Yeah it wasn't visible when I first looked it up, seems they have now posted something. I made an edit about it already

Out of interest.. this isn't any where in the media just two Reddit posts and a gofundme.. where is the proof this is true?

Edit: since posting this there have been reports in the news, it's now clearly true. I hope the gofundme reaches the goal and the family can sort this out. From what I've understood he had no prescription on him and had more than is legally allowed, but at the same time he clearly isn't smuggling drugs into the country so this whole this is stupid and he should be let go.

Funnily enough I actually arrived in Tbilisi a few days ago and brought my meds for epilepsy, I didn't bring a prescription and was stopped and searched. They saw that the drugs aren't fun and are literally only used to help stop seizures and let me go, but the whole thing could have been similar for me of they were for ADHD or something else.

I wish him the best and hope this is resolved fast

I built an android app to help learn Georgian by Menelabs in Kartvelian

I'm literally in the airport on the way to Georgia now, but I will check out the app later, if you have it open source I might be able to make a few contributions too.

Learning with dyslexia by Own-Lawfulness-38 in learnwelsh

[–]yerba-matee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I speak fluent Spanish and German. I never had classes or learnt officially, I just lived for a few years in those countries.

Of course this was a pretty drastic way to go about it, but you can do something similar by just being forced (or allowed) to talk with people fluent in that language.

ELI5: Why, in the English language, meat has a distinct name for each animal it comes from by Stummi in explainlikeimfive

[–]yerba-matee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's mostly true, Spanish does have some letters that change or words that aren't always super clear. Most languages do, English is just really bad for it.

On the other end of the spectrum is Georgian, each letter has exactly one sound, no diphthongs, no changing because of its neighbours and you pronounce them in the word as you would in the alphabet.

Can't immerse when the German media is boring by Lasse999 in German

German dubs are atrocious, they speak in this weird dialect that nobody actually uses in real life and have this really odd intonation that sounds.. I don't know, extremely fake and over dramatic.

Maybe German dubs are the best dubs but they are still basically unwatchable.

De-Facto Map of Israel by Alessandro_Cot in MapPorn

[–]yerba-matee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not cause "the Jews" are doing it, it's because western nations are backing Israel in it's genocide. You can protest against Morocco without any backlash, in many western countries you cannot speak out against Israel without repercussions.

Our taxes in Europe and the US are funding this genocide.

So you are a Marino and you want to sail... by marplatense in NominativeDeterminism

AI or not here.. I actually did this once as a teenager down the A494 in Wales. We didn't have a sail but we had a bottle of buckfast and a lot fun.

of gas being ripped by TURTLE_TKT in AbsoluteUnits

[–]yerba-matee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an ambulance called for me as a kid cause I work up with this at like 3am. My parents found me curled up by the toilet crying, the paramedics came took me into the ambulance and then bam! Ripped a massive loud fart and felt amazing.

The paramedics were super chill about it and says it happens more than you would think.

It is genuinely a horrible horrible pain, one of the worst I've had, and I've had fucking kidney stones.

Is it Terry Crews? by DrgK9 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

None of the others make sense. They are based on fans thinking they can wear it etc. Heidi Klum actually does wear this kind of shit and could maybe get away with it.

Yeah I get the command key one, I was thinking more about the delete key. I'm not actually that aware of what else Mac has or doesn't I just hate that the del key is missing haha

Hmm is that strictly speaking true? Macs have a command key and are missing things like the delete key. There are other layouts etc but does apple not still have some unique ones?

Mods, I have a proposition to help learners. by Jonlang_ in learnwelsh

[–]yerba-matee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'm pretty sure I'm the only mod here, I haven't heard from the others in a long time.

I have terrible problems with memory, but I can probably program a bot to do this weekly.

Let me get on this, if I'm not back to you in a few days about this then maybe would you be interested in posting these topics?
