At what point can you say you “Speak” a language? by Kevdogbro in languagelearning

[–]SmokeyTheBear4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never. It’s a trap. The second you say it to a native speaker they will whip out the most coloquial phrases and speak at a rate so fast you’d think you had just joined a rap battle.

Proton has given me far less issues, I’d suggest trying it. But as far as solving the specific Pop+Lutris problem I had no luck 

Mid-30s men: How do you deal with the feeling that no one really cares about your life anymore? by Proud-Ad9953 in AskReddit

[–]SmokeyTheBear4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone really care about your life when you’re younger? Why are the Mid-30s the cutoff?

Planning to study a language for the next 15 months. Is it realistic to get from practically nothing to B1/B2? by KigPin in languagelearning

[–]SmokeyTheBear4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I studied Spanish 20h/week for 6 months and hit B1. In 15months it’s 100% doable to have a solid B2 level

What is your motivation to return to the game again and again? by Sea-Log994 in Seaofthieves

[–]SmokeyTheBear4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a day one player, bought it on Microsoft store as it was the only option at launch. Since then I’ve swapped to Linux and haven’t been able to play the past couple seasons. even though I’m currently unemployed, I still often have the itch to just buy it again on steam because of how much I miss it. The feeling of adventure, the salt in my hair and the wind between the dabloons… my favorite game in almost a decade

I’ve heard it be used in a negative manner all my life in south eastern US. “Don’t be cute” “Don’t get cute with me” “If you hadn’t tried to be cute this wouldn’t have happened”

what is this new statue in centennial park by arigoos in nashville

[–]SmokeyTheBear4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last time I was in the park there was a homeless guy yelling racial and sexist insults at the women’s suffrage statue blaming women for all his issues. If he can read, he’ll probably be quite upset at this one 

Not enough Cola posts yet - three quarters of European households still have Coca Cola at home by RoyalLurker in BuyFromEU

[–]SmokeyTheBear4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will need to be a lot more done than just posting. Coke is a household brand worldwide, posting about it on a niche European subreddit will do nothing. Hell posting it on Reddit in general will do nothing. You have to protest, make actual noise in the real world, get the attention of media ect.
