As I've gotten more into cooking as I've gotten older it's frustrating how often people don't really understand why they do things the way they do when they cook something, yet will doggedly insist that it must be done that certain way. As I've started to watch more and pay attention to youtubers who explain why they do things in a logical and rational way, even if you're not interested in that particular recipe, the correctly explained and justified techniques will be beneficial in many other things you cook.

Nope, don't ever want to go back to the office, except for monthly team lunches or something.

Good for you I guess. Virtually no one has the privilege of being able to just quit their their shitty job and take a risk like that but nice if you can.

what do you mean by "And the HR director, feared by many, turns out to be the best advocate for those who run the other way when she is near." ?

Ivermectin is an FDA approved drug and is regularly prescribed to humans. Sure, it probably doesn't do anything for covid but it's not just 'horse dewormer'.

Can you give an example?

Why do you think that people keep voting for the blatantly corrupt LNP? and why are the other parties above becoming corrupt?

Is it possible that the LNP are constantly in power because they are corrupt?

"blindly letting the government erode our rights"

what else are we supposed to do? how do you stop the government from doing that?

I don't think just any old person can make money off OF though, like presumably you need a reasonable camera and maybe lights or something, you need to be able to edit photos, the time and energy and motivation to learn how to use those things etc. It's not like some random struggling single mother can take a few pics of her feet on her 5 year old iphone and be expecting to make decent money.

Sorry, what does "Traditionalist conservatism places a strong emphasis on the notions of custom, convention, and tradition." have to do with the left?

That's cool I'd love to hear more about it, I've actually been thinking about ways that a language app could work better. Seems like all the current research is that "immersion" in the target language is critical, an app that just played me conversations, had me read text, etc and 'creatively' formulate responses, not just simply fill in the missing word, obviously in increasing difficulty would be ideal.

yeah babbel seems better although iirc the interface was a bit clunky.

I also found busuu and linq to be okay as well.

Honestly from using duolingo pretty heavily for a couple of years, attending language classes and doing my own individual study I've found duolingo pretty useless. It's "fun" and gives one the sense of progress without really accomplishing much.
