I know this might sound like a really non-efficient thing to do, but you can individually unfollow every single one of your contacts. I only have around ~200 friends so unfollowing them wasn't that hard. Nowadays, I love going to Faceb

I do not have a good defence as to why I have an accent, but I'll try to clarify my position. Yes, it is true that you can get rid of an accent, and that you can overcome certain limitations that arise out of the 'state of affairs

My mother tongue is Spanish, my second tongue is English and my third tongue is French. I grew up in Quebec and there were two greek guys who made fun of me for not being able to pronounce 'sheep' (in English) properly.

Life is unfair. As a person with an accent, I am very well aware that I will be judged by it. Just like fat people are judged for being fat, or stupid people for being stupid. Yet, I have found solace in the ideas brought forward by thinker

I hope others can help too, but I noticed that your sentences sound a little bit off. They seem directly translated from Spanish. Here are some examples: My principal goal (Mi principal objetivo)[My main goal] not the money (no es el dinero

Racism against Asians in North America is really puzzling. It is excessively common to hear female acquaintances, even asian ones, say that they would never date an asian guy. Compound this with comments that belittle asians in movies, TV s

If I were in your position I would: 1) Calm down. 2) Gather information. More specifically, if you know a doctor, contact said doctor. If you can't, find a way to meet with a physician as soon as possible and get a second opinion. Get

It is not a masterpiece. In terms of use of language, it is just really that good. Neruda and Garcia Marquez are Nobel winners, and they are obviously better literally speaking. But the dude that wrote La sombre del viento knows how to use

Sure no harm in that. Also, some translations are really great, and you can sense the style of the original authors through them. Yet, there is something about those particular books that just has to be said in their respective language. No

Hemingway gets me there too, now that my English doesn't suck. Shakespeare is just really, really funny. Much ado about nothing is my favourite comedy. Other plays like Hamlet, MacBeth, humble me. Same thing with Cervantes. Those guys

I am a firm believer that one should spend at least 10 or 20 years learning French and then read Les Miserables and Le Compte de Monte-Cristo. The same could be said about La sombra del viento, 100 años de soledad or Neruda's poems in

Could you clarify what you mean by 'attitude problems'? I assume something like 'unwillingness to learn new things and admit mistakes, etc' but I'd like to know an employers point of view.

It is subsidized in the sense that local (Quebec students) pay less than Canadian students and significantly less than international students.

so, um, as someone who has considered entering into a bootcamp program, I have a question: Why are there so expensive? (10k is more than what I am paying for my BSc degree at McGill)

I find these types of headlines very clever: it's click-bait, for sure, but you and I clicked it because we honestly thought there was some sort of nasty exploit out there. Linux is not safe from exploits or hacks but it wants you to b

I live with my mom and my sister and do the cleaning, cook daily for our lunch and dinner, sweep and mop the floor, buy groceries, handle bills, etc. Most of the people that I know that live at home do the same. How exactly are we mooching

As I told another user, I am very aware that my position is a minority position, and I must deduce that most people can in fact see a difference (there is no reason for everyone is this thread to lie to a complete stranger for no apparent r

Thanks for your comment. I'll simply say that I am glad that you can see the difference, I acknowledge that there is a difference for you and for the majority of people out there, and it just so happens that for me, even after carefull

Say, why is the population of Andean countries (Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolovia) so high in natives and 'mestizos' compared with North American countries? The disease hypothesis puzzles me because it cannot explain the reality of

What you are really saying is that we should held people accountable for their own choices and, as a society, attempt to help those who cannot make those choices. I agree, to an extend, but the reality is that there are a series of factors,
