Do you know if there are, or if there are plans for a “new” Turing test ?

Sooooo you just called yourself a NPC ?

Had a bit of fun with weird proverbs with coworkers today, two that stayed :

The one who swallow a coconut, has complete trust in his anus.

Don’t pretend to be a tiger when you’re a kitten.

Not really on theme, but the first one will often get a chuckle out of people without having to be on a pillow.

We tried to warn you all but oh dear

Well, shutting you up was that easy, who would have guessed.

“Academic philosopher Michael V. Antony (2010) argued that despite the use of Hitchens’s razor to reject religious belief and to support atheism, applying the razor to atheism itself would seem to imply that atheism is epistemically unjustified. According to Antony, the New Atheists (to whom Hitchens also belonged) invoke a number of special arguments purporting to show that atheism can in fact be asserted without evidence.”

If only you could read, maybe you’d be more tolerant, but I doubt it, sigh.

Numerous studies have proven that WFH is better for production, morale of the worker, and then the plethora of perks that comes with not having to go to work.

It doesn’t make your point null, but you’re more or less just the exception that confirms the rule.

I see, it does make sense but there’s an argument to be made about obscuring things like that (not in the case of aikido tho, here it’s more of a “practical translation” of sort, and how it has always been passed down), which is why I said I can’t take it seriously.

But you’re right that if it profits OP, good for them, it’s a bit like religion in that sense.

Thanks for the precision

The way this is written is clearly intended to speak about energy of people, and some that steal it, like you’d steal a candy on your coworker desk, for example.

Which, oof, I just can’t take it seriously right from the start.

And then there’s the gross generalization of people and how they act, but that’s a more common trope, which can sometimes be partly true at least but meh.

“stealing energy” Oof

For those who would be looking, like I just did The Young Dads - Existential Crisis

You keep telling yourself that while we stay more open Skipper

Even if your point is right, which I don’t know and don’t care, why even try to make it ?

What discussion are you furthering with that ?

Why spend the effort ?

And I’m not using anything not available to app users, unless you’re using IOS but at this point, I think you have others problems to worry about experience wise overall

You get streak freezes for free now (through quests), relatively often even, I generally get them back in two days if I use both of them in a weekend because I’m busy.

I really considered subscribing until I started using it on Firefox because of the ads, without the ads it’s a great free experience imo

Privacy Badger and ublock origin here, never ever got an ad on Firefox

No, they don’t punish typos, to the point I sometimes have mistakes counted as typos (I distinctly remember typing Schwimmt instead of schwimmst the other day and it said Be careful typos, but counted it right, end up having to check with my gf in those cases)

I don’t know why the experience seems so different between people, maybe it actually is, maybe it’s expectations. All in all it’s free, I don’t forget that and through Firefox android I get a very good experience.

Can’t speak for the entshitification but actively punished unsubscribed users?

I’ve been using it for two months, learning Germans, I just use Firefox in android instead of the app and I get no ads, only 5 failures but I rarely reach that on a daily basis (I don’t want to burnout and I’m pretty sure it’s better for learning to not go too fast) and if I ever reach it, I currently have 1k gems. I’m actually surprised at how little use I’d get out of the subscription.

Story telling I’d ask them to improvise or use known stories to give me examples, I now have stories for a lifetime
