duolingo’s been going downhill for a while (since idk they started to reward more for watching ads than for actually completing lessons), but i just got the update that swaps out hearts for energy… not sure how it makes sense to actively discourage the engagement of your users by penalizing them for using your program as intended, but okay.
i’m finally gonna have to say goodbye to my streak, end of an era 🥲
whatever, i think i can get Mango for free with my local library card!

Not to insert myself here but as someone who owns Ghost Rider 1 and 2 on DVD I do actually need everyone to watch it right now because in the second one a kid asks Nick Cage as Ghost Rider how he pees and Nick Cage says “it’s like a flamethrower” and then they hard cut to a CGI skeleton in full black moto leather pissing a jet of fire and then it does a shoulder check at the camera and nods like “hell yeah brother”
