    Wife's streak is at 1,618 days across multiple categories. Almost 4.5 years. I imagine it's like smoking at this point.

    Does she actually speak the language she's learning?

        Having heard very mixed things about Duolingo's actual usefulness, does your wife speak or write well in any of the languages she's used the app to learn?

          The aggressive notifications to do a lesson are literally why I use it. I have ADHD. Without the owl threatening to kill me and everyone I know, I would forget about it and forget all that I've learned so far. 😔

            I think posting your high score might make people want to top you.

              I stopped using duolingo a couple years ago because I noticed I was just doing the bare minimum to maintain my streak instead of actually learning something new.

                Man I love to see that abusive Owl grovel. I also did this, good on you OP, may they see a consequence for threatening something good for the sake of greed. Eventually nothing is enough for the managers and they burn the whole thing down because of their personal addiction. This harms lives. We need to jail CEOs abusing power this way, that's the actual remedy.

                we should give the owl a robot body and let it fly around the boardroom, doing whatever occurs to it from one moment to the next

                    Gamification including social aspects if you're a regular app user.

                    Abusive ex if you aren't a regular user.

                    The only way it could get worse is if they put a slot machine or roulette wheel in to give you prizes.

                    I fucking hate the gamification they did to Khan Academy. Just give me the knowledge map back.

                          One notification like this and your app immediately gets notification permission revoked on my phone (if not uninstalled).

                          Most users aren't logical or sane like you, so this notification may actually catch their eye in their notification tray with 8k other notifications from cancer apps.

                            What is the actual point of a streak?

                            A sense of pride and accomplishment?
