One thing to keep in mind, just to get your expectations right. Kids are more neuroplastic than us, and it takes kids about 5 years of practicing every day to get fluent at their first language. They are learning a few more things for the first time during that too. But you can expect it to take about as many practice hours. So if you only practice 1 hour a week, it’s gonna be a long time. But also, you don’t need to hit the bar of “fluent” to solve your problem. Where kids are at after 1 year is very serviceable for it instead being a second language. If you plan to move to an english speaking country, that would be plenty to get by in your day to day life while you all of a sudden start also spending every day practicing.

Learning to read and interpret a new language is more than 10 times easier than learning to speak it. Even just writing in it, where you have all the time in the world to compose each sentence is going to take alot of practice to get good at. For speaking, you have to be quick enough to form full sentences in seconds, at a time where it’s not the main thought process going on in your head.

They were significantly deregulated under Trump. They have less rules to follow now. The part where they were supposed to have more freedom to choose how to be safe properly, didn’t seem to be how that played out for some reason.

But, the specific type of asymmetrical bob that has been dubbed “the karen”, isn’t it?

Isn’t her hairstyle “the karen”?

When my siblings and I were kids, our parents considered themselves christian and we went to church. But as we grew up, we all stopped believing, and we convinced our parents to stop too. I don’t generally want to convince most religious people to stop, but we were kids at the time and didn’t really know the ramifications of disillusioning our parents. If religious people can believe in “heaven”(or equivalent) and think they are going there, it’s a really nice thought that I don’t want to take away from them. But people that use religion to hurt people, yeah I kind of want to take it away from them. I guess like anything else in life, if you are using it to be nice and constructive, cool. If you are using it to hurt people, take it away.

The real version of death kind of sucks. It honestly kind of physically hurts/feels bad to even think about ceasing to exist permanently. I feel like that has always been the true purpose and main point of religion. Pretending death is absolutely anything else other than what it really is. I don’t want to take that aspect away from anyone.

Well, you got the answers you were looking for, here is a different answer. To your other implied question, how to not worry about dust getting in other holes.

Main thing is to develop positive air pressure. You want more powered intake than powered exhaust.

Use fans for all your filtered air intakes, ignore powered air exhaust, run it at lower fan speeds if you can. Air will get out fine. If you force the air in where you want it to go in, dust will only go into the easily removable filters, it won’t be on your components. Any extra hole in the case will just be exhausting the already filtered air. Then just remember to actually check and clean your filters. That’s the hard part. But if you clean them when they need to be cleaned, you will never have to actually clean the inside or the fans or components or anything else, just the filters.

I’m sorry that this is the best job you can find right now. It can’t be a very fun job. But you are also kind of bad at it, you should at least try to make the post sound like a real human could possibly think the things that are said.

Makes sense.

Ah, I thought populous was more popular than that. I guess it was just popular in my friend group at the time.

Almost all of them. I rarely finish a game. For a variety of reasons, all added together. The closer I get to the end, the more I want to put it off if I’m enjoying a game, so I will keep finding more and more nuanced stuff to do instead. A new game comes out and I eventually completely forget one of the 10 games I’m currently actively playing when it temporarily becomes 11, then back down to 10. My friends stop playing a game, but my character relied on them… maybe I’ll just start over with a character that can solo. Maybe that game will just go on the pile of “not today, but I’ll play it soon”, until it’s been in the pile so long that there isn’t much point anymore.

I should mention I am autistic and likely adhd but I haven’t got that diagnosed yet. So while some of this is probably normal behaviours, some of it probably isn’t too.

You said you tried the game, there is no special surprise that happens later into that makes the beginning worth it. Which is actually what I said, if you didn’t like the start, you won’t like the rest either. For the people who liked the game, it was good the whole way through. You didn’t, there is no secret you missed, you just didn’t like it, which is also what I said. The game is only well liked by a specific subset of people, you apparently are not in that subset. The second half of my post was also just one guess if you thought you should enjoy it but didn’t. There was no way for me to know you tried it when it was new, but then at least the first half of my post was the important part for you then.

So… if not that, what did you actually want people to tell you about why you may not enjoy a game that other people do? That it’s actually a conspiracy and you are the first person to figure out we were trying to trick you into thinking it was good to waste 5 minutes of your life?

The main thing is they literally see it as murder no matter what, so they apply the biblically relevant murder rules to it. No ambiguity. And they see everyone else as literal murderers when they have had to go through with it. It certainly doesn’t help that they also see women as lesser and as needing to be controlled by men, but equating it to murder is still the main driver against it for them.

At least launchers can usually be patched out pretty easily by the community, as they are always hastily and poorly patched in in the first place. And often times aren’t even patched in but just a seperate executable that the shortcut points to instead of the actual game executable, in those instances you just need to make the shortcut go to the game instead.

It is “for” a very specific subset of gamers. If you have played and didn’t enjoy it, you are just not in that subset. For those of us that enjoy it, it was immediate and throughout. Also if you didn’t play it when it was new, it will of course feel like an old game now, as it is. There are always microadvancements in video games that we barely even perceive as they incrementally build on each other. But you go back a whole generation or more and feel ten plus increments at once, it’s just gonna be pervasively uncomfortable.

If you are not familiar with the history of this game, it’s understandable to be skeptical. Obviously in most cases that would be a reasonable assumption. But in this specific case, it being cancelled out of spite actually makes way more sense than it being cancelled because it wouldn’t have been financially viable.

Yeah, but at least they’re finally moving up relative to other countries. They don’t usually do that. Hopefully it isn’t indicative of them standing still and the other countries they passed just getting worse, lol.

I don’t remember them not being a common thing at that period of time, but I do believe you that fox news said that about them. Fist bumps even among white folk have been a common thing for several decades, and even longer for black folk.

Yeah, if there was any chance he was into her, or going to be into her, this would have increased those odds, not decreased. Doing little embarrassing things like that is actually a great tactic if someone was specifically trying to make someone fall in love with them. Lol. So, don’t worry if it was embarrassing. But most importantly, don’t dwell on it or dread it happening again. There is a reason it is a common trope in movies that people are fumbling totally normal actions around someone they have a crush on. It’s going to happen again, and you want it to. Just don’t force it, cuz forcing it and getting that wrong would probably actually hurt your chances.

Him being communist isn’t the problem, throwing his weight around unnecessarily is what is upsetting people. And he just keeps doing it. Like he just gets in a mood and decides to ban a bunch of people for fake violations they didn’t actually do. It’s all logged and people with high enough status can see the logs. He goes on tirades.
