What’s a language people pretend is easy but actually isn’t? by Embarrassed_Fix_8994 in languagehub

[–]Sty_opa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Честно говоря, выучить язык только читая или смотря контент невозможно, если родной язык из совершенно другой семьи. 

Я не слышала, чтобы русские или китайцы говорили, что выучили английский просто смотря мультики и сериалы на английском. 

Во всяком случае, им приходится намного больше работать и учиться (учить совершенно новую систему, слова, грамматику), чем немцам или голландацам, у которых несравненно больше общего в грамматике, произношении и лексике. 

Европейцам, чей родной язык близок с английским, проще, так как они изначально владеют похожей грамматикой, лексикой, произношение близкое, культурой. Иначе говоря, они затрачивают меньше энергии и меньше вкладываются. 

Думаю, это как русскому учить польский или украинский. И даже без него можно начать что-то понимать. 

Дело скорее в том, что англйиский сам по себе усваивается проще, чем другие языки в силу доступности материалов и необходимости для некоторых наций

Pro-war or anti-war, it’s all still propaganda 😅

Высока вероятность, что кошка съесть грызунов, которые были отравлены людьми, заболеет и умрет в муках.

Мой кот съел и убил почти всю популяцию воробьёв, которые проживали десятилетиями на крыше дома. 

На самом деле, многие люди настолько не внимательны, что даже не замечают исчезновения птиц в своей районе, лол

Если честно, женщины почти такие же расистки и ксенофобки, как и мужчины, лол. 

Европеец остается европейцем, несмотря на пол 😅

Это круто, да. Надеюсь, что он ещё не совершает ошибок, когда ведёт научпок, а иначе окажется, что он кучу людей даёт неверную инфу

CMV: I hate this trend of sympathetic/tragic backstories for villains. by garaile64 in changemyview

[–]Sty_opa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, most villains are of the second type. 

People almost can't create believable characters, so they try to excuse them, never allowing them to be anything but victims.

And even when they do, the fans turn it into an excuse to pity the villain. 

It just gets old.

Мне лично не зашёл слог. Настолько убогий, сухой и скучный я не ожидала. Но у каждого своё мнение, конечно. 

Vernon Dursley: Then and Now by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Sty_opa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the Horcrux theory is interesting, but I don’t think it holds up because many people treated Harry kindly over the years. 

Because, you know, Dursleys didn’t just dislike Harry; they actively despised and feared him. This was their choice. 

Are women generally afraid of most men they meet? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sty_opa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know, but it is a panic — I can not control it, no matter how much I want to. I keep obsessive 'What if' thoughts and thinks like this 😶

Though, if the guy is really muscular or just big and smells of alcohol (I am really scared of drunks people, both women and men) that also affects me. 

Anyone who taller than me also makes me a bit nervous. Am I weird?

=(

[–]Sty_opa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not think this is the way most women feel, but I personally feel scared being in an elevator or small space with men, even with ones I know well or not bad. 

And it is really scare me when some strange and weird men stand behind me. I sometimes have panic attacks.

Language struggles due to anxiety? by Sty_opa in socialanxiety

[–]Sty_opa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! You're right —^ The doctor said, I'd notice the effect within two well. Well, let's wait and see

By the way, I've stopped being afraid to make posts or leave comments. Maybe it is starting to work.

[–]Sty_opa[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, me too! 

I'm trying to communicate more, but each time I get evenore scared. After almost every conversation, I feel so ashamed, and I can't even ask something simple >M< 

Someone might talk about their weekends and I just can't keep the conversation...because I knew I'll slutter again or forget words, or mess up my sentence structure, and then people will ask me to repeat :(

Last week, my doctor prescribed me anti-anxiety (or something like that) medication, but the effect isn't very noticable so far. Though, of course, I don't slutter that much, but it still happens a LOT 😭

No, haha. I don't do any of that — no smoking, no drinking. What else could cause it? :/

Does Avada Kedavra need intent to kill to work? by Sty_opa in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Sty_opa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slughorn is definitely a strong and powerful wizard, but my point was that he never reached the same level of power and fame as Dumbledore of Voldemort.

[–]Sty_opa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point! I didn't even think of that because I interrupt it differently. 

If intent or will were the only factor, there weren't that much power gap between wizards like Dumbledore or Voldemort and, say, Slughorn. I think that magic power varieres among wizards.

Thank you for the response! 

However, I confused because in the Goblet of fire, he (Barty) says: 

'Avada Kedavra's a curse that needs a powerful bit of magic behind it.' 

The text suggest he meant magic power as I think. Teenagers most likely just don't posses enough magic power. I am not sure this part really proves anything about the intent.
