But you could add some truck nuts behind every train car and some bull horns on the front.

Because the same people profiting from this system bankroll the media and politicians. And when those kinds of things are discussed in media, it flies over people’s heads because media literacy isn’t really common.

Yup, 1/5th of fascists know they’re fascists.

4. Remember that no matter what you do, as long as you don’t try to stop corporate polluting, you might as well just be doing it for morality, not for the planet’s biodiversity.

The one thing I hate about the sub feed is that I can’t seem to filter out shorts. I have no interest in shorts, and they make up more than half of my feed.

Mr Samuel Streamer is my daily bread. Funny dude. Never miss a video.

Cleared it up, thanks! So, going forward, how’s it looking for the socialist party? How is the whole thing gonna play out? I’m entirely unfamiliar to how the spanish political system works. If it was similar to my country, elected leader (do you guys have a president?) would be locking horns all term long with congress and getting absolute jack shit done.

Not spanish, correct me if I’m wrong: conservative/alt right majority was narrowly avoided by socialists and there might be a second round of elections soon?

Has your SO tried books? Ebooks or audiobooks could be helpful. They could try reading a book they are already familiar with in english, that way they wouldn’t have to put too much effort into getting acquainted with characters and plots, and focus into pronounciation, grammar and slang.

Also, music. Paying attention to the lyrics helps with learning new words, though ig metaphors, similes, etc., would be tricky, if not an even better learning experience.

This. The two times I’ve noticed my spoken english getting better were when I worked at a call centre and when I spent hours and hours on my clan’s Discord back during New World’s release. Plus, it allowed me to really see what weaknesses I could address by just asking people I was hanging out with how they would pronounce a word. I’ve recently started to have the same thing going with Battlebit, but I haven’t found a group to game with.

If OP’s SO is at all interested in history, Overly Sarcastic Productions has a discord channel and people there are beyond nice. If Gaming is an interest, there’s tons of niche content creators with their own discord to just chat in.

Self righteous might fit the bill.

This is very common if you switch languages often. Half the time I’m typing something in spanish and want an english word it jumps the gun and outputs a word I’ve never ever used, and viceversa. That said, I still prefer swipe.

In my corner of the world we’re not there yet, a handful of places have adopted online menus but even those are a hassle. Most places just upload their physical menus as a pdf and call it a day, the others ignore basic principles of design and make the site overcomplicated.

If it were to be implemented in some new restaurant, I hope it gets implemented as you describe it, sounds like a dream.

Used to swim when I was a kid, was pretty good too apparently. Coach wanted to put me in a pre-15 y/o (10-15 y/o) competition when I was 6 or 7. Got cold feet and dipped out. I dunno if I could take it as an alternative though, I’ve done it now and again but it feels like running. I prefer HIT and even that I don’t love.

That “big rock make sad voices go away” bit had me hollering ngl. Very relatable.

I enjoy the simplicity of weightlifting. Make sure your form is good, count reps, count sets, take note of the weight lifted. All of that keeps my mind occupied for 2h, no room for it to wander into topics I’d rather not think about atm.

I also find some measure of joy out of knowing I’m lifting more today than I was last week, it’s simple and measurable progress. No room for subjective bias, unlike other things I’m trying to improve upon.

It also has the added benefit of tiring me out. GAD and ADHD make for horrible bedfellows, they’ve made nights sleepless for me more often than not, so I’ll take any help I can get.

Edit: otoh, I hate cardio with a passion. Its boring and does nothing but make me sweat and lets my mind wander. I’ve tried everything, from music, to audiobooks, to podcasts. Plus, I feel like I run loudly, like my feet are made of lead, and I don’t like being loud.

I’m SzPD and not from the states. Had to go through Houston last year on a connection flight, when I first saw those tablets in the airport I thought it would’ve been the bees knees. Thing is, those things are so overloaded with useless shit (like ads) I just wanted to talk to a waiter. So many clicks to get to the main courses on offer, and there wasn’t any available space for notes, in case a costumer had a specific need (allergies for example). Plus, signal was so damn slow it took a while for it to load the dishes’ pictures.

No contact ordering has potential but it needs UX designers on top of the whole thing in order to make it more convenient and faster than just telling the waiter what you want.

For a time I felt like that. There was this girl with I had been friends with for about a decade. She had been there through my best and worst and put up with my shit. Then I got worse, kinda pushed her away, and we stopped talking. For a while I felt like I missed her (in reality I had feeling for her), but with some time I realized we also grew apart because we grew into different people, and that’s fine. I missed the feeling, not the person, and the feeling likely won’t come back.

We got the moves - Electric callboy. Popped into my recommended when it released, with me having 0 knowledge about the band or what they’re all about. Just saw this dude in a weird costume and apparently it’s techno? Not the kind of music I like, gave it a try anyway. Then it got fucking wild. Not a day goes by without at least one EC song since then.
