No because that requires installing a rootkit on your machine as part of their anti-cheat system.

With the nice simulator mode so you can run the numbers and see how much you need to budget for well beforehand.

Also she actually had to do some work. Where's the fun in that?

Which is worse than useless since it renovated the impetus to do anything else.

It's like when you tell everyone your new years resolution and they all go "wow you're really courageous, well done on turning the new leaf". Your brain goes "ok, got my recompense for that, no need to put more effort in there" and bye bye resolution.

6 weeks paid holiday, compensation days for longer work week, protection from unfair dismissal, free health care, 3 months maternity/1 month paternity leave....

Not saying that there's nothing left to do, but over the last 100 years things have definitely gotten better.

The real risk is forgetting that these things were hard won and that if you give people a chance they can easily be lost again.

I read somewhere that people in Asia won't tilt on things like eye or hair colour being different immediately since their so used to black hair/brown eyes that they just filter it out and use other cues.

This also means that people who look identical to say a European are considered to look nothing alike.

Honestly, Fox have been putting distance between themselves and Trump for a little while.

They can see he's nuts and also that Team trump means risking jail time.

Add to the fact that the election is now a toss up, and being seen as not R enough for Trump is a lesser evil than getting dragged through the courts on treason charges.

Doesn't mean that they've changed their heart, just that the rats know when to abandon ship.

Because that worked out so well....

Less than 10 years after Sulla was dead the republic was run by bleeding Crassus and Pompey.

I'd agree, Duolingo is a tool not a silver bullet. That said it's a very useful tool if used well.
