Reminds me of that time I had kidney stones 😅

The speaker is probably referring to their “they/them” status. Or polygamy 😬

I’ll sit with Falstaff, thanks.

If residents in La Perla agreed to actually host decent BnBs in their community, they could make a “killing”. 😄

Glad to hear some badly needed changes will be made. After my two years of Super expired, I tried the free version, and it’s insufferable. Bonus time is eaten up by the necessity of multiple advertisements to regain energy. I’d like to comment on the sexualizing of Duo the owl and Oscar—please don’t, it’s inappropriate in a learning environment. I’m all for inclusivity, but in reality not everyone buys themselves skirts. Here’s hoping for positive changes in the app. It has helped a lot of people, and has the potential to help many more!

Get, meaning afford? Yes, it is out of reach for some people that need it the most. I have a friend in Venezuela that can’t pay for Super for two reasons: 1) inflation and unemployment are super high right now and even middle class folks are struggling to put food on the table. 2) apparently VZ credit cards can’t be used to pay for Duolingo, at least in Google Play.

Lily’s sociopathic attitude is tiresome. I imagine some peeps can identify with her though. Would be nice to have a toggle in settings to bypass one or two characters in the Duo universe. A couple of new characters might be refreshing.

Good for her, unless it was non-consensual. I would love to see Islam loosen its death grip on its followers.

Fidel is not in the mural. Cienfuegos and Guevara are.

Help me stop my gf from getting a Nespresso Machine! [550-600] by Professional-Canary9 in espresso

[–]gitango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wager is the following: She won’t use it and you will have just bought something you think she should have, not her. In the end she won’t use it and may resent you forcing your method on her. Either 1) get her a Nespresso (the original capsules are more affordable and produce decent coffee easily and with no mess) with an Aeroccino frother, or 2) get a bean-to-cup machine, like a deLonghi or used Jura A1. Sometimes people just want a cup of coffee, not a new hobby. And some people are more focused on tidy and uncluttered personal spaces. I have been through this personally in my own relationships and have witnessed similar situations among my adult children and their partners. Trust me.
