This is the natural progression of symbolic languages, just like how the ox hieroglyph slowly transformed into an ‘a’, so too will emoji’s evolve into more abstract symbolism representing broader concepts.
[Sentence 1]. [She/he/they] died ten years ago.
I’m doing nothing and I feel bad about it, but I don’t know what to do.
It sounds like what he wants to do is create an investment product for people with savings. So instead of having it on your bank account you give it to the EU / member government to invest. The idea is then that it is wisely invested and thus creates profit that can be payed back as interest. So not that radical. The fact that they resort to this of course is another indication that the sanctions are backfiring immensely, but to me it doesn’t sound like the apocalypse.
Edit: although the fact that he keeps rambling on about AI makes me think a lot of Western European upper middle class families will loose some of their savings after the money disappears in some kind of AI Blockchain scheme. Or more realistically they get their savings + interest but governments need to cut healthcare spending to cover it.

In addition to the reasons stated above, it’s also not ideal from a purely utilitarian point of view. Duolingo is very good at making you feel like you are learning a language, and gamifying that experience. If you watch people with 4 year streaks actually speak their target language it’s worryingly bad (in my experience). You would have gotten much further with other approaches.
My personal recommendation from learning French is to use Clozemaster for vocabulary and then as quickly as possible switch to emersion. Find simple books or tv shows that you can just about follow and increase complexity with skill.
Everyone learns languages in a different way so most importantly find something that works for you of course. But from learning German and French this was most effective for me.
ps: Yes I’m learning all the boring eurocentric languages but coming from The Netherlands they are simply the most useful for me.

Okay GUYS, so I just found out that ONE of the JUDGES is actually a RUSSIAN. We should all call our local representative and TELL them that the ICJ should be IMPEACHED!
Literally the only positive thing in the world is that Biden is actively suffering. Doesn’t compensate for the rest. But at least it’s something.
