There's literally no excuse for using it at this point, like, visit a legit website or two once in a while, you don't need a simplified robot generated answer just cuz it takes less time like bffr

False information, incorrect advice, loss of privacy and personal information, HORRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, oh and ofc its reducing our ability to focus or read an entire article just because that takes a few extra minutes like COME ON

All of us, myself included (most definitely so) are losing our ability to focus or even deal with being bored with how easy and quick this shit is, it's terrible for our brains, READ A BIT MORE AND DONT GO FOR THE QUICKEST FUCKING OPTION JUST BECAUSE YOURE LAZY GET OFF YOUR STUPID ASS AND WAKE TF UP WE'RE LOSING OUR ABILITY TO FUNCTION WITHOUT CONSTANT AND QUICK INFORMATION

no sentence fills me with utter loathing so much as "i asked chatgpt"

the pjo fandom is so funny to me cus we hated the official fanart so we got a fanartist so popular she re-did the new official art. movie so bad we forced them to make a new show

OSACAH?? LETS GOOO POLE POSITION BABY!

also- KIMI?? KIMI P4 LETS FUCKING GOOO

AND YUKI INTO Q3???

quali was awesome. race is gonna be a banger. kimi podium incoming?? 🤞🤞

I have nowhere else to document this so here we go:

Gonna do a no-buy for makeup, skin and body care products because I tend to hoard and stock up without realising 😭 and I get gifted makeup that I haven't used up.

I've been meaning to go through things but with college being college I haven't actually done much. And now that it's a new year, I'm making it a mission of mine.

So this is going to be my formal attempt at using up what I have properly for about two months minimum (I might need to buy some necessary products like sunscreen by then)

Goal: use up as much of the half used things I've got.

The stuff I'm going to tackle first (and document) are:

• a few mini perfumes that I got as a gift (very small, and the smell doesn't last so they'll be the first to go lol)

• a small hand cream thats half used

•my old b&bw rose lotion (only about a third left in it so it shouldn't be hard)

•a lipbalm (I have a lipbalm addiction and have collected wayyyy too many so I have to stick to one and finish it😭) I'm going with a Nivea lip balm

• an almost empty tub of aloe vera gel (I use it pretty regularly but I need to make sure I use it,cuz I already got a replacement 😞)

I've technically got much more to tackle but these are what I'm going to document for now 💪🏻 I'll update this at the end of the month and whenever I finish one of the products on the list!!

An update!

I finished up the lotion bottle (finally)

And I've used up two out of the five mini perfumes (no surprises there,they're tiny, half used and don't last long at all)

Replacing it on my list of things to use up is a half used facial cleanser for oily skin that my mom got for free and gave to me to use.

Wish me luck! 🍀

Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and the endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

Transparent Language: (Languages: THE MOST! Also the one that has the widest variety of African languages! Perhaps the most diverse in ESL and learning a foreign language not in English)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.
