Well indeed watching movies helps. How about dodgeball! The best might be some comedy show you’ve seen before in your mother tongue so you even know what’s going to happen. When you get good you notice which jokes they completely change because they make no sense in the other language.

I like to do similar with recipes and songs. Find something I like the sound of and make it then you know all the vocab for cooking related things. With music I find a band I like and listen to an album until I know the words.

Another good one is watching sports in the language you are learning. It’s quicker because you can often infer what words are by knowing what just happened in the match. I find this a bit of a more natural way anyway. I appreciate that may not be easy for every language though.

It’s normalized already. It’s fucked up.

Carry on the name?

Only started recently I think.

You can eat the green ones without peeling.

Billy Bragg? He’s folk/rock/protest I guess. Left wing. Does a nice version of the red flag.

I miss Cadbury nuts about chocolate. It was a caramel with a while nut in the middle. A bit like the purple rose.

I really don’t feel like the quality of life is high in the US. How is that measured? Affordable healthcare? Well paid jobs? Affordable healthy produce? Access to public transport? Good infrastructure? Little wealth disparity? Access to education? Can someone tell me which of these the US leads in?

A lot of the original versions of the brothers Grimm stories. For example Cinderella, one of the sisters chops off bits of her feet so that she can try and get into the shoe Cinderella dropped. I think the Prince only figured it out because she’s dripping in blood.

I’m going to the euros! Otherwise I’m watching the other games in the euros!

He was all into the conspiracy theories though, even in news radio!!

Im partial to just a bit of lemon myself. That sauce looks like it could be nice but put it on the side and preserve the crisp!

I didn’t say you would be screwing the boss. What you are doing by tipping is letting them away with it. I understand the expectation, I think it shouldn’t exist, I think it’s wrong. I also refuse to take a job like that which I believe IS the way to change it.

I really really don’t agree with this. They have already been screwed by their boss, you are choosing whether to Bail the boss out or not. The dynamic will never change by continuing your stance, you’ll just keep on bailing out the rich guys.

The freshwater snails are hosts, much like mosquitos in this diagram. They host platyhelminthes. The ascaris and tapeworms are also helminths. As far as I know anyway. I can understand that they wanted to show animals in the diagram because you can actually avoid those but avoiding the snails won’t actually help because the worms infect by being excreted by the snail and infecting another host(human or other), usually in water.

It’s not the articles that are horrifying. It’s the words and actions of these politicians that should have been a political death sentence. About half of the US seem fine with lies, racism, and homophobia. Even name calling was considered uncouth and it’s just mud flinging now and they love it. That’s what’s horrifying. It wasn’t the journos who did this, it was regular normal people.

It’s inherent in the two party system I feel. It’s analogous to that analogy about the two guys on the beach selling ice cream. They start at one end each but in the end they move closer and closer to one another in the middle of the beach or where the most people are. So the Democrats only have to be just “better” than the Republicans to look good and they definitely want to take some of the votes closer to centre.

That being said, they have FAR better stances than the Republicans on many things.

Edit: autocorrect and a typo

By the rich no doubt

I can fit the majority of my little finger up my nostrils. My nose might be slightly larger than normal and my hands are about normal. It just fits up there with a little twist.
