  • I’m learning Mandarin Chinese currently, and you’re right that Duolingo can be almost pointlessly limited.

    Duolingo can be a fun/gamified way to kick off learning, but different languages have very different levels of support. (Hindi is known to be wrong/misleading for one.)

    I’ve shifted to using a mix of free courses on YouTube and other apps including HelloChinese and HSK 1.

    Drops seems really interesting especially once grammar is down, great to drill vocab.

    I may take you up on your generous offer for more advice later!


  • Donald Trump somehow controls Biden-Harris’s foreign policy??

    "There has been no division of labor or dispute on policy. Vice President Harris shares President Biden’s support for an ironclad US commitment to Israel’s security coupled with a commitment to advancing a two-state solution in order to bring an end to this cycle of violence.” - A US official (Source: “Not the bad cop: Biden officials say Harris won’t shift course on supporting Israel”)

    “Biden restricted and conditioned U.S. arms transfers to Ukraine but worried that doing the same to Israel might tempt Hezbollah to attack it. So Biden kept the arms flowing (with the exception of at least one shipment of 2,000-pound bombs) and never imposed serious restrictions on their use.”

    ““The United States supports Israel with weapons, funds aid packages, and has vetoed or abstained from the United Nations’ cease-fire resolutions.”












  • Basically every single one prior to 2016. If you’re too young to remember those, then you’re operating on a window of time that’s too small.

    You’re definitely a white man to believe anything was better for average black Americans and women.

    Civility was still part of politics.

    In the 60-80s when political violence and assassination was rampant?? What is your age exactly? *Obama didn’t experience rampant racism in his run and tenure?

    It isn’t,

    Pretty big flip flop, but I appreciate your admission nonetheless. It’s too difficult to take you seriously given the circumstances of your wildly ignorant framework of understanding.







  • Important to note that fascism and genocide broadly persist under the current Harris co-led administration. Persecution and the marginalization of black Americans persists in the most democrat-controlled cities of America, not just in the Uyghur Autonomous Region.

    Amusing that Americans fear countries that, even combined, are responsible for a fraction of the worldwide political coups and corruption America itself is responsible for.

    America has singlehandedly propped up the Israel military, why pretend it is divorced from moral responsibility in the aftermath of a genocide?

    doesn’t mean that Israel shouldn’t be held accountable

    Why pretend Americans have any moral high ground in geopolitics, especially regarding Israel?
