You win the interwebs today. ❤️

Ah, the propaedeutic effect? I think that Esperanto shows the “guts” of the grammar faster than other languages do, and that helps learning languages with similar features.

Yep, that’s what they say.

Whoa! I’m having a tough enough time just learning Esperanto, which is supposed to be easy. But bruh, you are a whole other level. Awesome!

Oy, those are tough ones for us English speakers.

Funny you mentioned the Hunger Games. I never read them until I took a job at a middle school last year. Every single classroom had rows of them on the bookshelves. So I grabbed a few. They are really good books! I get the hype now!

Thanks for that link. I’ll check it out!

Yeah, I am a great lover of e-books, and in fact have been on the e-book train since pda’s. I even had a rocket book. Long before kindle or anything.

But a lot of the strange crap I read isn’t in ebook format. But after I fill my shelves, I’ll probably be done with paper books. I like the look of a good study.

My house is paid off, so I’m not going anywhere. This is my forever home. And if by some chance I became sick or something and had to move, then books would be the least of my problems.

But e-books are def my main reading and in fact, a source of income for me since I write them.

That’s awesome. One a week! I need to catch up!

Not considering audio books in the statistic is a little weird and comes off as attempted gatekeeping

Nah, not meaning it to look like that. I just like picturing people sitting reading. I listen to audiobooks myself. But I like reading the words. So it was just my personal preference for the post, not a judgement on audiobooks.

Love that!

Ok, thank you. I’m new to the world of buying used phones. Usually I just get online through my phone plan provider, so this should be an adventure. Thanks!!

This sounds like my life; every single day. Good on ya, mate!

If I didn’t have children and a gf, I’d go dumb phone all the way.

I’m thinking of getting on board with this. Is there a Pixel phone you recommend?

It’s even more toxic than it used to be. I was just on there today. Now I now why I don’t go there anymore! lol

Saluton!

Not expensive or illegal where I live. Stay strong, brother.

Agreed!

I have done more traveling, but not out of the country. I have no desire to leave the country. We have plenty of beautiful things here in the US. But I live in such a beautiful state, I have the best views just outside my windows.

Still get the essentials done, but not on society’s schedule.

One of the main reasons I retired early. I actually liked my jobs, I just hate being on anyone else’s schedule. It seems so petty, but I gave up a lot of money just to be on my own schedule. lol
