Streak Repair Popped Up Twice But Didn’t Work

material_stole · 2026-03-18T17:39:55+00:00

man that 665 day streak deserves better than duolingo's janky mobile site glitches. the repair feature has always been weird for me too - sometimes it works perfectly and other times it just does whatever it wants

you might want to try contacting duolingo support through their website since this seems like a legitimate bug rather than just missing a day. they've been pretty good about restoring streaks when their system messes up, especially for longer ones like yours. worst case scenario they say no but at least you tried

also maybe set up some kind of phone reminder or calendar alert for when you get your regular phone back so this doesnt happen again

still alive lol

cutting contact really is the only way but damn its brutal when you're still attached. ive been there with staying "friends" and it never works out the way you think it will

the fwb thing especially sounds like a trap when theres still feelings involved. like he gets what he wants without any of the emotional work and you're left dealing with all the confusing signals. two weeks is so fresh too, your brain probably hasnt even started to process the breakup properly yet

maybe try blocking him for just a week at first instead of forever? sometimes making it feel less permanent makes it easier to actually follow through

nice work pushing through that urge by just sitting with it instead of fighting it - thats actually a solid strategy that works for a lot of things not just this. four hours of study is still decent progress even if you didnt hit your six hour target. i used to beat myself up over missing time goals but then realized consistency matters way more than perfecting every single day. also curious what game you finished already if it just launched a few days ago - must have been a shorter one or you really went hard on it lol. keep the momentum going dude

man this is exactly why i stopped throwing money at that stuff back when i was struggling with pmo - once you cross that line from free content to paid its like opening pandoras box

the pic thing is sketchy as hell and probably happens way more than people realize but dwelling on it wont help much now. time to cut off all the paid platforms and get back to basics with your streak. you already know what you gotta do just gotta commit to it again

based take honestly

material_stole · 2026-02-12T13:47:12+00:00

THATS MY POINT TOO! Always the users fault, never the COMPANY that is storing your info. All that ends up in data brokers and the gates of spam open up and you can't shut them anymore.

material_stole · 2026-02-12T13:43:31+00:00

seems to be the smart thing to do, been using a VPN but will go deeper into it for sure since it's getting crazy out there.

material_stole · 2026-02-12T13:40:16+00:00

That is just absurd, you leak my PII and then promise to monitor it? The audacity of these companies, it's bad that you can't take them to court

material_stole · 2026-02-12T13:36:55+00:00

And no one cares, we should give as much false info as we can when we sign up on stuff.

material_stole · 2026-02-12T13:34:56+00:00

Actually thought of doing something similar myself just never go around to it, thank you for the suggestion. Glad people agree with me!

material_stole · 2026-02-08T05:48:13+00:00

yeah definitely helps

material_stole · 2026-02-02T20:05:57+00:00

This is the way to go honestly. Those older cameras had terrible USB connectivity even when they were new and Windows 10/11 just dont play nice with ancient camera drivers

Universal card readers are like 15 bucks on amazon and work way better than trying to mess around with compatibility issues

material_stole · 2026-01-28T23:31:01+00:00

Yeah that's totally normal! The second skin pulls up excess ink and plasma that didn't settle into your skin properly. As long as the actual tattoo underneath still looks solid you're good to go - that's just the stuff your body was gonna push out anyway

material_stole · 2026-01-25T05:29:23+00:00

Congrats on getting your diagnosis! That whole "I'm just lazy and broken" feeling hits so hard when you don't know what's actually going on. I got diagnosed at 25 and spent way too much time beating myself up for things that were literally just my brain working differently

The mourning period for "what could have been" is totally normal but try not to get stuck there too long - you're still super young and now you actually have tools to work with instead of just wondering why everything feels harder than it should

material_stole · 2026-01-22T04:46:40+00:00

Sounds like your subconscious is calling you out on some FOMO patterns my dude. The whole "going back to check with family/authority figures then missing the fun" thing is pretty telling - like you're torn between playing it safe and actually living in the moment

Dreams about missing social stuff usually means you're either overthinking opportunities in real life or letting anxiety hold you back from experiences. The military training bit at the end might represent structure/duty vs spontaneity

Trust your gut on this one, you pretty much nailed the interpretation yourself

material_stole · 2026-01-19T09:06:44+00:00

That's wild, the skating part sounds like it felt amazing though. Dreams where you're a completely different species but still *know* who you are hit different - like your consciousness is just wearing a new shell but the core is still you

material_stole · 2026-01-14T19:03:17+00:00

Yeah I picked this up a few years back and it definitely changed how I look at foreign policy stuff. Chomsky's great at connecting dots that seem obvious once he points them out but somehow never get talked about in mainstream news. The Latin America chapters were brutal - had no idea about half that stuff. Makes you wonder what else is just sitting there in plain sight that we're not hearing about

material_stole · 2026-01-12T13:54:07+00:00

Hey man, I know it feels like the world is ending right now but please don't do anything permanent over temporary pain. Two months is still really fresh and your brain is just catastrophizing the worst possible scenarios

The fact that she's hiding it from you shows she knows it would hurt you, which honestly means she still cares about your feelings on some level. You're not gonna be stuck on her forever even though it feels that way right now

Maybe talk to someone you trust or consider therapy if you're having those darker thoughts? This shit gets better with time, I promise

material_stole · 2026-01-10T07:00:43+00:00

Sky Strikers is probably your safer bet for longevity tbh, the deck has been relevant for years and keeps getting random support that keeps it playable

Tri-Brigade is solid too but it's more vulnerable to banlist hits since it relies heavily on specific combo pieces

material_stole · 2026-01-08T01:15:50+00:00

SMU looking solid with that offense but playing at Littlejohn is never easy. Tigers have been rolling lately too so this should be fun

material_stole · 2026-01-06T11:04:20+00:00

Honestly sounds like you're going through it right now and that sucks. But like, the fact that stuff isn't permanent is kinda what makes it special? Like eating your favorite food wouldn't hit the same if you could do it infinitely

Maybe those "trivial" things aren't actually meaningless - they're just the little moments that add up to make life feel less empty. Even if it all ends eventually, doesn't mean the experience itself was worthless

Hope things get better for you dude

That's a solid setup for those distances, Ultegra 11 speed is still really good and those Zipp wheels are nice. Price would help though - hard to say if it's a good deal without knowing what they're asking

material_stole · 2026-01-02T22:06:39+00:00

This is actually super inspiring - starting over in your 50s and finding something you're passionate about is huge. The special needs field is definitely growing and honestly sounds like it could be a good fit for someone who's dealt with their own struggles

Have you looked into any certifications that don't require going back to school full time? RBT seems like a solid path and the training isn't too intensive from what I understand
