YouTube's been pushing auto-dubbed videos hard lately... Once in a while it's a topic I genuinely want to watch, but then I know that if I click it, I'll have to endure the robot voice for a few seconds before I can get in the settings and switch back to the normal German.

So I'm sorry BR24 but no.

Hate #duolingo cards so much omg

The answer is 'I have gray hair', I typed 'gre' and my peripheral vision saw a card fly into the sentence, so I just assumed it was 'grey'...but alas

Just let me type my goddamn answer in peace please
