Let's say some groups of people live longer than other groups of people on average

In order to achieve equality the people who are in groups that live longer on average could intentionally make worse health decisions that shorten their lifespan on average

because it would be racist to suggest that the groups that live shorter on average should make better health decisions that raise their lifespan on average

If you try to raise everyone's lifespan regardless of group then you are a racist

I think the person who made human resources film had a parent or relative who was a victim of a psychological experiment as a member of the military and so she made this documentary because of it if I remember correctly

They put one of her relatives on experimental drugs to see what would happen if I remember correctly

@LysanderMooner

If you want to watch awesome documentaries by people who might think they are Anarcho-syndicalists who sometimes get Noram Chomsky to appear as a guest speaker in their documenary then I suggest

Metanoia hyphen films dot org

https://metanoia-films.org/

I would start with human resources if I only suggested one of their films

It goes over MK Ultra type experiments if I remember correctly

My favorite grocery stores

are

1 Woodman's

2 Trader Joes

3 Aldis

Woodman's claims to be employee owned

It gives you a wide selection of choices and specific brands at cheap prices and is very big

Aldi and trader joe's give you cheap prices but less choices

When people support Anarcho-syndicalism then Anarcho capitalists often say it already exists and you do not need to do anything special you can just start a employee owned business

"I tried to learn Greek, Hebrew and Arabic because they were too difficult because of their gender, number monstrosities"

Typo

"I tried to learn Greek, Hebrew and Arabic but they were too difficult because of their gender, number monstrosities"

I wanted to learn all the ancient languages of the modern major world religions but they were just so difficult I decided I am going to give up if I can not master easier languages

@LysanderMooner

Ancient Greek verbs are nasty

For one verb You might memorize five words and then a different conjugation pattern for each of the five words

So a verb has multiple different forms spelled differently and then each form is conjugated into a different table

@LysanderMooner

Right now I am trying to complete Korean and Indonesian as my goal

And I signed up for other genderless languages also

If I complete all the genderless languages then I will try to learn Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, French and Spanish

I tried to learn Greek, Hebrew and Arabic because they were too difficult because of their gender, number monstrosities

@Stahesh

I am only studying genderless languages on duolingo

If I complete all the genderless languages they have then maybe I will try learning a language with gender

The people who invented Hebrew are sick in the head

Not only do the nouns have genders but the verbs have genders

I strongly suspect that Hebrew language has influenced transgenderism with their obsession with assigning gender to things that have no biological gender to a degree greater than most other languages

@BHG

If a politician ( who is not defending themself ) tries to shoot you with a gun and they miss and load to shoot another shot

And you shoot them in self defense

Then you used defense force and did not initiate violence

The politician initiated violence through their act of aggression

"True I often figh with the and a/an. Because in slavic it does not exist too so I often forget it and for me it is waste of time.

I like when i learn russian they have it simple too.

Like On politik it would be translated He is a politician. So when I just do he is politician it take my heart away :("

Yes that is exactly the problem that frustrates me with their Korean language learning tool

@Stahesh

I just find it annoying that it makes you choose very specific translation choices where the language is ambiguous and marks the points as wrong If you do not choose just the right choice

Over all I think it is one of the fastest ways to learn and still suggest using it and then figuring out the fine details it gets wrong later

I just which it would stop marking things wrong if I do not insert the word "a", "an" or "the" when words with these meanings do not even exist in Korean

@Stahesh

The problem is they will mark sentences wrong If you do not use the correct choice of "a", "an", "the", "this", "that", "those" or "these" but Duolingo does not understand that translation correctly and it is really annoying

You sometimes can not tell if a word is singular or plural without a number but duolingo makes you choose a singular or plural version of the word

So it makes you select a lot of very specific English translation choices where the translation is ambiguous

@Stahesh

The problems with the grammar are going to be the same no matter which dialect

The pronouns do not have gender in Korean

There are no words that translate as "a", "an", or "the" in Korean

Words that Duolingo translates as "this", "that", "a", "the", "those", "these" are misunderstood because they have special meanings that have to do with the location of objects that can not easily be translated to a single English word

@Stahesh

So for Korean there are different dialects in South Korea but there is a official standard dialect

Some of the compound vowels used to be pronounced different but in the standard dialect there are multiple compound vowels that make the same sound

The problem with Duolingo is not the dialects but the grammar

@Stahesh

He seems to think the definition is different from what I said but it is still different than the way duolingo uses words based on spelling variants of these types of words

Some of my previous comments about Y, G and J location words might have been wrong but Duolingo is also wrong

I maintain that I am correct to the best of my knowledge about the other points however

Picture of other related Korean words similar to what I called

Y, G and J in second video link

There are a whole class of words with variant spellings on these used on Duolingo with slightly different spellings and meanings that I believe Duolingo gets wrong
