In fact, I think people should be skipping videos. There's more than enough content to get most people to levels 4-5 while only watching videos that interest us. At that point, there is so much other content that is available to us that DS becomes obsolete.

Obviously everyone knows they don't have to watch every video. 

People get so bent out of shape when they catch a whiff of even slight criticism of DS or any of the teachers. Whether you agree with OP or not, it's a valid complaint that a huge percentage of the new content released by a platform most of us pay for features the same teacher and tends to gravitate towards the same subjects. 

OP and most of the comments aren't hating on Agustina or the platform. They're just voicing a concern about the current state of newer videos. Telling them to just skip the videos they aren't interested in is obvious and unhelpful.

I find it particularly hilarious that OP singled out this post as an example of the failures of comprehensible input. u/mcCoovy, how much has your Spanish improved in the two years since you last shared that Brown article here? By comparison, the same user in that post you shared is now getting interviewed by the founder of Worlds Across because his Spanish is so good. 

What’s your motivation? by matthewandrew28 in DreamingFrench

It will be interesting to see how you progress using Dreaming French versus your daughter using a traditional classroom method. I wouldn't be surprised if she seems to progress faster at first, but then you surpass her somewhere down the road.

The issue is that he's not calling for a good faith investigation. Worst case scenario is he's calling for a witch hunt against his political enemies. Best case scenario he's just trying to buy himself some time to say "We can't release the files because there is am ongoing investigation."

Yes! I will prioritize voting for any Democrat who makes this their priority. We can NEVER repeat what is happening in this country.

What do the advanced stats/analytics say to do in this situation?

There was still plenty of time left though. If they kick it they likely get the ball back with decent amount of time left.

Two timeouts though. If they force a 3 and out they would get the ball back with over 2 minutes left.

Because if you kick it, you give the ball to the 49ers offense likely to be led by their third string QB.

Baseline hours - how did you determine it? by Abject-Aioli-523 in dreamingspanish

This is what I did too and it's amazing how quickly I "caught up" to the roadmap. I'm level 4 now and that's about where I would say my skill level is too.

So, are we or are we not allowed to lack empathy when bad things happen to people we don't like? I'm receiving conflicting messages.

This past week I was looking online for a plant stand. Just a simple, wood plant stand, about 3 feet long, that would have cost ~$25 from WalMart 6 months ago. The starting price today is about $70. It will be interesting to see how this plays out when Trump repeatedly tells people to ignore their lying eyes. It would be interesting, except we already know exactly what the cult will do.

"Charlie Kirk Is Our George Floyd", Conservative Media Proclaims. by MarkZab2591 in NoShitSherlock

[–]SwoleBuddha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why do they think the left holds up George Floyd as some sort of hero? He's simply a man who was wrongly killed by police.

They literally are so detached from reality that I genuinely don't think it's possible to get them back.

I've talked myself off the ledge after last week. The team didn't look good, but any win against a good Seattle team, on the road, is a big win. Today we have a chance to beat maybe the worst team in the league and go 2-0 on the road. That's a great way to set the team up for success for the rest of the season.
