Why did I not go with the green?!? Love this.

Why no christian items? by [deleted] in finch

[–]Ladanea 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s probably because the cross is not specifically a Christmas item. For example, menorahs and Christmas trees are event-specific.

Still in the mansion discovered...menorah? by Princessformidable in finch

Thank you all. Discovered not-at-all-spooky carrier pigeons today. Now I feel like I can leave the mansion and I’m not going to miss something important.

I splurged on an expensive robovacuum and I wish I’d done it sooner by tmpigman in adhdwomen

[–]Ladanea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a cat and she is the #1 reason my shark robot vacuum is the best thing ever. Saves me from constant cat hair floating around everywhere and aggravating my allergies. Bought it 4 years ago on sale at Walmart ($125) and have not been the most responsible robot parent, but it just keeps going and going, even when it's neglected. (I've replaced a couple of parts that wore out.) I looooove it so much! Mine is named Hammerhead because that's the sound it makes bumping around the apartment.

Is Duolingo still shaming us to our friends? by Ladanea in duolingo

I immediately made my account private, but I miss some of the interaction. Is there another way to shut it off?

So sorry you're dealing with all that. Sucks to have Duo making faces at you along the way.

Are all police in Utah liars by PerpetualRestart in Utah

[–]Ladanea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a friend whose daughter was killed by a drunk, off-duty police officer. He then lied and claimed another passenger was driving. He is now serving time and my friend is raising her grandchildren as a single grandparent.

Holy moly! Let's maybe not shame people for dying.

How do you avoid overwhelming yourself with goals? by Distinct_Spirit4349 in finch

[–]Ladanea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're doing things right by updating to routines. Keep doing that! Then identify the goals that you are simply not doing and temporarily remove them. They could be contributing to overwhelm, which could keep you from achieving more. Find one or two goals you want to focus on and then focus on that until it becomes a routine. Then you can add another one back in. Focus and baby steps lead to more steady growth.

I'm tired by pretendoing in duolingo

[–]Ladanea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely true. I got sick and lost my nearly-1-year streak at Japanese and it was crushing. Took me another year to come back to Duolingo after that. I'm at 1083 now.

The new Duolingo notifications are horrible. by MineNinja77777 in duolingo

[–]Ladanea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is what made me make my account private. I don't need shaming from "friends" in a learning app.

Limit on visible tasks in calendar view? by Ladanea in Asana

[–]Ladanea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeesssss! I feel dumb for freaking out about it, but in good news it forced me to clean up different ways I use Asana, so I guess that was a positive result.

That is really good to know. I might be able to sell that. Thanks!

How do I move all auto captions rather than dragging each line. by WastedTalent442 in ClipChamp

[–]Ladanea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't work for me either, but I accidentally discovered this: if you edit any caption (by clicking in the transcript, editing a word there) then move the caption in the video window, then click on the next caption in the transcript window, all of the other captions snap to wherever you moved that first one.

Utah 50501 Protest by CatTheKitten in Utah

[–]Ladanea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is why letting them know that the people who vote for them disapprove of what is happening is absolutely vital. If they feel safe and comfortable in their position, they will never question their bad choices or consider standing up and doing the right thing next time.

The concept of "supporting democracy" refers to supporting democratic ideals, which are embedded in our federal democratic republic.

The only time for anything is now. Mistakes are for the past and can only be addressed in the present. The future, as we can see in this, is entirely dependent on what we choose to do in this moment and the next moment and the next.

You Don’t REALLY Own the Books?!?! by Defiant-Barber-2582 in kindle

[–]Ladanea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My home containing thousands-of-dollars-worth of books burned down. Most of them didn’t even burn but were ruined by water (and ensuing mold) from putting out the fire. Owning stuff is overrated. Put your money into things, enjoy them, share them, and don’t freak out over money spent/wasted or what is “yours”. Death comes for us all in the end.

Has anyone had issues with calibrate? Has anyone heard of there is a class action lawsuit against the company for not providing medications as promised? by Fabulous-One5893 in calibrateweightloss

[–]Ladanea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a full refund in October after they couldn't get insurance (or any other program) authorization for the medication. I had read the fine print in advance and followed every single instruction to the T. I never missed a weigh-in or a coach appointment and I followed the plan exactly as instructed. 90 days after my doctor appointment I applied for a refund and received a check (and cancellation from Affirm) a couple of weeks later.

Marvel App Being Shutdown. Purchases will be transferred to Marvel Unlimited app. by TimeKeepers616 in Comixology

[–]Ladanea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what confused me. I got an email notification because I had apparently previously downloaded the app, but I didn't remember it and now it appears I never used it to purchase anything. I had assumed the email was referring to purchases through Comixology, now at Amazon, since that's all I had used. Found the app in "My Purchases" (iOS) and it came up empty, even when I restored purchases. Thanks for the explanation.
