This is awkward. Looks like a foreign DPR guerilla is now a U.S. Army serviceman.

In other news, Czech prime minister Sobotka plans to submit resignation of his government, because his finance minister Babiš is suspected of tax fraud and other financial crimes. What I found interesting - Sobotka was originally expected to remove only his finance minister. But because Babiš is currently leading most popular political party, it would only help him and turn him into a martyr. At least that was how prime minister justified resignation of a whole government. But it's probably too late anyway. Dwesa fucked around with this message at 16:40 on May 2, 2017 |

To just be a basic infantryman in the US Army you only need to be healthy and an American (or pledge to become one). They can say all the crap they want about "investigating" your background for criminal stuff, but they really just want killers.

Fellow goons, here is your chance to change the fate of Hungary. The latest "national consultation" run by our magnificent government can be done online. This is the STOP BRUSSELES campagin which is against... god knows what at this point. Questions 3. and 4. are basically "SOROS IS TRYING TO DESTROY YOUR COUNTRY BY BRINIGN ILLEGAL IMMIGRUNTS INTO THE COUNTRY" type of thing. First option is always the Paragon answer, second is the Renegade one. I mean first is agreeing with the government, second is is saying you are an evil gay jew who helps ILLEGAL IMMIGRUNTS run rampant in our country. Follow your hearts goons. Oh yeah the whole thing has no checks apart from a recaptcha, only limitation is you can only answer once from a single email address.... but the email address doesn't have to be real. (No activation or confirmation whatsoever.) You can do as many as you want from a single IP. Enjoy: https://nemzetikonzultacio.kormany.hu/ the fate of a country is in your hands. Illiberal Democracy shall prevail! Edit: Don't actually go and do it. Altho according to the government 600k Hungarians already sent their forms by fuckin surface post and the result will be in favour of the government anyway. Just wanted to point out the bullshit that's happening in this country. with a rebel yell she QQd fucked around with this message at 12:59 on May 3, 2017 |

My old Russian teacher used to tell the story how as a kid she used to have a secret language with her friend that was just them always stressing the first syllable and that that apparently made what they said nigh incomprehensible to everyone else.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Technically what you remember is possible, in limited number of instances where two words are spelt the same way, but stressed differently. However, you can still figure out the context, whether if someone has said "I did drink vodka" or "I did a saw vodka". One thing I like about Russian is I just need to get all the words for a sentence out of my mouth. The actual order of the words doesn't matter.

SaltyJesus posted:You'd be surprised, Russian and Bulgarian have weird vowel reductions on unstressed syllables that weird me out. 1 grapheme = 1 phoneme supremacy, you barbarians This part is easy though. You just convert every unstressed vowel to a schwa and it's close enough.

For real though, Ukrainian authorities are getting ridiculous recently. I'm all for their strives for greater independence and self-determination, but suing people with one year left to live and holding full vendetta against celebrities is crossing it into the silly territory.

In Russian, the difference between "I am drinking water" and "I am drinking in Hell" is a single letter (o vs a in the right place). The language has a lot of funny things like that.
