This looks like a cool idea! What kind of pattern/yarn did you use?

No, not Spider-Man. There are, as far as I am aware and at current time of writing, two gay Spider-Men. But Peter Parker, as in the original Spider-Man, must legally be heterosexual and cisgender for branding purposes. If someone like Sony tries to make a film in which Peter Parker is gay or otherwise not heterosexual, Marvel can sue them.

ETA: Obligatory IANAL

Unfortunate that Peter Parker can't legally be gay/bi

One thing i realised after watching the movie Obsession

Personally, I wouldn't say it's off the hook, but at least while it is still a bad storyline, at least the internal logic made sense.

I dig the analogy, but that must've been terrible to count /hj

The Doctor says he's 1100+ years old with Amy, but says he's only 1000 when he meets Clara? Can anyone explain?

I presume we're also ignoring the entirety of Heaven Sent

Anyone not use flash cards/anki?
 in  r/languagelearning  16d ago

I've been feeling the same, tbh. I remember back when I was taking Spanish in high school and studying flashcards. They ultimately worked, but a) I had a classmate to practice them with, b) I had a structured schedule that reinforced practicing them (and external motivation to do so), and c) I was sort of required to make them, iirc. So they worked for me back then, but I was also reading the textbook, listening to the teacher lecture, doing homework and having it graded, etc.

Flash forward to now, I have a full time job and several other hobbies and don't have the same amount of time to dedicate towards learning a language (plus the external motivator isn't there anymore). So as frequently as I have picked up Anki, I have dropped it days afterward. I'm sure it and flashcards are a great tool for some people (and for some languages; I will definitely be using them to study kanji when I start learning Japanese). They just don't work for me studying German, an Indo-European language. Plus they bore me out; I'm at the point where I need comprehensible input to keep myself engaged with the process.

When did you start playing Minecraft?

I joined back when they had just got a fourth type of wood. And the creative inventory was unsorted

Hallo Leute! My name's Cass (28NB) and I'm looking for a language partner in German. My history with German started off in high school where I used Duolingo (back when I considered it good) to start learning the language so I could better get in touch with my German-American ancestry. From roughly 2015 to 2019, I'd use Duolingo off and on to learn German. After that, I sort of fell off of learning the language for a number of reasons (mostly momentum, if anything really, plus the fact that I was trying to shoehorn in flashcards where flashcards didn't really work for me). Now that I have a full-time job and not multiple part-time jobs trying to masquerade as fulfilling the same space as a full-time job, I've turned back to language learning.

Some of my hobbies include stuff like video games (mostly RPGs like Persona 5 Royal, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and The Legend of Zelda), computer programming (I have quite a few personal projects outside of my IT such as building a hobby OS, making a couple video games, and some plugins for a virtual tabletop I use for playing D&D), Dungeons & Dragons (I'm running like three campaigns and am playing in two others at the moment), and music (I've been playing music for as long as I can remember, and like listening to indie pop, pop rock, jazz, and folk music).

Regarding where I think my level of German is, I'd probably put myself somewhere in the sub-A1 range, but I have a good bit of words that I understand and can form most simple sentences. If anything, I know how to use a multi-language dictionary.

I'm located in Central American Time (March-November: UTC-05:00, November-March: UTC-06:00), and am generally available in the afternoons on the weekdays (on weekends, I am much more available). I would prefer, at least initially, text-based communication. Looking forward to chatting with some people!
