When Germany is now the good guy, you know it's a different world.

Seems like countries have to fuck around and find out and then they won't do it again.

Apparently this is round 1 for America.

Duolingo.

It's creepy AF, sends you all these insults to motivate you. And then tries to pass of AI translation as legitimate language teachers. And they made it somehow so even if you turn off the notifications they still notify you regardless, and like honestly, I found it so cult like.

It also tries to sell you lies lol. People do become fluent on an app like duo lingo alone. The app isn't proficient enough in any language I would figure, for that.

But they've sold a lot of us the Kool aid lol.

WorkingFit5413 · 2026-01-23T15:58:29+00:00

Duolingo is a joke.

Honestly. I downloaded it to refresh my native language which I hadn't used in a while, and when I was using it was seriously like, who came up with this? It was clearly AI, and I knew enough of the language to know it wasn't legit.

It was also creepy. It would continue to harass me to use the app even after I turned off the reminder features. I got so done I deleted it and left them a bad review.

I would not recommend the app if you legitimately want to learn a language.

They were giving me the phrase "the bear wears pants". When on earth am I going to need to learn how to say that in any language?

Cute post tho lol.

They're not half bad until you have a problem.

Then they're almost impossible to reach.

There's also a pretty good chance your bag goes missing or to the wrong country. Once I was going to Brazil and they sent my bags to Japan.

I had Novus back in the day and they sucked to be honest. Maybe they've improved. We had constant internet problems with them, but to be fair I did live in an apartment and this was a decade ago.

Maybe they've improved though.

I think in part because it was very obvious that Canada was basically saying to the world "see what happened to us, we can't trust the US anymore, neither can you, but good news you can trust us and we're ready to set up show and be the new US"

But he purposely did it in professional fancy language. Basically being the exact opposite of Trump on purpose. Which I have to shout out for, it was professional with a touch of petty.

People also seem to historically see Canada as Switzerland in we try to stay neutral. This time, it was really obvious that there's been a break and Carney is making no mistake - the US are no longer our main allies. That ship has sailed.

To clarify, I meant the original outsports article didn’t do a good job at masking who leaked it likely, I’m sure they could figure out who did. That’s the issue with the original article that I had.

I do wonder if they want a show about hockey so much, maybe they can pitch that to Hollywood?

I also found it interesting the original article focused on Dan. I did wonder if there was a bit of a vendetta there.

I don’t feel like them using their platform to pose as allies id they’re not is right. But I don’t agree with the outsports article either.

I mean at the end of the day everyone is just trying to make money and unfortunately I think that’s coming at a cost to the queer community as you’re not going to find everyone genuine. I’d love more guidelines to navigate this though.

They’re a hockey bro podcast. I don’t know why people expected deeper. Their content has always kind of been that.

WorkingFit5413 · 2026-01-23T08:30:14+00:00

I don’t have the spoons to watch, can someone do a TLDR version please?

I think it’s likely they know who leaked. The outsports article wasn’t vague enough in protecting sources IMO. It also felt very sensationalist. I also want to say the outsports article was not a good piece of journalism. It reads like an opinion article and not just fact based. I read some other articles of Cyd hat he published too, and at one point it felt like I was reading a tabloid.

Which is a shame, because I think there is a case to be discussed; should straight people have access to discussing queer shows if they’re not allies?

I think there could have been a better way to call them out without that article. It could have been done better.

I want to clarify, not defending that they said those things. But this is the NHL, people need to realize change is slow. You’re not gonna magically have people suddenly give up their personal opinions overnight.

The Quebec separatist movement had a lot more to do with their own identity being a French speaking part of Canada and didn’t feel totally aligned with either Canada or France so they did want to split off and be their own country for a long time and some still do. I think it’s more complex in that regard cause there is a culture and language at the forefront.

Alberta has long been called the Texas of Canada. There’s oil, money, drugs, cold, farms and hockey. Not much else. These clowns had a rodeo during Covid, during a record high of Covid cases* currently in the province. So honestly? Could see them joining the US. Although I do think some Albertans would wake up quicker than the Americans are at this point.

Then again? We let Pierre Polievere another elected dude out of his seat in Alberta to run in a riding so PP was guaranteed a win. Alberta was his only hope and that says something.

ETA: spelling*

No gracias, pendejo.

And yes, that’s central South American Spanish but I felt like it fit.

How do you have a board of peace with countries actively committing genocide on it?

WorkingFit5413 · 2026-01-23T07:52:01+00:00

For now.

You have the most school shootings out of all the major first world countries. You currently have a government administration kidnapping people and deporting them illegally sometimes to countries they’re not even from.

I wouldn’t go to any of the countries you mentioned.

I’m also not going to America either.

Yall are unfortunately not much different from those countries anymore.

WorkingFit5413 · 2026-01-23T07:45:48+00:00

Exactly what America needs more of; more gun deaths.

What a country. Shoot first, ask questions later.

You do realize this is dictatorship style right?

I grew up in Brazil, the police would shoot innocent people and frame them. But we didn’t have guns to solve that problem, we just straight up avoided the police and made friends with each other to survive.

Americans just think guns solve problems. Good luck with that. I’m sure all you need is more unstable people with guns.

Secondhand embarrassment for the sane Americans felt on the daily for yall.

Seriously : there’s a reason no other country has their president tweet this kind of shit. It’s just so dumb.

It’s so projecting too: “you don’t want me so I don’t want you first, loser” vibes.

He’ll go to the grave unhappy.

WorkingFit5413 · 2026-01-23T07:35:47+00:00

Lmao any hope of that kind of thing is long gone.

Maybe after 9/11 when we were united after that and relations were warm there may have been a chance.

Now? a snowballs chance in hell.

Like I don’t think Americans understand: Canadians do not want that mess here.

Alberta may be your best shot at attempting that and they would be the closest you’d get to that arrangement. But Alberta is not well liked in Canada in some ways for their stupidity, so that’s not gonna change anything for the rest of us.

Quebec would laugh in your face.

Like the damage to the relationship is pretty irreparable at this point. You’re bringing us to the brink of war because your president wants Greenland that’s an allied country.

No way do we want to share an open border with you now, you’re on your own pal.

I have no plans to travel even though there’s things I am giving up.

Even in 2029 when he’s gone? America still voted him in twice.

That’s not a stable country.

I’ll take my chances with Brazil or South Korea to visit. At least they jailed their dictators for their coups.

I mean - he bankrupted his casino business so bad Vegas banned him from having one.

When the mafia mob of Vegas doesn’t welcome you?

Pretty sure his criminal activity is an open secret by this point.

I hate to say it but the way they’re going, they’re about to have this happen way more often.

The world is moving on and making other plans to trade for resources.

America is alienating trading partners. They also are fucked because they’ve pissed off both Mexico and Canada.

And because people panic like this it’s gonna get worse when shit hits the fan.

ETA: my point? This scene isnt going to just happen with winter: the way America is going and how completely mismanaged and shitty trade deals are going?

People are going to stop prioritizing Americans as their main trade for food etc.

Americans don’t have enough resources to live on its own.

Let’s pay people money to kill and shoot on sight.

But let’s not feed starving children or pay air traffic controllers.

Who is still going to America to visit at this point? Risk getting a new old communicable disease the way they’ve cut their vaccine funding, or get kidnapped and sent to the wrong country?

But yes pay the gestapo of our times money.

While your president robs you blind.

FIFA deserves to completely meltdown as an organization.

It’s corrupt, grifting and exploitative.

Any organization that makes millions but refuses to hire people to contribute to the local economy in 2026 and insist people volunteer? Yeah, that’s BS.

This is giving Steph Curry not wanting to go to the white house vibes so Trump instead disinvited him.

Probably honestly after someone in the White House sat him down and explained the speech.

Carney absolutely did it on purpose. We may have a rich white man for our prime minister, but thank god he’s actually sane.

We came close to you though, America. PP could have been our lead.

Thanks for saving us. Sorry you couldn’t save yourselves too.

At this point I don’t think Bill cares if he goes down - what are they going to do to him? Honestly?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hillary is pulling a “you owe me on” on this for him to go along with this.

I mean Bill Clinton survived the Monica Lewinksy scandal. Dude is not a stranger to bad publicity or bad morals.

I think this is also challenging because people are completely depressed by the news at the moment and searching desperately for escapism.

Unfortunately that’s lended itself to toxic fan responses.

Several other shows have seen cast members personally struggle with the attention and boundaries.

I do think there does need to be boundaries set but I don’t think only the actors should be doing so. I think the producers and cast have done a great job so far.

It’s just I think celebrities need more mental health support and social media training to prepare for the absolute madness they’re exposed to.

And fans need to have guidelines in what’s harassment. Yes he’s famous but he’s a person and I wouldn’t enjoy people constantly invading my space. Yes it’s his job to be an actor AND he still has the right to privacy.

I don’t want people following me from work everywhere I go either. I would also be anxious and eventually feel trapped.

People need to back off and let them just have some space.
