How can I hug some penguins. Brookfield zoo told me I can't unless I paid for a private visit or was a donator and had to attend donator events.
I just want to hug a penguin, how can I make this happen?

Anyone who disagrees with this hasn't had to study 5 languages. In my school we had to pick from 1/3 languages. Later they offered a forth. But you had to take 1 year of each. So I did. Fuck that.
Its always easier to speak your native language. You are born in and around it. You pick up sounds and words and start associating things with words. Then you get the big picture.
A "Learning" language is no different. You are still pulling what you know and try associating words to words.
The few biggest issues with going from language to language is structure. Every language structures sentences differently. And also how we talk.
Example.
Japanese. To introduce yourself you would say "Watashi wa Dagu Kun," where the English meaning is I am called Dagu(Doug). But we would say in English "I am Doug."
You can put one word to another. But language isn't easy. Especially with how screwed up English is in comparison to every other foreign language.
In my mind your second language suffers because most people have to think using word association and it slows down the flow of talking.

So... You about that legalization of cannabis? I think you'll find a lot of support with /r/trees & /r/elderents with supporting federal legalization. Even at a state choice level you would help grow economies much like Washington, Oregon, Colorado and for D.C. our Nation's capital. Yet, Iowa and many other small population states are held back, when this would only help grow populations in area where it was legalized. It also creates jobs. Throws more money into the economy.
I'm sure you have seen both sides.
But I want to know what your stand is behind legalization or marijuana, and how you plan on dealing with the war on drugs?
