    Depends. I’ve been trying to learn Spanish and I can pick up some phrases and reading is a little easier. Not great though. I’ve heard about problems with Duolingo not picking the right words for some phrases. It would still convey your idea but sound odd.

    The problem is recall and consistency. You need to remember, actually try to remember. Don’t get in the bad habit of guessing everything and not really understanding. The skinner box type app like these have a paid version that lets you make all the mistakes and keep going. This can help form bad habits if you aren’t trying to recall the information. You will just jump to the wrong answer because that’s the one you are used to picking. Write down notes after/during the classes. You get more out of it if you put more in it. It is a tool and not THE tool. Use other apps, website, tv shows, radio stations, or anything else. You have to practice.

    You’re right critical thinking is hard for people, but it’s still a con and they still fell for it.

    If you know the political process is filled with liars and your only options is someone that doesn’t want to make overblown statements that are clearly lies and someone that does lie (you know this because of his past lies) then you should have picked the person that lies the least.






  • There was an episode of BB that Vince wanted to make completely based on Weird Al’s Albuquerque song. They flew him out and had him tour the area and went over the script with him. Al ended up saying no because it was just too good and he felt people would tear their eyeballs out after seeing it.

    I’m not sure why but the phrase cosmic horrors beyond my comprehension never scared me. It kinda gave me a piece of mind, like I’m too dumb to understand how fucked I am. I’ll just stare in ignorant bliss. Like a deer staring at a headlight while the hunter blows its brains out. Not that bad of a way to go.
