  • Excellent, I’ve just acquired Schenke and will incorporate it into my studying, danke!

    The Cornelsen book sounds perfect! Pencil to paper reinforcement is key for my learning style so ‘graduating’ to that once I wrap my head around A1 makes a lot of sense. I’ll digitally ‘acquire’ that one as well and put my recently refurbished, 10+ year old Rotring pencil to work on the blank medium Leuchtturm ‘journal’ I never started. (Can you tell I have an appreciation for German craftsmanship and engineering?)

    I’ve been taking steps towards leaving America to work and/or study abroad. Learning a new language, especially via self-directed study, has been a very intimidating step. These resources will go a long way in helping me tackle it. I very much appreciate your guidance.


  • I’m just starting on German. I’m primarily using Goethe Institute’s A1-Deutsch app but I’d like an English resource covering grammar too.

    I’m not sure whether studying via sentence completion and conversational examples is the most efficient way for my learning style. I think explicitly studying grammar would simultaneously assist in building vocabulary and proper usage. Any suggestions for a grammar primer?

    I have an Anki deck but feel as if my lack of a grammatical foundation puts me at a disadvantage with it. I need to learn a bit more about the back-end/theoretical basis for how it works; perhaps that poor understanding is getting in the way as well.






  • Bruh they’re just warming up.

    A couple street executions here, a detainment and (separate) FBI search of journalists there to gauge public response. They’ll adjust their approach, improve their propaganda and continue dismantling communities.

    They’re deep into abducting and concentrating innocent people including children They will continuously escalate their brutal and violent responses to resistance.

    They demanded voting records. They aren’t stopping with immigrants and they’re taking the first steps toward cataloging the opposition.

    Trump is not in charge. He is the distraction, the orange herring providing cover for the likes of Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and other focused, effective organizations operating in the background. The true consequences of the dozens of executive orders Trump auto-penned in his first months have hardly kicked in yet.

    We’re just reaching the second quarter.





  • Why are we focused in water balloons when condoms exist? Are they too resilient?

    Piss into a condom then squeeze it down into the tip until you have a happy medium between bursting pressure and throwability.

    Tie it off like a water balloon, then tie an additional knot (or double knot) a few millimeters higher. Repeat process until you have a bandolier of piss-filled condom balloons.

    You can separate them ahead of time or keep it intact depending on situation. Either way, I recommend a styrofoam cooler or other easily disposable hard-walled transport vessel.

    This method allows you to customize the caliber of ammunition as well as providing a simple method for multiple contributors.
