LITTLE

YOU'D

Ahaha what a cuck! It is hilarious to me how silly he is! This is a real post!

A brief remark in response to some of the other comments in this thread though. It takes a very considerable amount of time and effort to become fluent enough in a language that it will actually help you in business, politics and the likes. I don't know the exact situation Door is in, but it sounds like it's just a basic college education where you're free to drop and take a few random classes.

If I'm right about that and this is the case, what you choose won't matter much at all. By the end of your class, you will not have more than a basic understanding of the language and you won't be anywhere near the level of being able to deal with complicated topics like business, law and politics. You'll be able to understand some things and, maybe, get around in a foreign country by relying on a limited vocabulary, but that's about it.

Point being: it's neat to learn another language, but don't make a choice based on the idea that a few years of a basic college introduction into another language will open up business prospects. If you get to that point, you'll be involved with actual translators or use a language all parties are comfortable in (which will be English). It's nice to know the basics, but unless you're fluent it's almost negligible in business practices. So pick something you think you'll like.

Thing is, I really want to become fluent in whatever I learn. I want to find a language that I find myself wanting to study and practice.

This is part of what made Latin so frustrating- I struggled to even begin studying because the material was intimidating and I couldn't find any way to apply it at my level beyond doing exercises, nor could I make it fun (my professor told me to stop trying to outsmart Latin). So I put off studying until the last minute every time, and I ended up falling behind. It was a tough chore that stressed me out, which is not at all what I expected it to be.

My hope is that, with a living language, I can find foreign imageboards and other kinds of content to immerse myself in, so that I don't have that problem. There's a whole lot of Russian and German media out there, and millions of people I can speak to, many of whom share my interests. That's just not the case with Latin.

My school offers Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian.

Of these, I feel inclined toward German just based on similarity to English, but Russian seems pretty interesting.

I dropped Latin because I couldn't handle it with the rest of my courseload, and the synthetic structure of the language made it exponentially more difficult with every new element introduced, so I was struggling to keep up with the course.

Honestly? Climate change will suck balls, but I don't think we'll actually go extinct from it. TBH, with the scientific boom we're going through right now, chances are we'll just be able to genetically modify ourselves to have gills by the time shit starts getting really bad. Personally, I think that the 21st century will see the fall of democracy. If the US is the SPQR, then this will be the century it goes full Roman Empire, which in modern terms I would assume equivocates to National Socialism. This is a very scary thought. Sure, we all like to meme about "muh hitler did nothing wrong", but it's all fun and games until these people get actual power and the Gestapo comes knocking at your door.

The fuck are you talking about.

Our democracy has become increasingly corrupt and inefficient. If things keep going the way they currently are, then people are going to get extremely fed up with it. When the normies start to go full /pol/, there's going to be hell to pay.

What does this have to do with anything?

Who gives a shit if we go extinct from Global Warming if we're going to be living in an authoritarian shithole anyway?

you'd rather be extinct than oppressed?

Industrialization was a mistake.

Somebody remind me in a bit and I'll do it too

I've said it before and I'll say it again- our political lines are being redrawn.
