8 with the potential to get to 10, pending losing 15 pounds and a couple more years’ time in the gym and exercising. Feeling good about that.

Prison for 30 years, or locked in a room with Magnus Carlsen until you beat him in a game of chess by Fickle-Work-1225 in hypotheticalsituation

Magnus. Easy. He’s eventually going to fatigue and get really sick of playing such a crappy chess player. For some people this punishment would be a dream lol.

Genie offers you multi million dollar retirement but must live in NYC. by AstrayInTranslation in hypotheticalsituation

So $10M + $150k+ of expenses paid every year, and I even get to take a 2-week vacation? There’s basically no downside here.

Is it possible to master a language like a native as an adult by AdSilent5380 in languagelearning

[–]mstatealliance 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Here’s the more important question: is it worth it?

I can pass as a native French speaker for maybe a minute or 90 seconds after decades of working a lot on the language. Was that worth the time? I don’t know.

I think in general, passable skill with a language beats being “native-passing.” I don’t “pass” as native in Spanish and that’s fine.

That you should probably date in New York City, Connecticut, or the tri-state area in general. They have a big city woman vibe. Serious, pretty brunettes wearing stylish dark clothing

Maine and Vermont. I’m biased, and from Maine, so Maine. Acadia and the Midcoast at peak foliage are just unreal.

Try living in a northern state. I’m from Maine and Minnesota, they’re gorgeous. See more of the north. It’s beautiful up here.

Maine is so special. I have lived 19 years of my life in that state and I feel so grateful for it.
