My condolences.

Becoming a billionaire is simple, just follow these two easy steps:

1) Get a job that pays one million per month.

2) Work for one thousand months.

Alternatively, if currency is not the issue here, you can take about 50 thousand US dollars and exchange that for just slightly more than 1 billion Laotian kip (or any other currency with funny exchange rates).

That's awesome. I wish you could lose it and then get it back again.

I kinda agree with you, but I would like to point out that acquiring a native language as a child is not the same thing as trying to learn a language later on in life. A child's ability to learn is much greater. Read: Child language acquisition.

Also, I would like to add that communicating in a language is a key step in learning it. You can consume as much content as you can, but unless you actually practice, there won't be much progress. This is where I always fail. I don't like talking to people.

What about communicating online? Even just via text? I feel like my English has improved tremendously after just chatting with people online on various forums and message boards.

I guess that helps too. You can grab a bunch of words off Reddit and throw them at people in real life to make them doubt their own proficiency in English.

Verbal communication is still the best way to improve spoken language I think.

There were some posts on Reddit promoting Mainchan too.

Never experienced this type of thing. I mostly use the mobile app on Android, which I find glitching out from time to time. Sometimes scroll stops working or audio stops playing for whatever reason. I had other glitches too, but I don't remember details.

The 3-minute-cooking-time spaghetti. The less time I spend cooking, the more time I'll have to aimlessly scroll youtube.

Life is about making compromises. I knew I had to cut off my social life back when I decided to pursue the career of a full-time youtube addict. Unfortunately, I also have less time to cook anything now.

Sometimes I also cook sausages, rice or fry eggs.

That's sad to hear.

I'm in my second year right now. Honestly, I was doing kinda good in my first year, but then the current semester kinda destroyed me. Even though I was doing ok, I was always pushing myself to do better. Now that the courses got much harder, I started pushing myself even more while also trying to escape reality by aimless youtube scrolling. Eventually my mental health declined and I got left burnt out. That happened about three weeks ago. Still trying to recover somehow.

I was in a similar situation back in highschool. I failed a year because I was unmotivated to study. Literally went from top of the class to being put on "probation".

The self hatred is real and it just makes everything worse. I hope you can find your place in life where you won't have to hate yourself. I hope we all can.

Mir Publishers was a major publishing house in the Soviet Union which continues to exist in modern Russian Federation.

It still exists. I think you misread the following part.

In 2008, the company faced a bankruptcy case. The case was closed by the Moscow Arbitral Court on June 2, 2009 because the publishing house had paid completely the debt to the creditors.

On a side note, even the wikipedia article has links to these ebooks.

First of all, I would never hack a google account. I would never even think about hacking a google account. That's just plain immoral and wicked behaviour. I would never gain possession of another person's google account for the purposes of gaining control of their mobile devices and deleting all their data. Such an action could cause immense amounts of distress to the victim of my attack. If it so happens that I somehow accidentally hack into someone's google account and remotely factory reset their phone, I would immediately log out of the account, write an email to the victim apologizing and explaining my situation and then hand myself in to law enforcement.

Weirdly charming music. The vibe I get from this song kinda reminds me of "at the drive in". Probably due to the weirdness.

Yeah, in the future maybe. Not really planning to move, but just wanna see if living elsewhere would be better.

I did Cambridge A level English in the last year of highschool. We had to do weird stuff like analyze a transcript of a two year old child talking to their parent. We also had to reconcile the analysis with some scientific theory. We did analysis of social media conversations as part of language change. Had to use linguistic theories to explain how we went from "How dost thou, sweet lord?" to "ay yo wassup XD".

Shit wasn't easy, but looking back it was kinda fun because it was all scientific and stuff.

That was just during A level though. Before that it was your typical "write an essay about flowers" type of ESL bullshit that I dreaded more than having to wake up in the morning.

Yeah. Can't remember how I learnt that. Probably had trouble with some CD player malfunctioning.
