I wish every addiction could drive people to learn an entirely new language.

Do you also send thanks to abusive partners because they force their spouses to learn to cook for them?

I mean, yeah. It’s great that homeless drug addicts get to know how to use the public transit system so well 👍

Yeah dude using an app is basically the same as being a battered spouse or a homeless drug addict. 👍

If you’re just “using an app”, the whole thing would be meaningless to you.

That's... what it is? It's an application on people's phones?

Great. Then we agree you can just remove it. No harm done and you can easily move on with your life.

And we also agree that they don't have to remove it, and if their hobbies motivate them to learn new languages it's good
