I had two: I fell for a predatory gym membership for 24/7 Hour Fitness that charged my card even though I couldn’t enter the damn place without paying for an access card because “it expired”. The fuCK? And years later, fell for another one because the credit card was imposed on me by an Amazon subcontractor during training. They made it seem mandatory for logistical reasons, and I was oblivious. They made it as hard as possible to cancel the damn thing so a lot of people fucked over their credit.

I’ve learned a lot since.

I’ve completely cut ties

Fucking hell I was gonna say, you call that family??

OP, your image is 8 MB. Dear god, my mobile data, have some mercy D:

Not surprising when you think Twitter is the least biased social media out there. Your stance on porn boils down to “think of the children 😩” and you think that’s the end goal. You seem quite deserving of the US, so have at it.

I don’t think I ever did. Almost all the male characters were made to appeal to straight men and the gay ones reek of stereotypes.

Maybe Alistar from Dragon Age but he was perfectly bland and kinda boring.

I had a huge crush on Daniel Radcliffe but thought Harry Potter was dumb as rocks.

Nice. I love Zoe and I want a poster of her! I’m tempted to draw her myself, it could be fun.

I also feel the need to clarify that I’m a gay homosexual who does not “like” 3000-year-old women who look like children 😅

The only redeemable one is Phoebe. The rest feel like self-centered assholes, especially Ross and Rachael.

Firefly. I thought I could stomach sci-fi but I find it unwatchable for personal reasons. I wish I could but it’s not for me.

Oh, god. I had the pleasure of living in northern Oregon. I miss it so much, it was gorgeous everywhere I went.

Thank you! I’ll check it out.

Thank you for that! Kira Kira USA sounds a lot like what I’m looking for. I really liked Miku’s Real Japanese Pocast so this is right up my alley. Hehe

everything I do has to be esoteric

SYBAU = Shut Your Bitch Ass Up / So You’re Beautiful and Unique

It’s been around for a couple of decades and just recently got picked up on TikTok.

I’m also on Nova for now, but I disabled the updates. You can never be too sure once a project changes hands like that.

あっ、すみません、好きなサイトはどちらでも大丈夫です。

きっとチェックします。ありがとうございました～！

カッコいい! 皆と同じように僕も日本語を選びました。Lemmyで人気のある言語らしいですね。

でも昔、僕の場合は最初に漢字で勉強し始めたので、予想に反して、読むことや理解することが難しくなってしまいました。昨年から、オンライン新聞とウィキの記事を読み始めたので、単語や文法がだんだん分かりやすくなってきました。一歩ずつ進んでいくんですね！

ところで、日本語を読んで練習するためにおすすめのウェブサイトがありますか？

I hope I didn’t make too many mistakes. Writing is still a challenge!

I’ve been learning Japanese for a long time now. The funny thing is that I started at the wrong end by learning kanji first and then moving onto grammar and vocabulary in that order. Avoid what I did unless you want to be proficient at reading it without understanding it!

Although not all is lost, because I’m getting used to reading news and Wikipedia articles without much aid or effort anymore, and spoken Japanese is slowly getting easier. Understanding it is still proving to be a bitch from time to time but that’s on me!

Btw, does anyone know of great websites to read Japanese? I browse Gigazine.net quite a bit and many news outlets, but I’d like to mix it up and move away from politics and news in general. I’m still a bit shy about online forums, but maybe I should do that next.

I always find it amusing when I meet people who speak all three languages I do: English, Spanish, and Japanese. Well, admittedly, I also know a bit of French, but it’s so similar to Spanish that it feels like cheating to understand so much with so little investment. So yeah, when are you learning French next? 😆

You’re killing it, keep it up! 💪

Oh wow, there’s a product out there? I’ve been heating the back of a spoon on the stove and applying it directly to the skin for a minute all these years. You gotta do it carefully, but it works very well!
