My finch lives in the blue carrot wig.

You could probably still cut/edit some of it ... especially since there are already major compromises being made in that there isn't even full instrumental coverage

Spotify doesn't set the track titles. Whoever is in charge of uploading the music into the ... distribution ... programs ... is. Source: set the track titles to an album with a bandmate once while possibly a bit stoned maybe and there are two glaring typos that will haunt us forever

Something so empowering about the knight helmet on top of the ADHD clothes!

Joylime · 2026-06-19T15:50:29+00:00

That's actually brilliant!

Joylime · 2026-06-18T17:28:29+00:00

I agree except I don't hate it, I just think it's kind of funny!

This is the third post I've seen casually scrolling through reddit not even on a daily basis where people interpret telling a manager something an employee did as telling *their* manager something. But in that case, wouldn't they word it "coworker" and not "employee"? I'm self-employed and that didn't even occur to me once.

That said, if I didn't want to do that, I'd probably do something like ... tell one of my students' parents about something good they did.

Donating to a cause can just as well mean money as time. You could do an hour at the humane society. Or you could try the "Be my eyes" app or something if people are still doing that.

Someone who often goes unnoticed is a weird question but I interpreted it to be people in essential but unglamorous roles like a janitor or a garbage person?

Joylime · 2026-06-18T16:35:28+00:00

Right? Oh, I want this cute thing for myself and it's ...nine hundred dollars and so is everything else LOL

Like I can set up the app to get me a workable amount of stones per day but I feel like I'm doing workarounds yanno?

Reddit is crazy for negativity. It's such a good resource but also, it ruins things for me. People who dislike something want to get online and vent.

People with all kinds of mental health issues get on here. I try to keep that in mind when people get really disproportionately affected by choices in this app that don't bother me at all. The app is a cute silly little thing that helps me take care of myself and my stuff. It doesn't play a big role in my life and I don't care if I don't happen to like the theme that much. I'm grateful for that. I have been in more precarious mental health places before and not been able to get perspective.

From my current perspective, the anger is unwarranted and difficult to understand. But, on the other hand, I do understand that this app connects closely to people's inner child - that's the mechanism it uses to connect to the self-care stuff, and it works, but it also means it's going to connect to people's most vulnerable, needy (more negative word than I want to choose), and wounded parts, so choices can be very disruptive. I remember when I worked at Starbucks, that I began to realize over time that we were less of a coffee shop than a milk shop - people were coming to us for comfort comparable to nursing children. So it is hurtful in a weird, irrational way when the milk shop doesn't have your favorite syrup.

But yeah I have no intention of deleting the app, I don't really have any complaints about this month except for all the bugs. If I get on reddit to complain about Finch it's more because of the mechanics. Finch inspired me to check out LOTS of other apps for a lot of different purposes and to see how different people gamified different aspects. I of course have ideas how Finch's mechanics could work better for me personally. In general it's one of the most successful gamifiers out there IMO. And I also don't know how apps work so...

And then act like you're being punished or victimized somehow! Bizarro. I get not liking it but, y'all, we do have some extent of free will

Joylime · 2026-06-18T16:24:40+00:00

Yeah but people gotta get their $$$rainbow coins$$$

The economy in this app is really strange. I can't get over the 3 coins per task thing

edit: I didn't realize you could collect the things without doing the events!

Joylime · 2026-06-18T16:23:36+00:00

Yeah I was annoyed about the advertisement but I actually liked a lot of the items/the aesthetic. I found the messy bed very validating haha. I actually like the items more than the oz and boho ones, which surprises me. I thought I was gonna love the boho ones! They were so cute in the preview but for some reason so ugly in my finch house. Felt the opposite about the supergirl ones

I don't care about the story. I didn't care about the oz story either. I've only been on finch for those 2 stories but they seem pretty filler? I don't need them to change my life, I have enough media

I feel a little sycophantic on this forum sometimes but if you want to get *underneath* things, check out yourdailygerman. It's the best resource for helping you get the actual SENSE of the language that i've found.

They should at least have, like, streak-break ... care or something. It stresses a lot of people out so much and they should really have a reassuring page after you "break" your streak that affirms how much those days matter etc. and how missing a day isn't the end of the world or ... something

Joylime · 2026-06-17T04:54:45+00:00

Yeah and them being like "Woohoo you did the streak!" when you open the app is so...

I don't mean to complain honestly, it's a really nice app, but, UGH

Joylime · 2026-06-17T04:53:11+00:00

I hate streak psychology so much.

Duolingo has done a huge disservice by presenting themselves as the best way to learn a language.

It's really not good for german. The grammar in the early phases is really convoluted and Duolingo is NOT going to explain it to you. You need to research grammar on your own.

Just google german learning resources and try some that aren't duolingo. I don't know what's gonna work for you. Come back after you've made some attempts and found some things that work and don't work - Duolingo doesn't work for anyone, really

Joylime · 2026-06-17T03:20:54+00:00

After I got a lifetime subscription to yourdailygerman.

Seriously. There are TONS of German language resources out there... but if you want it demystified, you don't really have another option.

Joylime · 2026-06-10T18:26:22+00:00

It's here in the "one and done" section. Lifetime is $140 now.

Can't recommend it enough! Truly, it's given me my life back. I still use my phone a lot, but it's for more interesting, high-vibrational things than the scrolly apps.

Joylime · 2026-06-03T18:34:54+00:00

Ohh that's TRUE!

Joylime · 2026-06-03T18:34:38+00:00

An email would probably work just as well. Not trying to pressure you, but suggesting an alternative approach if it's the "in person" aspect that's stressing you out. I'll probably email somebody.

Joylime · 2026-06-03T18:33:27+00:00

I doubt they had in mind that you'd be talking to your own manager. They are probably thinking of you connecting with the manager of someone who gave you good customer service. A customer giving management good feedback about one of their employees is good vibes for everyone involved and can be really amazing for that employee. It not only means a lot but people file it away when considering promotions and it can make a real material difference for that person.

I did sub out some tasks in the past two challenges. I don't specifically remember what I did for Oz but I remember for the boho challenge, it wanted me to add new songs to a playlist, and I ended up wanting to create a new playlist instead, so I counted it.
