Fluency in a language learning context is not the same as native speakers. The measure is can you pass a 4th grade grammar class in the given language.

My understanding is that you won't get fluent but it would give you up to a middle school level understanding, depending on the language. French and Spanish were more advanced than Mandarin or Welsh.

I don't think I've ever run into anyone else who has seen or remembers surf ninjas. What a great fever dream of a movie.

Yeah I knew that. But separately they would be good to mess up car exteriors I would think. Always good to have that psa though.

Chemicals react with different materials differently. I'm not a chemist but there are probably plenty of chemicals that would react with the stainless steel or paint of a tesla but not the rubber in a balloon. Bleach and ammonia off the top of my head would probably mess up the trim pretty good. Doesn't have to burn holes to do damage.

If you like them The Agonist is a good band in the same vein. Alissa White-Glutz fronted them until she left for arch enemy and was replaced by Vicky Psarakis

Not if it is leveraged to hell and back. Odds are that a bulk is collateral for buying a social media platform and a presidency along with how he uses it to float his other companies.

The man is in his 70s so no but someone with his commitment yes

I'm fully aware of who is pulling the strings. I'm just saying Vance cannot lead and that lack of leadership is the only benefit from a Vance presidency. Say what you want about trump but he does know how to get a frenzy going and use it to his advantage

From an idealogy standpoint you're right but from a practical legislative point Vance can't get anything done. He is wildly unpopular in Ohio, think Ted Cruz like. He was a money pick for Trump. He would not be able to lead the party and instead of it just being the house that can't function the whole government would be infighting and ineptitude. The power vacuum would most likely be a death sentence for the GOP agenda.

Is it really a new low? I meant he pretty much does the equivalent of this just about daily. It's pretty standard at this point.
