2024.04.22 06:55 RivennSin Theory: I think Fig is going to "fall..."

... in the same way that Gorthalax fell.
While discussing her potential power sources with her teachers, Porter alludes to Fig's German Shepard "doggy mode" in pretty vague terms. He calls it beautiful, "whatever it is." And that struck me as very odd. To me, it's very simple: it's loyalty. Loyalty to her friends and family. The word "loyalty" is strongly associated dog behavior and love. I see those traits in Fig's protectiveness and dedication. So... why does Porter dance around that specific word/virtue? Surely as a Paladin the concept of loyalty to a devotion/oath/group wouldn't be terribly abstract, right?
I think it's because "loyalty" is often an antonym for "rebellion," and Fig is the archdevil of rebellion. Any conversations regarding this ideal may cause Fig to reevaluate her motivations/identity, and should therefore be handled with more sensitivity and caution. I think Porter is waiting for Fig to come to these realizations on her own.
Following that conversation with her teachers, Fig had a long over-due conversation with her mother. Sandra Lynn engaged Fig as an adult in this conversation, apologizing for her past mistakes. And Fig, in turn, shows a lot of respect and understanding for her mother. At the end of this conversation, Fig lights up a cigarette, but laughs when Sandra takes it away. She doesn't argue or fight - her act of "rebellion" is purely for show/laughs. She no longer seems to care about rebelling against her parents. She's grown past it.
Gorthalax fell because he simply longer believed in the virtue of temperance. I believe Fig no longer believes in the "indulgence" (for lack of a better word) of rebellion, and it's causing her to have an identity crisis.

2024.04.13 00:30 cat-wave-anim9er Update on being pushed of the stairs by bullies for being a femboy

(every name in this story has been altered to protect my and their identities) (I also don't mention my grade for the same reason)
As this is kind of a vent post, I speak mostly from feelings and not everything may be the most rational thing to say to myself. I hope it's understandable
I've gotten the bad ending irl.
I just had the biggest fall from grace of all time. I can't even begin about how everything has changed.
Two years ago I was chosen clas president of popular vote. I used to be loved by EVERYONE. I had groups dedicated in my image, I was in every girl's DMs, I had girls contacting and prank calling me. I played evry sport, I was the funniest guy in every room I entered. I had group chats where I was the only guy amongs every girl. I. Was. The. Man.
i went to sickbay, I called my parents and without telling them I'm actually a femboy, I told them I'm being bullied for not being masculine enough. They were madder than I anticipated and my mom came to school to speak to my class's director, who then spoke with the principal.
My parents arranged to talk with everyone else's parents and filled a formal complaint.
The bully's parents were poorer, they denied their daughter pushing me and their argument was that she did touch me with her foot, but it is I who tripped over myself and I am just trying to bring down this girl for some reason. They lost the case and to repay us they told us: "don't worry, we will make sure our daughter never speaks to your son ever agin."
that last statement has destroyed my entire life.
I personally don't think what I did was bad. I was letting myself get stepped on for other people's pleasure, and when I stood up for it I was suddenly "a bad guy". I understand that that girl may not have wanted to actually push me, but its like pointing a loaded gun at someones face 100 times and being surprised when the rigger accidentally goes off. For one tim I put my needs over othe poeple's wants and this happens...
I'm not sure what their parents told HER, but I know what evryone now thinks of ME.
Everyone abandoned me. Every one of my friends had the choice between me or their social status, and they chose their status. It didn't matter who it was, how many favors I did for them in the past, for how many years we've known eachother. Once I entered the classroom, EVERY BOY INSTANTLY moved to the back of the classroom. They all gave me the evil eye. When a group joke was made, if I started laughing too they would all stop and stare at me. I was left quietly ignored in the front. They banned me off every group chat, some people straight up blocked me forever.
I thought they were just pretending for the look of popularity in front of the school! But evry day they would completely ignore me.
3 Days later, this person (let's call them L man) was dapping everyone outside school : "bye John, bye Tyler, bye Aaron, not you". I was shocked, since we werent at school anymore, there was no reason to pretend! But no, one of my "friends" straight up told me:
"BRO WTF DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, NO ONE LIKES YOU ANYMORE! AFTER YOU RATTED (her) ,JOHN CAN'T STAND YOU, L man CAN'T STAND YOU, NO ONE LIKE YOU ANYMORE YOU FUCKING SNITCH."
after that they all went in some other direction, even though some of us have the same road home. They left me physically and metaphorically!I had to walk completely alone home again for the first time in forever! It reminded me too much of my painful childhood filled of being bullied for my heigh.
I couldn't believe it
L man himself is an awesome example. He plays rugby and one day at 10 PM he called me telling that I have to be at his next practice tommorow at 6 AM otherwise they kick him out the team for not bringing anyone new. I don't talk a lot to L man, but I did it. I did intensive Rugby for 6 weeks until they found a new player. He was so grateful. He told me that I am the best friend he ever had.
Now just because I have beef with his GF he suddenly ignores everything?
Everyone has a similar story, and they are all also united in another thing. When worse came to worse, EVERYONE chose popularity over their friend since grade school. I only have one true friend, but that guy never had any popularity to begin with. Dan, one of my best friends is a die-hard touhou and HOI4 gamer, he didn't have anything to lose by being my friend. But knowing that HE is the only one to stick around doesn't help too much. point still stands: everyone that could lose something didn't even think twice before leaving me.
It all came togheter when the goup photoshoot for the end of the school year happened. No one wanted to stand next to me. In friend group photos, no one wanted to bring me in.
I fucked up EVRYTHING in the last few moments. The reason I believe got the "bad ending"is because I have won a selfish victory. I am happy with myself as a femboy, but I achieved my wants alone. By getting to this point, I sacrificed every one of my most loyal friends. I know some of them have dark hearts, but they saved me before whenever I was in a bad part of town or in bad company. Now it feels like bad company is all round me.
The way it feels, I achieved my wants but payed the price. And now I'm known as the school's biggest loser. Even worse, the school's biggest f***** rat that betrayed everyone for his own benefits. Losers can be forgiven, snicthes get stitches yk? I'm leaving to another school next semester, like evryone else. If I just hid for a few more months, I could've ended it all on a positive. Now every yearbook will forevr sew my fate of an absolute loser that gave everyone up for himself. My face will forevr be next to the words: "f*****","snitch","traitor", "rat' etc.
I thank evryone in the comments and DM's for their support, however looking at these words in the comment section and then my real life is like looking at a dictionary for antonyms. I love you all! now all I can do is be grateful for my very few friends and my own mentality.
This will also be my last post on feminineboys, I made another account so it will be harder to track me in the future.
thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and caring about me! I would love to hear other similar stories and to see how you guys pulled through even when everyone wanted your head between the wood and the blade of a guillotine.

In our globalized world, proficiency in the English language has become a vital asset. It is not only the lingua franca of international communication but also a key that opens doors to numerous opportunities. However, with these advantages comes the challenge of mastering the language's intricacies. One critical aspect to focus on is improving English reading skills. An effective strategy to achieve this is getting the help of an online English tutor, just like those you can find at AmazingTalker. These professionals can offer guidance tailored to your personal needs and pace.

The Power of Daily Study and Practice in Enhancing English Reading Skills

Mastering the English language might seem like a daunting task at first, but rest assured, with consistent daily study and practice, you can significantly improve your reading skills. Just as a musician fine-tunes their instrument, you too need to focus on your learning tools—which in this case are your reading skills.

The Role of Regular Study and Practice in Reading Skills

To progress, it's not enough to sporadically read an English book or article; consistency is key. Daily study and practice do not just enhance your vocabulary, but also help:
  • Understanding context: You get familiar with the nuances and context in which words and phrasal verbs are used.
  • Recognizing patterns: English, like any language, has its rules and patterns. The more you read, the quicker you can recognize these patterns.
  • Improving speed: Regular reading can help boost speed and efficiency, enabling you to breeze through paragraphs with ease.
  • Enhancing comprehension: As you understand words and context better, your comprehension ability naturally improves.

The Benefits of Daily Reading

Now, if you're wondering why daily reading is so important, here are a few reasons:
  • Building a robust vocabulary: Each time you read, you encounter new words and phrases, thereby expanding your vocabulary.
  • Boosting cognitive abilities: Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It challenges your brain, helping improve memory, concentration, and critical thinking skills.
  • Cultivating empathy: Reading diverse material allows you to understand different perspectives, nurturing empathy and compassion.
So, invest some time every day in practicing reading English. This consistent practice will lead to gradual but definite improvement in your reading skills. Be it a novel, newspaper, blog post, or comic book, make sure you read something in English each day. Take the first step today, and you'll soon start noticing the difference.

The Power of Questions and Discussions in Language Learning

Language learning is not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules, but also about understanding context, making connections, and applying what you've learned in conversations. In this process, two key elements come to the forefront: asking questions about the reading material, and engaging in discussions with others.
Asking questions is a fundamental part of the learning process. It goes beyond comprehension, promoting critical thinking, and encouraging deeper exploration of the subject. When learning a language, questioning the reading material helps you understand the use of words and phrases, the structure of sentences, and the cultural nuances embedded in the text. It also allows you to make personal connections with the material, promoting better retention and application of the language skills.
Discussion with others takes this interactive learning a step further. It's one thing to understand the language on a theoretical level, but quite another to use it in a conversation. Engaging in discussions helps you practice your new language skills in a real-world setting. You get to apply what you've learned, improve your pronunciation, learn new vocabulary, and gain confidence in your speaking abilities.
Moreover, discussions also encourage learning from peers. You get the opportunity to learn from others' perspectives, mistakes, and corrections. It also fosters a sense of community and shared learning, making the process more engaging and enjoyable.
In summary, asking questions about reading material and discussing it with others are crucial strategies in language learning. They promote active engagement with the material, enhance comprehension, and provide practical application of the language skills. On platforms like AmazingTalker, these strategies can be leveraged with one-on-one personalized teaching, ensuring a rewarding and effective language learning experience.

Flashcards for Easy Recollection

Flashcards serve as an effective learning tool, enhancing the ease of recalling information. With their help, you can break down complex topics into manageable chunks and reinforce memory retention. They come in particularly handy for learning new languages, remembering formulas or absorbing any other bite-sized piece of information. Here's how you can use them:
  • Write a question or a keyword on one side of the flashcard.
  • Write the answer or explanation on the other side.
  • Review the flashcards regularly until you have mastered the information they contain.

English Pronunciation Practice

Perfecting English pronunciation can be a challenge, but with regular practice, you can improve your verbal communication skills. Start by learning the sounds of the English alphabet and the various phonetic rules. Apps and online videos can be excellent tools for this. Next, practice saying common words and phrases out loud. Reading aloud and repeating after native speakers can also be beneficial.

Learning and Using Idioms

Idioms offer a unique insight into a language and its culture. They are metaphorical phrases that do not carry the literal meanings of their individual words. For example, in English, 'raining cats and dogs' means it's raining heavily. You can get familiar with idioms through books, movies, and everyday conversations. Use them in your spoken and written English to sound more natural.

Enhancing Vocabulary with a Thesaurus

A thesaurus can be a great tool for expanding your vocabulary. It provides synonyms (words with similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings) for a wide range of words. By using a thesaurus, you can learn new words, avoid repetition, and spice up your language. Just make sure to use it wisely; not all synonyms will fit every context.

Need for Diverse Reading Materials

To become proficient in a language, it's essential to read widely and frequently. Reading materials that cover a variety of subjects and genres can expose you to different vocabulary, writing styles, and contexts. This could include novels, non-fiction books, newspapers, magazines, and online articles. Regular reading will also improve your understanding of grammar and sentence structure, and it can help you get a better grasp on cultural nuances.

The Benefits of Private Tutoring and the Advantage of AmazingTalker

Boost Your English Reading Skills Actively

When it comes to polishing your English reading skills, active engagement with the reading materials is crucial. Simply scanning through the pages won't work. Instead:
  • Dive Deep: Delve into the heart of the material, understand the context, and dig deeper into the themes and character development if it's a story. For educational articles, try to grasp the core ideas.
  • Question: Don't just read. Ask questions, make notes, underline important parts. Turn reading into an interactive session.
  • Summarize: After each chapter or section, summarize what you've understood in your own words. It helps to strengthen retention of the content.

Feedback is Gold

One of the most underrated parts of the learning journey is feedback. It's easy to overlook, but it can significantly help improve your English reading skills:
  • Read Aloud: Hearing yourself read can help identify errors you might miss while silently reading.
  • Have Others Correct You: Have someone proficient in English listen to you read. They can point out pronunciation mistakes or misunderstood words.
  • Join Reading Clubs: Engage in group reading sessions where each person takes turns reading and offering constructive feedback.

2024.01.29 21:44 myklob The future of politics is Cyberocracy (Part 1)

What do you think? I think we can design forums that automate conflict resolution and cost-benefit analysis. Below is part 1, but I want to know what you think before I go too far:
  1. Prevent Redundancy: Limit the posting of a statement to a single instance. Repetitions or variations will link to a dedicated page devoted to analyzing this belief.
  2. Classify responses: Rather than generic replies, responses should be classified as specific content types, including supporting or weakening evidence, arguments, scientific studies, media (books, videos, images), suggested criteria for evaluating the belief, or personal anecdotes.
  3. Sort similar beliefs by:
    1. Similarity: Utilize synonyms and antonyms for initial sorting, enhanced by user votes and discussions about whether two statements are fundamentally the same. This enables sorting by similarity score and combining it with the statement’s quality score for improved categorization.
    2. Positivity or Sentiment: Contrast opposing views on the same subject.
    3. Intensity: Differentiate statements by their degree of intensity.
  4. What do you think is the beginning of the explanation of how we get there?age-per-topic approach, having one page per belief centralizes focus and enhances quality by:
    1. Displaying Pros and Cons Together to prevent one-sided propaganda: Show supporting and weakening elements such as evidence, arguments, motivations, costs, and benefits, ordered by their score.
    2. Establishing Objective Criteria: Brainstorm and rank criteria for evaluating the strength of the belief, like market value, legal precedents, scientific validity, professional standards, efficiency, costs, judicial outcomes, moral standards, equality, tradition, cognitive test, taxes (for presidential candidates), and reciprocity.
    3. Categorizing Relevant Media: Group media that defends or attacks the belief or is based on a worldview accepting or rejecting the belief. For example, just looking at movies, Religiosity is a documentary questioning the existence of God, Bolling for Columbine is a movie that criticizes our gun control laws, and An Inconvenient Truth is a movie that argues for action on greenhouse gases.
    4. Analyzing Shared and Opposing Interests: Examine and prioritize the accuracy of interests said to be held by those who agree or disagree with the belief.

We need collective intelligence to guide artificial intelligence. We must put our best arguments into an online conflict resolution and cost-benefit analysis forum. Simple algorithms, like Google's PageRank algorithm (whose copyright has expired), can be modified to count arguments and evidence instead of links to promote quality. However, before I get to any of that I wanted to describe the general framework. I would love to hear what you think!

    1. Displaying Pros and Cons Together to prevent one-sided propaganda: Show supporting and weakening elements such as evidence, arguments, motivations, costs, and benefits, ordered by their score.
    2. Establishing Objective Criteria: Brainstorm and rank criteria for evaluating the strength of the belief, like market value, legal precedents, scientific validity, professional standards, efficiency, costs, judicial outcomes, moral standards, equality, tradition, and reciprocity.
      1. For example, some people believe Trump is a genius, and some believe he is a moron. Perhaps the objective criteria would be his performance on the cognitive tests.
      2. Also, some think he is a billionaire, and others believe he is bankrupt. Every other president has published their tax records. These would define his assets objectively.
    3. Categorizing Relevant Media: Group media that defends or attacks the belief or is based on a worldview accepting or rejecting the belief. For example, just looking at movies, Religiosity is a documentary questioning the existence of God, Bolling for Columbine is a movie that criticizes our gun control laws, and An Inconvenient Truth is a movie that argues for action on greenhouse gases.
    4. Analyzing Shared and Opposing Interests: Examine and prioritize the accuracy of interests said to be held by those who agree or disagree with the belief.

How Can PhD Scholars Improve Their Writing Skills?
Embarking on a Ph.D. journey is a significant academic milestone, but the path is laden with challenges, one of the most formidable being the art of scholarly writing. A Ph.D. scholar's ability to communicate effectively through the written word is crucial for the success of their research. In this blog post, we will explore practical and accessible ways for Ph.D. scholars to enhance their writing skills, ensuring that their ideas are not only profound but also effectively conveyed to their intended audience.

https://preview.redd.it/0zwo7k5anizb1.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50d8b925654fac5f2e55ede8e1f8d9d64d9570fb

Understanding the Importance of Writing Skills

Before delving into the strategies to improve writing skills, it's essential to recognize the pivotal role that writing plays in academia. A well-articulated thesis or research paper not only demonstrates the depth of a scholar's understanding but also serves as a vehicle for the dissemination of knowledge. Clear, concise, and coherent writing not only enhances the credibility of the research but also facilitates better comprehension among peers and wider audiences.
Read Widely and Analyze Effectively:
The foundation of good writing is laid upon a vast landscape of reading. By exposing oneself to a diverse range of scholarly articles, books, and other academic works, a Ph.D. scholar can absorb various writing styles and methodologies. Analyzing these works critically helps in identifying effective writing techniques, structuring of arguments, and appropriate language usage.
Develop a Writing Routine:
Consistency is key when it comes to improving writing skills. Establishing a writing routine helps in cultivating discipline and making writing a habitual practice. Whether it's dedicating a specific time each day or setting word count goals, having a routine creates a conducive environment for productivity. Over time, this consistency will contribute significantly to the refinement of writing skills.
Seek Feedback and Embrace Criticism:
Constructive feedback is a valuable tool for improvement. Ph.D. scholars should actively seek feedback from peers, mentors, or writing groups to gain insights into their writing strengths and weaknesses. Constructive criticism provides an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and refine one's writing style. It's important to approach feedback with an open mind and a willingness to learn.
Utilize Writing Workshops and Courses:
Many universities and research institutions offer writing workshops and courses specifically designed for Ph.D. scholars. These resources provide a structured platform to enhance writing skills, covering aspects such as academic style, research paper structure, and citation methods. Taking advantage of such opportunities can significantly contribute to a scholar's writing proficiency.
Develop a Strong Thesis Statement:
A clear and concise thesis statement is the backbone of any academic writing. Ph.D. scholars should invest time in crafting a strong thesis statement that succinctly outlines the purpose and scope of their research. A well-defined thesis statement not only guides the writing process but also helps readers understand the significance of the study.
Enhance Vocabulary and Language Proficiency:
A rich vocabulary and proficiency in language usage elevate the quality of academic writing. Ph.D. scholars can cultivate an extensive vocabulary by regularly incorporating new words into their writing and exploring synonyms and antonyms. Additionally, paying attention to sentence structure and grammar contributes to the overall clarity of expression.
Master the Art of Revision:
Writing is a process, and revision is an integral part of refining one's work. Ph.D. scholars should allocate sufficient time for revising and editing their drafts. This involves checking for coherence, clarity, and consistency in arguments. Seeking feedback during the revision process can offer valuable perspectives and lead to substantial improvements.
Stay Updated on Academic Writing Styles and Guidelines:
Different disciplines often follow specific writing styles and formatting guidelines. It's imperative for Ph.D. scholars to familiarize themselves with the standards of academic writing in their field. This includes understanding citation formats, referencing styles, and other conventions. Adhering to these guidelines not only ensures academic integrity but also enhances the professionalism of the writing.
Embrace Technology Tools:
In the digital age, various technological tools can aid in improving writing skills. Grammar-checking software, plagiarism detectors, and writing enhancement tools can be valuable companions for Ph.D. scholars. These tools help in identifying and rectifying grammatical errors, ensuring the use of appropriate language, and maintaining the integrity of the written work.
Engage in Collaborative Writing:
Collaborative writing offers a unique opportunity for Ph.D. scholars to exchange ideas, receive feedback, and learn from peers. Engaging in collaborative writing projects or participating in writing groups fosters a supportive environment where scholars can enhance their writing skills through collective knowledge sharing and constructive critiques.

Conclusion

Mastering the art of academic writing is a continuous journey that requires dedication, practice, and a willingness to learn and adapt. By incorporating these practical strategies into their routine, Ph.D. scholars can navigate the challenges of scholarly writing and ensure that their research leaves a lasting impact. Writing is not just a means of conveying information; it is a powerful tool for shaping and influencing the academic landscape. As Ph.D. scholars hone their writing skills, they not only contribute to the advancement of knowledge but also establish themselves as effective communicators in their respective fields.

2023.09.04 11:14 anny_t_ka The Polyglot's Guide to Mastering Multiple Languages Simultaneously

The Polyglot's Guide to Mastering Multiple Languages Simultaneously
https://preview.redd.it/mufwb591h7mb1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=cdb59dc7075daf9ed01f70681ce4a3a114478af9
Have you ever thought about becoming multilingual? Learning a new language is an extremely rewarding endeavor that enriches your perspective and opens doors to new people and cultures. But did you know that you can actually learn multiple languages at the same time? With the right strategies, it is possible to simultaneously progress in several tongues and become a polyglot. Voccent helps not only to learn languages, but also teaches how to speak them correctly.
While it may seem intimidating, tackling multiple languages simultaneously can actually be easier thanks to the crossover of vocabulary, grammar concepts, and language learning skills. This allows you to reinforce the same ideas in different contexts, ultimately boosting retention. If you’re eager to expand your linguistic horizons, here are crucial tips for learning languages concurrently.

Set Realistic Goals

Trying to perfectly master several languages from the start is a surefire path to quick burnout. Be strategic in setting daily and weekly goals that feel challenging but manageable. For example, you might spend 20 minutes studying grammar in Spanish, then 20 minutes conversing in Italian, 20 minutes doing Japanese vocabulary flashcards, and so on. Reassess often and adjust your goals when needed.
To avoid overload and burnout, set daily and weekly language goals that feel challenging but achievable. Be strategic in how you divide your time between languages each day/week. Re-evaluate your goals often and scale back when needed. Don’t overcommit yourself.
Since learning several languages at once is intense, set yourself up for success by establishing realistic, bite-sized goals. Don’t expect mastery right away. Find a healthy, motivating balance with study time divided strategically between languages. Reassess often and adjust goals as needed.

Focus on One Language Per Day

While diversity is important, cramming every language into a single day can muddle your brain. Try to focus on just one or two languages each day on a rotating schedule. For example, dedicate Mondays to Spanish, Tuesdays to French, Wednesdays to Japanese, and so on. This concentrated time allows clearer retention.
To avoid mental overload, dedicate each day of the week to learning just one or two languages on a consistent rotating schedule. This focused approach allows you to dig deeper rather than jumping sporadically between languages and retaining less overall.
Concentrating on just one or two languages per day allows you to learn more intensively rather than cramming all your languages daily. Design a consistent rotating schedule, like Spanish Mondays, French Tuesdays, and so on. Focused, dedicated time with each language boosts retention.

Find Connections Between Languages

Instead of compartmentalizing your languages, look for grammatical, vocabulary, and phonetic connections between them. Spanish and Italian share similarities you can leverage to reinforce retention in both. Learn how sentence structure differs between Japanese and English so you can better contrast them. Discovering and utilizing crossover elements will mutually benefit your languages.
Searching for grammatical, vocabulary, and phonetic similarities and differences between your languages allows you to reinforce concepts across tongues. Learning the connections makes each language easier by allowing you to contrast and leverage shared elements.
Make connections between vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, sounds, and more across all your languages. Finding similarities and differences allows you to reinforce concepts and leverage crossover elements from your other languages. Making these connections mutually benefits your learning.

Immerse Yourself in the Cultures

Language is inherently tied to culture. Watch shows, listen to music, cook food, read books, and engage with native speakers from each language’s culture. This grounds the languages in a relatable context and makes the vocabulary, slang, and conversations more practical and intuitive. Cultural immersion accelerates language acquisition.
Language is deeply linked to culture. Immersing yourself in each language’s music, shows, literature, cuisine and native speakers grounds your learning in practical cultural contexts. This boosts comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversational skills noticeably faster.
Since language is intertwined with culture, immerse yourself in the TV shows, music, books, food, and native speakers from each culture. This cultural grounding brings the languages to life with practical vocabulary, conversations, and context. Immerse yourself as much as possible.

Use Spaced Repetition Methods

Cramming vocabulary is not effective. Instead, rely on spaced repetition methods like flashcards, practice quizzes, and apps like Voccent that retest you on content over time. The spacing effect boosts retention as you successfully recall words and concepts in spaced intervals. This is powerful when applied to multiple languages.
Studying vocabulary using spaced repetition techniques like flashcards, practice tests, and apps ensures better retention compared to cramming. The spacing effect allows you to recall words more successfully when retested over spaced intervals. Use this method across all languages.
Avoid cramming vocabulary! Use spaced repetition via flashcards, quizzes, and apps that retest you over time. The spacing effect helps you recall words more successfully when encountered multiple times over spaced intervals. Apply this technique to all your languages.

Make Associations Between Words

Relating new vocabulary across your languages helps reinforce the words better. When learning new words, look for visual associations, stories, acronyms, cognates, antonyms, and other connections that tie the new terms to familiar words in your other languages. These associations boost recall.
Making visual, story, acronym, cognate, and antonym associations between new vocabulary words across your languages helps reinforce the new terms better. Tying words together creates strong memories boosting recall of vocabulary across your multiple languages.
Boost vocabulary retention by making visual, story, acronym, cognate, and antonym associations between new words across your languages. These memory links help you reinforce and recall related vocabulary across your multiple tongues. Make associations whenever possible.
With realistic goals, focused scheduling, crossover utilization, cultural immersion, spaced repetition, and linked vocabulary associations, simultaneously progressing in multiple languages is absolutely achievable. Be patient with your brain as it adapts to juggling multiple tongues. Your hard work will pay off immensely as you transform into a multilingual polyglot. The world will open up to you linguistically, culturally, and socially.

2023.08.24 21:44 MGT1111 Monogamy, Integrity, Ethics and the Value of Simplicity and why ENM and Polyamory is unethical lacking Integrity and devoid of Honesty - Part 2!

The Gate of Ethics and integrity!
It's only by bearing witness to the pain of craving, we discover the true heart of generosity. Bearing witness to suffering, we set ourselves on the path to discover the source of love and compassion. We do not find happiness and love in the pursuit of polyamorous hedonist debauchery. In our willingness to turn our focus towards the shadows in our own hearts and lives, we find an integrity that is unshakable, actually, unbreakable. An ethical life is not a state of sanctity that we arrive at, but a verb; we discover genuine integrity in those significant moments when we follow the pathway of ending harm and sorrow rather than causing it. Polybombing your spouse, destroying their life, sending them to therapy while fucking other people in their face, while the spouse is struggling, sending them allthewhile to therapy is the antonyme of ethics. It's the epitome of evil. Polyamorists like to brag how they are ethical. Yet, saying a truth alone, is not enough to be ethical. Saying the truth while acting in contradiction and causing suffering to selfishly gain something for your own means, is manipulation and gazlighting. It is abusing the truth and is unethical. Polyamory is not ethical non monogamy. It's evil, evil non monogamy.
The practice of integrity is the quest for simplicity and freedom. It is integrity of heart that directly contributes to releasing us from the distress of guilt, regret, shame, fear, worry and doubt. The ethical guideline, a truly ethical life is born of wisdom and contributes to wisdom; it is born of compassion and embodies compassion. Non of this is something polyamorists are good at. Consciously leaving a life of integrity is a hidden door to a life serenity and happiness. What is, additionally, of true significance is the fact that commitment goes hand in hand with fidelity. It is a commitment that encourages us to bring sensitivity to our bodies, minds, and hearts, and to the ways we interact with the world of forms and occurences. It is also creating a commitment to integrity, honesty, and respect in all the circumstances of our lives that is shared and strenghted by values of loyalty and fidelity. If I do not recognize the of fidelity as an integral part if ethics and integrity with my spouse, I won't be able to stay loyal to other poeple that aren't my spouse.
The ethical guidelines include the mastery of restraint and endurance. We learn to restrain harmful or unskillful tendencies of body, speech, and mind—not because they are “bad” or “wrong,” but because they create suffering, confusion, and division. We learn to pause with compassion in the moments that we recognize such dynamics so we can come to understand them and no longer be guided by them. We say hello to our shadow and demons and learn to accept them, without acting out on their distructive addictions in a way that they don't hold a grip on us anymore.
It is a practice that demands both awareness as well as dedication. Sometimes we need to be willing to extend ourselves beyond the boundaries of what is know and easy. Sometimes it involves strenght to face the painful, the unknown and fearful, often as having to rejects social trends encouraged by others. Genuine acceptance, the balanced heart and mind that can see things as they are, does not imply that everything is acceptable. There is an ongoing war on monogamy that was declared not only by the industrial polyamorous complex but also that of adultery and infidelity. As subcultures of our capitalist consumer society they encourage the toxicity of ignorance, delusion, greed, craving and ill will. We can't and are not allowed to bow to the forces of institutionalised pain and suffering. The reality that is imposed on us by those forces is not to be changed by passivity or even idealism. It can be changed only when we decide to disengage from this forces, not act out on their false promises but folllow our own integrity and ethics. In other words, change will happen through an inner commitment not to consent to the causes of pain. Restraint does not mean apathy, it means a life of integrity, a life dedicated ethical change. The insight into the roots and causes of suffering, what triggers and what ceases it, stands at the root of all ethical choices and acts.
In monogany, we dedicate ourselves to try to protect the life, safety, and dignity of ourselves, our partners and in fact other living beings. Most of us do not commit acts of extreme violence or cruelty, yet through carelessness, the desire for personal advantage, or habit, polyamorists find themselves harming other poeple in their thoughts and actions. Choosing to engage in polyamory we inevitably decide to walk a path leaving behind us a trail of hurt, fear, mistrust, abuse and destruction. Restraint does not mean that feelings of anger, judgment, or resentment should never arise; they will and do arise.
As an embded part or the twin brother of our consumer culture, the constant modern advertisement, especially of the ENM constantly proclaim “You deserve it all.” This is a philosophy that cultivates subtle and gross dishonesty and greed unless you are aware of those dynamics and counteract them on personal, relationship and wider collective circles. A monogamous marriage relates in that sense to relationships. Choosing the other path, especially the ENM and polyamorous relationship model, we set ourselves to an increasing path of dishonesty as long as the source of happiness and well-being is projected outside of ourselves. Inner feelings of deprivation, poverty, and inadequacy are not determined by how much or how little we have, but by our exile from genuine inward happiness. The conscious cultivation of integrity is an invitation to discover ourselves and the inner happiness that relies upon nothing.
This relates also to honesty and integrity in speech. Our speech becomes simpler and wiser when we commit ourselves to speaking with truth and honesty. A commitment to integrity and honesty needs to be our first loyalty if our speech is to be an expression of respect and dignity. Honesty in our speech inspires trust and confidence from others and invites a reciprocal truthfulness. Yet our understanding of truth needs to be tempered with wisdom. What appears to us to be blatantly true may be an opinion in disguise. This is a kind of trap the polyamorists set and exploit when they take merely superficialy true statements while hiding an ocean of lies behind them.
Polyamorists might be tempted to declare, “We live in a monogamous world, empty of meaning, consent and honesty.” “Polyamory is sperior to monogamy and all momogamist are fake imposters” “Monogamy are corrupt and unnatural.” We may find ourselves being said by polyamorists, “You are always defensive” or being told by themthat we must reeducate ourselves.”Polyamorists can genuinely believe, declare and make statements they believe to be truthful and honest, yet they resemble nothing but mere political and socially constructed manifests more than anything else, specifically any true and honest communication that are in fact nothing but gaslighting of a collective mass hysteria and are rooted as I have explained, in greed, delusion, aversion and ill will.
Committing ourselves not only to honesty but also to integrity, loyalty, fidelity and harmony, we are aware that truth can be a weapon of destruction and alienation when it is used to assert self-righteoussness. Polyamorists may believe as long as they want that ther criticism of monogamy may be firmly based in reality and truthfulness, yet, the truth is that among many others their intention is to call out monogamists on their alleged stupidity and even punish them for that. They allegedly point out the faults and imperfections in another, convincing themselves that they are doing it to “help” them. What is the consequence of our truthfulness? Does it lead to the cessation of suffering or adding more pain and hurt to the pile? Does it foster harmony and understanding in the world? Does it help to reduce personal pain or increase it? Or does it lead to alienation, distance, division, anxeity, fear, restlessness, worry and doubt? Truthfulness is a precious gift with remarkable powers of transformation, realized in the moments it is communicated, rather than delivered as a weapon of mass destruction to subjugate others
Polyamorists may even believe as long as they want that as long as their intentions are wholesome and good, their words are always justified. They deludedly believe that they are motivated by the deepest loving kindness and compassion when they point out the alkeged flaws and imperfections of another person, but they tend to forget that this person has a heart filled with fears, worries, anxieties, and wounds as eveyone else. As long as their hedonist world stays in tact, this is a world and reality they refuse to see and acknowledged.
What they can't understand is that even intention cannot be the final measure of the wisdom of our speech of honesty and integrity. They may criticise their unwilling partner for their alleged exaggeration, dishonesty, or unkindness,they may even state some general valid truth yet they still take advantage of the fact that their thoughts, feelings, and intentions are not necessarily visible to their unwilling partner. They manipulate the truth through gasliging to present an unethical and dishonest speech as being honest and ethical. This is why the claim that ENM and polyamory are ethical and honest, a statement of dishonesty and lack of morals, ethics and integrity. The hallmark of polyamory can be described as what I call the use of "honest manipulation" to institutionally gaslight everyone on personal, relational and in wider collective circles based on the modern mass hysteria cultivated by the polyamorist industrial complex. It is the hallnark and the essence of polyamorous dishonesty, lack of integrity and lack of ethics.
Integrity and honesty is very important in the sexual realm too. We avoid and always refrain from sexual misconduct and harm. Cultivating bodily acts of loving kindness includes the sexual relationships we engage in. In the complex and volatile area of sexuality, honesty and integrity protect us from exploitation, disrespect, and fear. The volatile fire of lust appears to hold the power to blind us. When caught in the throes of ENM and polyamorous infatuation, sensitivity, simplicity, harmony and balance are frequently forgotten. The power of craving, needing, and wanting becomes focused upon achieving specific goals of possessions, matetial and immaterial, and instant gratification of the moment. Times of sexual infatuation may be some of the most concentrated moments in our lives, yet it is not a wise concentration and true integrity as well al genuune honesty. Tension, fear, feelings of incompleteness, false sense of need aiming at hiding the destructively volutile fire of craving and desire, all make up the tapestry of sexual infatuation, especially in the ENM and poly communities. It can be summerzied as the modern trance of lust as expressed trough the polyamorous industrial complex
As standing opposed to that, the other path offers us to learn to step out of the compelling nature of our fantasies and needs, and acknowledge that meaningful sexual relationships are born of a shared commitment to mutually alleviate the human suffering, not adding more to it. The spirit of such sexual morality and integrity means refraining from sexual misconduct and it always should remind us not to act out on our sexual desire, not only when partners explicitely do not offer their consent but especially when implicitely a partner may techically agree but without explicite consent, for example due to fear of loosing tbeir spouses or other reasons they consider as difficult to break the relationship. Here, implicitely a false consent is given, is where honesty and integrity is required the most. It's not a technical superficial outward consent which the abusive side is taking advantage of that is important, but the personal inner honesty and integrity to say no through realizing the situation and refraining to it.
In other words, we can say that having integrity and being faithful means to have a firm and enduring loyalty and commitment to to our spouses. Faithfulness has a crucial and important role in building trust, reliability and enduring relationships. However, the greatest asset of faithfulness is that it curbs the tendency to get sidetracked by the volutile fire of cravings and desires, boredom or fickle-mindedness and enhances resolution and self-discipline in a marriage and relationship. It is the antidote to all the toxicity of cravings and desires as I explained here. When we do this and are faithful to our commitment, it imparts to us a tremendous energy and confidence that speeds our journey along the path of our life. In other words, the highest level of friendship does not change through changing circumstances. Such faithfulness tends to engender faithfulness in those toward whom it is directed. Faithfulness is one of the most important ingredients for a successful marriage. We should have the attitude of relating to others' partners and spouses as if we were celibate' and our own one's as lay poeple. As I already said, monogamy to a lay person is what a path of monastisticism, is to a monk. That is it's meaning.
Polyamorist know exactly their partner suffer, polyamorist see exactly the agony their partners go true, polyamorists see evidently the emotional pain and stress their actions cause in ther partners, yes, lacking basic personal honesty, they refuse to stop, to bear witness to the havoc they caused in their partner's life and choose the path of selfish hedonist debauchery and in such a way that they fail the test of honesty as to refrain from causing harm to others instead of putting their hedonist whims aside and step up for the suffering patners. True and genuine sexual integrity means to look deeply into our motivations that stand behind our actions. It means to pay attention in a way that allows us to discover how sexuality can be connected to the heart and at the end be an expression of true love and genuine intimacy"
