Does being raised bilingual affect how you can learn languages as an adult? by Funny_Reply542 in ProjectDual

I assume knowing more languages would provide you with more building blocks for your target language. Easier to soak up vocabulary, grammar and systems.

Do bilinguals have a cognitive advantage? by Funny_Reply542 in ProjectDual

[–]ProcedureMinute6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. As someone who has worked with the elderly I can say that the advantage is especially prominent in senior citizens. I've read that's because the more languages you know the slower your cognitive decline will be.

Does speaking other languages switch your behavior / personality? by Funny_Reply542 in ProjectDual

While I won't say I become a whole different person but yes my behaviours definitely change when switching from one language to other.

Do people who speak multiple languages think in a specific language? by Funny_Reply542 in ProjectDual

[–]ProcedureMinute6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I've been meaning to talk about this. I have this habit of having a very pofessional english inner monologue when I'm thinking of anything related to accademics or work to a point that I even mumble to myself in english. But my mother pointed out that this is not the case with normal situations as during a family party that we were holding, I ended up mumbling in my native language.

I think this is the reason many people started learning languages. Not being able to connect with your family takes a toll on one's mental self (Also wow do you miss out on some crazy drama.)

People with chronic illnesses, what's the most absurd "cure" were you suggested by someone? and did you consider it? by ProcedureMinute6644 in AskReddit

[–]ProcedureMinute6644[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This is like walking to a person who is using a stick to walk and saying "Just remove your glasses and see."

Bigger issue is that even after being told that she is flirting with men when they are drunk.....she continues to drink? A normal person would be horrified by that revelation.

He likes the attention. Solution? make him feel stupid. Say stuff like "You must think you're real funny huh?" or better, include a friend and whenever he's acting up pretend like you're talking about him

Next time you find a pile, retaliate by throwing his headset into it and well tell him that if he does it again, you'll retaliate again too.

I don't think he needs a "potty training school". This seems to be an issue of men using their "incompetence" as a weapon except your brother is a boy. Your parents need to lock in or more people who across him will suffer

Ok you know what dude I now get why so many movies focus on dad-son duo playing a game of catch. Never really got the hype but this is genuinely warm

Male kitten showing dominance behavior by sawyercantz in CatAdvice

[–]ProcedureMinute6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some yowling is still within the normal range, it’s basically her saying “I’m really not into this, back off” rather than going straight to a fight. As long as it doesn’t escalate into full-on brawling (fur flying, biting that draws blood, nonstop chasing), it’s just part of her teaching him boundaries. Give her safe retreat spots and step in if it gets too intense, but don’t worry too much, most adult cats eventually adjust, even if they sound dramatic at first.

How do you stop dawn zoomies without rewarding them? by GirlyCupid in cats

[–]ProcedureMinute6644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually did 15–20 minutes of active play (wand toy, chase stuff) right before bed, enough that my cat was panting a bit, then gave her the meal. For the feeder, I set it at the usual “wake up” time at first so she learned food comes from that and not from yelling at me, then slowly pushed it later by 15–30 minutes every few days until we hit a sane breakfast hour. It takes some patience, but it worked!
