technically yes, but my comment wasn’t meant as a moral indictment against you :)

just a heads up: learning a new language is an amazing experience, just consider alternatives to duolingo first

remember: none of the metrics duolingo keeps track of have anything to do with language proficiency. it’s a game not a learning tool.

yes: duolingo > doing nothing
but: any alternative learning method > duolingo

they stay relevant through viral marketing, that is often objectively funny, not through efficacy. the idea is that if you want to learn a language, your first thought is to use duolingo. then if it fails, you blame yourself: it cannot be the case that the most famous language-learning product doesn‘t actually help you learn a language.

Never heard of carnivorous chairs? They will outrun you.

As a woman you have to be a virgin until marriage, but in your 50s, when your marriage is sagging, you get to be a femme fatale. You get to break as many twenty-year-olds hearts over your metaphorical knees as you want, really make them feel that precious experience. Circle closed. Good deal for all involved.

In 99 he came out and now he is LGBT. It says so in the meme.

Where in my comment does it say I like Russia? Accusing people that are against war and in favor of negotiated settlement of being in cahoots with the enemy is as old as writing.

It’s called cognitive dissonance, the less your worldview makes sense the more tiresome it becomes to hear counter arguments. You used to be able to just dismiss them as „russian trolls“ but now that doesn’t feel right anymore, you feel like you actually have to engage, and this takes energy. Much easier to just shut it out completely, just take comfort in your personal bubble, and only engage with straw men arguments, the ones that are obviously wrong (and hence not used by anyone).

Have fun in your bubble, have fun believing that Russia is gonna collapse any day now for the coming 8 years, the 57th nuclear sanctions package is really gonna do it, have fun believing that the army that spent 4 years taking Sheviakivka is gonna be in Berlin the week after, have fun thinking the people that sold you the Gaza genocide have the best intentions when they say war is the only answer in Ukraine, wish you all the best.
