I genuinely can’t fathom why this number should be bigger. What am I supposed to take away from this knowledge? Far as I’m concerned, Valve is still a rare comparative good guy in the dense-packed field of bad guys in industry
This is such a weird performative thing, why are we pretending kids are speaking some incomprehensible foreign language? Aside from a couple pieces of really specific slang, most of which is only ever used ironically anyway (I’m looking at you, “skibidi”), it’s the exact same evolution of language and slang as every other previous generation before it, just perhaps with a wider spread and more global influence. And almost all of it can be deciphered with little effort: Rizz = ChaRISma, Gyatt = GYATTdamn (goddamn), etc.
Like I know we’re all eventually going to become the next generation of boomers, such is the curse of time, but jesus christ y’all don’t have to fucking speedrun to that conclusion.
I don’t know about you, but personally I always planned to be better to the generation that followed me than the generation that preceded mine was to us.
Yeah fuck me for enjoying music, right?

Yes, and I have. This solves me the personal grief of being reminded of their bad practices but does nothing to actually solve the problem. Not that I think “awareness” is a great or in anyway meaningful solve, but if talking about the issue leads to a few other people also blocking Duolingo then at least I won’t feel like I am forced to merely accept the situation as is with no protest.
I’m not saying OP is a shill, I’m saying that Duolingo manufactured the “Duo is coming to get you” meme intentionally, and people are happy to be stooges so happily accepted it. I don’t think OP has any affiliation to Duolingo, but they’re still normalizing their stupid trend so they can continue to leave meme comments on individual pages and get free advertising. It sucks.
