The fact that in some instances the legal system does work according to the invocation of a magic phrase makes it so much harder to deal with the delusions of sovcits. The right to remain silent should be just that. You don’t have to say “I’m invoking my right to free speech” every time before opening your mouth for it to count.
I can imagine what the author might mean by those things, but the key word there is imagine.
Didn’t think I’d ever see an article that should have been a video instead of the other way around!

Unless this is happening again, this story is from 2019. Still bad, just not recent
TIL two people can’t do the same thing.
Oh, did this start January 20th? That’s probably news to Gazans.
I omit the olives and use a 1:1 onion:pepper ratio, but it’s basically like this one
This recipe probably has a fine amount of veg as written, I just always think it needs more than it does and I don’t measure shit when I’m making sauce 👍
Thank you for the Pride well wishes to me specifically ☺️ My mediocre pasta dish is spaghetti with too many vegetables in the sauce
Sunscreen is a sensory nightmare for me, so I mostly rely on UPF clothing (UPF = SPF but for clothes). It’s way better than just getting burnt!
Without sunscreen and with my skin type, it’s fine for 15 minutes according to Wolfram Alpha! 🫠
Edit: oh lol I didn’t realize it included temps on the left hand side, that’s in F rather than C.
This is just for the English speaker learning Spanish Duolingo course, which I’m told is one of the best ones, so it may not apply to other courses. But IMO it was easier to pick up the majority of the beginner vocabulary in Duolingo (they’ve got the drill aspect of language learning down pat) and then spread out to other sources. I especially needed outside help with grammar because (at least when I was doing the early parts) Duolingo didn’t explain grammar very much, so there was a bit of ramming my head against a brick wall.
How long an article takes me to read depends on how many colloquial phrases it has that Duolingo hasn’t introduced me to, if uncommon words or jargon are used, etc. The dictionary app I use is pretty good and includes slang, so when I do run into unknowns it only takes a few seconds to look it up. But overall I’d say I read maybe 1/2 to 2/3 the speed I read English, depending on all the above factors. It does fatigue me a lot faster than reading English, but I think that’s a normal thing for second languages you’re still learning.
Edit: oh oops I misunderstood your last question, it took me maybe a year to start on news articles and maybe another 6 months to get comfortable with them. Totally YMMV depending on how much and how seriously you study, this wasn’t anything like full time study for me.
If I could hold down a button to clean my shower you bet your ass I would.
The lack of a sparkle and a ding when you finish cleaning something is a major mark against real life cleaning, as well.
