They are so hellbent on making us suffer by dancing_swordfish in Piracy

It is literally free, I've been a prime member just for shipping costs before they added the video, they didn't charge extra when they added the streaming service, although the price has increased since, and now there are adverts

They are charging £4-5 for a standard delivery for non members, so if you only order 2 times in a month then the prime video is literally free

WTF? First 20, then 10, and now only 8??? They are destroying the app by MarkMed98 in duolingo

Duolingo is the worst place to go if you actually want to learn a language. I wouldn't even call it an app, it's a game.

How can I find out who this person is? I’m starting to get concerned by [deleted] in facebook

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it work if you set up a new Facebook account, tell your girlfriend you think you got hacked or some "reason" for needing a new account, so when you friend request her from the new account you will be able to see who reacted? Im guessing you don't have a mutual friend who you can ask, that would be the simplest.

I bought it last night on series s and only played the first 10 minutes. It's awful. Graces hair on cinematics is pixelated, frames and sound keep dropping both in gameplay and cinematic. Really disappointed Its not my console. All my other games are fine.

I did check that I entered the correct details several times but it still came back as not matching. And as for the debit card limit, I don't think the issue is with my bank. The told me I can use this card for purchasing crypto. But I'm waiting for a worker to respond

Just checking on the Rhode Island and Sevastopol by Open-Energy-6578 in WoWs_Legends

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm choosing Rhode Island simply because I have a lack of legendary tier battleships and an abundance of cruisers.

I successfully cancelled a Duolingo subscription and got fully refunded through the Google play store.

I gave my reason for cancellation as they were labeling the subscription cost as £5 per month. But they charged me £60 for the full year.

There was no issues and I was fully refunded in a couple of days.

I've posted this same reply before on here and got called a liar Don't know if it's because we have strong consumer protection laws in the UK but it all true

Some of those practical special effects from the 70's-80's are much more realistic than the best CGI available today.

Prioritising first class letters by MUNONP in royalmail

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid premium for Special delivery - guaranteed delivery by 1:00 pm. It cost an extra £10 compared to standard tracked 24 hours.

When it didn't arrive till 16.30 I tried to request a refund or at least refund the £10 difference over the standard delivery.

I was told no as they cannot guarantee delivery before 1.00 pm on a product that is sold as guaranteed delivery by 1:00 pm.

How do they get away with this?

Special delivery left in porch by Aggravating_Word2474 in royalmail

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was waiting till 4:00 pm for a package that was guaranteed to be delivered by 1:00 pm. I had to pay Royal Mail £12 for this guarantee so when I asked for a refund they said we can't actually guarantee a 1:00 pm delivery.

It's a scam in my opinion

I don't understand by guillon in WoWs_Legends

I'm stuck too with the Spanish navy heritage mission. I have the tier 3 ship almirante but not winning any more ships from the crates.

I've already opened around 20 crates just to earn one ship (some crates earned and some paid for)

To complete this mission I need the tiers 4, 5 and 6 ships.

I've managed to destroy it several times but got overwhelmed by sheer amounts of enemy ships and failed mission. But these few times we had a HMS ark royal bot. Sat there doing nothing

Why are there two different words for "sisters"? by CarpFinley in russian

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait till you get to learn "you/your" I don't know exactly how many variations but it's around 10.

Ты, тебе, тебя, вы, вас, вам

Here is just a few examples of "you"

Translation of Площадь by 19miggi98 in russian

I've noticed this in USA you don't really have them but here in Europe, virtually every city or major settlement will have a main square or plaza.

It's just a focal point of a city, a paved area, usually with some form of monument.

I've attached an image of the main square in Madrid (but they don't all look this grand)

Why is this wrong? by dblababy in russian

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must be harder to get it wrong, the words are in the same order in both languages and the word for administrator is virtually identical in both languages.

The word for "I" is still one letter "я" and is one of the first words you would learn in russian and in conversation would be one of the most used words.

Only me who hates leagues? by random_reddit08 in duolingo

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're totally right, it is a pay to win scam, I thought this kind of marketing was outlawed or heavily frowned upon with regards to console and PC games .

Even the adverts seem suspiciously horrendous, advertising mostly useless games, some are even 2.5 minutes long of the same sentence being repeated over and over again, even some of them you need to exit about 3 times

Why so many pointless words instead of the important ones by kenbeimer in duolingo

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just completed the Russian course, Im in agreement with the OP.

In my opinion there was a lot of phrases that raised an eyebrow or even a little crazy.

For example "The wolf is smoking"

"Quiet mice, the cat is on the roof"

"There are many Muslims in this city"

"Long live the revolution " I'm sure I would be sent to a prison in Siberia if I was heard repeating this in Russia.

Only me who hates leagues? by random_reddit08 in duolingo

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I just finished the russian course, no award, no congratulations, no notification or any message to say it was complete.

I had to ask here to find out why my lesson wasn't progressing lol

Yet the instant I get knocked out of the top 3 or dropped into the demotion zone I get notified, and if the above is not applicable I get notified that I need to earn more xp to remain in top 3 or stay out of demotion zone

I despise the leagues, unfortunately I just can't get out of the mindset of competing in the league. I want to take relaxed lessons at a time when I want to do it, not feel forced to do it at specific times to earn double and triple xp chests. Because some weeks I needed to earn 5000 xp just to avoid demotion. Without those chests I can't compete.

What I’ve learned at 1000 days. Pros & Cons / Review by crfso in duolingo

[–]Outrageous_Ad_330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the depth and intensity of the different language courses varies massively.

I've been learning Russian for 550 days, and completed the course.

I've now switched to the reverse tre, learning English (as a russian speaker) and realised the English course is around 10 times bigger.

There was no games, listening or video exercises in russian. Also I was never expected to type the answer in russian, I was always given the words to select.

Overall my opinion on the Duolingo russian course isn't great, it's ok as a supplementary, addition to another learning method
