  • I had a couple friends who were raised to only speak English at home because their parents wanted them to be fluent and native sounding. One of them, the parents only ever learned basic English so as a concequence it is difficult to communicate any complexity. And functionally no communication with extended family.

    That’s a very old fashioned viewpoint and now we know extra languages dont ultimately prevent acquisition, although it can slow thing down a bit at first for an individual language.

    I think knowing other languages at any level is only a good thing and kids can learn so much easier.

    it is the perfect roommate of the cell.

    idk how to use the word more

    you can use it to debunk “race science” by way of “mitochondrial eve” but I almost never get to pull that one out.










  • Tone of article suggests this is some sort of friendly gift but friends don’t give friends pagers. Employers give workers pagers. How did Donald Trump accept a gift that seems to symbolize he’s on call? Why hasn’t he tweeted a picture of it dropped in a toilet or something?

    And are we thinking either the gold pager or the real pager is a bomb and/or listening device? so weird
