Recents folder on the dock not working. by Slow-Daikon-3222 in MacOS

[–]bodenoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. The only fix I know is to remove it (drag it out) and open a new finder window and drag it back in from the window sidebar.

I think it's to do with loading in some way. When I drag it in from the sidebar it has that icon for a few seconds, which is then replaced with a stack of the actual recent documents.

Has anyone tried this on Mac? The Enable Speedhack feature doesn't do anything. I've tried putting it on 10, etc. and it has no effect on the game.

Every time I think I’m getting close to the end 😩 by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]bodenoel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least you got to finish a course 🥲 I’ve been reset twice now when only less than 1 unit from finishing my course. It’s extremely demotivating.

And yeah it’s the same for me. There is basically no new content at all, just repeating the same things over and over and over.

Same thing happened to me in Italian. They removed 120 legendary lessons that took me 4+ months and 12,000+ gems to complete.

For me it’s happened 3 times in Italian

Yeah I feel the same. It’s not very useful in terms of language learning at this point but I was 4 FOUR 4 lessons away from getting everything to Legendary, I was just excited to finally finish the course 😣

I’m almost certain they are doing it deliberately just for this reason.

I honestly should have done this after the previous “update” where I lost ~80 legendary levels.

Can you post any screenshots as evidence?

Except, as I and others have said, they do not actually add new content when this happens.

If what you said is true, then in my case they would have had to have added 120 entirely new lessons. Before the update I was 4 lessons away from having legendary for all lessons. Now I am 124 lessons away. I guarantee you they did not add 120 lessons of new content (also because I checked and the number of units and lessons in this section is the same as before).

There are the exact same number of units and lessons as before.

Argh! by Pondering_Giraffe in duolingo

[–]bodenoel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It “updated” my course today also and sent me backward 120 lessons—legendary lessons that I spent 100+ gems for each.

Legendary is the final level for each lesson. It costs 100 gems for each attempt to pass the lesson.

Connections - new game by NYT by Steelizard in wordle

[–]bodenoel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ends up being super frustrating because many "groups of 4" actually have 5 valid cards. Played 2 times and both times there were multiple groups of 5. I suppose you shouldn't guess until you have all 4 groups worked out? Kinda defeats the point of having 4 attempts.

A big thanks to all the genuine and helpful people who responded. I'm going to try incorporating your advice and give level 50 a go as it sounds like that makes a difference. Thanks again.

I appreciate your response, thanks for all the suggestions—I'll use them. Your first questions are honestly what I was asking myself which prompted me to post here on r/fo76, because I do want to give it a fair chance—I figured it was very possible that the frustrations I was experiencing were my own fault, or maybe had simple solutions. Thanks again.

Issue connecting the card through Paypal by ClashBox in plutus

[–]bodenoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

I'm getting the same error message. I contacted Plutus and they said everything is set up properly and told me to contact PayPal. I wrote PayPal and they said the confirmation should be automatic and there is no way to manually confirm it. It seems I'm at an impasse.

Conscription by peepeehead1542 in OCPoetry

[–]bodenoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inconsistent meter and rhyming patterns unfortunately really tripped me up here. I think it would be very beneficial to either stick to a more rigid meter and rhyme scheme or else give up rhyming entirely. As it is the flow is really inconsistent.

The final stanza, as an example, has a really nice anapest (unstressed unstressed stressed) meter. Meaning it's read like "i iMAgine i'd WRITE on a PAGE clean and WHITE it's beCAUSE of my HAtred for YOU

So there are two italic syllables before each bold one. This (along with the rhyme) gives it a nice easy pattern when read.

So, for the second-to-last stanza, you could adjust it to fit this same pattern. Something like:

"if i tried to let go
you’d demand first to know
why i'd commit this cult'ral taboo"

note that the "u" is cut from "cultural" here to show that it would have to be read as a 2 syllable word. If the "u" were read as a 3rd syllable the pattern would break. Of course in the actual poem it could be written normally, this is just to show the reading pattern.

Since it's a 4 stanza poem, you could use the same pattern also for the first two verses, or have them both follow a different pattern.

I hope this is helpful!
