I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I'm sad that trans people won't be able to have identification that matches who they are. On the other hand, I don't trust Texas with a database of people who requested a chance, essentially giving them a database of trans people

Sounds like you're not ready for this stage yet. I thought I could do that with German and failed horribly. I recommend that you get some vocabulary or phrase books. Those are split into sections and you can add those to your list of vocab words. Learn introductions , food, body parts, household items, colors, numbers, etc. What do you often do? Office work? Learn the words for document, report, stapler, etc. Do you travel a lot? Learn airport, train, ticket, etc. Have you heard of Anki? Use it to fully memorize words. Don't just use it for base verbs. Also include conjugations, honorifics, and small sentences. I don't know much about the specifics of the Korean language but I know that it's a difficult language and it'll take some time until you can read native text. When you do, you should start out with music. Songs tend to be repetitive and use the same words so you will start noticing words more and more. Add these words to your vocab. You can repeat this process more and more until you get into websites and TV shows and movies. It will take time and you'll feel discouraged but every language uses more words than others and by learning from these books, you should build up a solid base to the point where you're not clicking on every single word

That's because it's not the correct spelling. It should be "façade" but English keyboards lack the correct glyph. This doesn't tell you how to pronounce it but it at least gives you a hint that you can't use English rules and that you should investigate it further

  • Celebrated my birthday with my family and had a great time with everyone
  • I've been trying to program a web version of Phase 10 and I've made a ton of progress. I'm close to finishing it
  • Getting really close to launching an iOS app for my job

Overall, it's been going well. I do have low points (I just found out my calcium levels are normal so I don't know what caused my kidney stones) but there's good if you look for it

Can't wait until Andy Kim replaces this loser

That's not how statistics works. If that were true, you could never test dice for fairness because there are theoretically an infinite number of rolls that could happen

Tokyo. I've been studying my Japanese lessons and I can't wait to ride their trains!

Reading this, I thought this would have happened in some small town in the middle of nowhere. This attack happened in Owasso. That's only twenty minutes from me. How could this have happened so close?

Actually, Spanish speakers spell it Gaby as it's consistent with their language

While we don't have official numbers, we do have this

https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7z5px/twitter-employees-on-visas-cant-just-quit

Early in the Twitter takeover, Twitter employees were offered a severance package to quit. H1-B workers can't just leave because they need their job to stay in the country. We can thus speculate that most of the workers that did leave are US citizens which leaves Twitter with the H1-B workers

No one wants to work for him. He's just holding visa workers hostage
