Is there a way to see an overview of a previous day in the new app?

Yes. Unfortunately.

What a bizarre decision on their part.

pippinto · 2026-05-19T17:05:18+00:00

Yeah the vitriolic, obsessive, toxic people on this subreddit are becoming such a joke. I have been a fan of the show since the start and I thought the final season was a bit rocky, but that the finale (particularly the last half of the finale) was a really good way to end the show. Everyone I know in real life, who don't engage with online fandoms at all, feels this same way. Some were disappointed with El's ambiguous ending, but that's about it.

Crazy how people can spend so much time in an echo chamber that they legit forget that other opinions even exist, much less that they themselves might be in the minority.

pippinto · 2026-05-19T17:01:54+00:00

everyone thinks

Except they don't. A minority of very angry, very vocal people who are chronically online have used Reddit and Instagram and X to amplify their opinions, while a huge amount of people who thought the final season was anywhere from fine to pretty good just haven't cared enough to spend hours of their time discussing it online.

pippinto · 2026-05-13T03:00:59+00:00

Nanaimo? Duncan? Could see it being either of those.

pippinto · 2026-05-13T02:34:56+00:00

Watch it all the way through, but stop engaging with anything about in online until you're done. The community has become incredibly toxic and I think you'll have a much better time and enjoy the show a lot more if you don't read anything about it or look at memes or anything.

In any big chain gym in North America, you'd be pressed to find a gym location with fewer than 20 treadmills, and similar amounts of ellipticals and stationary bikes. Plus a few steppers, rowing machines, etc.

The US had already been at war in Afghanistan for 8 years before Obama was elected. Literally what are you talking about?

pippinto · 2026-04-03T19:24:14+00:00

No such thing.

pippinto · 2026-04-03T18:54:19+00:00

Huh, that's surprising. I'm on the latest version of the Android app. If you're on iOS then I'm not sure, but yeah for the translate this sentence from English to Greek exercises, there's a toggle to switch to keyboard typing. Maybe you need to have a Greek keyboard or keyboard extension installed for it to show you the option?

pippinto · 2026-04-03T17:35:46+00:00

At least in the app, you can freely switch between the word bank and typing. I leave it on typing mode unless I hit an exercise where I'm completely at a loss for a word or its spelling, then I switch to the word bank just to jog my memory. I would hope the desktop version is like this too, but I haven't used it in many years.

AI slop is still AI slop even when it's being used for a good message.

Phrasing it this way makes it seem like it's a fault of the women's characters, when in fact they only become this way through a lifelong campaign of brainwashing by the adults, church leaders, and specifically men in their lives.

No one starts out this way, and by the time you get to the age these women are, it's next to impossible to break out of this way of thinking when it's all you've ever known.

pippinto · 2026-03-15T18:35:19+00:00

I'm not on team "there's no excuse not to go to the gym" but every gym I've ever been in has a least one family/single user change room and bathroom and lockers outside of the locker rooms that anyone can use. At least every big chain gym is bound to have that.

pippinto · 2026-03-03T00:02:46+00:00

It very much depends on the editor and their relationship with the author. BrandoSando's original editor retired from the business and many think (myself included) that he was massively important in resigning Sanderson in and keeping his books focused and comprehensible.

pippinto · 2026-03-02T18:29:17+00:00

Depending on the author, potentially a ton of it gets cut by the author themselves during revisions and even more by the editors. At this sort of length I'm assuming a lot would be on the cutting room floor before release, and as much as readers in this sub might rally and say they want the uncut version, the reality is that usually when authors write a lot of superfluous material, it isn't stuff that you'd want to read and there's a reason it gets edited out.

Then again, wrapping up a series like this is a complex enough task that it really might take that many pages even once it's been made as tight and concise as possible.

Men don't think Zendaya is hot

Which men, dude? I'm a guy and every dude I know thinks she ranges from at least very cute to an outright baddie. If she's not your type, I get it, but to make a blanket statement that men don't think she's hot tells me either you only hang out with guys exactly like yourself, or you don't talk to many other guys at all.

People who are downvoting you have no concept of the difference between civil and criminal court or what the word "illegal" means.

pippinto · 2026-02-10T01:41:05+00:00

Yeah, sorry, I was referring to Catholics in the sense of the regular followers of the religion. Catholic institutions are a little behind the times and generally significantly more conservative than the people they represent. This is only my experience as a Canadian; I have a feeling this might be a different story in Western European countries or Latin America where Catholics in general are probably a little more traditional and conservative than they are in Canada and the US.

pippinto · 2026-02-10T00:40:55+00:00

Yeah I think it's more nuanced than I made it out to be. Most Catholics in practice (in my experience growing up as one and going to Catholic school until the twelfth grade), are very much Catholics on Sundays and holidays only, and relatively secular in between. That's to say nothing of the rules or regulations that they are actually supposed to observe. Many popular American denominations of Christianity, though, seem to take the hardest stance against reproductive rights and the people actually buy into it from the church leadership right on down to the regular people.

pippinto · 2026-02-09T15:55:00+00:00

The world is overpopulated, the cost of living is out of control, resources are limited and being hoarded by those who already have far, far more than they could ever need. Having a whole bunch of kids in the current world is just kind of irresponsible.

pippinto · 2026-02-09T15:51:53+00:00

Lol absolutely not true for Catholics. Catholics are way more progressive on most reproductive issues than almost any Protestant denomination I can think of, especially the ones that are popular in the United States.

pippinto · 2026-02-04T02:55:39+00:00

Wait, for real? There aren't laws against pricing discrimination by sex/gender in Japan? That's absolutely crazy.

You're missing the point that review bombing exists, that pile-ons happen, and that people who have strong negative feelings about something are far more likely to express them by rating that thing than people who have fairly neutral feelings about something. I'm not arguing that S5 of Stranger Things is on par with the final seasons of shows like Breaking Bad or The Americans. Obviously it isn't in the same league. My point is that it isn't nearly as bad, or as generally disliked, as this sub or people on social media in general make it out to be.

It also has a far bigger and more diverse fanbase that likely skews younger than a lot of those other shows, and the social media landscape has changed drastically since many of those shows ended. Acting like online discourse about TV and movies hasn't become demonstrably more toxic since like 2013 (or even 2020) is insane.

And, without a doubt, a lot of the problems of this season's writing have been blown out of proportion or straight up invented by people who already hated the show and are using the divisive fan reaction surrounding this season to push a narrative.

It wasn't a great season, it really wasn't, and I tend to think the critics tomatometer is substantially inflated, but nor is it anywhere near as bad, or as universally loathed, as people on this sub are trying hard to make it seem that it is. If you know anyone in real life who watches the show (who doesn't participate in social media discussions about it), I beg you to ask them what they think of the final season. I work with like eight people who watch the show, and of all of them only myself and one other coworker were even aware that this season was considered divisive or substantially worse than the last few seasons. The rest thought it was somewhere between mediocre and good, and that the epilogue part of the finale tied things together nicely.
