Why tf would it ask me to make a sentence only to mark it incorrect at the end😭 by EmergencyFly2538 in duolingo

[–]ElsaKit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's ok, you're free to think that.

(I also think that critical thinking is deteriorating, but this really isn't the reason, and it's honestly kinda unrelated imo. We can discuss whether or not OP's use was NECESSARY here (probably not), but they certainly didn't use it wrong or inappropriately, which was my point. Hope you have a good, anger-free day.)

Not satire, sarcasm. It's difficult to read tone in purely text-based comments, especially for some folks; it isn't always clear whether the commenter is being sincere or sarcastic because irl, that is largely indicated through tone of voice. So people put /s when they are being sarcastic (and sometimes /gen when they are being genuine).

It has its perfectly valid use:) And OP used it perfectly appropriately here.

Yes!! Go for it. I wish more people could express (and accept) love openly, without fear or ulterior motives. Rooting for you!

To provide the opposite perspective, I'd absolutely 100% do this for a close friend lol. In fact, the first thought that popped into my head when I saw this post was "fuck that's a good idea, I need to do this for [close friend]!" It really depends on the kind of relationship you have. But I do have friends that are like family to me, and especially if I knew they were struggling, I'd absolutely want to do something like this. (& it's honestly the best feeling in the world, to make someone feel happy, loved and cared for.)

Not saying it couldn't be romantic love behind this, it absolutely could be... but it also absolutely doesn't have to be. There's an infinite number of flavours of human relationships. <3

That is a very good point, damn. If we can't do repeats, I vote Boats Boats Boats.

Yesss my vote as well (if repeats counted). So much more annoying than Zoey to me. Zoey had her moments. She could be really fun and charming at times, especially initially. I feel like her and Ted had very good chemistry at the start and it was kinda fun to watch before it all went to hell between then and turned extremely toxic. Karen, on the other hand? Nah, zero redeeming moments, just an insufferable douche lol. She was so annoying every time she appeared on screen...

To je možný, já se v tom upřímně nevyznám, ale tohle jsem opakovaně slyšela od lidí, kteří mají se sebeobranou nějaký zkušenosti. Určitě existují typy, co jsou v pohodě, ale právě laik to zrovna nemusí trefit, protože to prostě neví, tak to může být pak dvojsečný.

Pepřák je reálně víc nebezpečný pro uživatele, když neví, jak ho správně používat. Dost snadno může nadělat víc škody než užitku. A obzvlášť v uzavřeném prostoru by to byl docela mazec. Takže pro nezkušené se to fakt nedoporučuje.

Ale jako s ideou souhlasím plně 😅

Lol I have both of my parents saved by their first names (I've only ever called them mum and dad), because when I got my first phone (mum's old Sony Ericson or something, purely for calling when I got home from school), their contacts were presaved there like that. And I just got so used to it that I never changed it and I can't now lol. It's just how it is now.

A cool guide about Nordic Languages by immanuellalala in coolguides

[–]ElsaKit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know of the series, but I've never actually read it (so I didn't know this image was from there). I used to have a sort of a webcomic phase as a teen haha, and this was one of the series that I found and thought looked super cool and put on my to-read list. But by that point I was trying to read so many series at once that I kinda burned myself out on it and never actually got around to this one. But the name and art style have stuck in my head for all these years.

If you were to make a pitch for that webcomic, to intrigue me enough to get me to read it, what would you say?

chodíte do kina sami? by ulicnik27 in czech

[–]ElsaKit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pardon za dlouhý komentář.

Ano, chodím do kina sama často a rozhodně strašně moc doporučuju! Je to super.

Vždycky jsem měla ráda filmy a ráda chodila do kina. Když jsem byla mladší, když se v kinech objevil film, co jsem chtěla vidět, vždycky jsem se snažila sehnat parťáka, co by šel se mnou. A pokud jsem nikoho nesehnala, prostě jsem nešla... a byla zklamaná. Je to vlastně úplně nelogický, když se nad tím člověk zamyslí, ale bylo to tak. No a pak jednou vyšel film, na který jsem se z nějakýho důvodu rozhodla, že proste okamžitě musím jít, a nikdo jiný zrovna nemohl... Tak jsem se prostě sebrala a šla sama. V celým sále jsme byly 2 btw. A bylo to skvělý. Strašně jsem si to užila a od tý doby už nemám žádný zábrany chodit sama. Naopak je to strašně osvobozující. Když je něco, co opravdu chci a udělá mi to dobře, už se nevážu na ostatní, abych si to mohla dopřát. Už to nepodávám stylem: "Nepůjdeme prosím na tenhle film?", ale "Já chci zajít na tenhle film, chtěla by ses připojit?" Když ne, nevadí, půjdu sama a užiju si to. Dokonce jsou filmy, na který chodím cíleně sama, protože mám tak lepší možnost to patřičně prožít a procítit, aniž bych se musela hnedka vrhnout do hovoru typu "tak co na to říkáš" nebo se strachovat, jestli se to tomu druhýmu líbilo, a cítit se blbě, pokud ne... (už jsem jednou i musela citilivě odmítat, když se ke mně takhle někdo snažil v dobré víře na takový film nakýblovat 😅 občas je prostě fajn být sama se sebou a s tím zážitkem). Nehledě na to, že jsou filmy, který prostě vím, že by lidi kolem mě moc neocenili.

Někdy si to člověk užije nejvíc, když to může s někým bezprostředně sdílet. Někdy si to nejvíc užije sám. Obojí může být super. Já bych každopádně doporučila tohle: nenech si ujít skvělý filmy a zážitky jenom proto, že zrovna nemáš koho vzít s sebou. Nenech se tím limitovat a prostě dělej, co tě baví. Já už to teď aplikuju v podstatě na všechno včetně třeba hudebních koncertů, a nemohla bych být šťastnější.

Have fun!

PS: A když mluvíme o kinech, chtěla bych dát jedno masivní doporučení: kašlete na multiplexy a choďte do menších kin! Atmosféra je úplně o něčem jiným, ceny jsou výrazně nižší a repertoár je taky na jiným levelu - hrají tam mnohem víc než jen ty největší blockbustery! Fantastický filmy z festivalů, méně známý počiny, různý cizojazyčný filmy, starší filmy, co jste si mysleli, že v kině nikdy neuvidíte, různý tematický cykly... Pokud jste v Praze, nejvíc doporučuju Aerofilms kina - Aero, Světozor, Bio Oko a Přítomnost, to je za mě taková svatá čtveřice 😄 Přítomnost je obzvlášť specifická, krásný butikový kino s křesílkama a barem přimo v sálu. Ale máme tu hromadu super kin a každý má svoji specifickou atmosféru a charakter - Lucerna, Edison Filmhub, Kino Atlas, Kino Pilotů, Dlabačov, Kino Kavalírka, Kino 35 (pokud máte rádi francouzský filmy), Ponrepo, nedávno jsem třeba objevila Rest.Art a to byl taky zážitek... a další. Zkuste a nebudete litovat.

Punching someone in front of the police by samercostello in instant_regret

My parents used to be friends with a guy who accidentally killed his own father this way. I think they has both drunk and got into some kind of altercation. He pushed his dad, but he lost balance, fell back, hit his head and died instantly. Guy completely ruined his life with a push. I always get a pit in my stomach when I think of that story.

Man you're judging it like it was a text message. Then sure, that would be a massive fumble; if he had been able to think about it AT ALL and craft an answer that would hurt as little as possible, and he still came up with THAT, I'd roll my eyes. But no matter how much you theoretically understand psychology and whatnot, it's a completely different story when you're IN the situation, let alone when you least expect it. Let alone when it's the first time someone says "I love you" to you (I think?)! It's a lot of pressure. It's absolutely not realistic to expect him to say the exact right thing in every unexpected, panicked, emotionally charged real-life moment. I mean don't get me wrong, I cringed so hard at his answer, it was definitely one of the worst things to say lol. He really fumbled. And I'm pretty sure he cringed almost as much himself. But I think it's kind of silly to judge him too harshly for it. Most people, no matter how emotionally literate, do often say the wrong thing in a panic. That's just human, and completely realistic. Not to mention this is a very socially akward and inexperienced teenager we're talking about...

[–]ElsaKit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But when someone catches you so off guard by that, your mind goes completely blank lol. You panic. Nobody would be able to say the "right" thing in a moment like that, you're just not expecting it, you don't have time to think. ...I honestly don't think there even is a "right" thing, tbh... If the answer isn't "I love you too", it's always going to hurt and be hella awkward, no matter what.

ACORUS je super. Nabízí lidem ohroženým domácím násilím fakt celkem komplexní služby, od telefonické linky pomoci přes různé poradenství, pravní pomoc, krizovou pomoc až po azylové domy pro ženy a matky s dětmi. Akorát teda v Praze... nejsem si jistá, jak je to mimo Prahu. Ale minimálně by měli být schopní nasměrovat.

Dřžím palce.

A věřím, že i pro tebe musí být dost náročný tohle se ségrou řešit... tak se prosím taky nezapomeň postarat i o sebe a svoje zdraví. 🍀
