  • Multilingual people of Lemmy who learned a language (or multiple) as adults, how did you do it?

    Jump

  • I struggle with Scottish, but I think that's because they have a lot of slang mixed into the typical English words. If they took those out, I would hope I would get the rhythm. Japanese accents can sometimes be hard, but most of the time I have no issue. That might be a speed issue as well. I think exposure has a ton to do with it.

  • Trump's Continued Claims of Vandalism at Reflecting Pool Disputed by U.S. Attorney Memo

    Jump

  • President Donald Trump took an unannounced trip to the Lincoln Memorial to see the Reflecting Pool after he had it coated in a color he calls “American flag blue.” He did more than just see it — the president was driven across the new coating before he got out of his SUV to make a statement. The new blue coating will hide the pool's gray stone, a color Trump said was “never good.” The project cost nearly $2 million, he said.

  • How do you get better at communicating your thoughts in discussions?

    Jump

  • IRL I might just have an unorthodox, even ignorant, way of looking at things. Which often leads me to be in the minority opposition. So yeah, wouldn’t hurt to be a better communicator lol

    Or you might be smarter than them on that topic too. Imagine that first guy making a working machine that can read your mind for video games (I have articles that can explain that, but I can't search for them now). Maybe don't look at it as wrong vs right or ignorant vs knowledgeable, but look at it as a 2 way learning process.

  • How do you get better at communicating your thoughts in discussions?

    Jump

  • It also depends on whether it's real life or online. Online especially, it's harder to tell if they're discussing with you in good faith or they're trolling you (depending on the topic, of course). If it's not good faith, leave a clarifying comment and leave.

    Don't be afraid of getting it wrong or misunderstanding someone. That's exactly why there is a discussion. Just admit it, take the loss, and learn from it.

    This one is just a bad look, not corruption.

  • This is a classic of one of my posts, but I don't think political is the right word. Corrupt is more like it;

    Friendly reminder, 5 out of 9 SCOTUS seem to have taken bribes:

  • Capital One says it closed Trump Organization's accounts after anti-money laundering probe

    Jump

  • Capital One Financial (COF.N), hit back on Friday against a lawsuit over its decision to close ‌the Trump Organization's bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money laundering experts.

    The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns to U.S. President Donald Trump's family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss ​the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking — or denying services on religious or political grounds — ​the Trump Organization.

  • Democrats see a chance to flip a US House seat as abuse claims mount against Ohio Rep. Max Miller

    Jump

  • It's the same headline, I just took out the democrat part and clarified his name. Also, the media scrutiny part is hilarious and confirming what I'm saying about the AP. Last comment.

    Also, it’s not the abuse claims that are mounting… it’s the focus on them. The original headline is accurate, and yours isn’t.
