It’s not about paying, my insurance will get me back. It’s about the wait time in the emergency room. If you’re not dying they never see you until early in the morning

You see how that would be bad for the economy, right? Good for individual workers, but bad for consumers since there’s no longer a person doing some service, like I don’t know, medical care. I fell off the bike in Canada and spent 7 hours covered in blood before a nurse saw me and bandaged me up.
As an American I also had to pay $1000 USD for this (insurance will eventually refund this to me, hopefully)
You didn’t prove it had any effect. I actually learned the simplified characters and they are more confusing
fā 發 and fà 髮 now share the character 发 despite different meanings and pronunciations
Same for 亁 gān and 幹 gàn sharing the character 干
Considering mainland Chinese have no issue reading traditional characters, I don’t see how it helps
If you can’t understand something, you don’t get challenged, you just skip it. You need to be getting 98%-99% of the text to gain something from reading it
Simplified Chinese didn’t do anything. Taiwan has a higher literacy rate than mainland China while using traditional characters

Only if you understand most of it
You have no appreciation for people learning languages and how hard it is
Turning over in my head is an expression that’s also part of vocabulary, there’s no physical turning, it’s a form of speech
You can ask the AI for any reading level you want and it will do it
People reading more might actually make them better readers, Even if it’s too simple for your standards!
If they read more simple material, they would still improve their reading comprehension. Maybe even more efficiently, if it’s still challenging but not overwhelming
Yes, people reading books would be terrible
It’s a higher grade reading level. It’s not just longer, but also harder to understand for teenagers who don’t have the same vocabulary as adults
Yeah, it’s reading books that makes people dumb
The cat listens to me. It understands nothing, though
They were very smart. Ball pens messed up my wrists. I was livid when I found out it takes no pressure to write with a fountain pen
Because I don’t like the smell of cat shit anywhere outside the bathroom
Domino’s has not. Yet people criticize a few dollars delivery fee, despite Uber eats actually costing more (maybe not at first glance, but the prices in store and online are different which is worse)
Posting less is how you kill the whole idea of the fediverse
