    The girl's skin is so dark that it seems to go unnoticed by her eyes. This might be what they mean when they say, “I don’t see color.”

    Chefs never share their secrets

    Literally verbatim, genuinely a moron! Man you do like your tautologies. Well i can tell you this, I might be a moron but I know better than to waste time on you today.
    If one day, you can gain a firm grasp on your emotions, command of the english language, concept of hypotheticals, and ,most importantly, logical structure; we can pick this back up. Until then, knock yourself out calling people nazis and getting that dissonance frustration out, hope it helps ;)
    When a simple monolingual tells you to git gud at English.

    Exactly. Which is why there are articles about "chef's favorite places to eat", which sounds like an insider thing. But the reality is most chefs smoke and deaden their tastebuds, many shoot up heroin, and they work ridiculous hours and end up devouring street junk food at 4am.

    It kills the romantic notions of the chef's diet, but they are well-kept secrets. Unless you catch a chef first thing in the morning passed out by a dumpster with a needle in his arm.

    I value HR, in the tech industry its often the only source of premium eyecandy
    Dude, that's why fashtech is where it's at among us Eurotrash, bro. We literally have an office in Guimarães where network administrators report on the supermodels strolling about the office in their robes between fashion shoots.

    Meanwhile, I can't imagine speaking 3.
    It's not as difficult as you may think it is. Lots of languages also have similar grammar. For example while the actual words and sounds are very different, English is grammatically almost the same as Dutch. Only Dutch is much more demanding in where words come in sentences.

    The grammar of Italian, French and Spanish is quite similar. The risk is obviously mixing them up, but people would still understand you.

    Speaking a language is actually really easy, especially with the internet, spending 3 months anywhere with a half functioning brain will allow you to "speak" at a fairly good level. Mastering or command of a language on the other hand demands understanding of the culture and a fairly good amount of reading of its literature. Some people think they are fluent just because they know the grammar and can use vernacular like some social media retard. They aren't.This adheres to de Saussures theory of linguistics, if the experience is simply consuming low brow media and regurgitating its content, one is nothing more than a parrot.

    This is true, but I'd say that for me it has come quite naturally.

    English is something I heard on tv and the tv shows were American and English. We studied French from when I was 8 or something, until I was 18. So this is a long process and it does involve a lot of reading. Italian I learnt mainly from living there, so obviously you take in the culture.

    It's interesting you say that though, because I noticed that sometimes native English speakers are not only not adept at speaking other languages but also completely oblivious to cultural differences. They say and do incredibly rude stuff. Of course I might make similar mistakes in Japan or Tunisia, in countries I don't know at all. But they can be so crass in Europe.

    A symptom of anglo American cultural supremacy, almost always the learning and understanding effort was made by the non anglos. But even within the anglos, since adoption is so ubiquitous and bastardized, there's a huge dearth of knowledge of where things come from and why. Speaking of i really like this account:

    For some reason Brits think they invented sarcasm and that it's a unique characteristic of their humour.

    I can understand the concept behind verb conjugation and how that could be beneficial, but I think the concept of gendering of objects will always seem strange to me tbh. My computer and bed are male but my chair is female for some reason, does this really add anything?

    I know it doesn't make sense to look at it in that way since that's just not how the development of language works, but it's just so foreign of a concept to me as someone that has grown up in a family that has spoken only English for the past ~60 years. And I know full well that English doesn't really "make sense" very often as well :p
    Shaddap you poor man's Dua Lipa.

    You guys gave birth to Theo Von though.

    Do you mean to tell me that "wine" and "travelling" are not personality traits too?

    See British girls have those personality traits but they also like F1 and Sunday roast. A lot more complex than American women :agree:
