They've changed it a bunch and they rely on AI more now. When I took it it was more like sentences and conversations repeated over and over. It may still be ok but I don't think it's as good as it was.

I just hung out with spanish speaking people and used duolingo (back when it was good) until I could speak and understand spanish. That way takes years though. I would recommend including structured classes for anyone who isn't an auditory learner.

Isn't that essentially minor illusion?

It's a big reason that they're all going all in on crypto. If they store the loot outside of the USD they don't care all that much if the dollar crashes. They can buy back into the dollar afterwards. Or some other currency if the whole country goes tits up.

Smedley Butler was warning us in 1935. War is a Racket .

The US used to have the Department of War. Then it split up after WWII into the departments of the army, navy, air force and the overseeing department was renamed the department of defense. Probably a branding thing.

All stories are derivative.

Avatar would be considered a "Conquering the monster" archetype. The monster being the evil corporation in this case.
