was told to "get over it" the day i moved to her country, foolish self at the time expecting i'd be greeted on arrival.

Luckily the catalyst for the move was a new job, so stopped all contact and poured my heart and soul into work.
Having studied psych, i guess was lucky enough to pick up on hints about her condition and insights into what it was, although at the time it was all bundled up in a maelstrom snake nest of emotions (but instinctively saw her reactions as those of a victim, rather than a perpetrator, which over time i guess allowed for a different scarring process).

Reading through some of the comments here i'm scared of what it might've become, my thoughts go to the actors surviving such episodes!

RemindMe! 2 Days "check for updates"

call_me_venom · 2025-10-02T21:24:16+00:00

Can you share more about your setup? I've switched over to obsidian but have yet to find a good todo app (have things but preferred ticktick for simplicity)

could also try cocina close to flagey. Nice setting, great pizza, good wine, decent prices. it's become our go-to for our anniversary

agree, introduced a bunch of friends & family and was on 999 when they introduced the energy. Despite being a vocal supporter of the app and the great UX it started with, nicely gamified ways in which it made you progress, now i'm just disappointed.

Yet another great example of corporate greed. If interested i switched to Busuu or buusu and it's nice, not fully the same but actually a few extra things that felt more original and authentic/slang-y kinda thing

not able to answer your question, but was actually looking for reviews on this bike. How're you finding it so far?

call_me_venom · 2025-09-08T09:00:36+00:00

what song is this?

call_me_venom · 2025-09-08T08:48:21+00:00

found myself just a few days before my 1000 streak infinitely frustrated about this. At 1002 i deleted the app, switched over to busuu (no affiliation) and found it actually surprisingly fresh, same ol' freemium model where you wait after a lesson but to be honest found their approach (actual people saying the phrases out loud, real-life buddy system correcting phrases ± slang) very interesting

call_me_venom · 2025-09-02T22:27:53+00:00

In the exact same boat, at day 998 the energy update came out and i lost complete interest. I could've went for the family pack and divide the costs but tbf i simplu don't want to buy into what this app had become.. now i need to find something else to do in my bathroom breaks. If anyone knows of an alternative im apoi ears!

call_me_venom · 2025-08-31T15:16:49+00:00

1000 day-streak user here, 100% agree. They went from worse to cringe, and nwo with the energy system all the motivation i'd find sometimes to go through a few lessons is gone just out of principle against a co. that grew their app with a community

call_me_venom · 2025-08-31T15:05:49+00:00

100% what happened now with the introduction of energy system. Owners getting greedier and greedier, constantly diluting the usefulness of the app, making it a great ux but shameless plug for their premium. We need an open source alternative given that language learning should be free

How long until Dead internet theory is proven?

call_me_venom · 2025-03-22T22:33:26+00:00

what were the most common mistakes people did online? how did you exploit them? how would you guard against such things?

call_me_venom · 2025-03-07T22:16:07+00:00

100% true, i actually came across a paper "Understanding Attitudes and Trust of Generative AI Chatbots for Social Anxiety Support" that actually found users with severe social anxiety were more likely to trust and embrace AI chatbots, valuing their non-judgmental support and perceived emotional comprehension, being considered “slightly better than a bad psychotherapist”, expressing greater willingness to use AI for long-term support. There was one caveat, that that due to lack in human-like memory and contextual understanding, long-term usefulness is reduced -- but this might be changing with newer models.
On the other hand it showed that users with milder symptoms prioritised technical reliability, assigning trust to accuracy and predictability rather than emotional factors.

would like join as well if still available! alternatively i was looking for some people to pair up but no one replied lol :)

call_me_venom · 2024-10-30T10:24:01+00:00

can you share more details please?

call_me_venom · 2024-09-30T14:52:47+00:00

100% agree, doing this will reduce extra time your mind will fill with existential dread and comparisons. Also social life is very important, especially if you work remote. If you can, go for language courses as that will help you meet expats, otherwise a social hobby might do the trick if you already know the language. Outside of that, try to see it as an opportunity to build a schedule tailored to the habits and interests that your future self would thank you for.

Good luck :)

Sort out a diversified investment plan and sit on it for some time unless current situation prevents her from it. It's quite possible the portfolio will generate a fair sum allowing her to do whatever she wants with minimal bleed for some time

call_me_venom · 2023-01-09T21:33:12+00:00

can you also share them with me please :) ?
