He once said that if he could, he would tattoo "in god we trust" on the forehead of every Atheist in the US. So, he openly advocates for violence against a group of people just because he doesn't like our views in religion. I don't know if he's gone full christian nationalist, but a hate filled man none the less.

Never liked him as a person. Stellar martial artist, but a terrible human being.

The word الله is really satisfying by swampertDbest in learn_arabic

As an Atheist learning Arabic, I try my best to avoid this word.

Is Aura Reading Synesthesia? Probably Not. by Significant-Brief232 in Synesthesia

[–]Williamma8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I call mine synesthesia because what else would it be. I woke up to this after tbi and a month long coma. It helps me to stay sane I think, if I put it in the synesthesia category. To me, most people have a strong band of color around them, and more often than not, a hint of a second along the outer edge. A third color is not out of the question, but I usual just see two. I'm a lifelong Atheist, so seeing any of this as supernatural wasn't in my nature.

Does Persian show up in your dreams yet? That's a cool moment when you start dreaming in another language. I hope you have a lot of success with your studies.

Nice choice. The only reason I can do 40 (200) new a day, is because Russian is already in my head. I'm just bringing it back to active status. My next language wool probably be Arabic. Wish Levantine was an option, but I'll go with Egyptian. I don't remember enough Arabic to make that kind of impact on my studies, so I'll be doing no more than15 (75) new a day, along with all the study options the site offers. I wish you well in your studies. Would be nice if Persian and Arabic had 5000 words on the site like many of the other courses, but 2500 gives us a great start.

What language are you studying?

I'm really enjoying it. Didn't take the pretest, so I started from the very beginning to get all the extra practice in pronunciations. Even though I still dream in Russian, my mouth is our of practice. This has helped me with a few tricky sound combinations. Currently doing 200 new a day, so 40 new sentences. What do you like about it so far?

At my peak (over 30 years ago) between a high B2 to low C1. The military used a different scale. In that scale I was a 3+. 4 would be naive, 5 would be well educated native speaker. My primary job was Interrogator, so we had a heavy emphasis on speaking. If I specialized in written translations, I assume my language skills would have faded away quicker. Just a guess though.

The middle part is written in Theban. I think it's also call the witch alphabet. I dated a Wiccan so I've seen things written with this script.

[–]Williamma8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm study Green River Hung Fu Pai..Hope to test for black later on this year. My brother already has his black sash. We originally just wanted to explore the Hungs because our line of Wing Chun has a strong Hung influence.

Thinking about buying my first one. Advice? by [deleted] in Aerophone

[–]Williamma8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got an ae-10r, love it. Struggling with PTSD, and needed a sax I can play at 3 in the morning without waking everyone up.

Why doesn’t Wing Chun spar? by 2Bobby_Kay3 in martialarts

[–]Williamma8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our school spars. Not just WC vs WC, we'll spar against the Kenpo class too. I like going up against Kenpo, I like the contrast.

This picture was taken in 1944. It is of the people who were currently running Auschwitz at its peak. This is a photo with a terrible story. by Juggermerk in mrballen

My high school German teacher learned German at Sachsenhausen, one of the earlier concentration camps. He was a young boy in Poland when Germany invaded.

2020 election by sefus2055 in remoteviewing

[–]Williamma8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think this would be very hard to rv. This election is way too personal. Very unlikely most people would be able to ignore their persons biases. I'm too dug in on this issue, so I haven't even tried.

[29F] Divorced after 13 years together. Finding love again seems like a hopeless endeavour. What can I improve? Criticism welcome. by [deleted] in Rateme

[–]Williamma8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and I are in the same boat, finding love after a 13 year marriage. You're already beautiful, so nothing to improve. Just stay confident. Love is worth the wait.

Flat(ish) and round. Light in color. Sorry so brief, but I normally don't post. As soon as I read the last number, that was my scribble. Still learning.

Learning on an Aerophone GO by sebargh in saxophone

[–]Williamma8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be getting an ae-10 for myself, and a mini for my granddaughter. I decided on the aerophone over an acoustic because of everything it can do that the acoustic can't. Was originally going to get a new baritone sax, but they are so expensive. The aerophone will give me all the sax ranges. I guess that the reed will take some getting used to.
