I'm using Duo to get a start on Mandarin and it's pretty good.
French - still my best language. Can hold a conversation and confuse native speakers on why my accent is so good but my vocabulary is so lacking
Spanish - listening/reading 70% speaking 20% writing 40%
Japanese - I can watch native stuff with Japanese subtitles and get about 80% of it. I think my kanji level is about N3 ish
Mandarin - Duolingo unit 3
It really was the funniest day
...and you get a climate denialist back in charge of the White House and he rolls back whatever good things President Biden has done
What on earth could he be referring to here? Hasn't Biden been absolutely dog shit on climate change? Are there any actual tangible things he's done that are different than what Trump would have done?
This just unlocked a core memory from when I had a temp job in high school at a major banking Corp and for whatever reason had to take their course on mortgage lending stuff.
At one point the instructor asked which out of the things in the slide was discrimination: refusing to lend to someone based on their race, their gender, their income level, their religion. I answered all of them and was gently corrected. The right answer was of course that all except income level was discrimination because poor people are not a legally protected class.
They would eat that shit up are you kidding me?

I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you, so let's just start with what we have
It's like one big motte and bailey argument
