Looking to create or join a Steam Family account
Main Post:
Hi! I'm looking to create or join a Steam Family account. I've had this account for over 5 years, but I had a very weak PC. However, I ended up buying a more robust setup that runs current games. These are the games, but next month I plan to buy Baldur's Gate 3 and Black Myth Wukong. If anyone is interested, call me on Steam.

Can you join a family plan while on an individual plan?
Main Post:
My family is holding up renewing our yearly subscription so i was thinking, if I do a one time payment for a solo plan (one month), can I later join the family plan even if the solo one hasn't ended? I wanna do this so that spotify doesn't delete my downloads. cba downloading again

As long as you dont delete your account you will not loose anything. And you can always get back into the family plan again. Once subscription runs out you will just get the basic account with adverts if you dont have a membership paying plan.

EDIT: So so many great and amazing people that have commented to this post, and I truly wish that I had more room in my family plan but sadly all the 4 slots have now been filled. I wish you all the best for 2025 and happy language learning! Together we all make up an amazing community!
Hello fellow language learners!
I've been using Duolingo Super since May 2023 and I currently have an active family plan that will last until June 2025, I bought it for myself and a friend of mine which already is a profit. This means that I have 4 open spots remaining in my family plan and nothing would make me happier than filling my family plan to encourage more active Duolingo users to practise their language even more with Duolingo Super! This ofcourse, for free. I do plan on renewing the family plan in June once it expires.
All I ask of you is that you're active enough on a daily basis and not just doing 1 lesson a day to extend your streak. I'd very much like to help those whom really would benefit the most out of having the Super perks!
Interested? Tell me a little bit about your Duolingo activity and I'll happily contact 4 people via Reddit PM with an invite link (no need to share any secret information!). There's no minimum requirement of streak or XP, all I'm asking is that you're somewhat active on a daily basis so that you really benefit from these amazing perks!
Lets learn some languages together!
Happy new year!

Maybe. She’s a good shielder that can hold VV.
For DPS like arle that benefit from Zhongli but also want Kazuha, it can be a nice compromise to chuck her on get two more offensive supports
Best way to join T-Mobile and bring my family onto my plan (who are all on T-Mobile already)

With some lines already being on T-Mobile those lines don’t qualify for any new customer incentives. Only lines coming from another carrier will.
The Costco guy was correct. You can move your line over onto T-Mobile and get whatever promos you’re looking for,for that single line itself. Then you would be doing Transfers of billing responsibility through customer care to move the other lines onto your account. Then after that is complete you will have 4 lines on Go5G plus under your account.
4 Lines Go5G plus would be $220 with autopay discount with debit card or bank account.
AITA Update: Refusing to Join My Family’s “One Gift Swap” Christmas Idea?

AITA Update: Refusing to Join My Family’s “One Gift Swap” Christmas Idea?
So, I posted here a while back about this (WIBTA for not wanting to do my family’s “one gift swap” Christmas idea). Well, buckle up because here’s the update. - You can find the original on my page.
TL;DR Recap:
My brother Dax (24M) suggested doing white elephant for Christmas instead of exchanging individual gifts. This idea was... not well-received. I (22M) am in a family group chat with Dax, my other brother Leaf (27M), their wives Megan (29F) and Blaire (27F), our mom (61F), stepdad (60M), grandma (79F), stepsisters Edie (22F) and Tatum (19F), and my partner Maeve (23F)—who isn’t in the chat but is VERY relevant here. Dax announced his idea like a dictator issuing a decree, not like, “Hey, thoughts?”
Let’s just say... the family vibes have been shaken.
What Went Down:
A few days ago, Grandma told us Dax had something “important” to share. Turns out, it was him rehashing the white elephant plan, complete with rules. And not like, “What do you guys think?”—more like “This is what we’re doing, no discussion.”
Here’s the thing about Dax: he’s a control freak. Last year, he strong-armed us into Secret Santa, which most of us hated but didn’t challenge because... you don’t mess with Dax. This year, I decided to grow a spine and said, “Hey, this isn’t fun for most of us. White elephant feels corporate and joyless—it’s not what Christmas means to our family.” I even suggested sticking to Secret Santa if the issue is cost.
Apparently, this was blasphemy.
The Fallout:
Not long after, Mom called me in tears. She admitted the white elephant idea made her feel awful. She said it hurts that her sons don’t want to buy her a Christmas gift anymore, especially when she does so much for everyone. She then went full mom mode in the group chat:
- She said she doesn’t like the white elephant idea because she loves personal gift-giving.
- She directly asked Megan and Blaire if they planned to skip individual gifts for their own families too.
Both Megan and Blaire said, “Oh no, we’ll still get individual gifts for our families!” Cue Mom’s second call to me—angrier and sadder. She feels like she’s being treated as a second-class family member by her sons, who’ll put effort into gifts for their in-laws but can’t be bothered for her. (And honestly? She has a point. My brothers either buy her last-minute junk or forget entirely.)
Maeve and the Stepsisters Join the Rebellion:
I called Maeve to vent, and she was fuming. She’s been budgeting over $300 to get thoughtful gifts for everyone (first Christmas with my family, wants to make a good impression). She said if it’s going to be white elephant, it’s a waste—her gifts won’t even go to the right people.
Meanwhile, my stepsisters Edie and Tatum jumped in to say they also hate the white elephant idea. Edie even called it “lazy” on Dax’s part. (Hero.) Dax, feeling the heat, proposed a vote: White elephant or Secret Santa. By this point, though, I was done. I dropped out entirely, and so did Edie, Tatum, Maeve, Mom, Stepdad, and Grandma.
Enter Blaire, the Plot Twist Queen:
Blaire suddenly chimed in with a new idea: “Since so many people are dropping out, let’s just do gifts for the kids.” She framed it like a compromise, but really, it was her way of shutting down the adults entirely. Dax, Leaf, and Megan jumped on board, and Dax declared, “Christmas is only for kids.”
Okay, sure, Dax. 🙄
Where Things Stand:
So now? It’s chaos. Mom, Maeve, Edie, Tatum, and I have decided we’ll exchange gifts with each other. We’re still getting presents for the kids because they’re innocent in all this, but Dax, Leaf, Megan, and Blaire? They’re getting nothing from us.
Christmas plans are totally up in the air, and honestly, this whole thing has killed the holiday vibe for me. It’s a mess, and while it’s not the resolution I wanted, at least I know who’s on Team Christmas Spirit.
Final Thoughts:
If Christmas is “just for kids” now, then Dax, Leaf, Megan, and Blaire can go be kids together. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here with my mom, stepsisters, and Maeve, celebrating with love, laughter, and thoughtful gifts—
So yeah. Not the happy update, but there it is.
Thoughts? Am I still the a-hole? (Also, any tips for surviving awkward family Christmas dinners would be much appreciated...) 🎄
Top Comment:
It's time to tell Dax that he either starts treating your family like family or doesn't bother coming. His kids can get gifts from the other side of the family. I am sorry, but you don't allow people to treat you like crap but still spoil the kids. It's showing the kids that it's OK to treat people like that.
Updateme!
