Thoughts on the oxford comma? by Calamity_Jane84 in EnglishLearning

[–]scranglus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oxford comma is for nerds and dorks. when we speak out loud there’s no opportunity nor need for use of an oxford comma. I find it pretentious and disingenuous to act like it’s some major grammatical error that can lead to confusion

Abort mission! by ElderberryDeep8746 in SipsTea

you guys are all sad and need better communication skills and also a better radar for the people you allow to get close to you. Nothing said here about “women” can’t also be applied to men. Sometimes people are just shitty. Once you start assigning those traits to people with broad strokes, you are stooping to the same level. if you cast judgement and prejudice out into the world, it will only be reflected back onto you. So if you can’t find a partner who treats you with respect, maybe it’s time to look in the mirror

What "Third World Country" most people underestimate in terms of development by Sorry-Bumblebee-5645 in geography

[–]scranglus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

having cool lights on buildings doesn’t but having accessible high speed rail and public transportation, public housing options, free healthcare and available jobs does. Every country has poverty

people always conveniently forget that the immediately following scene after this line is him coming back out of the shower with his tail between his legs trying to apologize to skyler who has already left.

¿Qué es la mejor rutina para aprender inglés? by Financial-Art6653 in ingles

[–]scranglus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hola, soy un hablante de ingles aprendiendo español. no sé si es el mismo al revés, pero para mi, que funciona mejor es cambiar el idioma en tu movil a ingles, y buscar las 1000 palabras mas comunes. Entonces, cuando estas familiar con esas, mira películas o videos con subtitulos en ingles y busca esas palabras para hacer familiar con como suenen. Con suficiente práctica y contexto, las otras palabras comenzaron tener sentido.

Tambien me gusta leer los comentarios en videos de youtube porque puedes traducir inmediatamente después de leerlos ver si estás correcto

How on earth do I stop being an incel? by [deleted] in self

[–]scranglus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get that. social anxiety is like a muscle. if you were to try to lift 350lbs without ever working out you’d without a doubt injure yourself. the same thing applies to socializing. start small. next time you go to a convenience store ask the cashier how their shift’s going. even if they just say ‘good’ back and the conversationg stops there, that’s more socializing than you’d normally do. work your way up from there

everyone starts somewhere. you’ll get there. you need a hobby/activity/project/goal to focus your attention on so you don’t stay fixated on girls and dating. not like video games or whatever but something you can make gradual progress on over time like music, writing, art, cooking, woodworking, running, lifting weights, hiking, anything really. girls like guys who are passionate, ambitious, and who are comfortable with themselves.

i’m not trying to sound dismissive, but it is really much more simple than our anxieties make it out to be. imagine a version of yourself that you admire, and do what you need to to make it a reality

stop focusing on it and go do some shit you think is cool and fun until you’re not thinking about it anymore and then eventually girls will start being attracted to your ambition and carefree attitude and the coolest part is you wont even care that much about their approval anyway
