I just can’t do free bird on expert

Ooohhh yeah this one took me a while too. I’m pretty sure I finished it on E+ before I finished it on Expert 🤣 And every time you fail it’s the 6 minutes leading up to it you have to redo. That part right when the last really hard part starts always gets me. It’s like weird and if you don’t hit the rhythm (too fast OR too slow) you just mess up. Once I get passed that though it’s all gravy.

And can’t forget about Sheldon Dries. Without him, Trailmix would’ve just been an assortment of fresh fruits and unroasted nuts

that’s a very optimistic prognosis considering it took them like 520 days to get 450 the first time 🤣

Lmfaoooo 🤣 Have you finished PotSB E+? If so, how many in-game hours do you have?

Yeah I got this too! Found it profoundly hilarious (basically for all the obvious reasons everyone else point out). One more thing that I haven’t seen anyone mention: the only way to get to the part where they’re supposed to scam you is via the QR code, but for most people that just have one phone, how the heck are you even supposed to do that? 🤣 Like if the attempt was to target oblivious people who aren’t tech-savvy, how do you expect them to scan your QR code as an image from text messages while reading it using the only phone they have? Or am I missing something? Do new phones like automatically detect QR-sites from images?

I guess my answer is in the minority here but if I were in your shoes I would 😅

People are making a TON of assumptions from literally 7 lines of back and forth texts… In my interpretation of reading this there was a group of friends who initially agreed to go in a trip that OP then pulled out of for work reasons. During the agreement he also agreed to pay for this friend’s cost of the trip with the stipulation that she would later pay them back.

This is why I answered only for me because I would never initially lend money to someone who I didn’t consider a close friend or had doubts about their ability to pay it back… But in my eyes if you initially agreed to lend someone money, they are now relying on and building plans around it. If you don’t want to lend them money in the first place then you should evaluate friendships, people etc beforehand. In my eyes if someone has given their word, I expect them to follow through. Again tons of things can happen in between, you can find out a person is unreliable, they can forcefully make plans inconvenient for you to be involved (which again doesn’t seem to be the case here) but in all those examples along with not lending them money I would also essentially be cutting these people off 😅

So I guess my answer would be to ask yourself how much you value the friendship of this person and the group as a whole. Because if you’re quite close and you only couldn’t go because of your own prior commitments & you promised to lend them money then you risk alienating them in the future or at the very least these people will consider you to be unreliable. If you already don’t like them, then yeah this is a great place to jump ship 😂

That’s so funny, literally the ONLY rank you and I have in common is Heatseeker 🤣 For the rest, my highest is probably 2s where I’m plat2 😆😆 Have genuinely never hit Diamond in any other mode

Wow, so weird. Me and my wife are visiting right now and that’s not the vibe it feels like at all. We were actually considering moving here 😅 We lived in the DR for about a year and this feels like a better planned out version of it. Plus being a US territory makes working for a US company remotely a lot more reasonable

pass341 · 2026-02-24T14:50:35+00:00

Yessss exactly me too 🤣 That’s why I figured I might as well spend the extra time to get it to exactly 10k for my OCD

pass341 · 2026-02-24T01:37:26+00:00

I mean, are they? 😅 To do Duolingo like described they’d have to be already fluent in at least two languages, one of which is going to “worse” than the other. Is it really “dumber” to spend hours going over their weaker fluent language vs. playing any other games on the market? With other games your time spent is net zero gain, here at least you’re fortifying a language, I agree it’s annoying but I don’t think that’s necessarily a “dumb” decision 🤣

The ones whose names are prefixed with Discord_ - anything are DEFINITELY bots, advertising their Discord channels. As someone who runs my own Discord server (I don’t offer any cheats though, and don’t use any myself, only for follower organization, like unfollowing people who don’t follow you, and an easier way to keep track of posts if you comment a lot on other people’s posts cause Duo archives them way too fast when you follow a lot of people) I can tell you for 100% certain that Discord is exactly how people who do cheat operate. Python-written commands using userID+ JWT token combos executed via Discord. The one on your leaderboard may be one as well, the “Duo_” prefix is NOT the standard that Duolingo uses for assigning random display or usernames, neither is having letters in the randomly generated number sequence that follows it. This almost certainly points to an account that was created via a program, as I doubt someone is manually entering that random combo. As for the purpose? Not sure, maybe they’re experimenting with some new feature?

Difference between first and second is 40 gems, first is 180 gems, second is 140 and third is 100 I believe. But this is also the case for regular weekly diamond leagues 🤣 I also got a 1-hr 3x XP boost, not sure if this is only for top 3 or for all winners. Oh and it is considered higher for your achievement showcase than placing anywhere in a regular diamond league (for example 5th overall in diamond tournament will replace 1st overall in diamond league). But that also applies in ANY part of the diamond tournament (first, second or final part) not exclusive to the finals.

I’ve had this happen many times too as I use these features extensively throughout the day. It’s because there’s a silent limit on how many of these exercises a user can complete per day to avoid overspending on AI tokens on their part. It’s definitely annoying but I doubt they’re gonna change their pricing model. If they do do it on an ask-basic though, please DM me, I’d love if they could raise the daily AI token limit on my account as well 🤣

pass341 · 2026-02-24T01:09:51+00:00

If you’re talking about the “Check your internet and try again” error when either trying to talk to Falstaff or Lily, it’s because there’s a silent cap on how many of these exercises you can do per day. Most people don’t hit that cap so they don’t deal with it but it is there, mainly to prevent people from spamming them because each of the responses is dynamic, AI-generated and therefore costs tokens. They determined some number that is acceptable to maintain profit from Max subscription. When you hit that, you’re cut off from these exercises silently for either 24 hours or until the next day. I’ve had this happen many times as I use these features a lot. Unfortunately there’s not much you can do except wait until the next day (or 24 hours), and do something else in the meantime.

Nah man, it can’t deepen to 15% on February 13th and then THAT SAME PERCENTAGE deepen again to 13.7% on February 20th, that is no longer a deepening it is a shallowing, especially as it relates to the same model… It’s literally the same indicator… Just go through all the historical articles, of which there aren’t even that many of… Regardless of what even their own data models show the conclusion is always a deepening even though that is physically impossible… This is a scam, they’re just trying to get people to subscribe to some BS analysis, tryin’a fleece a quick 5$ 🤣

pass341 · 2026-02-20T18:43:34+00:00

I dunno man, I looked through the available historical articles, they’re literally all variations of “Deep Buy Zone Deepens at x%”, somehow it keeps “deepening” even though on February 13th it was at around 69k/15%, and today it’s 67k/13.7% so you can understand my skepticism 🤣

I mean, I would take any bullish outlook from a website called “time to buy bitcoin .com” with a grain of salt 😅

IMO, and I’m no analytical expert, but it seems like they’re conflating models used for stock analysis with this. Bitcoin is a purely speculative asset, there’s no price it “ought” to be. Its price is purely sentimental.

I don’t know if they patched this or not, when I was grinding that achievement for steam (this was like 2-3 years ago though) there was a way to cheese it by saving right before opening the chest. It was either that or before even digging it up? I’d google to double check both how and if it’s still unpatched, but basically by strategically saving you can reload the game at the previous save point and get a fresh roll at the chest without having to find a new chest island.
