have a better Spanish accent, as I can trill my Rs and I know how to keep my vowels pure thanks to my experience with Japanese. I've heard that it's significantly harder to hear natives speak French than Spanish too, as the French blend their syllables together with their liaison. Sorry disco, if you wanna switch to Spanish. If not, we can still do the duolingo challenges if you're up for it, as that doesn't require the same languages being learned. Thanks, everyone who made topical suggestions.

I believe you. I think the only thing I know about Ukraine is Chernobyl, but I know quite a bit about Russia. Ukrainian on Duolingo exploded in popularity after the war started . . . and so did Russian, to a smaller extent.

The only Slavic language I'm remotely interested in learning is Russian. 💀

Your Spanish is like Shrek? Ok.

2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences

Biden's numbers here for Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan are lower than Clinton's, but unlike her, he won those states. None of this shit is set in stone or sets a precendent or anything. I'll even make a "bold" claim now: Trump will lose the popular vote again for the third and hopefully final career-ending time. -

Dude, who cares? A hustle is a hustle. I just hope you realize this is a short term solution. -
Oh, God dammit. That Boss coffee thread should have given it away to me. I seriously thought he was this one black guy on the spectrum whose name I have long forgotten. Thanks for outting him, lol

Sure, although duolingo has a placement test, and I imagine you'd skip way ahead of me. We could compare scores and practice writing French on the boards here. My duolingo sn is BakanaHannin. If anyone else reading this wants to add me too.

I can make out so many words here from previous experience with Spanish before I used a translator. apprend - learn facile - easy And I once was interested in learning Latin, but these days I would much prefer to learn a living language.
