I don't know, I kinda agree with OP. Every time something seems impossible there's always a breakthrough. Why should we believe it would be any different for this?

I think you should be angrier at your mother dude.

That's kinda fucked up. You can still learn, just use Comprehensible Input resources (like Dreaming Spanish) instead of the "blue-pill" crap like classes.

You either gotta learn it young when your neurons are still nice and plastic or put in lots and lots of work and maintain it

No offense, but I despise this kind of essentialist thinking, that once you're past a certain age it's all over. It's the way languages are taught. Comprehensible Input is where it's at. Take a look at the first five min of video link nested below (the bot removed the comment b/c it had a youtube link). You can watch the rest of the vid but the main part is from the first five min.

It's sad that so many "leftists" here are super knowledgeable about politics/history yet when it comes to languages turn into complete dumb-dumbs and say stupid shit like "oH WeLl uNlEsS YoU LeArN It aS A KiD MiGhT As wElL GiVe uP hurrrrr durrrrrr!!!" It's not like CI has been some sort of hidden gem, people have used it to learn languages like Japanese for the last decade on youtube and have produced great results. Another reason why I have absolutely zero hope in the west and have resigned myself that it will become ultra fascist.

Comprehensible immersion is the key in my opinion, where you slowly build up your input ability.

My mind doesn't work that way and I really tried.

Look into comprehensible input, go to the Dreaming Spanish youtube channel and start from the super beginner playlist (or whatever it's called)

I'm finding articles and research papers from 2023 on FGF1 and diabetes mellitus.

So I guess human trials by 2100AD? 🤣 🤣 🤣

Oh I've seen this vid, it's actually really good. What really hit home for me was the little skit he does at 16:25 (until 17:45, so about a minute long). If the vid is too long for you I'd suggest you at least check out that part. It really hits the nail on the head of the issue for me, i.e. we really need to give some good dating advice to lonely young guys who are at risk of falling into right-wing pipelines.

No idea about the federation stuff, but glad you found the article useful!

I mean I could see a future scenario where youth extension is actually achieved by the rich, meaning the next step (in that particular scenario) would be to just appropriate that tech and distribute it to everyone else.

if we could treat it, we would, and then we’d call it a disease.

Bingo

Nah bro just let them die bro.... It'll be more "beautiful" that way 🤣

I'm dying.... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
