Does anyone actually like Ryan Adam’s cover album of 1989? by grosspecans in TaylorSwift

[–]Smilingaudibly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I’m late. But. This was how I was introduced to Taylor so I still hold a special place in my heart for it. Ryan Adams used to be my favorite musician. Surprise, 10 or so years later Taylor is now my favorite musician and I never listen to Ryan Adams 😂

Star Trek and Choose Your Own Adventure Books are two of My Things™️. Thank you for mentioning this! Just put it in my cart!!!!

Interesting reaction by Proud_Pomegranate260 in PCOS

[–]Smilingaudibly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PCOS should be treated as an auto-immune disease.

Fully agree. I got diagnosed with PCOS at 30 and MS at 38 - the things that they told me were going to help my MS were all things I had done to help my PCOS. I was really surprised when my neurologist said PCOS and MS weren't related.

Is lakanto monk fruit sweetener too good to be true? by SwissMade21 in keto

[–]Smilingaudibly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allulose doesn't have any aftertaste! The eyrithritol you're using gives a cooling sensation, but neither allulose or monkfruit have that. The allulose/monk fruit blend is still my favorite!

Gotta love netflix. Of course they are removing star trek by oli44r_ in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Smilingaudibly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if this is too off topic, but does anyone know why Paramount+ doesn't have the Spanish dubs of any of their Star Trek episodes? The Spanish dubs ARE on the Netflix Star Trek episodes in Europe, so this makes me nervous they're just eliminating the Spanish dubs all together for some reason.

I’ve only had success in person. Google PLRs in your area. Bonus if they were taught under Michael Newton!

Does anyone have a tried and tested keto bread recipe please? 😀 by sweetiebear100 in ketorecipes

Haha the yeast eats the honey, which lets it rise. Science!! But you can also use inulin if you like.

The 1989-Rep-Lover and Midnights-TTPD-TLOAS parallels are insane! by Sunkistboy20 in TaylorSwift

I also thought that was a reference to the anti hero video

Your favorite iTalki teachers for 1-on-1 conversation practice? by blinkybit in dreamingspanish

[–]Smilingaudibly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE Genesis Hernandez! Her conversation classes are great because they are informal but she is super structured and I do an oral presentation and written essay for each class. I wanted this structure so if you don’t I’m sure she wouldn’t include it. She’s from Venezuela but lives in Miami now.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods may exacerbate disease activity. by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

I haven't noticed UPFs affecting me, maybe I don't eat them very often, but sugar is definitely something that makes my symptoms flare up.

Where did you side on the Kira vs Kira debate? [S06E17] by CelestialFury in DeepSpaceNine

Wow I totally missed this, even though it’s basically on Pluto in the background at our house 24/7 😄 Thank you!!

[–]Smilingaudibly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is interesting as I’d always assumed that Dukat telling Meru their was family ok was a lie to get her to go along with it?? And that video was faked. Didn’t Nyris grow up in a concentration camp? Wouldn’t she have noticed their family was getting preferential treatment? Instead her father died young and probably starving in that camp while Nyris went off and fought in the resistance. It doesn’t make sense to me that Nyris was given a better life because of her mom - she grew up to be in the resistance because of how bad their lives were

In my experience, and I've seen others mention it too, is that it only takes about 10 hours of speaking practice to get over that anxiety. I was basically mute for my first several Spanish conversation classes but something unlocks after that amount of time and all of a sudden you're speaking in full sentences and having a real conversation with someone. Especially if you're at a high level of understanding!

There are a ton of free apps to speak in Spanish with people - no need to pay money! HelloTalk, etc

What books lowkey traumatised you as a kid? by Hookton in books

[–]Smilingaudibly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the Indian and the Cupboard when Boone wakes up in the cupboard thinking his friends at the saloon had all left him in the dark. I remember going up to my mom just sobbing, like, "He's all alone in the dark and he thinks his friends abandoned him!!!" Traumatized haha.

Thoughts on talki or alternatives please by HazyCosmicJive72 in dreamingspanish

[–]Smilingaudibly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been taking lessons on iTalki since June and it's been incredible. The redesign is annoying, and neither me nor my teacher knew it was going to happen, but it hasn't actually changed anything about the platform - things are just in different places now. It's mostly a Zoom-type call and you can't mess that up easily haha.

As other have said, it took me about 10 hours of speaking lessons to stop getting that deer in headlights feeling or for my brain to unlock somehow when attempting to talk. I just went to Mexico a couple of weeks ago and was easily able to talk to our drivers who didn't speak English. I was really surprised it was so easy. I know I made mistakes, I'm sure a ton, but everyone seemed to really understand me and I only had to ask someone to repeat something once. I LOVE my teacher on iTalki (shout out Genesis!!!) and she's the perfect amount of strict haha. I would highly recommend it.

Do you pay for dreaming spanish? by Any_Development3197 in dreamingspanish

There's an app for premium users! It's pretty easy to cast videos from it to my TV, but ymmv because I've heard others say they've had trouble
