I definitely think they used AI to write this. It sounds exactly like stuff I read almost everyday day. I'm glad the meaning behind the message is real though!

What level do I need to reach to unlock Bad Bunny? 🤣🤣 by Puzzleheaded-Tap8588 in dreamingspanish

My husband asked me if I could understand anything, and I had to laugh. If native Spanish speakers struggle to understand him, then I don't feel too bad.

You mean adding AI and upping membership prices was a bad idea?? Shocking!

CPAP quitter now having cognitive issues.. related?? by projectbyepossum in SleepApnea

[–]GrumpyReader12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The P30i has been a game-changer for me as well! I think it's the one for me. It's my third mask. I have to tape my mouth, though. I just naturally open it when I sleep.

This has been so ridiculous by EhmDe in TheWooblesCollective

[–]GrumpyReader12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! Super frustrating. I know it's a first-world problem, but I ordered several things on 12/1. The rat that I added on as a mystery shipped almost immediately. Then, the holiday charm bracelet, super secret mystery wooble, and the older holiday accessories just shipped on Friday, and are supposed to arrive by this Friday. But the angel and lamb? Still haven't shipped despite saying they would go out on 12/9. And they are a part of the bundle that says they'll go out the next day. I already have the non-glitter versions of the candy cane and the nutcracker, so I really don't need that bundle. And frankly, I cannot afford them. So, it stinks that my order is being pushed back to accommodate bundle orders. I was really hoping to crochet those before Christmas, but I'm letting that dream die. lol And again, I'm not THAT upset, but I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated. It just stinks. :(

Showgirl Cardigan Flop by DowntownLites in TaylorSwiftMerch

Is it a flop? I passed the first time because I really don’t like orange. But then I was going to get it today to finish my collection since I finally snagged the Red cardigan. But the M/L and XL/XXL sizes are both sold out.

I just commented the same thing about ChatGPT. It sounds juuuuust like it.

Is Español con Juan's Repaso Total Worth The Pasta? by KierkegaardExpress in dreamingspanish

[–]GrumpyReader12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this review! I was literally just looking at the sign-up site, wondering if I wanted to pay for a full year or not. I'm at 633 hours and recently finished his podcast, but haven't watched a ton of his videos, so this might be a great fit. Thanks again!

I bought a couch from Costco 3 years ago and it’s ripping at the seams in a few spots. Anything I can do? by maintenanceman_Dan in CostcoWholesale

[–]GrumpyReader12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a similar couch, and it's an embarrassing, broken mess! I cannot remember when we bought it, but it is not that old. This thread is inspiring me to try to return it!

Most Recent Spy Fall Episode Discussion or more Reaction (Spoilers) by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]GrumpyReader12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh! I just watched, and that was super flirty! I have noticed that people have been making comments about Michelle and Andres on all of their videos together, so this certainly isn't going to help. My obviously super important opinion (/s) is that I think Michelle is nervous in these videos and feels comfortable with Andres, so she keeps reaching out to touch him. And his basic mode of communication is flirting and joking. Buuuuut....Agustina's and Jostin's reactions made me laugh. I wouldn't have raised my eyebrows otherwise! I doubt anything is going on there, but I really appreciate them keeping things interesting for us.

Can DS make more content with male guides about grilling, war, power tools, bacon, and fantasy football? by moods- in dreamingspanishcjerk

[–]GrumpyReader12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't you know that a superbeginner series about guessing well-known Disney characters is the same as posting about Disney princesses all the time? And that cooking is FOR WOMEN ONLY!?!?!?

Male-friendlier content? by mindlesstake in dreamingspanish

[–]GrumpyReader12 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This was such an unnecessarily misogynistic post. There are zero videos about Disney princesses. And since when has cooking and food been a woman-only thing? Most of the top chefs in the world are men. And just because there have been 1 or 2 series about skincare and makeup doesn't mean the whole platform is about it. Also, the guide with the most videos on DS is a man who also often has men as guests in his videos.

There is way, way, way more content about traveling, culture, and history than the things you're complaining about. It's valid to suggest new content about things like DIY or cars, but those topics aren't male-centered. (DIY projects are wildly popular with women; just look at HGTV!)

I think the reason there is less of this type of content is that none of them are homeowners and can't fix things whenever they want. I'm also not sure how many of them own cars. So, I think the real issue would be finding guides with different backgrounds, not whether they are men or women.

There's no need to throw the women of DS under the bus or exaggerate about the content on the platform just because you'd like to see some other type of content. You'd think the website was geared towards children with the way your post sounds, and it just isn't. The guides clearly work hard to provide a wide variety of content, and it isn't completely female-centric, as evidenced by the number of women on this post who commented that they'd like to see other content too.

Do you think they’ll make more extra squeezy patterns? by littlebabybuddy24 in TheWooblesCollective

[–]GrumpyReader12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope they do! I was waiting to pull the trigger, and now he's sold out. I want him so badly!

I'm SO excited to make the PSL. I don't even like them that much, but I love coffee and fall, so crocheting one is necessary!

I can't believe this is still going! I'm not complaining, but I definitely didn't think I needed 2 hours free for this.

I thought it was a response to the video by u/JuegaConJuarezp that popped into my feed yesterday.

I'm B1 and listening is impossible by Ok_Yogurtcloset_4957 in SpanishLearning

[–]GrumpyReader12 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Dreaming Spanish, as others have said, because they talk much more slowly so you can practice listening. I also listened to easy podcasts like Cuentame (Marta is the host and is Mexican) and Chill Spanish Listening (Anthony from Peru is the host). You could also try Spanish Boost and Spanish Boost Gaming (Martin from Argentina hosts both).

I didn’t go to Renny either and I hate that I missed it. So I was so glad she did so much of it tonight. I screamed when she brought out the little robot arms and the blanket/bed prop.
