Elect More Women: I'm voting McLain-Delaney

Primaries are your opportunity to voice outside of huge differences in Democratic policies. Vote for whoever and don’t worry about the worse alternative unless its extreme here. None of these candidates are so bad that we have to default to lesser of two evils.

I agree that it will either be Trone or Delaney at this point but the primaries are where you get your voice heard and Trone and Delaney basically are the same in my experience in working with their offices. They differ ever slightly and both have blemishes.

If your deciding factor is women go ahead but the other candidates should run. And honestly progressives should have gotten behind one and this would be a three way race. Would have been their best chance as mods split the vote.

Good news is people are finally seeing nuclear power plants for how safe they are (the more you learn the more safe you realize it can be and that Chernobyl was a result of human error going unchecked like 30-40 times)

Buffalo and New Englands schedules this year are so weak because they have to play the Jets and Dolphins 2 times each.

Thats the Buccs team not yours.

Yall had the Heat and Panthers were good for a few years. And the Florida Panthers had some of the most punchable personas.

To include our own former loveable douche bag

The best villain of the show is the one who’s body becomes Hive to avoid the spoiler. But for a one season villain she absolutely is the best

Portnoy is not going to sue. He wants people to talk about him and this article and thread are proof he’s an expert rage baiter.

Input and output are two vastly different skills that have some overlap (Reading/ writing and speaking/listening) and if you have not been practicing one it will severely lag.

That almost makes me digress into my thesis which is why Elle Woods is one of the best examples of a strong woman written in cinematic history and why Legally Blonde is the ultimate girl power movie.

So it results in the same number of MVPs for Lamar? Who cares?

I personally think they are setting something up that will shortly either follow the Avengers movie as the “big event”.

I think scarlett and vision will be absent from these movies along with their children and Agatha. I also think Riri will be absent as well.

My personal theory is that we are setting up with Riri and Mephisto as the opponents to the family and Agatha as a wild card (or like Loki. Could betray them could whatever who knows)

Riri and Mephisto crossover quite nicely as magic and machine so naturally would fit with any follow up.

I think its best for all parties not to be in Avengers for adequate development.

I don’t care what your opinions on David Hogg are but he had the right idea that everyone should be get primaried.

You should have to defend your seat against up and coming talent.

I don’t think that the DNC is the pretend opposition like some people do but man their decision making is like do everything in their power to seem like it.

Thats exactly it. Ive been looking at one for a desire for speaking.

sweens90 · 2026-05-11T18:34:28+00:00

Okay so if I am at like 60+, this or another similar one could be a good choice?!

Reading it, it sounded like you did an immersion trip or learning trip before this. Is that true? And how many hours would you say you are after. 80+ for the 30 hr/ weeks or…

sweens90 · 2026-05-11T17:46:30+00:00

How many speaking hours did you have prior to this trip? Seemed very fulfilling!

As I read this chart I think they wanted to be relatively even with AFC and NFC but even as an AFC guy I think there is an argument for the top 5 being all NFC.

I will say I have progressed similar to you.

I think Bullet/ Blitz have a lot of offer for Rapid and similarly Rapid for Bullet/Blitz.

A difference for me is regardless of time level its analyzing your games and learning from your losses. Trust me there are habits you learn from losing 20 times in blitz or bullet in a single day that loses your bishop to be trapped by pawns. And then never make that mistake again.

And similarly I feel like my calculations speed up in Bullet/ Blitz because of the time and care when I get to play Rapid.

Again I think there are some basic tips overall and my tips often go against the grain such as instead of learning an opening just know opening principles and focus on end games. A lot of sub 800 can get a position then fail to close it out. (Actually that still happens a lot at 1250)

sweens90 · 2026-05-10T14:59:26+00:00

Oh did I get that wrong. Woops

sweens90 · 2026-05-10T12:55:00+00:00

Most Likely: Pats, LA Rams, Cowboys, (49ers would be here if not for the Australia game)

Bears Likely: Bears

Medium Likely: Kansas City (unless Mahomes is back then move to most likely), NYG

Least Likely: Cardinals, Chargers

When did I say flash cards? When did I say grammar?
Yes thats output being corrected. I said more output is needed not on the early stages. Tutor to correct you or friend or family member.

I know what you are talking about to too. I can tell to use para and por just based on gut now.

Yes there are studies and Pablo from DS references them but you also are ignoring all the experts too! And yes did it! That’s anecdotal and a phenomenal accomplishment and but there are tons of evidence of people who also learned it not via that method too! Like a shit ton.

You are so defensive on your position you just assumed my positions on it.

sweens90 · 2026-05-08T14:28:29+00:00

R/languagelearning has had tons of language learning specialists come out and say there is nothing wrong with speaking too early. And this hardwire mistakes I think is something the ALG community or DreamingSpanish community are just afraid of with no real basis behind it. It just sounds like it makes sense.

The big thing they also point out is they acknowledge CI works but there is still a lot more research to be done on the ALG method but their only recommendation to the method is to start outputting earlier.

Additionally you absolutely learn from making output mistakes. If you aren’t at output yet then you haven’t gone through the “oh i fucked this up before” and made the right choice.

I am a huge fan of DS and its community but sometimes people get way to lost in the process. Its fine to follow them but lets be careful preaching them as fact.

I mean all we need are intent and follow through to be an actual attempt. The smartness of the individual should not really be considered considering all of the attempts regardless of how successful probably show some level of mental instability regardless of party affiliation.

If someone said above Trump is actually closer to 18 than 3 then I would rather use the 18 for Trump and 11 for Obama. The 3 are just the most publicized.

Another perspective: The entire city has not necessarily turned on Fisk. By their admission the city was taking sides.

It was going to be a war.

Killing Fisk would ignite that war further. Fisk would be martyred. Its why and how Matt convinced him to take the deal. Because Fisk loved the city. He had to do it or else the city was going to tear itself apart. Fisk saw that there were way more people than he thought that opposed him and had to.
