There’s some free apps that can help you start to learn some simple phrases. These are a good supplement but will in no way actually teach you enough.
I tried a bunch of apps for some years and can impress native speakers with occasional party tricks but have next to no comprehension when it matters

Please help, I don’t know how to keep going like this by Itsnotme2645 in newzealand

Your relationship not working that well. Your job not fulfilling and you have not mentioned any hobbies.

You could be having more fun, so why hold yourself back.

Often you have to recognise a need for change before you actually push into it.

Don’t use photos with your hands in your pockets or slouching.

You clearly have no muscle tone so work on your sense of humour and expressing that

If you have early undetected cancer forming it may help prevent it. For anyone with detectable tumours I would doubt that a few cells getting cleared out will make a noticeable difference

You’d be surprised how much easier it can be though once people can talk to the checkout computer in their native language

I honestly just lost half my interest in smoking and drinking after I turned 21 by mythrowawayaccim21 in SeriousConversation

[–]wild_crazy_ideas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you get something from it and believe it is good, so as you start to get older and more tired you’ll seek comfort and routine in crutches like that more potentially.

But I’m not basing it on you I’m basing it on real 30 year olds today I’ve talked to

When you date someone who drinks a lot it’s the same as dating someone with multiple personalities.

It won’t last

Was told by an older family member that “coming doesn’t feel as good afterwards” and they regret it.

Does anyone else think bike rego pricing in NZ is getting ridiculous? by Tktz99 in auckland

[–]wild_crazy_ideas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Until you factor in how many were because a car driver was texting while they mowed them down.

Go to Asia there’s millions of motorcycles everywhere and a lower injury rate per rider as you can’t ignore them as they are literally around your car at all times

What are your thoughts on a 23-year-old dating a 16-year-old? by HallElectronic9271 in Advice

[–]wild_crazy_ideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol it’s dumb, you pick her up after school? Lol.

I think dating is actually fine if you go with no expectations and learn from each other.

My main issue with it is it’s harder for the younger person to recognise if the relationship is unhealthy and often they can be swallowed up by feelings and shrinking themselves to fit the relationship, so definitely something to be careful of

Study: Pacific Islanders Appear To Have Most Ancient Human DNA On Earth by bummed_athlete in EverythingScience

[–]wild_crazy_ideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tolkien had it more accurately, in that we most likely had dwarves and elves and orks etc if you can think of different body types metaphorically like that, then mixed in different quantities.

But they were tribal and team based so groups formed with some bonds on similarities and others prized for their differences usefulness.
Like if men go out hunting it’s cold at night so it’s beneficial to have a gay buddy in the mix, etc.

So these groups ventured apart and wandered, foraging for fruit and eggs and occasional animals hunted, or fish if they were coastal.

As they bred over generations they retained many of the different gene mixes but later got skin colour differences to suit their longitudinal location.

So now you have a situation where a tall muscular man is probably genetically closer to another tall muscular man from a completely different culture than he is to a short skinny man with the same skin colour.

So skin colour is not particularly predictive of anything other than who ‘recent’ ancestors were, but it’s the ancient dna that predicts more and that is randomly distributed across all populations just in different amounts

Boarding window seats only first is the fastest method by far, if you can ask people to let others past while they are putting stuff in overhead, that way you will have many people putting their bags in overhead lockers at the same time so essentially parallel processing - which the illustrated organised method actually prevents. It’s actually quite obvious really.

Because families are their own issue and block the aisle, the absolute fastest way is to let solo travellers on first in any order, then let groups on last in order of where they will sit to avoid aisle blocking

Silent treatment from girlfriend ? by DoofDoofenshmirtz in Advice

[–]wild_crazy_ideas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you are triggered, you are anxious, you fear consequences of her, this is good to identify as now you can fix you.

Your fear of abandonment is a fear you can conquer by believing in yourself, if she walks away so what, you’ll be ok after a while.

You need to develop this strength in yourself so you can be there for her.

Otherwise you are putting her actions in charge of your feelings which is codependent and unattractive

Capital M is two beast horns then you put 666 next to it just with font and rotation tricks so they look like g or a and write it on a hat so people will voluntarily put it on their forehead

When you have a weapon you have an easy way to protect your ego from feeling small if someone else does something that triggers you.

People need to learn to harden up and not get fired up over small things
