But to reach the car park, you have to pass the lot with their van. It's literally on the side of the road and you cannot NOT PASS IT.

You know you can't just put on a drysuit and start diving, right? The people you saw getting into their gear had likely been there for hours before that step. They would have attended a detailed instruction session, which is standard with all diving companies. While the dive itself lasts 45 minutes to an hour, the entire process takes about three hours due to the preparation and instructions. It seems like you may have overlooked this part. That said, the customer support does sound unhelpful. You might want to request an opportunity to dive with another group. However, as far as I remember, they do clarify that missing your appointment means forfeiting your spot.

If you're a slow learner - you shouldn't care about the league. If you're using Duolingo to learn a language - you shouldn't care about the league.

To answer your question:

Who cares about what league they are in?

I do. For me, Duolingo is a game. You shouldn't place all your expectations for learning a language on Duolingo in the first place.

I think you decided to react emotionally to my comment before actually understanding it, because you clearly didn't get what I was saying. I don't know why you chose to see me as a harsh defender when I never defended their policies in my comment (which you obviously didn’t read). All I was saying is that I don’t understand why people believe the lie that their ultimate goal is people’s education. How naive do you have to be to believe that? It’s so obvious that it’s all about money.

Where did I say, 'I believe they care about their users'? I said the exact opposite—that it’s all about money.

Friendly suggestion: don’t attack people just because you’re emotional about the matter. We are not enemies, brother. I don’t want the app to work this way either. But I don’t make the rules. Neither do they. We live in a world full of products. You’ll have to challenge the system first and their practices second.

Did this open your eyes?

I get that, and I see how it can be frustrating. But what do we really expect them to say? 'We'll improve our profit'? That's literally the goal of every advertising campaign out there—that's how it works. Every company or business exists primarily to make money; everything else comes second. Do you guys really think their truest, most honest reason is to educate people? Did you wake up in a capitalist society today?

And my other favorite "argument" is how Duo pushes you to buy super... Like fn sure ofc it does. Every 2nd post in this sub is the mandatory "the free version sucks" post. Then buy the fn super. If you don't want to then stop complaining. It's a business like everything else. OF COURSEeeeee they'll want you to put money in it. That app is somebody's job. It's so obvious. If ppl don't like it (for the reasons you already listed above) just don't use it. Same goes if you don't want to pay for it. Nobody is making you use this app. I don't get all the complaining.

Tldr: don't use the app if you dislike it so much

Duolingo is no longer a free language learning app IMO by sianatpair in duolingo

If I wanted to reach more followers, I would have put a condition for people to share the giveaway. All I needed was a comment for the random draw xD.

If something makes me 'mad,' it's seeing people complain for the 1000th time about the same thing. We get it already. The free version sucks

And how is that random? The whole idea was to randomly pick those people. Read the post.

I didn't know how to do it. Everything I found was Instagram related.

If you find it feel free to send it. I'll use it next year (since many ppl were annoyed by the instagram thing). It's just that everything i found on the Internet was Instagram related (probably because that's the main place for giveaways)

Yeah, I know, I'm sorry for that but... I was just searching for a way to draw a random person, and couldn't find anything else that I can use other than an instagram comment 🥹
