one day it stopped being gibberish and started being language.
I think that day is awesome for any language learner. When you realize you actually understand what someone is saying instead of trying to translate in your head. 🤌

The thing that got me when finally speaking to natives was how fast natural speaking is. You think you can understand things fine but that’s because the teachers and apps are speaking clearly and slowly and waiting for you to parse each sentence. Natural conversation isn’t like that.

you’d be called gay if you ever rode a bike with a helmet back then, and on top of that made fun of for wearing goggles
I agree this isn’t an old pic but this statement reads like you’ve never been offroading on a bike. The first time you’re riding and a branch hits your head when you’re blasting down a trail or get mud in your eye during a maneuver, you’ll grab that protective gear, trust me.

They are more likely referring to Dawn (s2e13 Enterprise). The plot is similar to Enemy Mine and Zhokaan kind of looks like Lou Gossett Jr.

I agree with you to a point. People can get used to high heats. However we are going to be reaching problem temperatures soon. Look up wet bulb temperatures. I will drop this quote from the wiki page on wet bulb temperatures:
Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (131 °F). A reading of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71 °C (160 °F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.

Would you like to know more (examples of people missing the point)?
- Comment on Why People Don’t Catch The Politics In Their Favorite Games 4 weeks ago:
People watch star trek and listen to fortunate son and miss the message in both of those pieces of art so I’m pretty sure someone would miss the political message in just about anything.

Someone set us up the base
- Comment on Every base is base 10 5 weeks ago:
Some societies used base 27 from counting body parts. Sumeria famously used base 60. It’s why minutes and hours are divided by 60

Funny that they have this as a rule:
4- No Zionism or Hasbara apologia of any kind. We stand with Palestine 🇵🇸 . Zionists will be banned on sight.

Depends on the surgeon i would say. I’m would be that there are other Joseph Mengele’s hiding in the world. He just needs to find some sociopath that is also a doctor.

That’s so the sodium content seems reasonable.
- Comment on ‘Chelsea’ Asked for Nude Pictures. Then the Sextortion Began. Young men are being tricked into sending naked pictures to scammers pretending to be women — who then demand money. 1 month ago:
Men, be proud of your cock pics. If someone tries to extort you tell them to pound sand. Cocks are a dime a dozen and it doesn’t matter if your grandma sees your willy. Don’t fall for these scams.
- Comment on Can You Lose Your Native Tongue? After moving abroad, I found my English slowly eroding. It turns out our first languages aren’t as embedded as we think. 1 month ago:
I’ve lived outside the US for a few years now and I’m constantly forgetting english words and phrases. It really freaks you out the first time it happens but you get used to it. Just make sure you keep using your native tongue.

Definitely some form of fungal skin infection. If the ketoconazol shampoo doesn’t work talk to skin doctor for some anitfungal pills. It’ll clear up in a few weeks.
