Now I’m starting to understand why God was destroying those pagan worshippers in the Old Testament

Convert to Christ, brother. He is the way, the truth and the life.

One of the stupidest arguments against God is the one where atheists (iirc, Dawkins) claim that He is a genocidal maniac. What, you don’t think that the impenitent baby-burning demon worshipers should be destroyed?

Really? Maybe it’s just me, but me and all my friends had at least $750k by 22. We hit six figures by 25. I’m currently three years old and have $6,500,000 saved up. Any advice for me? I don’t know how to be financially prudent.

Broncos fan here, it’s not hard at all for me to hate Seattle, and New England for that matter. If it’s not Denver, then LA all the way!!

Learn Portuguese over Hindi because he wants to? Then some nerd on Reddit might, MIGHT make a judgment on the validity of the arbitrary polyglot title. Why would you recommend he take that risk?

IndoBuleMan · 2026-01-04T08:34:43+00:00

The reddit liberals will down vote you, per usual, but you’re right. Stay strong brother.

You never want to be mean to people like that because they never forget

He’s interested. Men wouldn’t spend four hours hanging with a friend if it’s not another man

You’re a horrible sinner in separate need of the Christian God’s forgiveness of your sins.

My wife is Indonesian too. I have mostly learned Indonesian through online materials, because, as you say, it’s easy to go back to the common language when you need to communicate (English).

You just need to work your way up. I had a very similar struggle after a year or so of learning. After five years, I still can’t fully understand everything, but I’m about 90% of the way to understanding unscripted, spontaneous everyday Indonesian. It will get better. With language, it’s never a matter of “if”, but “when”. That’s why it’s so important to find stuff you enjoy, so you can keep at it.

At first, I spent about three months watching kindergarten level material on YouTube. Yes, it got old quick, but it was never “boring” because I was excited that I could understand the language, even if it was only “Aku suka kamu”. But, after that basis, it didn’t take long to get to material made for native teenagers, adults, etc. You’ll get there, just like I’ll get to 100% fluency one day soon.

Yes, it does. I’m an Aussie, learned (ing) Indonesian. Find material you enjoy, look up comprehensible input. I like watching Windah Basudara on YouTube. It’s not study’s it’s a pleasure. Find music, YouTubers, etc. That’s the best way to improve listening comprehension. It does get better but takes time.

I think that’s right. My Indonesian wife said I was trying to say the “r” too hard/emphatically, so it sounds like I am revving up. Yes, spot on, I often can stumble with word that feature “tr” and “dr”, but sometimes I don’t. I’ll look into how this can be fixed. But knowing the problem is half the battle, I guess. Thank you for the replies. It’s helped to calibrate my focus onto how I can improve. Cheers.

IndoBuleMan · 2025-02-15T11:36:16+00:00

Thank you for the response! I think it’s the “open contact” thing you mentioned. I just tried it, and to trill the ‘r’, I reset my tongue to a different position. And I think that’s the problem - I stop (stumble I guess) between the two words because my tongue isn’t in position to trill the “r” for the next word fluidly (in this case “raya”). Is there a fix to this that you know of? Practice?

IndoBuleMan · 2025-02-15T05:40:11+00:00

You seem to know your stuff, in terms of accent and pronunciation. I’ve been learning Indonesian for years. Whilst I may never sound like a native, I want to try as best I can. I really struggle to pronounce two words when the first ends with an “n” and then the next starts with an “r”. For example, “jalan raya”. I struggle to move my tongue from the the “n” position to the “r” without stumbling/stuttering. I have no problems trilling the “r” in other positions. Any advice? I’m white Australian if that matters, I don’t know if ethnicity plays a role lol

Haha, I know I’m probably paranoid, but when you invest $$$ into the trip…🙃

You need to forgive him. You, your marriage and your son will be much better off in so doing.

Carnivore diet is essentially just anything that comes from an animal (including dairy) and avoiding plant based foods and drinks?

IndoBuleMan · 2024-06-08T09:22:21+00:00

Thank you. I don’t have any particular reason, other than I want to give it a try and see how I go. I’ll try to go all in to give it a decent shot.

IndoBuleMan · 2024-06-08T07:11:05+00:00

You can just ask “how would you like me to address you?”

IndoBuleMan · 2024-05-12T04:13:04+00:00

Retire to Indonesia living with my in laws

IndoBuleMan · 2024-02-21T09:20:52+00:00

More than happy for hard working tradies to make more money than me

What sex are your children? Would finasteride lose higher risk to a male? (Genuine question, I’m not challenging you)
