I think that’s a great point. That seems to be what the other person who replied to me is saying. Immersion is #1, changing my relationship to language and the voice in my head, so to speak.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I’ve tried no less than 4 times to learn Spanish. High school, twice out of school, and then uni. It’s just not getting through. I’m a communications graduate, so it’s not like language isn’t one of my strong points… Just doesn’t seem to carry over to any other language.

I had one of those “LightScribe” burners. I think I only used it a couple of times because the media was much more expensive than standard CD-R and I didn’t care enough to get good at it. It was just a slow extra step when I’m trying to burn a quick cd before I head to the bus stop in the morning.

Funnily, burning the lightscribe cd was faster than the first mp3 player I had. My first mp3 player was a Creative something or other with 32mb of storage. Adding the ~15 songs you could fit on it took fucking donkey’s years.

For me, it isn’t that it doesn’t work, it works fine enough most of the time. It’s that it’s so heavy! My work PC is just an office special and it can chug with all the bloat from the office suite. Especially Outlook. God I hate Outlook.

I’m sure his family will really appreciate his “manliness” as he ages. I swear, I’ll never understand these people and that mindset.

If I had known I could make a living just telling blatant falsehoods in an angry way, my life might have turned out a lot differently.

I do enjoy being able to sleep at night, though. So maybe it all worked out for the best.

That would rob countless generations of the ability to piss on his grave.

I didn’t know I needed this. Thanks!

The censorship has gone mad on Reddit. I was a user there before the whole Digg migration, and it’s been such a wonderful ride. It had to end at some point, though.

I’m just at a point where it’s genuinely impossible to have a conversation there without having your comments removed, the thread locked, or downvoted to oblivion for not joining in to whatever the masses are yapping about.

Less of a town square and more of a mob of idiots surrounded by bots.
