Where do ssa blacks get their grey eyes from? Or is it just some kind of depigmentation process related to old age?

If its not caused by Waardenburg syndrome or some kind of albinism its still incredibly rare so i wondered what else could be the reason.

There are multiple different polymorphism on HERC2 (and some on OCA2) that are known to cause blue eyes.
One of them (which is particularly benign) is extremely prevalent in Europe, but sporadic cases of it elsewhere are generally unrelated.
 
Btw, huskies have a completely unrelated mutation on ALX4 which also gives them blue eyes.

you know what's funny
I'm so used to photorealistic russian romantic era paintings, when I saw this photography I initially thought it's a painting
 
could it be argued that it's not really realism but rather surrealism? those paintings (think of stuff shishkin painted for example) do look better than reality

In california, it seems like every Zoomer girl wears crops tops and yoga pants. Because california is a desert climate, people are scantily dressed year round
 
I remember seeing a woman in a hijab sitting a few meters away from a basic california thot and finally recognizing that modern feminism was a mistake. There are several Muslim women who say that Western women are less free that women in Muslim countries because Western women are beholden to how men hold them attractive. This is a trope that the Niqab is "liberating" because both Ugly and Attractive women are treated equally.

I find both the ultratraditional way and the ultramodern way to be misogynistic and bad both for women and for men in the long term.
 
In the traditional way a woman is just a household item that you buy from her parents (= manufacturers) for a couple of sheeps. She has to wear some clothing that hides her features men of her culture deem sexualised (be it her hair, ankles or the entire body) so that only her husband has to see and enjoy the sight of her body. Essentially, a living sex toy slash vacuum cleaner.
 
In the modern way a woman is just a human animal bred to provide sex services to male human animals. She is raised to believe that this is freedom. The more virile men she have serviced in her life - the freer she is. Essentially men for her are living sex toys and walking wallets (those are different types of men). Her clothing is designed by "fashion industry" brands to emphasize her loose morals and promiscuous personality. She would never know love - only lust. Starting a family is on the bottom of her aspirations list. If she'd manage to do that she will put all her frustrations and psychological complexes on her husband, cheat on him with more virile men, divorce him, take their children away from him and turn them into transgender freaks to parade on her facebook.
 
I so wish that there was a sexual evolution instead of the sexual revolution, because the sexual revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Get an app like Duolingo, anki or memrise for vocabulary learning. Then get a learning book that teaches you grammar and stuff, then get easy books to read. That's the introvert's way.
You could also sign up for a course or get a teacher. Or both.
CaliforniaBernd2022-02-19 18:31:13 · 4yNo. 137275reply
Just buy a basic grammar book for your target language and download a bunch of Anki decks for that language. I recommend getting the anki deck "4000 most frequent in [insert language]", the vocab decks for whatever CEFR level you are currently on as well as the decks for the next 1-2 CEFR levels. Once you are at such a high enough level that you can understand basic writing in your TL, you can start to immerse yourself in media. Remember to always put a "price" on your media consumption (e.g. I will let myself watch this episode after 500 card repetitions).
 
It is also important to focus on "high yield grammar" at the beginning. Focus on the most important grammar constructions (these are usually the tenses, sentence structure, cases, and conjugations) and don't try to memorize all the little exceptions to grammar rules, those will come with immersion.
 
Also: don't waste your time on output too much. Studies have shown that practicing writing in your Target Language is less efficient at improving your writing than simply reading complex, grammatically difficult texts. If one wants to get better at writing in a second language, one must reading complex, challenging texts rather than practicing your own writing.
 
duolingo is a corporate language game that tries to get you to watch ads, not learn a language. It's not a good resource. It is much better to use a flashcard app and then immerse yourself in comprehensible input (listening to radio, browing the internet, reading books in your TL) than using Duolingo. Besides, it is much more enjoyable that way. I recommend learning about whatever culture you language comes from by reading books and articles about said culture. I enjoy reading about the Baltic Germans in German to practice input (see pic rel.)
 
Uni courses are a mixed bag. If you are learning a language radically different from your native language (In OP's case, any non-Indo European language) it is worth it, otherwise, don't waste your time. The "red languages" on the map in pic rel might be worth taking a uni course for. If you set aside chunked time every day, it is easy to stay disciplined. In my case, I usually do an hour of Anki repetitions at the end of the day, before I go to bed (humans remember things better when the learn them right before sleep).
 
I am currently learning German by reading the book "German: an essential grammar" and doing the anki decks "Goethe A1", "Goethe A2", "Goethe B1" as well as "German: 4000 words by freqency". This totals out to around 80 new words per day and 560 new words per week and requires 1 hr a day for vocab and ~30 mins for grammar study. I allow myself to browse /deutsch/ and /r/De after I have completed my anki study. If I come across a German word that I don't know on the internet, I deepl translate it and repeat it in my head until I have memorized it.

I forgot to add, all languages are inseparable from culture. The way that we speak influences the way that we think (see: the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis). Likewise, the way that a group of people speaks influences the way that they think as a whole. Even conlangs languages like Esperanto have their own (sub)cultures (e.g. Esperantujo). Choose a language whose culture interests you, and you will always have intrinsic motivation. If you are learning a language just for personal gain (e.g. wanting to put in on a resume) rather than an actual interest, you will likely quit when learning gets hard.
 
Additionally, learning the culture and custmos of your TL helps you view the language from a wider perspective. Languages are dynamic tools that are deeply connected to their role in their community of speakers. The role in which a language is used influences the very core of the language itself. For instance, Biblical and liturgical Hebrew don't have words for "sex" on purpose, as they were considered holy languages.
 
In my case, I read several books about German culture and customs to see how the German language is used in German society.
