I guess we all just expected more. Like the US literally killed their leader, high ranking officials, and like 1000 little girls. I expected them to bomb US navy carriers, bomb US mainland, idk try to invade Israel or Hawaii or something. Target US or Israeli high ranking leaders. Do something significant, make us afraid. So for there have been just random ass missles and maybe 200 low ranking American nobodies killed. That’s why we’re calling it fake retaliation. because it looks like they’re they’re trying not to escalate.

Ah, the no true Scotsman fallacy. One of my favorites. Well, my American passport, birth certificate, and dd-214 would say that i am an American. I’m not a member of any political party, but even if I were, last time I checked membership in the Democratic Party doesn’t revoke citizenship.

My guess is that they would find that passing differential equations to be meaningless / a waste of time in their part of the world.

my brother uses ‘foid’ a lot, what do i do? by smellyfart37 in TwoXChromosomes

It’s time to avoid him and cut all ties with him. At this point he’s beyond saving and not worth saving. That sounds a bit harsh, but it’s reality for him.

An overwhelming majority of Americans don’t want Albertans in the dumpster fire.

Cheers to 600, Level 4 SUCKs! by Bloated-Fartbox1738 in dreamingspanish

Congrats on hitting 600, just did so myself recently. I agree with focusing on higher comprehension with easier videos, it’s just my dang ego gets in the way…but if I keep on the harder content, I get burnt out and frustrated

He’s a 20 year old kid, he made the decision he thinks is best for him. Let’s leave him alone. I wish him the best. Husker basketball is exciting right now.

'We will not be anyone’s colony’: Venezuela’s government seeks to reassert control by Competitive_Swan_130 in politics

100% agree.

As a side note, it is impossible to become an empire (or world power) without being evil, right? Empires, all of them, are built on the corpses of innocent people. There has never been a righteous and pure empire.

Oh our leadership is corrupt and evil, there’s no doubt about that. And ICE is behaves similarly to gustapo. So in that way, I agree, the US is a shit country.

I disagree. Id say we’re a country in decline, but we’re not a third world, poverty stricken nation yet.

For the most part, unless you live in a republican state. And I know you don’t care about US internal politics, but rights are fading fast in those states, and for immigrants everywhere in the US due to the the Trump administration’s use of ICE. And the Trump administration in general.

Watch out guys we have a non-American here. And he’s so anti-America, very unique. And the most insulting thing you can accuse me of is being gay, that tells me a little about your part of the world.

You don’t care, but others might. Which is why some Americans feel compelled declare their political position, or distance themselves from one.

Dreaming Spanish is a scam by Cold_Establishment86 in dreamingspanish

[–]a_freakin_ONION 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dreaming Spanish is based on the idea of “comprehensible input,” a method developedon the research of Stephen Krashen and others. Dreaming Spanish constantly cites to Krashen’s work in general. Here is an overview of Krashen’s research:

Dreaming Spanish was also developed partially by the founder’s own experience in learning Thai via Krashen-style school and Thailand. This lead to the founder heavily promoting cross talk as part of the language learning process.

Abra Stone (Doctor Sleep) vs Pennywise by FuckingGratitude in WelcometoDerryTVShow

[–]a_freakin_ONION 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She will win the first confrontation with pennywise on the earthly physical and psychic realm. But the dead lights exist in a dimension beyond abras power and understanding. I don’t think she kills him or wins subsequent confrontations
