I am at a 970 day streak. I must continue to a 1000. But 30 days from now, I will completely delete that app from my phone and never look back.
I’d like to say it’s completely worthless, but that would be a lie. It’s a nice, easy introduction into language learning, but you’re not actually learning a lot.
The thing that bothers me most is their predatory attention seeking. Changing their app icon into annoying figures every day. Sending push notification where they literally beg you to practice your language. Pulling you in with stupid rewards and threatening you with deducting imaginary points.
It is so toxic that i’d rather watch casa de papel to learn spanish. I might actually still do that if I wasn’t learning spanish. It’s a good show.

Haven’t had a problem with it. Life’s expensive, I couldn’t afford anything, but I still can’t and I don’t think I would’ve otherwise.
I dropped out of collge at 23 and didn’t know what to do with my life. So took a job in a factory and we had a kid.
Now I’m 35 and I’m older, wiser, better. And I’m now finishing my bachelor and starting my career as a software developer. All while many other software developers my age are dropping out because of burn out or bore out.
I’d argue it’s much more fun to figure out parenthood while you’re young and relatively free with plenty of time and energy for your kid. than to figure out parenthood when you’re older, more tired and have to work a demanding career.

This joke doesn’t work in The Netherlands, because on The Netherlands (and I guess we’re not alone) we just order a “cola”. So if the bar only serves Pepsi, that’s their choice.

I’m not American, but my uneducated ass believes America is basically a theocracy. The president has to pretend that he does everything in the name of god, you have to swear your official vows on the bible, every hotel has a bible, every child in school has to pray to the god-emperor every morning, your money says “in god we trust”, your churches are payed for by tax-evasion.
So then, what renains to be the difference between “state run” and “church run” benefits really?

I would like a guest pass. I frequently watch Practical Engineeringom YT and Brady mentions Nebula a lot. I intended to check it out, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
- Comment on What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence? 3 weeks ago:
I disagree, there are rules and structure to religion.
Believing in ghosts is not based on fact. But you wouldn’t call that religion.
Numerology is not a religion. It does have rules, but it is not organised and it doesn’t have a central authority. It is absolutely based on faith though.

It’s fine to give points for “extra work”, but the regular work should give you a passing grade at least. The extra work should maybe give you the difference between a 6 or an 8.

- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, politics isn’t a binary system. It’s a spectrum. There’s multiple dimensions. For each of them you can have your own opinion. I dare say there are no two people with identical political profiles.
Some dimensions are (source chatgpt):
- Left / Right
- Authoritarian / Libertarian
- Progressive / Conservative
- Globalist / Nationalist
- Populist / Elitist
- Revolutionary / Reformist
- Environmental (Ecologist) / Industrial (Productivist)
- Rationalist / Romantic

I’ve worked in factory where my responsibility was to watch a machine that needed intervention at most once per shift. I perfected the art of paper plane folding.
