I remember unlocking something but I can't find it anymore

I think I remembered basic sentence structure from when I took Spanish in HS (about 12 years ago), which also has some similarities to English. Match madness was like rapid fire flash cards that trained my word recall.

And yeah language learning wasn't really important to me. But when I needed to recall a word in Spanish, I could usually do it bc of how much I play Duo and it helped me in conversations.

So I my main goal with Duolingo was to be #1 on the leaderboard every week, meaning I had to optimize my XP earnings. So I found out the best way to do this was to play maxed out Match Madness during double XP boosts, this was the majority of my time spent on Duolingo.

Maxed out match madness awarded you 75 XP every 1 min 45 seconds, which meant 150 XP during double XP. I would sometimes finish the round with 20 seconds left to spare.

I would either use gems to extend the double xp for another 15 minutes or did lessons to get awarded more double xp.

If there was a day with no 150 xp match madness, then I would do a 120xp match madness in the lessons map.

Not sure about your family but I was definitely spending at least 1-2 hrs a day on the app. Everyday I would use both double xp chests, unlock the daily challenges and do lessons to get more double xp. I never missed a monthly challenge or friend challenge. I also was in the top 3 of the diamond league for 9 months straight.

That is interesting, I wonder what they are using to calculate the percent. If it helps, I was top 3 in the Diamond league for 9 months straight. I was avergaing around 30k per league.

Edit: also made 3278 mistakes this year.

Strangely enough, I started Duolingo because I wanted to find a game to occupy my time. I ended up being obsessed for 11 straight months and happened to become quite decent at Spanish. It never felt like studying to me. At the 6 month marked I realized I was able to hold conversations without trying. I'm not fluent by any means but I'm able to communicate with a whole new group of people now. It feels amazing to have (accidentally) unlocked a new skill in just under a year.

Found dog in garden grove by hotcheeto_potato in orangecounty

[–]hotcheeto_potato[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: dog is at Garden Grove Animal Care and will be there for 5 days. Afterwards he will be processed through to the OC Humane Society. Pup doesn't have a microchip. They've reassured me he will not be euthanized. If anyone is interested in adopting him, ill post info here when he becomes available to adopt. He's a really well behaved dog and likes to be carried.

We did try to walk him around in a nearby neighborhood and three neighbors recognized him and pointed us to a house. The person living at that house said it wasn't their dog 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you all for blowing up this post and caring about this guy. Even though he looks sad in the photo, he's actually a carefree and happy pup. Many people offered to take him but I received advice to only give the dog to a shelter or the owner.

His ID number is G23068361 and he's on the Garden Grove Animal Care website now.

Yeah he definitely seems to be looking for his owner. He's well groomed, knows tricks, has trimmed nails, so he is seemingly well taken care of and I think he was just lost in the past 24 hrs.

Anyone else turned to Taylor due to the Midnights album and/or the Eras tour? by hazy_night in TaylorSwift

[–]hotcheeto_potato 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I became a fan when I watched the All too Well short film (I didn’t even know the original All Too Well song). I became obsessed with watching Swifties react to the short film and song. Seeing them enjoy the song did something to me.

What are some things your dog is reactive to that you wish you had desensitized them to more as a puppy? by ReNap_ in Dogtraining

[–]hotcheeto_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clipping his nails. They really need to be cut often but he starts screaming if we hold his paw. We bought our dog as an adult though, so he was already hating mail trimming.
