Have you tried taking it to see if it's been chipped?

Well, we already knew he was a spousal rapist.

Hell, up until like 1993 it wasn't even necessarily illegal in the US.

and I always tell that story to students so they understand it is ok to make mistakes and to try to see the humor in the situation.

In English, on a warm day, we might say: "I am hot."

Now, as an English speaker, might might translate that to German word-for-word as: "Ich bin heiß".

And Germans will laugh at you, if they don't just think you're being extremely forward.

In German, on a warm day, you might say: "Mir ist heiß". In English, that would mean, "To me, it is hot."

"Ich bin heiß" means "I am horny".


Very common, and often embarrassing, mistake for English speakers to make.

Men are more visual.

This argument is a little silly because, outside of braille, text is also a visual medium.

I know this is terrible, OP, but... Survival of the Fittest.

A preference for AI girlfriends will lead to people willfully removing themselves from the genepool. Eventually, either robots will breed and be indistinguishable from humans, or humans will evolve to not be interested in AI romance.

Oh boy, I am not ready to ever start learning the proper way to address people in Vietnamese. Just look at this chart for family.

Or this one for strangers.

I've been using Duolingo and, oh boy, the app does not expect you to take more than 5 minutes per lesson. I take around half an hour for one lesson, writing down every sentence it gives me at least 3 times in order to pound in the tonal markers per word.

It pretty much always congratulates me for spending at least 20 minutes in one lesson.

When we were kids, my nephew and I used to jokingly say it was DARE: To Teach Kids To Make Drugs.

They told us about the drug, what items were needed to make it, what kind of smells it would make if it were being done right, how far away you should be able to smell it from, good places to hide a meth lab, etc.

It was honestly the strangest fucking thing.

They believe in state's rights.

As in, they believe in the State's rights more than Individual rights.

Calm down, Grandpa. That meme is 15 years old. You're going to break a hip.

You're welcome.

Creating a joke requires an emotional reaction and the machine, by its very nature, is incapable of emotions.
