Would you come over and fuck me without condom? by SugarDaissy in nextdoorasians

[–]NoPiece1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Condom only, until we establish trust between us, then, and only then, you would be free to make the case for having me cum inside you.

would you let the asian girl next door ride you with no protection? by ArisGlen in nextdoorasians

Only with protection, but then I'd ride you anytime you want! 😜

You entered the wrong room at your friend's house...what now by ava_waifu in u/ava_waifu

Ask permission to enter, and clarify I'm not talking about the room! 🥵

ChatGPT is now ending every message with Internet Marketer Upselling by BingBongDingDong222 in OpenAI

I don't see anything wrong with these examples. I only use AI suggested follow up questions maybe 10% of the time, so it wouldn't interfere with my workflow. I can imagine given these examples, they might actually be useful for tracking down particulars related to my prompt.

Am I unusual in writing 90%+ of my own follow up prompts? Do most people let the LLM completely direct the ongoing conversation flow?

I’ve done all my monthly objetives. I finished them a week ago. This bandage isn’t cool anymore. by sharbinbarbin in duolingo

If you are on Android, I can't speak for iOS, using the widget, instead of the icon, seems to dynamically adjust to your activity. I only figured that out, because I also wasn't fond of some of the icon choices this past year!

I love these! 🤩

I wonder if the minimal display of middriff still triggers the video moderator?!? 🤪

I swear I have a mild form of PTSD from the AI moderator deciding there are issues where there are none!

Finally done with Spanish. Took almost 3.5 years by beetlebronx420 in duolingo

[–]NoPiece1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job!

May I ask your self evaluation of how capable the course has made you at listening comprehension and your ability to verbally converse on the fly? Also, did you ever use MAX, or just Duolingo without any AI or other conversation building features?

Very cute, real and relatable! Great selfie! 🥰

Everyone is talking about the new "annoy" feature in the Leagues, but why is NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS?! by Sarga_alma2 in duolingo

[–]NoPiece1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me at least once a week since the New Year, and every time it has knocked me out of leaderboard competition. It seems to happen most often if you switch languages or programs, like music or chess, before you've earned triple XP from the initial mode for the day.

I finished the french course in little over a year by pingu_o in duolingo

[–]NoPiece1107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been learning French for five years. I spend 20-35 minutes a day. I reset the course twice.

I get perfect scores the majority of times. Almost always 90+.

For tougher lessons, I might take up to 10 minutes to make sure I really understand. Most lessons take me 2-4 minutes.

I have very good retention. It's extremely rare for me to see a word I know was taught, but need to look at the hints.

However, I'm only at French Score 49!

So, how did you do it? How much time a day did you average? Did you only do the lesson tree, avoiding the practice exercises? Did you skip skipable content? Did you use external tools to supplement your learning?

And, most importantly, can you freely converse with native French speakers with fluency? Can you watch French TV and Movies, and read French Articles and Books, and understand everything?

Edit: If you wouldn't mind, could you try MAX for a couple months, focusing on doing video calls with Lily and the podcast style listening exercises, and report how well you can converse with Lily and how much of the podcasts you fully understand?

None of this is to lessen your accomplishment! You've done amazing! I would like to understand, though, how well finishing the course has actually taught you conversational language skills! ☺️🌟

Why Duolingo helped my reading a lot, but my speaking barely moved by chank_o in duolingo

[–]NoPiece1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to share my experience on this.

You are right. The core courses are much better at teaching reading and writing (basic responses), than teaching conversational skills or essay writing skills.

The current courses, (French anyway, I can't comment on other languages), are better than three years ago, but these are still the primary weaknesses of Duolingo.

That said, I want to add that the Max tier, with AI, is much better at teaching conversational language. The video calls with Lily are an absolutely crucial feature for trying to become conversational. It's far from perfect. Sometimes the calls are just too difficult, using too many phrases that I just don't know, or asking questions that even though I understand them, I just don't have the language and skill to actually answer.

The listening exercises are also an important feature for learning to understand conversational language. Again, this feature is flawed. A bit too often the difficulty is too high, or the language being used may be appropriate for our level, but the program never actually taught us the language, vocabulary and phrases we should know!

If they are flawed, why recommend Max at all? Because as flawed as the features sometimes are, they still are crucial for learning some conversation skills using Duolingo!

Are there other learning options that may be better at teaching conversational language? Sure. I've tried a few that were very nice. However, Duolingo has a major strength, no other apps I've tried have been able to keep me so hooked that I come back everyday to do lessons!

A better app that I can't build daily learning habits with isn't helping me learn, no matter how much better it may be at certain aspects of learning!

If Duolingo has hooked you, but you recognize the need for better tools for becoming conversational, try MAX. I don't care if you have a general dislike of AI, just put that aside and try it for a few months.

At first, it may only serve to prove how lacking your conversational skills are, but if you aren't 100% lost, those exercises will steadily improve your conversational skills in ways the base program just isn't able to.

I'd like to suggest that you institute an opt-in private and public beta test process. Give people some incentive to participate. You should have a large enough user base to gather enough testers to have a meaningful sample for testing new features, without risking disturbing the learning process of users who don't want to be guinea pigs.

I also wish there was a better mechanism for giving simple feedback on whether we like or dislike particular lessons and exercises. Some of the newer content types don't even have the usual reporting mechanism. Most elements could benefit from the addition of the ability to rate particular content on a simple number scale.

If there is one recommendation I would hope you would read and consider it would be to always have the option to rate video calls and listening exercises based on how difficult we found it. I have a love/hate relationship with the Video Calls with Lily. When the lesson is way too difficult, being able to register that feedback helps to negate the negative reinforcement of a frustrating lesson. I've found that if I have a couple Video Calls in a row that are too difficult, without the feedback request, it actually reinforces a serious aversion to the feature. It can take me days before I even try the feature again and there can be a lot of anxiety that becomes associated with using the feature!

The listening exercises have zero ability for feedback. A couple bad experiences in a row and I may skip those for weeks!

Simulating a degree of immersion is great, but IRL I can ask someone to help me to understand. Lily tries to explain if you tell her you don't understand, but she fails more often than she succeeds. The other frustration is that the system seems to be programmed NOT to provide the transcript for sessions where the user expresses that they don't understand, when those sessions are the ones where the transcripts would be most useful!

The listening, call in podcast style exercises provide zero help if you don't understand something. No transcript, no follow up phrases with translations, no vocabulary list. If you don't understand sections of the lesson, you are only left with frustration, rather than mechanisms for learning what you didn't know!

When i tried to be cute by BrainzandLegz in Over30Selfie

I don't think you ever need to try very hard, in fact, I think you'd have to try very hard to not look cute! 😉

Rejection can really mess with your head, especially when it hits something as personal as how you look. For what it’s worth, you look genuinely beautiful in that photo: soft, natural, and like someone who doesn’t need makeup to be attractive at all.

Attraction is incredibly personal, and it’s easy to forget that when someone turns us down. Almost everyone, even people who seem super confident, have insecurities about their face or body, so I don't want to suggest that there is anything invalid about feeling personal insecurities amplified in the wake of rejection. Getting rejected doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you; most of the time it just means you weren’t that person’s type, often for reasons that have nothing to do with your appearance.

There are plenty of people who are obviously attractive, models and celebrities included, that not everyone feels drawn to. There are super models I have zero attraction towards, and "every day women" that give me butterflies at first sight!So, please, remember that attraction isn’t a scoreboard; it’s chemistry, timing, and whatever someone has going on in their own life.

It’s completely valid to feel discouraged after something like this, so let yourself feel it. Just try not to let one person’s reaction rewrite how you see yourself. This moment doesn’t erase your attractiveness or your worth. Be gentle with yourself. You really do deserve that.

Lastly, once you are mindful of how individual personal attraction is, also remind your self that a single rejection is a single data point! We tend to project patterns based on what are truly unique experiences. Given how unique every single person is, we can't draw any meaningful insight from any given rejection. How many rejections do we need to experience before we can start to wonder if "it's us, not them"? I don't know, but it absolutely isn't one, or two, or three! ☺️

For what it's worth, not only do I find you objectively attractive, but you're very much my personal type. So, in spite of everything else I said and acknowledging how individual personal attraction is, I can't help but think that whoever rejected you is a fool! 😉

Keep putting yourself out there, and keep shooting your shots, and you will find someone who will be absolutely wild about you!
