@ThomasSilken Duolingo isn't very good. For learning vocabulary, anki decks are great. Italki is a good platform for conversational lessons. Language Reactor for Netflix and YouTube is a great way to learn. Tandem is good for finding language exchange buddies.

what is the best way to learn German(or whatever your language of choice is)? straight into a class/lessons or ease in with Duo etc?

@amhrannua My god I love being reminded of this. Truly one of the funniest real life things to ever happen.

O'Toole: 'what a mystery we are the Irish! We're an enigma, wrapped up in a puzzle" Me, lowly researcher: 'have you tried a postcolonial political economy lens? I find it really sharpens the focus, especially the class relatio...." O'Toole: "AN ENIGMA! WRAPPED UP IN A PUZZLE!

@Thatyellowfever Where are these people who are claiming the Han population is indigenous? I don't like the politics of many pro-independence groups here either. But I don't say Taiwan is China just because I'm anti-capitalist. Your argument hinges on ethno-nationalism

@Thatyellowfever I don't think you're unaware of the reasons why independence hasn't been declared by pro-independence governments and I think you know the ROC claim in the constitution is a remnant of KMT dictatorship. Why shouldn't the principle of self determination apply to Taiwan?

Naming your cram school after the Gini coefficient is a little too on the nose

@AnMailleach @TheSundayIndo First they came for the refugees. And I did not speak out because of the horseshoe theory.

We, the sophisticated and civilised West, will always endeavour to provide the perfect amount of killing tools to ensure a war continues indefinitely. Anything more or anything less would be grotesque.

@amhrannua I'll bounce back. Balloon discourse has just removed some will to live

@shawnmicheal_16 He's not worth learning about

@Ciarasho who is this twat

Neil, there is a logic flaw in your little aphorism that seems quite telling. Since you and I are part of the Universe, then we would also be indifferent and uncaring. Perhaps you forgot, Neil, that we are not superior to the Universe but merely a fraction of it. Nice day, indeed

@anbioraineach Sounded like science fiction when I was getting up to speed with it only a few years ago! That tweet gave me the same heart sinking feeling you get when the victim in a horror movie thinks they've escaped but you know by the camera angle that someone else is in the house

@HMcEvansoneya No idea what the team's anti-imperialism track record is like but I don't think it matters. The point of the thread still stands. The team isn't the state and maybe the flag waving is a hollow bandwagon but isn't it always. I can't see European players being held so accountable

@ThomasSilken I'm going to start responding with a history of the song and talking about World War 1 as a little compensation for my troubles

@Ciarasho I kept count in NL and I think was on 34 times of hearing Its A Long Way after saying where I'm from

@three_litre Fair point

@Ciarasho Conversation ran almost the exact same recently for me. I was just thinking at least it's known, imagine being from Leitrim or something ?

Unrelated to any legal matters. That's just how people respond to him as a person.
