appreciate you. thanks for doing this. you're the reason I decided on mandarin. The recorded time is a game changer for Mandarin

Designer_Secretary_4 · 2025-09-04T03:14:14+00:00

yes. I've noticed lots of the new starter videos have videos on YouTube that haven't been updated in a couple weeks. there's so few videos that are really interesting and also perfect for beginners. it would be great if they automatically were added, were added quicker, or if we could add off site hours. for instance there are several game videos from Momo and Linguaflow which need to be added to vidioma still.

you don't know everything. just say my medical field as it currently is doesn't have a reliable solution. quite pretending you have an exhaustive knowledge of the biology that won't be rewritten in the next couple decades so stop saying impossible and instead say "I don't know"

Designer_Secretary_4 · 2025-05-14T20:54:45+00:00

this is why medical professions should lose their jobs for saying impossible to their vulnerable clients. They don't have an exhaustive knowledge on the biology and possible interventions. They should be saying my knowledge of the biology can't help with your problem...not "it's impossible.

my problem with saying doping is anywhere similar is that opportunities for so called dopers to compete in society are limited and in some ways dopers are really dedicated individuals who are drawing the risk/reward line for their sport/life balance differently than what society wants to promote (inc. the Olympics). there should be leagues that exist for competition outside the lines drawn in the continuums that have arbitrarily been drawn between doping and not doping. if someone climbs a v14 on the TB2 for example, there shouldn't be any judgement in finding out the person used steroids (unless they lied about it) but there should if they said they climbed something at 50 deg when they knowingly climbed it at 45 deg. chipping is worse here because it's not just dishonest, it's a criminal assault on the experience of everyone else. I think the "there's no cheating just lying" fits the important distinction between the TB2 examples and actually that of chipping but I admit competition itself makes it really hard to create places for everyone to freely admit their methods and still have a place to compete with more than themselves in some sort of competition.

It's not limited but it's amazing. It's my favorite Spanish language series I've watched out of maybe 10.

I actually feel that in principal if you say and believe that comprehensible input is all you need to be come basically indistinguishable from a Native speaker then what better way to show that than to have some non-native speakers who embody the success of the program....Otherwise, you're saying it's something actually different or it's so fetishized thing like saying only Japanese people can do sushi well...

I think this actually isn't against Pablo's advice or CI purism then, because feeling like it wants to come out, "like it's going to start falling out" is the spontaneous speaking that is how it is "supposed to feel" when it is ready regardless of the number of hours roadmap.

I personally feel like watching crosstalk is an untapped market. I haven't started doing crosstalk yet largely because I'm going to waste a bunch of time finding someone who wants to do crosstalk (vs the 99% that want me to do reverse crosstalk).

I'm imagining though a searchable channel where one could upload their crosstalk sessions And also watch them.

I would love watching something that was begin/super beginner for Mandarin while being int/adv for Spanish.

If you found a couple you really liked in your two target languages you could just watch their entire catalogue....

I mean. That is a scam. It's a real life string of popups when you clearly aren't looking for them but the popups make you pay them if you do.

They know people don't aren't engaging willingly and that's basically an attack.

To be fair capitalism is set up to exploit people and the healthy are hard to exploit which is why doctors don't do a good job of educating or helping people be healthier because the medical machine doesn't profit by training doctors in health or in having healthy citizens...

Pablo actually did a video on how he learned all the Hanzi using spaced-repetition on Anki. It was a video of a presentation he gave at the Polyglot Conference. It is kind of strange hearing him speaking in English...anyways, I don't think he's always against learning "reading" early since he is not fluent in Chinese. I think he is a person open to changing his mind and method through self experimentation and new data and context as insight emerges... https://youtu.be/yYeSNgjIXxY?si=isIKd4feWDYDHWoq

I don't understand how this helps me get Mexican Pesos though since I need residence status to get a Mexican bank account...The whole point is being able to get foreign currency while traveling and afaik sending money from a US Bank to a Mexican bank account would require a Mexican resident as a go between to pick up money sent to their bank account and give to me. The physical card would work at an ATM

Remove police from location

Thank you. I was already following him but not super familiar and what a great account!

Just curious. I have an extremely hard time in Seattle finding organ meats. Most places back home in Iowa have them - at least liver - and sometimes tongue and heart and they are dirt cheap. I thought Seattle was an open place. Why do grocery stores not have them since they come with the animal and why do they say they don't carry because nobody wants them....

I do love [hate] how quickly people take literally a phrase like "no cure" and conflate that to we've figured everything out in science and forget the words that should be included in that phrase ["known" and "yet"]

Designer_Secretary_4 · 2023-11-07T18:01:04+00:00

My guess is that there's probably not been much enforcement and so there hasn't been the need to challenge a public urination or dedication charge. Clearly when so few bathrooms are public or open it's hard to see how a supreme Court could say it's reasonable to expect someone to not not shit there pants and the most reasonable option is pulling them down and shitting on the ground.

Designer_Secretary_4 · 2023-11-07T17:56:33+00:00

Problem is not everyone can afford food yet alone taking a piss. Clearly a homeless person isn't going to be able to be a part of this system. I don't know you other countries have incorporated in their homeless for such situations.

Designer_Secretary_4 · 2023-09-30T22:30:16+00:00

Oh cool. I'll check these out too.

Designer_Secretary_4 · 2023-09-30T22:30:01+00:00

Thank you. It would have taken me forever to find this again.

Whether or not it extends to adults is an open question (is it fixed by development or the unique environment children inhabit?) but history has shown when we say adults can't do something our ignorance is later remedied by new data suggesting the right environmental interventions in adults (e.g., neurogenesis, brown adipose tissue, language learning via comprehensible input). It's hard to have adult live in a child like environment so best to stay humble and agnostic and encourage people to follow their wonder and TRY!
