They also rescued Ruto, so must have finished Jabu Jabu on that basis too

I use DuoCards for flash cards. The word games are FOCLACH (basically wordle in Irish), litreach (guess words from people saying them in 3 Irish dialects) and seafóid (basically Waffle in Irish). The games are all browser based apps so not in app stores, but DuoCards is.

ETA while DuoCards has built in flash cards, I usually make my own based on the words I learn from all the other sources, and get the translation and grammar details from teanglann.ie, tearma.ie, or nualeargais.ie

My experience is that duolingo is a good component of language learning but is bad as a whole package. I have that, a flash card app, daily word games, and a YouTube channel for a children's TV network in my language. None of them individually would teach me the language, but collectively they reinforce each other and fill in many gaps. Alas, neither innovative language nor lingodeer have the language I want at the moment.

Some version of the phrase has been around for a couple years at least

I am using sync, yes. It's strange, in my inbox your spoiler format appears correctly as the colons, but in the thread it appears as greater exclamation mark. I think sync is not only using a different tag to make it work, but live changing other users' formatting 🤔.

I checked my post in browser and it was changing the less than sign to the HTML character code do that may also be the issue.

It showed up as a spoiler on my device, really sorry ☹️. I used the same tags as you suggested though.

Bg3 just pulled this off towards the end when you >!just removing the spoiler altogether as the tags didn't work for some people!<

There is an addendum to his plan that might have made it make sense. If he had said something like "I'm giving the universe the chance to make better decisions", suddenly having half as many people means (probably a little more than) half resource consumption, half the carbon emission, and more time to figure out and implement solutions to these problems. I'm not sure how the housing crisis would pan out, I expect it would get worse. It also makes more sense that he destroys the stones after "I gave the universe its chance, now the ball is in its court".

This also solves the doubling resource problem. His motives are to pressure people to change their ways. Giving them more stuff might cut hunger, but you'll just have that hunger again in 50 years and we'd probably increase carbon output to boot, and destroy more environment to get these doubled resources.

I don't know enough about the stones to say whether "infinite resources" or whatever cheat code would have worked, but they certainly could have dropped a line that it wasn't possible, or that it would cause more problems than it solved (how does chemistry even work in this universe? If nothing ever gets used in reactions then the chemistry that makes our bodies work is borked)

But anyway, as the Russos did not put this line in, the premise was flawed
