  1. Really do have to train your eyes..but west coast FL

  2. You mean like Pensacola to Destin? I still never found one.

  3. You can't. When the people with huge pots of money show up eventually even good old boys who don't like change eventually get on board. I've seen it happen in several counties over 50+ years.

  4. Death of a child. If a child, then the death of a parent.

  5. I’m curious if anyone believes that translating in your head would cease sooner if you are focusing on watching videos (where there’s likely to be more visual context to connect to the words you’re hearing) vs. getting the majority of your CI via podcasts.

  6. I think this is an interesting distinction. I had thought i stopped around 200 but then realized I'm doing it again at 400. I think it does depend on the source of your CI. It might just take a new source, accent, or increase in difficulty to send you back to translating as your brain recalibrates.

  7. It's like these people had a grudge against their hair.

  8. It's clear that you want to be able to dismiss his opinion because you think he's a racist, but both things can be true. He can be a racist and still be right. South Africa continues to slide into greater violence and corruption. He can be as racist as you want him to be and SA is still a shithole.

  9. WTF is up with Newsweek as the sole pusher of all things bad in Florida? Not saying it isn't true, but they certainly seem to have a hardon to see Florida sink.

  10. If you click the "home" button, when you look at the top left of the app, there will be a circle with the first letter of your username. If you click it, one option is "listening history".

  11. White Kanye is gonna get your catalytic converter.

  12. My town was overrun with methheads a few years ago. Twitching? Check. Neck scratching? Check Parkinson like hand oscillation? Nope.

  13. This is obviously only my personal opinion, but I think this sub is very output-phobic.

  14. I think it is somewhat relevant to mention 1000 hours on DS can also mean someone "gave" themselves 400 hours for their high school spanish, or 100 hours for the reggaton they love to listen to. It isn't all the same so some latitude must be given. It is a rough benchmark.

  15. I think you should watch the ALG playlist where David Long explains the method at length. I didn’t completely understand why studying grammar or drilling vocabulary even a little bit was harmful. After watching it, I understand why a lot better.

  16. Sweet view. I like how the Pepsi machine dispenses Coca-Cola products.

  17. A lot of people. So if I had to hire someone dealing with the public I would probably hire someone without face tattoos even if I don't personally have an issue with them. I do though. It shows poor judgment for the reasons I've already stated.

  18. 4 years with a person and not committing to a marriage is a problem.

  19. Why should she pay for a financial planning firm, if she has their finances in order?

  20. Because someone should sell her an annuity and take a percentage of her money obviously. /s

  21. She never thought her dad would turn into a MAGA moron.

  22. He has always leaned to the right politically and she has always leaned left.

  23. That redditor that theorized that in the future we will find out that the boomer and some of the gen x generation has lead poisoning, is adding up.

  24. I found the radiolab podcast episode "Heavy Metal" fascinating. It deals with this to a minor degree. Clearly, the generation before boomers also had the most exposure to lead as children.

  25. The US constitution is very old. And some rules have been proven to be easily exploited. The German constitution was inspired by the US one. Our first constitution (Weimarer Verfassung) was almost as basic as the U.S. one. And the NAZIs exploited it badly. So, Germany re-designed it with the help of the allies.

  26. Democracy allows the majority to bully minorities. It is the tyranny of the majority.
