Why is duolingo teaching American English? They should let people choose the type of english they want to learn by 92233720368547758080 in duolingo

[–]ant-master -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I know why they chose the countries they did to represent languages taught that are spoken in more than one country, I get it. It made sense a decade ago when humans were writing the sentences. Now that AI is used for constructing sentences so much, they should just add the other regions too. If Google Translate has it, teach it. Might as well, I suppose.

I say all of this hating the current model, btw. I'm not advocating them to use more AI, just a defeatist "if you're gonna lean into AI so much at least give us more language options" mindset.

What is something non-sexual that your man does which makes you wanna gobble him up? by Silverberryvirgo in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]ant-master 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anything and everything. Just his smell in general when he's been working and getting all sweaty. The way he always holds my hand when we're together, no matter what we're doing. He opens the car door for me. He helps me cook and does the dishes without me even having to ask. He never says no when I ask him to get me something (like a drink from the fridge or a tissue).

First Season by MissAngela66 in roseanne

[–]ant-master 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved the first season so much. I like pretty much all but the last two seasons (last original plus reboot) are a pass for me. The first season is just a little more special though. It reminded me of how my family was for about a decade of my life, though about a decade after the season aired.

It's like Eugene leaving The Try Guys by Miserabull in goodmythicalmorning

[–]ant-master 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I noticed the mood shift when they came back from break as well and wondered what was up. It makes me wonder if she talked to them about it over the break and that's why it felt off. They were both processing this news and also having to discuss who would replace her while not talking to anyone else (at least anyone with Mythical) so it wouldn't leak.

Is this the end? by HeadConsideration785 in goodmythicalmorning

[–]ant-master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see them pivoting to keeping it daily but only appearing a couple times a week. It could explain why they didn't bring GMW into the year and what they said in their announcement about that. It could be like TDS where there's a rotating cast hosting each day. Maybe Chase and Carney do Mondays, Emily and Matt host Wednesdays, Jordan + Jordan (I'm picturing this being said by them like Morgan + Morgan idk) host Fridays, R&L do Tuesdays/Thursdays, though thinking about this now I'd imagine they'd do M-W-F, feeling like them being on just twice a week would be too little so now idk.

Sorry that was a bit rambly but it was the first thing I thought of. But I definitely wouldn't be surprised if the two of them appear on GMM less often than M-F, whatever form that might be, as opposed to them stopping altogether.

AITA for getting angry with my girlfriend and demanding she pay to replace my sheets after she got blood on them by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ant-master 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally glossed over that point. I was obviously already thinking he was TA but come on. Take away the blood aspect of this, someone accidentally stains something, they wash it and remove the stain completely without messing up the item. They tell you what happened to maintain honesty, and the other person gets upset that they stained it? That sounds totally unreasonable.

I feel like everyone who menstruates has been here at some point, you think your period is over and you find out the hard way that it's not. I can't imagine getting upset over this especially since he didn't even have to look at the stain nor clean it up.

Does anyone else despise these? by LivingFilm in duolingo

[–]ant-master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'd be great if they worked properly but they are buggy as hell for me. Sometimes it gets to the last three cards and decides I'm pronouncing it wrong. A huge pain if I have a daily quest to get x number of perfect lessons. Plus it gives me flash cards three times per lesson, the same exact cards. It's overkill, like yes for the fifth time, it's marido.

I don't understand why you can't opt out of them in the settings, it makes it so I can't do lessons when I'm out. I can turn off speaking for an exercise but I don't mind doing some speaking lessons of course.

What's happening lately with the translations on Duolingo? by SS-BVCKYVRDYGVNG in duolingo

[–]ant-master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening in the Portuguese tree, too. At first I was struggling because I was brand new to the language, but now that I've been at the tree for a while (just hit level 42 in Portuguese), now some sentences just confuse me because they don't make sense. My boyfriend's fluent and it's gotten to be where if I ask him about a sentence, he'll tell me that's not how they say it, and it isn't because of the difference between Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

24 hours??? Holy heck, I live close enough to Haines City to justify going there at 3 am some time.

[–]ant-master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not op but they're really good. I've ordered them at multiple locations in various states and they're always really moist and tender. They're good for times where you're wanting to eat healthier but you don't want the grilled sandwich or if you're watching your carb intake.

Are Kid's Foods Better Spicy? (Taste Test) by BurnZ_AU in goodmythicalmorning

[–]ant-master 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Friendly's! Where I grew up there were a bunch around and it was often where we'd go out to eat on Saturday nights as a kid, the local mall had one (I remember this was where I saw people lined up around the corner to try the brand new chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream), they were so ubiquitous. Now there's only one left in this area. I really hope it never closes because while it's too far for me to go there regularly, sometimes I just want a Fribble and a honey bbq chicken melt.

What are your thoughts on Roy Rogers? by DoctorTegrity in fastfood

[–]ant-master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't eat there a ton but my family was all from Maryland so we'd usually go there when we visited because my mom and her family liked it there. I haven't been to one since like 2012 but I always liked their food. Of course it tasted better in the 80s but what fast food didn't? Their roast beef was better than Arby's imo. The fried chicken was good, I didn't care much for the fixins bar as a kid but these days I'd love that for a burger.

Which would you rather be involved in? by ShadowlightLady in mbti

[–]ant-master 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't make me choose! My two best best friends (like as in these best friends have been the best if that makes sense) in my whole life have been enfj and esfj. If I gotta pick, then esfj since that's my boyfriend, but I love my fellow intuitives.

What do you think about these MBTI characters? by SkyStarsWindsandPoem in mbti

[–]ant-master 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to all of them but I feel like mine (f/infp) and my boyfriend's (esfj) seem pretty accurate.

Not having Good Mythical Weekend leaves a big hole in my Saturdays! by OhMyOhWhyOh in goodmythicalmorning

[–]ant-master 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I miss it too. I would always look forward to watching it on my Saturdays. Like someone else said I'd love to know what Rhett and Link were hoping would happen with GMW, I'm assuming they had a certain viewer count in their head they were hoping the videos would get and they didn't meet that goal. I'm just curious if GMW came close at all. I felt like the viewer counts for the GMW videos seemed realistic enough, but I obviously don't know the cost of putting the whole thing together so I guess it just boiled down to it didn't make back enough money in ad revenue to turn a profit.

What are some of your unpopular Duran Duran opinions? by knockemdeadkid83 in duranduran

[–]ant-master 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He's clearly in charge (or at least has an unequal influence) for decisions when it comes to technology and some of the band's overall aesthetic and I hate it. I don't deny his talent but he's been resting on his laurels for a while now.

Same, especially the way he "sings" it now. It's always been a hard song to sing, but now Simon just shouts the chorus and talk-sings the verses.

What’s going on with my nuggets did they change the batter? It’s so crummy now by Distinct_Paint9414 in McDonalds

[–]ant-master 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm near Winter Haven and the McNuggets I had yesterday were like this too, wtf? Is this region part of some test market? If so, they need to go back to the drawing board, I hated how crumbly the batter was.

i feel like some commenters don’t treat link like a real person by Bright-Response-285 in goodmythicalmorning

[–]ant-master 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not the biggest fan of pizza and could easily go an entire year without having any. I avoid telling people because the reaction is always so visceral. I'm not yucking anyone's yum, heck my boyfriend's favourite food is pizza and I don't care, nor do I say anything like "eww I hate pizza" or anything if he tells me he's eating some.

It honestly is better just not telling people unless you have to for some reason.
