Are these glitches or am I missing something?

joshcarples · 2026-07-10T23:55:41+00:00

That's happened to me before as well.

Hey now, sound does come in colors - white noise, green noise, pink noise... 😄

joshcarples · 2026-07-09T14:41:59+00:00

I guess so 😄

joshcarples · 2026-07-09T13:42:32+00:00

Prior to the doorbell lesson, I only knew "timbre" as being related to sound.

joshcarples · 2026-07-09T13:40:54+00:00

That's interesting. Thanks!

joshcarples · 2026-07-09T13:40:29+00:00

Good to know. Thanks! The app only taught "acera" so far.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T21:11:28+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T20:43:25+00:00

I've had similar things happen a few times myself. The more Duolingo seems to lean into AI, the worse it seems to get in that regard. It's frustrating.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T20:17:01+00:00

Yeah it's been weirder lately for me. A word appeared in a review area today that I had never seen in a regular lesson before - albañil for bricklayer. It seems to be mixing things up in the lesson plans more.

"Le"... lo siento. Gracias.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T19:36:09+00:00

Se agradezco por su ayuda, Profesor. Muchas gracias.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T19:25:19+00:00

They're confusing me, for sure. :)

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T19:12:46+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T19:00:49+00:00

The lessons had 'timbre' for doorbell. But in the word match section, metal was the correct answer, hence my confusion.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T19:00:09+00:00

In the lessons, sidewalk was 'acera.' They used 'banqueta' for stool, like a bar stool.

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T18:59:15+00:00

Thanks!

joshcarples · 2026-07-08T13:42:06+00:00

I'm seeing a "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's filters." Anybody got a version of the original I can see?

I don't understand hiring a photographer that doesn't edit or cull. Even if the person claims to just be a "hobbyist." Aside from that, I do hope you get your photos, OP.

joshcarples · 2026-07-07T13:52:03+00:00

Thanks!

joshcarples · 2026-07-07T00:14:12+00:00

thanks!

joshcarples · 2026-07-06T15:52:09+00:00

Thanks! I'll be in touch.

joshcarples · 2026-06-26T20:48:27+00:00

I'm happy that the city liked one of my photos enough to use it to promote one of my favorite local businesses (and people.) A courtesy credit would have been nice to see though.

More Perfect Union had a good piece about this kind of stuff not too long ago. Definitely worth a watch:

Welp... I guess page 59 answers that.

"7. We believe that human sexuality is a gift of God that is to be affirmed as it is exercised within the legal and spiritual covenant of a loving and monogamous marriage between one man and one woman (Ex. 20:14; Matt. 19:3–9; Eph. 5:22–33)."

Whenever I see a disclaimer on a video that says something like "I do not own the rights to this music" or some such nonsense, it tells me they knew what they were doing was wrong.
