I speak a bit of Spain Spanish, but with an Andalusian / Canary Island accent and grammar. The biggest problem you’ll probably find is that exactly the same word can have different meanings in different parts of the world.

I also speak some French, poorly. No idea with what accent.

I personally would not hesitate to recommend the Michel Thomas language courses. I learned more in twelve hours then I did in three years at school.

TIL I’m a liar…

I’ve been online for almost thirty years and have never - knowingly - seen “dae” as an abbreviation.

Never, ever, under any circumstances, think that you’ve finally done everything that needs doing.

Mentally, yes. Financially, no.

I believe it’s Fr€nch - servers are European based. Beyond that I know nothing.

Humans be allowed in, on and across roads in many countries. Jay walking is the most insane non-crime I’ve ever heard of. I still don’t really believe it exists…

So, yeah, car centric cities are both terrible and insane - but not every city in the world is that way; thankfully.

It literally depends on your morals… it’s a question only you can answer.

I thought this was gonna be a deep philosophical question… but then read past the first sentence.

I’d suggest “good” nationalism is having a bit of pride and care for where you live, a knowledge of your history, feeling comfortable in your ethnicity (as opposed to race) and welcoming other folk with similar aspirations and trying to improve life for everyone in your area… but that’s just my opinion.

The loss of openness, the limiting of education and work opportunities, the rise of bad nationalism, the fracturing of European unity and community, the isolation of being stuck between the EU and the US, the inability to pop over to France for lunch or Germany for a football game, the loss of stature in an evolving world, the backwards steps to being more insular… I don’t know. All these things and more “may” come to pass.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

The real price the UK will pay for Brexit should not be measured (and will probably not be remembered) in economic terms.

It’s called an Honorary Knighthood - for non UK citizens.

We have the Houses (plural) of Parliament. The fully elected House of Commons and then the, uh, not really elected House of Lords.

You are not wrong… and that’s the problem. Even if there’s some (any) truth in whatever bile he vents I know he only says it because he’s a grifter and primarily sees it as a chance to unbankrupt himself.

“People” on 9gag think he’s a hero - along with the orange guy, that Canadian benzo junkie and that bald women hater and his brother. Why?

S Y-L is the only person on this planet that I will consciously deadname. Fuck him.

Thank you - good luck with the community.

Probably because one of those Afghan whores flashed a bit of wrist at some pious innocent man who was trying to go about his day.

/s - like you hadn’t guessed.

I’ve enjoyed my time talking with you and getting to understand how you see the world and, although I don’t agree with you, I’m glad to have had this exchange of opinions and will now reflect upon what I’ve learned.
