    So I asked him if he’d be willing to pay $10,000 to move up in line for a Covid-19 vaccination. He responded that he’d pay $100,000. His reasoning? He’d done well in the stock market this year and would be happy to both move up and help. He’d spent a career in uniform defending America against military threats. Defending Americans against a deadly disease didn’t seem much different. He could afford it and he’d do it.

    When I have a new idea and want to test it, I’ll often call a specific family member and run it by him. Paraphrasing John F. Kennedy from a very different context, I do this “not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” In many respects, especially politically, this family member and I couldn’t be more different. I’m well to the left, he self-describes as “to the right of Genghis Kahn.” For me, he is the very definition of a hard sell.

    Don't worry y'all. He's a leftist.


















  • Yea, I know exactly what you mean. Not being able to combine simple sentences after studying for a long time because the fucking word endings change constantly is super frustrating.

    I'm trying the mass immersion approach now (linked in the how to learn a language thread). They really destress the importance of speaking and language output. If you take in a lot of comprehensible input, combined with some grammar lessons every now and then, I think the speaking and sentence formation will come over time.


  • Nie ma problemu! Yea building my own sentences was intimidating at first because of all the grammatical cases. I don't know how you feel about studying grammar during language learning. But for me, learning some grammar was really helpful because I had a hard time trying to pick it up naturally. Check out the YT channel Polish With Ania. It was super helpful for me.
