I started using duolingo for japanese in maybe 2022 and quit in maybe 2024. I did 4 years of Japanese in high school and so I had a vague memory of grammar and some vocab. Duo didn’t really improve my situation; I think all i got out of duolingo was frustration.

Also, I can’t speak to other examples of it, but the gamification was ass. Games are usually trying to be fun.

was doomscrolling and got fucking jumpscared by this fucking article: https://www.science.org/content/article/meet-three-scientists-who-said-no-epstein

fuck this tweet and fuck yud

It’s his alt for people who want more yud spam, hence “all the yud.” From his twitter bio:

This is my serious low-volume account. Follow @allTheYud for the rest.

I liked the part where the reviewer is mysteriously compelled to visit France while reading this novel, which is notably set in France.

I’d chalk it up to the LWer inability to a) summarise and/or summarise accurately, and/or b) LLM usage.
