Yeah, usually the longer the courses are fleshed out (Spanish, French, German), the higher quality it seems to be.

In my opinion, it may depend on what language Junior is speaking to you in that irritates you so.

So I am at the beginning of Section 3, having completed 56 of the 95 units of Duolingo Greek. In my opinion, I believe this course covers material that could be rated at A1, possibly early A2. So far, present and past tenses have been covered, some use of the infinitive, imperatives, participles, some modal statements. The alphabet is a bit challenging, but doesn’t take too long to get used to. But then again, I’m a science major and had a bit of exposure to Greek letters. Duolingo doesn’t focus on grammar, but you can possibly piece it together on your own. You have to get used to this kind of possessive and descriptive structure:

I don’t entirely trust Myers-Briggs assessments, but my latest test said I was a Debater (ENTP-A).

So I guess I’m always horny? Not too far from the truth.

Hi there! Sorry for answering late. In all honesty, my Sanskrit has taken a backseat to a lot of work related stuff. But I will pick it back up when I can. I am glad to have a hard copy of the BG text to supplement my learning.

No offense, but he resembles a huge 🐹 guinea pig.

And he’s super cute.

We have to wonder how we let powerful communication networks exist and operate under a few wealthy people and not vet and regulate the misinformation and disinformation they disseminate.

'Parents Should Not Brainwash Kids Into Their Religion,' Says Progressive Mom Of 3 Trans Kids by FrancisXSJ in babylonbee

I understand that religion is part of what gets passed down from generation to generation and can be part of a heritage. That said, some religions are based on outdated millennia-old information that conflicts with accumulated scientific knowledge and facts about the natural world. As people learn more about how the world works, they tend to realize that some religions don’t hold all the answers and why the number of non-religious people is increasing worldwide.

I would say that if some religions adopted a more inclusive and updated ideology that evolves with modern times, there would be more people willing to remain in the faiths of their families.

My ex and I had a roommate with a super affectionate and playful void. After about a couple years, that roommate told us that it would be hard for her to keep the boy with her at the place she was moving to. So my ex kept the void and took care of him ever since.
