ah yes my box side project that i handcrafted to be the Fenton Portal (it’s literally the side of a box, not—not a side project, though now that I think about it it should’ve have been, this literally was my final project)

"MUSICIAN: «When I started Emigrate, it was primarily about finding a personal balance. Besides Rammstein, I always lacked a certain musical balance. I no longer wanted to be just the guy who beams himself into a primary visual world every night, surrounded by fire and rockets,» said guitarist Richard Z. Kruspe to Laut.«I am first and foremost a musician. So I was looking for a project that was exclusively about music.»

From here @ironicxblue
"I have no clue what that means, but I'm going to assume it's offensive."
Izumi crossed his arms, glaring at the green-haired man standing across from him.
"Just because I'm more beautiful than you doesn't mean that you have to be rude."
“Its kind of cute you think you are more beautiful than me, when you are not even a part of Pretty Five, though Arashi-chan is~.”
He waved his hand slightly, how come this man who went to Europe and didn’t know such stuff as Mr.bean, not that Hiyori knew much than his name and he had once interacted with the British queen or something
“Ah, what a pity what an ugly face you show when you are jealous~ What bad weather.”

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)

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.
multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.
i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.
please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.
