To tell you the truth, I don't rightly know. I'm in a spot right now where I've been learning Russian for about 2 months. I tried Busuu in 2016 to learn some basic German and Italian and really liked the approach, so I went back and it's roughly the same (with some noticeable negative changes to user feedback). I learned quite a bit in a short period of time and I like how it explains things (though it could be better/more comprehensive).
However, now I'm in the position where the lessons are too long so I feel pulled more towards Duolingo due to its short lessons and gamification, but Duolingo's approach doesn't help me learn very well. I thought paying for Busuu premium would help, so I did that and got an 80% off discount for the new year, but it barely adds anything of value. I ended up refunding the purchase since they have a 14-day money back guarantee.
Things have stalled for me because I really dislike using Anki. I have a few different courses downloaded that each include a workbook and a ton of audio clips, but it's a lot harder for me to sit down and do that kind of thing (I have ADHD). I really need to mix things up a bit, so I think I'm going to pull the trigger on listening to podcasts or maybe trying some YouTube lessons.
At least a few years. I switched to Linux a year ago and that was a huge consideration for me when choosing Debian over Ubuntu.
Notice how I didn't say murder, I said killed. That can easily happen in detention facilities due to neglect and lack of medical care, especially as it gets crammed full of too many people. I'm not saying there's no possibility that there will be murders, but I definitively did not say murder in my last comment because no, it is not my belief that Trump is planning to exterminate migrants at this current point in time. The labour and torture is probably imminent though, Guantanamo is pretty famous for it.
The unwritten implication is that they will be used for slave labour, tortured, and/or killed. It really depends on how fascist and violent Trump wants it to get. Guantanamo Bay is not outfitted for mass detention, so you connect the dots.
It may not have initially been chosen for its meaning, but on their website they do say this:
What Does "Kagi" Mean? The word "kagi" means "key" in Japanese.
You pronounce kagi in Japanese as ka-gi with a hard G. (Source: Wiktionary)
If it's a Japanese romanization (which it looks like, but idk for sure), it's almost certainly a hard G as in gator.
So much for "never again," eh? More like "whenever we feel like it" if trends in global hegemony are any indication.
I used to, when I had fun neighbours my age that I made through an online Buy Nothing group. If you just start indulging in social groups related to your interests, you're bound to meet people. It's up to you if you want to socialize more with those people.
Unfortunately, no one will force you to hang out with them (except red flag weirdos), so a lot of the effort needs to come from you. If you get flaked on/deprioritized/ignored/ghosted more than once or twice, that's the cue to move on and try someone else so you don't get your hopes up.
People not eating vegetables or not drinking an optimal amount of water doesn't kill them. You know what kills people? Racialized violence that's normalized by society.
He's a fan of China, just not right now. A trade war is more important to him. Not to mention Chinese AI just tanked the DOW a short while ago to the point that there's a bill trying to ban downloading DeepSeek R1.
