Welcome to the discrepancies in the ME. Arabs are taught, blatantly and openly, that Jews are evil, while they have probably never seen a Jew personally. Israelis, on the other hand, don’t learn anything about Arabs being bad, while we are *intimately acquainted* with Islamic terrorism. ככה העולם, אבל עדיין אנחנו מצטיירים כגזענים בסיפור הזה.

Yep, it just annoys me when people act as if ultra nationalist nutjobs are a phenomenon unique to Israel or Jews. A lot of countries around the world have similar nutjobs and you don't see people protesting around the world against them, but Israel is always singled out. It's not criticism of some Israeli actions that annoys me but the double standard does.

See it's not can/can't but do/don't. Apps are shit by and large for more advanced levels because of startup mentality (get 20% to appeal to 80% which are beginners). You can make a good one but it's wasted effort since serious learners already use books. You're not gonna hire an expert teacher to make you a course if you're building a gamified language app since very few people get there in the first place.

Not necessarily can't, but won't. Theoretically an app could be fine. But Duolingo above all else wants you to be engaged, and language learning is hard. If you feel like you are struggling, you will stop. Duolingo doesn't want that, so at all costs they make sure you never feel that you are struggling. But that means you are only ever really learning surface level stuff. Mostly vocab. What you need is a mix of in depth grammar stuff, and conversational partners. Language is about communicating. You can't learn how to communicate by studying vocabulary and simple sentences over and over.

Brainrot, stop using the word “nazi” and fascist as insults. It is disrespectful towards the people who suffered through the Holocaust and other atrocities committed by fascist regimes. It trivializes the pain and suffering of millions and undermines the very real dangers of these ideologies. Not even speaking of the fact that it is not a proper word to use here. The current political climate is complex, and using these terms carelessly only serves to shut down meaningful dialogue. Instead of resorting to inflammatory language, let's focus on addressing the actual issues at hand with nuance and respect. If you want to express disapproval or disagreement, there are plenty of other ways to do so without resorting to historical trauma. Choose your words carefully and remember that language has power. No im not pro russia im not putin liker i just hate to see how it became a trend to use fascist and nazi as an insult. It is very uneducated

Hate to get on the instructional design soapbox, but OK sure. The gamification elements of Duolingo are actually something that a lot of us are trying to mimic in the field of adult education. It’s fantastic, and a really good way to encourage learning in adults, especially when there are no structured classes or committed Teachers. The problem is that e-learning can only get you so far and self-paced learning even more so. I’m an active Duolingo user and I have been for the last two years and I do feel like I have benefited quite a lot from it and would love to tap into their UI when designing my own. It’s not meant to replace going to a language class, but considering the amount of adults that actually have time to sit down and learn a language, it’s absolutely fantastic. I think diminishing the game elements of Duolingo are coming squarely from ignorance, unless you happen to be in adult education, in which case I would be really interested in hearing about any studies or information that elements are not conducive to learning. My primary constructive feedback for them is that the AI is atrocious at determining what your weak spots are and the practice hub is severely lacking. Other than that, though, it’s a great product from an adult learning perspective. My secondary is that with the limitations of the platform, it doesn’t spend enough time working on teaching you how grammar works, but again, I think there’s only so much you can do with non human supported e-learning to make it effective. But again this is an application that people use incredibly casually, it’s meant to be a first dip into learning a new language or used as a supplementary language experience. This is not an app used by anyone who is incredibly serious about high-level language skills and has never promised to be

If you are serious about language, as in you want employment/study ready level in about 2 years you need to learn about 20 words a day on average, to be on the safe side. You might get away with less, a little less. Duolingo is so much less than that. That's why it is meme how people who did Duo for 5 years aren't actually great at the language. That said Duo is fine for giving you a baseline. It is a fun start. Do it for a month then stop.

Correct. This is a post about duolingo. The comments for which display vocal support for taking action against it. I am pointing out that much of this action is performative in nature (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performative_activism) and does not carry over to companies that people are more fond of / engage with more often. Is basic conversational flow too much to expect or is your argument so shallow that it needs to be restricted to one very specific example?

Due to the low/no-cost, Duolingo is also good for kids. I still use Duolingo, but mostly to ask questions about what i still dont know about a language.

I don't know netflix, x or spotify but I know reddit and youtube quite well, also a couple other smaller services. All of the ones I know have problems related to profit-seeking, but there are workarounds available all of them that (for me, at least) render them fairly workable. Duolingo I ended up paying for because it is worth it to me, the cost is quite modest and the paid service fairly good. I guess it might get worse in time as the drive for profit becomes fiercer, but at least up to now I get content that is worth some slight inconveniences at (close to) zero cost.

So you're suggesting that if we changed the constitution so that the authority of the monarchy is exercised by an elected head of state, that wouldn't be a republic because that was put in place within the framework of a monarchic constitution? That seems a bit pickier than most people would be about it, but okay. Let's say that you declare that the citizenry collectively form a legal person, put in place democratic processes for that legal person to make decisions, and then that legal person succeeds to the throne. Would that not be a republic instituted within a monarchic framework?

It is, demonstratively, the same parliament. This is an extremely basic fact that forms the cornerstone of British politics. The entire British constitution is based upon precedence, laws, and traditions that can date back to even before the Commonwealth. Parliament today is a parliament that's built upon the changes and progressions made by its members in the preceding centuries. The precedence of the Commonwealth, and literally hundreds of years worth of Parliament establishing its power over the monarchy and the nobility, demonstrates its sovereignty and ability to (if it chose) abolish the monarchy. >It doesn’t demonstrate that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland can exist without a monarch, especially after the acts of union in 1707 Parliament cannot bind a future parliament outside of extremely rare cases. Parliament today could produce an act that abolishes the union if it wished. >So you’re giving legitimacy to the monarchy because the voter hasn’t made it a single election issue? If voters cared about it enough to make it an election issue, they would. >How many kings has parliament crowned outside the “royal” bloodline. Seems like I can’t be crowed a monarch cuz of my birth as a lower caste There is nothing preventing parliament from doing such things, if it wished to do so.
