Lmao, are you the person from that blahaj thread who said they were "toying" with the idea of coming here to own us with a picture from 1989?
Have you watched the video?

Maybe later, my oldest is still in early elementary.
There IS a place that will set up classes after school around here if requested by a school, considering going to a school board meeting to ask about it.
There are Spanish speaking people in my town of course, not sure about my neighborhood specifically but it's America- I don't know almost any of my neighbors, everything is so atomized.
A shop where people speak your target language also sounds like a place to practice a language you already know at least a little, I'd think? It doesn't seem like an effective substitute for daily classroom practice.
What is a language buddy? Is that like, someone who speaks your target language natively and wants to learn your native language? If so that does sound really helpful but I'm not sure how you'd find such a person. A specialized website maybe?
I wonder why the responses vary from user to user, I asked it to describe Hexbear and it specifically knew that our user base came from the banned CTH subreddit and didn't make up "hexes" which, tbh, I do kind of like
EDIT: I want to know if it knows about our struggle sessions
EDIT: I watched the logic chain thing and it was guessing that stuff like "tankies" vs anarchist and Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, class reductionism and our "initial split from Lemmy" may have led to conflicts but then all of that was abruptly deleted and it told me the question was beyond current scope. So it doesn't know exactly what we fight about, and also I guess something that it guessed that I hadn't gotten to was something it's not meant to discuss.
Merriam-Webster says further is fine in basically any situation you could use farther, and farther is for physical distance only.
I feel like people around here mostly use further so it's not really being "misused?" Never heard someone talking about farthering their goals, sounds very unnatural to my ear.
You'll make me use an oxford comma when you snatch my phone from my hands and type it yourself; on the other hand, I enjoy abusing semicolons.
I remember in highschool when I foolishly signed up for French instead of Spanish, a language with actual practical use-cases in America which could have given me access to the cultural products of 90% of the countries on the side of the planet I live on*, I distinctly remember being relieved when the "listen to a native speaker" would cut to someone in West Africa instead of some Parisian fuck because West African speakers actually enunciated their words, while the Fr*nch would muddle 3 syllables into one that didn't even have a distinctive consonant sound. Terrible accent, impossible for my 15 year old ears to understand.
*Being on Xiaohongshu and seeing how effective mandatory English classes were at teaching the people of China English at a conversational level, I am now a "12 years of mandatory Spanish education" guy. Been looking for after school classes in my area for my kid but unfortunately it's all private tutoring or companies that will set up classes for a school who has decided to do so. Wish there was more demand for it.

Cops were called because this piece of shit (29) pushed his wife (18, presumably the mother of his month old daughter) into a wall. When they arrived they tried to get him to come outside and he did but when they tried to arrest him he pulled out a gun, shot a deputy in the shoulder and retreated into the house his infant was alone in, where he got another gun and shot the dog before being killed himself.
Pedophile wifebeater is in hell where he belongs.
