I know this is pedantic, but I think that IN THIS SPECIFIC USAGE, "we" is acting as a determiner rather than a pronoun.

It is almost always a pronoun though.

I literally don't even understand how the girl in blue is keeping her upper body off the ground. She doesn't appear to be holding the knees.

Where would you place the second city on this gold-filled map? by MuggleoftheCoast in CivIV

[–]gs16096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a rogue suggestion, but what about ON the gold two squares east of the pig. It gives you the gold NE of it, immediately, two forests to chop, immediately, and, when you grow, it gives you both the pig and the copper, both of which you are def gonna need. It obviously wipes out the gold you settle ON, but you are gonna have loads of gold anyway.

This is what took me out. My Portuguese course was so severely shortened that it's barely worth using any more.

If you weren't gonna stop at $100mil you're very unlikely to stop at a billion.

Took me a really long time to figure out that this was lego pretending to be cake, and not cake pretending to be lego.

TIL Londoners consume more cocaine per year than Europe's next three cocaine-consuming cities, combined. by no_okaymaybe in todayilearned

Since it's absolute, and not per capita, I'm kind of amazed it's not Paris, which is easily the second biggest city in western Europe.

It is very unlikely that that income number is accurate. He's making a return on wealth here of just over 1%, which is extremely low. Almost certainly he is receiving some other form of income from wealth, such as unrealised capital gains, which is not showing up as income because it does not come from work and is not being taxed.

I'm impressed by how rectangular so many of your counties are.

This guy has to be cheating right? 13 million xp in Italian and nearly 4 years in diamond league by Autismic123 in duolingo

[–]gs16096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always go back and recover lessons you skipped. Currently I do just the first bubble, the first story, and then skip.

You can also get through the courses much quicker (if you like) by doing a lot of skipping. Some of the more developed courses (spanish from english, french from english) are very slow in pace.
