Since the birth of my son, about seven weeks ago, I have had difficulties on finding the time and energy. I haven’t entirely stopped listening podcasts on my languages but meeting people to speak with and especially reading has suffered.

It’s not a crisis really but this time doesn’t lend it self for language studies as good as the time before fatherhood.

If I may ask, what made you interested to learn latin?

Thats assuming that the current states are able to keep their voting rights.

While I might make similar choices, it still sound like a horror story. My immortal soul stuck eternally among the empty make-believe-people of GTA or the solitary existence of Minecraft?

I might still prefer the peace of non-existance.

I watched similar thing happen in my own country. It was just one decision (so far) and made with a very comfortable parlamentary majority. The problem was that it was supposed to be unconstitutional according to wast majority of constitutional experts. That turned out to be absolutely no problem for the parlament and the administration.

It’s not even that I am too much against what they decided, but it did change my views on the nature of law. Any law or constitution is just a paper if it isnt enforced and will carry no weight, when it is simply ignored.

It feels strange seeing this kind of talk in Lemmy and Reddit, while the mainstream media of my country (not-usa) speaks surprizingly little about it. It’s not that I believe them to be MAGA-minded, maybe they are just not sure what to make of it. This just makes me wonder how real it is, when I don’t see anyone “reputable” speaking of it.

Amazing! I’m happy for you. Life isn’t often great, but if you can be happy for your gf and seeing Sonic then it could be worse.

“Betrayal” might be a wrong word for it, but I find this disappointing because the current events are the reason I have tried using Proton instead of Gmail. A tweet wont ruin the functionality of Proton, but it goes against my personal rationale for making the switch.

I have personally stopped worrying about it. I check genders often and try to learn it as a part of the word. I hope that through input and usage these things start to stick, but I believe that I am going to do mistakes for a long time. Likely forever.
