  • yea, the jedi were ideological conservatives.

    and that meme where Qui-Gon jinn brings back both Anakin and his mom instead of just Anakin?

    is a very legitimate point.

    the Jedi council chose to keep a jedi’s mother in slavery instead of reuniting their family, freedom which would have come at a truly insignificant cost to the council.




  • when people ask me how Trump won, I explain that Americans care so little about women as a group that they’re letting them die in front of hospitals rather than allowing them to have health care.

    “allowing” them.

    so the party hoping to elect a woman president is at an extreme disadvantage.

    I also think domestic and international election interference election interference plays a much more significant role in American elections than people think and in hindsight and future history textbooks, people will be shaking their heads, not just at the electoral college, but at direct election interference securing Republican victories.

    people don’t think election interference is important because we hear the word gerrymander or social media bias or “Russian troll farms” and since they’re omnipresent, they’re dismissed, although they have direct practical influence on campaigns and election processes.


  • I’ve learned many languages from many sources, and rosetta stone is the fastest and the most comprehensive.

    you can move at your own pace, they have audio, written and reading positive reinforcement, speaking exercises, it’s pretty fun overall, and extremely practical and encouraging.

    it is also by far the most premium experience, nothing else comes close.

    you can tell the devs and linguists put a lot of work into developing the course and it really shows when I compare it to any other app or program I’ve used.

    Spanish was one of the first languages I learned, and I used Rosetta stone for it and can testify that spanish in particular is fantastic, although I haven’t really come across a Rosetta stone course that isn’t highly effective.

    for when you’re walking around or you don’t have a lot of time to sit at a computer, pimsleur audio courses are the best runner-up

    they’re amazing for training your ear to acknowledge foreign languages and feel comfortable with unfamiliar cadences and speeds.

    either one will help you get used to the language, but you will learn more words and phrases quicker with Rosetta stone; it’s the best language program out there.
