But we all know that in America, that’s sadly not gonna happen.

I have generalized anxiety disorder and adhd. I wish i could control my anxiety and impulsive thoughts completely

For me, Duolingo plus middle school and highschool spanish has helped me tremendously. It does get repetitive and daunting at points but that’s honestly a good thing as it reinforces and reminds you of certain things you may forget or get wrong.

The gamification of it actually helped me push harder than i would have thought being competitive for the weekly rankings as well as with my ADHD.

Of course I’m still not amazing at spanish but I can hold a very simple conversation, follow along with conversations people are speaking and pick up on context, speak to spanish speakers where they compliment it and say it’s perfect, and I can read it and write it very well.

It could very well just be me and my dedication to it but with a 61 day streak and at minimum of 15 minutes a day while using a journal to write down any and everything I can and practicing Spanish at work, while watching spanish cartoons, I would say Duolingo has been absolutely worth it for me

Yuh. I originally put the actual tetragrammaton and it ended up censoring it, itself.

I singled out Ashkenazi jews as most westerners aren’t aware of other groups such as Mizrahi or Sephardi. It was for ease of following conversation in case anyone else stumbled upon the comment thread. And yeah, I was referring to the original pronunciation of the letter and the original form of the Tetragrammaton.

In terms of the usage of Adonai, Elohim, El Shaddai, or even Hashem, those are used at titles such as “Lord” and not the actual name of the Deity of Abraham correct? When you said “multiple names of God”, I assumed you meant the Kaballah teaching that there are 72 names of God

Vav is a product of ashkenaszi pronunciations due to yiddish. Originally it’s Waw. And the multiple names for God thing comes from Kaballah which certain groups of Jews actually do reject as mysticism and not originally being grom Judaism but added in after the second temple period due to the Zohar. Certain groups such as the Kairaites for example, even reject the Talmud, Mishnah, and Kaballah and stick to Torah and Tanakh only

I know that the post is a joke but in Hebrew, the name for God is יחוח which are the hebrew characters Yod Hei Waw Hei

There are several different ethnic groups of Jews. Ashkenaszi (European Jews and what westerners automatically assume a Jewish person is and looks like), Sephardic Jews, Yemeni Jews, Ethiopian Jews, Karaite Jews, and so many more. As well, the Jewish people have been subjugated to being forced to move and travel and who knows what the people of the time of Jesus would have actually looked like.

Specifically the Two Toed Sloth. They’re way cuter than the three toes Sloth and they have nice each independent digit (toe) unlike the three toed sloth. Baby two toed sloths also sound like human babies

Everyone talks about Firefox. And that’s cause Firefox is good and hands down the best. But I’ve been using Vivaldi which is chromium based for years. Anyone have any opinion on Vivaldi?

You got too much sleep

E girls are just an evolved version of this that’s more feminine

As someone who never used Sync before, trust me, it will spike like crazy. I don’t know why I never used it before but this an amazing experience. If you’re reading this and trying to find a Lemmy app to use and don’t care about FOSS, get Sync ASAP

Trust. You really don’t want to know…

I made a post about politics and got down voted liked crazy and they had to lock my post. There are small moments but it’s being kept in check

Pineapple on pizza is actually good if you get Hawaiian. By itself is just a no

I’m from Charleston, SC and in elementary school, we went to visit it. Grew up learning a lot about it.l It’s also incredibly small in person. Doesn’t look comfortable at all
