Duolingo for talking to children

That's insane!

Gross

The part you remember was not about eating the animal due to hunger. He was observing that when he was away from "civilization" for long enough he noticed that he started to think in a more primal way. In that case, it was tearing a squirrel to shreds raw with his teeth! (or something) :)

Looked up "cromulent" in the dictionary. Wasn't disappointed!!

He didn't write "like it's life or death"! Most of the book are meditations on nature and descriptions of landscape. If that's what you came away with then you missed the point.

The chances of a deal are said to be weeks away, if not non-existent.

What kind of non-sentence is that?

Read Walden by Thoreau

Flat Earthers aren't real

Perhaps so. I'm in the US where lingo goes that "Democrats" & "Liberals" are "left", " Republicans" & "Conservatives" are "right".

Not sure how that translates globally, so apologies if it's confusing...

Lol!!!! No, no, no!! My centrism is not arbitrary!! I don't try to find a "middle ground" where waterfalls go both ways!!! Love the visual though!

I align with the political right on some issues, and the left with others. And in American politics I find the rhetoric & tribalism of both political parties ridiculous - so I can't identify with either.

Generally I lean left of center, but I can't go "full left" because I think the left has some blind spots. And liberals do this annoying thing where they seem to be always be falling all over themselves to prove how self-righteous & progressive they are, & they wind up alienating left-leaning people like me as a result.
