🤝 I too cannot sleep on my back! It just does not register as sleeping mode so my brain never even starts to slow down.

people on the internet have ludicrous expectations about the level of detail theyre entitled to about other people and it should stop. its actually not normal to be able to know everything about someone who you have never spoken to or interacted with based on their profile/posts.

This, to me, is amazing to hear, truly

Reply to comment by devtesla in should i upgrade my cpu? (or laptop???) by anethum
...i've genuinely never considered that ahahah. in my mind it's a given that if i got a new laptop i'll just use it for encoding and if the battery's non-removable then well it's fried lol. but yeah that's probably. that's probably an obvious available option to a third party reading what i wrote, huh

I'd laptop because yeah it wolves more problems. Maybe still using the desktop for encoding, it'll take longer but cause less wear and tear issues.
But yeah I definitely computer shop more than I buy Lol. I don't have a need to buy but I know pretty much exactly what I would buy if I needed to.

Reply to i deleted duolingo by emma
I hopped on Duolingo for a way to brush up on Spanish but all the questions are easy. I'm told i can just keep skipping ahead beyond where it puts you automatically, but I took their level assessment quiz to place me and I got no questions wrong at all.
I think they might be good for "I know three sentences of XYZ language or less, and want to be able to read a newspaper article" or something, but I don't know how much the format can help someone whose level is at "I can pretty much hold a conversation with a native speaker, if they're patient and understanding."

i haven't played the great ace attorney chronicles yet but i was planning on trying it in japanese before looking up the english version to see how it stacks up since it is set in victorian england so they do have less leeway to make it american (i hope?)
i don't have a switch but i imagine having the big screen option will make it easier to see finicky kanji!!

i'm aware of the text problem, and i'm going to get around it by playing it on switch and using the clip saving feature and/or the text history which was added in the hd versions
the english localisation is a mixed bag for me. i love the wit and general flow of the dialogue, i'm perfectly happy with the english names, i don't like the americentricness, and i hate how they keep digging when more and more japanese themed stuff keeps popping up and they need to explain how all this could possibly be happening in california. in the end, i kept coming back to play more of the games, so i guess it did its job.

my issue playing ace attorney in japanese is the amount of cut away slapstick jokes (not that many but enough) where i couldn't read the text before it autoscrolled. i love the ace attorney localisation and still wish they could've done aai2 even though it's been 13 years

in a sense, i did defeat duolingo. that thing is engineered to get you hooked on dopamine, with all the satisfying pling sounds and the leaderboards and stuff. clearly, i prevailed.
if i do get through ace attorney, i'll probably end up having learnt a disproportionate number of words related to anime court. i'm not sure how useful those will be in the duolingo's later courses.

sleepy eyes read the title as "i defeated duolingo" and.
if you actually succeeded with your phoenix wright method i think you might actually "defeat" duolingo too. so. full support

Reply to i cannot sleep on my back for a whole night by victoria
when i sleep on my back i have a pillow under my knees for support and don’t use a pillow for my head, or maybe sometimes just a small tube shaped one under my neck. i used to have a pillow under my lumbar too but i feel my body doesn’t want that anymore lately
because every body is different you kinda gotta experiment to see what works best for you
