It Is Done (enough)!

Took me a minute because at first I was like "why did they edit what he said? Does he not say that in the original clip?" And had to remember that he Infact did not say that and fandom is controlling my mind again

I've been thinking about this for a hot minute. I first used Duolingo for learning Spanish, and recently I started learning japanese

Now one thing I've been told many times by others learning the language is that the grammar was horrible, and as soon as I got to a point where it tried to teach grammar... Absolutly it does kinda suck (the apps grammar, not the languages grammar). I will say I loved learning kana on it because it taught kana in a way that made it super easy for me to memorize. But that's literally all you can use it for

Which brings me to my main point; why would you make an app literally useless. Like, kana is important to learn, but that's just the alphabet, so why is the main focus of the app - language learning - unusable?

On top of this, I read a Reddit post made by someone who used the app for Japanese, and they admitted that the forums were actually a significant part of being able to use the app, because others using the forums would correct mistakes made by the app. Why would you take away a part of the app that is literally helping people learn the language. Which is. The entire point of the app. What.

It isn't about actually helping people anymore and I hate it

If anyone was wondering, Duolingo just got even worse.

The physical restraint to not just start finishing this fursuit is insane

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

WRITE IT ANYWAY!!! EVEN IF YOU DONT THINK YOURE GOOD ENOUGH!!! WRITE!!! IT!!!! ANYWAY!!!!!!!

“Emotional abuse works like this: You are screamed at, and then, not knowing any better, you stand up for yourself. You think this is a way of being strong. You think this is a defense tactic.But this only provokes more screaming. Going silent provokes more screaming too, but usually it keeps the threats to the minimum. It keeps it just at screaming and not: a shove down the stairs, or order to pack your stuff and get out. So you learn how to go silent. How to play dead. How to cry without making a noise. How to swallow noise. How to wipe your cheeks, get out of the car, and go about your day. You learn. And when the screaming has stopped, when the two of you are in the car or out to dinner and they’re all smiles, all asking for favors, all questions, you are still hurt and annoyed and want to ask them, how? How can you speak to me like that? How can you pretend you did not say those things? How can you have forgotten? But you’ve learned. So you listen to, “Can I borrow your key”s and “how was your day”s and you play dead. You swallow the noise. And sometimes it doesn’t matter who is speaking to you, it doesn’t matter if they’re a friend, it doesn’t matter if their criticism is constructive, it doesn’t matter. You’ve learned. Any sort of speaking, any raising of the voice, any insult and you play dead.”
