Best Siblings Round 1: Intouch & Ahn (Until We Meet Again) vs Tian & Longtae (A Tale of a Thousand Stars)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Intouch & Ahn: "The women in Intouch’s life love him very much, especially his older sister. In always trusts his sister with his secret, and Ahn while worrying for him, always protect and take care of him, and she never reconsider his role in the life of her daughter. She was already a teen when he came into her life, she sang to him when he cried as a babe and held him when he cried as a young man, she tried her best to shield him from their father, and she should never have had to bury her baby brother so young."

Tian & Longtae: "They form a bond that is best described by the word brothers, Tian is out of place, a city boy living in the forest, while Longtae is a forest boy taking on the city. They hate shared experiences yet different and that is why their bond is so important. Torfun was the one who first inspired Longtae to go to university, it makes sense that Tian helps keep this dream alive"

Living an honest life doesn't mean I'll be happy in life. Nasty people who don't care about others always win in this life.

Law School. 7

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Suits (kdrama); the Devil Judge (kdrama)

This is a really really really good lawyer drama, especially in the first half of the series. If you’re looking for something strictly lawyer genre this would be definitely a go to one. Although in my unpopular opinion, I did think this drama was a smidge overhyped. Don’t get me wrong, it has a fantastic cast and the acting throughout is brilliant. It’s just the storyline itself was a bit ‘meh’ for me for some reason. Like as a lawyer drama it was fine, but the overall murder mystery was predictable at times and a tad bit too drawn out in certain places. I think maybe I would’ve liked it better if it was edited down so that in the end It would’ve flowed better. 🤷‍♀️ this won’t be a drama for everyone but don’t be too hasty at first to dismiss it. Try a few episodes first to see if you like it.

Best Siblings Round 2: Tankhun & Kinn & Kim (Kinnporsche: The Series) vs Intouch & Ahn (Until We Meet Again)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Tankhun & Kinn & Kim: "listen the way they love and care for each other is subtle. Kinn always makes a point to make sure Tankhun is comfortable and has what he needs and his safety is one of Kinn's priorities. Tankhun repeatable has Kinn's best interest at heart and will do whatever is in his power to protect him. Kim, even though he doesn't live at the compound, makes a point to see Tankhun to check in on him. Kim investigates Porsche after he was suspiciously hired because he was concerned about Kinn's safety. And Kinn is just so fucking sad that Kim doesn't talk to him. He just wants a relationship with Kim and he has no idea what Kim does in the background to make sure that both Kinn and Tankhun are safe."

Intouch & Ahn: "The women in Intouch’s life love him very much, especially his older sister. In always trusts his sister with his secret, and Ahn while worrying for him, always protect and take care of him, and she never reconsider his role in the life of her daughter. She was already a teen when he came into her life, she sang to him when he cried as a babe and held him when he cried as a young man, she tried her best to shield him from their father, and she should never have had to bury her baby brother so young."

Duolingo is NOT what it used to be.

“Duolingo is ‘sunsetting the development of the Welsh course’ (and many others)”.

I’ve used Duolingo since 2013. It used to be about genuinely learning languages and preserving endangered ones. It used to have a vibrant community and forum where users were listened to. It used to have volunteers that dedicated countless hours and even years to making the best courses they could while also trying to explain extremely nuanced and complex grammar in simple terms.

In the past two years it feels like Von Ahn let the money talk instead of focusing on the original goal.

No one truly had a humongous problem with the subscription tier for SuperDuolingo. We understood it: if you can afford to pay, help keep Duolingo free for those who couldn’t.

It started when the company went public. Volunteers were leaving courses they created because they warned of differing longterm goals compared to Duolingo’s as a company; not long after it was announced that the incubator (how volunteers were able to make courses in the first place) would be shut down. A year goes by and the forums—the voice of the users and the way people were able to share tips and explanations—is discontinued. A year or two later, Duolingo gets a completely new makeover—the Tree is gone and you don’t control what lesson you start with. With the disappearance of the Tree, all grammar notes and explanations for courses not in the Big 8 (consisting of the courses made before the incubator like Spanish/French/German/etc. and of the most popular courses like Japanese/Korean/Chinese/etc.) are removed with it. Were you learning Vietnamese and have no idea how honorifics work without the grammar notes? Shit outta luck bud. Were you learning Polish and have absolutely no clue how one of the declensions newly thrown at you functions? Suck it up. In a Reddit AMA, Von Ahn claims that the new design resulted in more users utilizing the app/site. How he claims that statistic? By counting how many people log into their Duolingo account, as if an entire app renovation wouldn’t cause an uptick in numbers to even see what the fuck just happened to the courses.

Von Ahn announces next in a Reddit AMA that no more language courses will be added from what there already is available. His reasoning? No one uses the unpopular language courses — along with how Duolingo will now be doing upkeep with the courses already in place. And here I am, currently looking on the Duolingo website how there are 1.8 million active learners for Irish, 284 thousand active learners for Navajo, and even 934 thousand active learners for fucking High Valyrian. But yea, no one uses them. Not like the entire Navajo Nation population is 399k members or anything, or like 1.8 million people isn’t 36% of the entire population of Ireland or anything.

And now this. What happened to the upkeep of current courses? Oh, Von Ahn only meant the popular ones that already have infinite resources. Got it. Duolingo used to be a serious foundational resource for languages with little resources while also adding the relief of gamification.

It pisses me off. It really does. This was not what Duolingo started out as. And yea, maybe I shouldn’t get invested in a dingy little app. But as someone who spent most of her adolescence immersed in language learning to the point where it was literally keeping me alive at one point, to the point where languages felt like my only friend as a tween, and to the point where friendships on the Duolingo forums with likeminded individuals my age and other enthusiasts who even sent me books in other languages for free because they wanted people to learn it, the evolution of Duolingo hits a bitter nerve within me.

~End rant.
