@ContraPoints Clozemaster is great. But honestly your best shot is looking for online language schools in other countries. Currently taking intensive German classes with the Österreich Institute via Poland for about $500 per class. Way better than any app and MUCH fast progress
@KelseyTuoc Whenever homeschooling comes up, I feel like we politely ignore that the median homeschooler is some flavor of Christian Nationalist, straight up Nazi, or crunchy granola teacher.
It's most similar to child marriage, basically a loophole for fringe groups to isolate children
@mattyglesias Tbh this is more to do with the larger return of educated white middle class people to cities in the medium term.
This population is the rock of every progressive block in Europe and now they are significant enough in the US to effect elections
@marcportermagee Wish we would measure public urban test-in schools as well. Catholic schools are quite good, but the data is likely skewed by the fact they can kick people out easier and preselect for a student base with strong indicators for high performance (2 parent households/higher income)
@UkrainianAna The equivalent to romantacy for men isn't porn. It's anime. Cheezey romance with convoluted plotlines content is slopped out to teenage boys on a quarterly basis
@CartoonsHateHer Pissing women off.
Never seen her hold down a friendship with another woman for more than a month or two.
She will say something that others read as uncouth, or she will be a little too blunt and before she knows it, the girls will sit her down for 'a talk'
@CartoonsHateHer Oh my god. This describes one of my friends to a T. She is hot, funny as fuck, and deeply socially maladjusted bc she spent her late teens and early 20s in lockdown/sheltering due to the war in Ukraine.
She's always wanted a women friend group but has this special talent for...
@DE_Gifford@metrotimes@GovWhitmer The best way to permanently fix Michigan's roads would be to simply have few of them, but no one is ready for that conversation
@r3alLeonid@MrnllMtt Bro, I meet civil engineers from italy in POLAND making 500€ a month more, pay less tax, and have a lower cost of living.
I don't think some Italians realize how bad it's gotten
@lilbabygandhi It's bc most Americans see the beauty in their own cities and believe themselves to be the exception, and they are kind of right.
Even a place like Toledo OH has a world class zoo, good Hungarian food, and one of the best glass art museums in the world
@llwtydeer There is a chain in Michigan called Biggy that leans into overly sweet coffee. They also put like 4 shots of espresso in there lol
A heavy cream wet dream actively stressing your heart. It's like drinking a liquified chocolate bar
@_Omegon_ Americans definitely don't drink as much as Germans per liter (and drinking culture is generally worse) but I gotta say: there is a unique pleasure to grabbing a 30 case of 350ml light beer and working your way through it with the bros
America also has better craft beer
@WWFerguson2 The only reason the AA to Traverse City proposal makes sense is bc Michigan already owns the line. Just need to throw up a few amshacks and fix portions of the rail and we are good to go.
@avidseries This man, during peak woke, wrote an article to his maximumly left audience about how being a FATHER led him to embrace being a man and that the left should be chiller about gender rolls only for him to get dog piled on by CONSERVATIVES
There is no saving y'all I swear
@avidseries I read the article. The author is a self flagellating man who viewed masculinity as inherently bad. The article ends with him getting over it and fostering his son's love for tractors.
Idk what you people want. This is literally a story about a man embracing masculinity
