@Oreore173 @PetarJovovic3 @inceptstellar Yes for you specifically, but for everyone on average it won't be the case. The 5 languages you find easier won't be easier for someone from Russia/Brazil/China. But you'll still have an easier time learning English than the languages they might find easy

@PetarJovovic3 @inceptstellar @bertil474 I can think of at least 5 languages that are easier to learn for me than english

of course an american would say this LOL

@Hizmo90 @advilrio If you only speak English then surely you wouldn't know anything about actually learning it? They're right, it is easier than most other languages because of how widespread it is

@advilrio As someone who only speaks English this is such a rubbish take from this person, English is the stupidest language where none of the rules make sense and anyone who learns it as a second language is amazing imo

if you only know one language and it's english you should be addicted to shut the fuck up

@A_ki_Rin_ @oubagaku But I’m not claiming there is an easy language. I’m saying for most people on earth, English is the easiest. If we had to pick one language that would be the easiest on average, it would be English. This is because of how widespread it is already. It’s the most spoken language

@bertil474 @oubagaku Because there is not 'easy' language, there are more accesible languages than others, but every language has its own difficulties. For English, it could be: phrasal verbs, modal verbs, irregular verbs, pronunciation (connected speech, rythmic stressed pattern, +

if you know 2 languages, your native language and English, you didn't really learn another language. given how prominent it is, it's more like learning 0.5 languages. on the other hand, a English native speaker learning another language is like learning 1.5 languages

@fefisungs @inceptstellar Exposure doesn't equal success, but it helps a lot. Your parents would probably struggle just as much (if not more) if they moved to China, Serbia or Turkey. I'm not trying to say English is "easy" to learn. Just that for most people it is the easiest.

@bertil474 @inceptstellar just living in the states didn’t automatically make it easier for them to learn english despite it being the language spoken at school and in public. hell i’ve worked with elementary students who took an entire school year to learn english, exposure ≠ success

@inceptstellar @PetarJovovic3 What? I think it's pretty obvious I'm including non-native speakers here

@bertil474 @PetarJovovic3 Factually untrue: English is the 3rd most spoken language worldwide after Spanish and Chinese It's not hard if you put minimal effort in and have access to the internet like you just said

@A_ki_Rin_ @oubagaku Why is it not easier? How can it possibly not be easier to learn English when it is (1) the most spoken language and (2) THE international language. Imo you're understating it by calling it "a lingua franca".

@oubagaku Tell me you don't know nothing about linguistics and multilingualism without telling me you don't know nothing about linguistics and multilingualism: English as a lingua franca is not 'easier' nor does it function as two different codes.

@fefisungs @inceptstellar It is definitely not as impressive considering the amount of media made in English that's widely available compared to other languages. English is THE international language

@inceptstellar fork found in kitchen omg it’s not the fault of non-native english speakers that the world insists on english as a common language. doesn’t make becoming fluent in english as a second language any less difficult or impressive, english is not a fucking easy language to learn 😭

@inceptstellar @PetarJovovic3 Because most of the internet is in english. Most people aren't from an area where English is spoken, yet English has the most speakers of any language. I'm not sure where you're from but it is MUCH easier learning English as a European than the other way around

@PetarJovovic3 But why? Not everyone is from an area where English is widely spoken. Chinese and Spanish have more native speakers than English on a global scale.

@autumnzeh @blobydine @powcampsurvivor I think she did it once in an outro, so not a real lyric. And also only one time

@bertil474 @blobydine @powcampsurvivor Doesn’t she call herself a “Niña” in a song

i really dont get sabrina carpenters thing. the aesthetic is like shes a sexy cartoon mouse who acts like a prostitute and also a baby. all of the songs are about how she needs to get stuffed by some oaf and they all sound like say so by doja cat but 70% worse

@RevenantChouan @transmissionnet @Andr3jH Did you get your feelings hurt or something? Why are you mad?

@transmissionnet @Andr3jH Do you know what an incel is retard

Imagine sitting across Socrates and telling him you know everything. He would walk out on you too.

@_stormed @chrisblammo123 @himehowlett @AWAKE_AT_354_AM Why? Why shouldn't you post it on twitter?

@chrisblammo123 @himehowlett @AWAKE_AT_354_AM diagnosed with OCD as a child and yes to everything except for the last one, I had fears of a loved one or myself being killed. I resonate with what you’re saying, but there’s really some things you should talk to someone you trust about it, not twitter.

fake ass "neurospicy 🤪🤪 intrusive thoughts won so i dyed my hair" when real mental illness come at them

@blobydine @powcampsurvivor A childish way how?

@powcampsurvivor People keep calling her "female gaze" or whatever when she's pretty much a pinup and only ever talks about heterosexual sex but like in a childish way. The music is terrible too!

@angelwitablunt @psychonicoleam @magikwand Boundaries? I thought most people would be against this. Talking about how another person is fine? Would you really be okay with your partner doing that randomly?

@psychonicoleam @magikwand And you are completly valid girl to feel that way which is why communication ab what respect means within a couple is so important! My whole point was you can not be mad at someone if you haven’t talked about boundaries. Some see it as not a problem or anything serious

am i tweaking or is this not crazy

@vali__vlr @witmaxxer @mimsimeow No one tried claiming it isn’t normal. But how is it not insecurity? Why else would it be a problem?

@witmaxxer @mimsimeow this is in no way insecurity. do you see your parents do this or anyone older than you? its just not normal

okay but after this why did u keep hanging out with him. u have a boyfriend. this person wasnt respecting ur boundaries and u still chose to be close and hangout 8hrs a day? dont get me wrong this guy is a weirdo but i just dont understand why even talk to him in the first place

@sSmonke_ @tweez223 Console thing I think

@tweez223 Is this an NA thing. Not once I’ve seen anyone do anything other than this exact setup

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT

@SenValeTV @RealSpruzzy From which side 😭 is close to the window right or left?

@RealSpruzzy War against people that put the rotate on the right. As in make it on the left side or we got PROBLEMS lmfao

War against people that put the rotate on the right

@DeanTTraining @gioteamr @ethan_koopman It’s not obvious. If your goal is to inform people who don’t know much about this stuff, it’s important to be clear. “Eat as many carbs as you can” means just what it says. How is someone who’s new to this know what you mean?

@gioteamr @ethan_koopman No, it’s not misleading in the slightest “As many carbs as you possibly can” Meaning as many as you can within the confines of your calories The calories govern the absolute amount It obviously doesn’t mean as many carbs as you can possibly ingest lol

*clears throat* You should be eating AS MANY CARBS AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN while trying to lose weight Only people that have no idea what they’re doing don’t understand this

@JamesFl70174920 @MadelaineLucyH Yes. Because he was an adult, and she was 18. So it's a bad match. That's the point

@MadelaineLucyH You just met a person who was a bad match for you unfortunately

Ok I’ve been this 18yo woman. Let me break it down for you. You’re 18 and you cry when someone says something mean about you in the school play. But he’s an adult, so he tells you to toughen up and quit being emotional. So you don’t feel safe processing your feelings like a normal teenager. You’re 18, and you want to hang out in the park with the other teenagers and gossip. But he’s an adult, so he tells you to grow up and stop being so immature. So you stop seeing your friends, and your socialisation with your peers becomes harder. You’re 18, and you’ve never had a big argument with a partner before, so you’re really confused and upset. But he’s an adult, so he tells you you’re childish, crazy, and he’s disappointed. So you feel ashamed of acting your age and wonder if there is something wrong with you. You’re 18, and you’re really worried about your exam results coming out next week. But he’s an adult, so he tells you that you should look into retaking classes if you are serious, or stop being so dramatic. So you suffer in silence and learn your partner won’t understand if you need comfort. Can age gaps work? Yes. But honey, if you’re a teen and reading this: date another teen.

@aasientuntija @honorablerawr @w_merchant75 @cosmicvnus You're not real. You're either the dumbest person alive, an actual predator yourself or you need to actually go outside and not sit on twitter rage baiting people all day. Like actually what is wrong with you. No sane person is okay with this relationship btw

@honorablerawr @w_merchant75 @cosmicvnus ”We should judge, name and shame” others because of our insecurities. You are just being a creep, no normal person does this and calls people you don’t know predators on the internet. What is wrong with you?

this is so sick guys

@RaisingTheJay @Tyrusssss @p1ckle03 @JonExists I just disagree. I think you get all the clues you need by playing the game. Ruined portals, advancement icons and descriptions. You just have to think for a bit but it’s pretty clear imo. Why do you feel like it’s not giving them information in an immersive way?

@bertil474 @Tyrusssss @p1ckle03 @JonExists While it's possible that still doesn't change how the game is designed around preexisting knowledge rather than intuitively giving information to the player in an immersive way.

Seeing this yt video of blind play through of beating minecraft in hardcore and the only knowledge they allowed themselves is the minecraft movie 😭
