2018-12-10 at 5:43 PM UTC in What language should I learn?

You know, I think Latin would be a great language to learn. I really wanted to learn Latin because of my love, and passion for medicine. My mind isn't what it used to be memory wise, but I do have a bit of a grasp on some shit, and being able to figure it's meaning. Di- two, mono-one, poly-many, more than two, hema/hemp-blood, nephro-kidney, zero-dry, xeno- foreign, and so forth. I've probably forgot more than I remember regarding this shit, but I definitely do enjoy learning where I can about how words form, and meanings behind shit,and how it all links together. Hell, like the shit I have: osteomyelitis, breaking it apart, osteo- bone, myelitis- infection of the marrow (or spine). It's pretty cool. It's a good system too, imo. If I'm an English speaking doctor, and I have to transfer or deal with a patient being handed over to me, or collaborate with a foreign doctor, even if they speak another language, we at least can be on the same page regarding what's going on, and/or previous diagnosis' that patient has had or currently had. If I say "take this drug BID" then it's easy to see that they should be taking X drug 2 times a day as BID stand for the Latin phrase "bis in die". So even if we don't understand each others language, we can understand Latin in medical terminology. I imagine it would be especially important for emergency situations where one can't just shit out a translator on the spot, in the rare cases where a patient is in critical condition and being transfered to another hospital that doesn't speak the language of the hospital or doctor the patient originated from.
Anywho, who else wants to learn another language? What language and why? What do you think the hardest language would be to learn for YOU specifically?
I'll be honest, I'm not linguistically gifted as others here are,though I do admire and appreciate others who are bi (see, two!) or multi lingual,or those who strive and achieve learning other languages besides their native tongue.
I honestly think the best way to learn a new language is to just be plopped into a place that speaks that language. You'll have to sink or swim just to survive, so definitely more pressure and incentive to learn it, so I'd think if that's all you hear day in and day out, you're bound to pick it up rather fast. I'd personally prefer this method versus the alternative of being in a classroom, or even online shit. It's just too easy to just give up, where if you're depending on buying food, a calling card, or need to use the bathroom, you're bound to figure out how to communicate with people to get what you need, figure out directions, or find a public toilet.
Anyone disagree? If so, what learning style do you think is the best way to learn a foreign language?
latin is a great language, let's start a latin club -

Originally posted by gadzooks The whole fentanyl thing is what makes it a crisis.
I'll be the first person in a room to start arguing for how harmless heroin is (NOT ACCOUNTING FOR ADDICTION AND A VARIETY OF OTHER PROBLEMS).
But the introduction of fentanyl into heroin, and even other drugs in some locations, has resulted in a serious crisis.
I'd call it a "fentanyl crisis" though, or an "impurities in drugs on the black market crisis".
It's time they legalize them all, and create a set of quality standards like the FDA.
Then, the so-called 'opiate crisis' will be over.
Or, at least, no worse than the 'meth crisis' or 'cocaine crisis', etc.
legalize opium, no one will even care about heroin. would really like to just throw a little opium in a bowl of weed.
but that's basically free painkillers and cuts out billions and billions of dollars
I mean, you'd still have needle freak junkies shooting grams of skag into their eyeballs but a huge swath of opiate users would be well served by just having their own opium garden. no more withdrawals either, just go for a walk and make sure to smell the flowers. -

But yeah they're probably just making it up. You fucking retard, you're delusional as fuck. I have never met a grown adult who was as jaw-droppingly absent minded as you. Learn to think for yourself instead of buying into whatever conspiracy the 6ft nigger down the street sticks up your ass.
are you really going to trust the CDC? don't be a rube. -

Just like how you was talking yesterday about being stuck in a strange city. Fucking hell get real you stupid little boy. You don't know shit about this world.

you're a dumb faggot that can barely speak properly and likes to flex about having lived past 30, as if that's something worthy of respect in the era of modern medicine. -

its about a lot of things. reminds me a lot of the very early days of occupy, when you had open jedi haters, libertarians, marxists, and all sorts of freaks yelling about banks. occupy was definitely more astroturfed, but a lot of similarities in the general discontent, lack of leaders, contradictory "manifestos" somehow made by this leaderless dissident movement.
to focus too much on these particular riots and protests and what it means probably misses the point, taken in the context with the general trend of austerity, banker bailouts, mass migration, endless war, predatory capitalism, stagnant wages, cultural homogenization(everyone knows that "diversity" is a way for corporations to sell useless shit to a grey-goo monoculture, right), decaying infrastructure, decaying social mores and values, a general ambivalence and malaise that makes sure the black iron prison is suffering for even the most "privileged" - all of this says a spiral out of control.
things only escalate from here. this particular protests may fizzle out, but the general sentiment remains. things are going to get very dicey for everyone, the "global order", the financial, legal, and even philosophical basis for the status quo is being attacked from all sides. this breakdown of the highly complex and fragile system that makes most everything about the modern world isn't going to be apocalyptic (unfortunately) but it's not going to be pretty. I could see many bigger countries (US, China, Germany, France, UK, Russia) breaking up into several smaller, regional countries, with varying levels of allegiance to each other. A lot of places fighting for independence might be able to get it because there is just not enough resources to deal with it.
that's all speculation and nonsense but here's the facts: more unrest and uncertainty. There's nothing the "rulers" can even do. Look at the supposed "demands", they are totally contradictory - they want less taxes and more money spent on social services. But of course, most people are not accountants or financiers and didn't go to a fancy school full of jedis that tell you what economics is. They have a very simple position: we are giving too much and not getting enough. Less taxes and more social services seems like an economically 1lliterate position to bureaucratic bean counters, but this is not about the specifics. The average person gives more and more and gets less and less. The people that govern you don't even pretend to respect you. You're just a serf class to pay for the banker casino.
so what I'm saying is, solidarity with the yellow vests, burn paris, burn berlin, burn brussels, burn london, let every capital burn -
