Oh so we're applying the founding fathers owning slaves justification to queer persecution? Guess it's okay when everyone else is doing it.

Then again nevermind. I'm used to having our history downplayed by conservatives and reactionaries, including the ones that cosplay in red.

Not everything has to be chicken nuggies and potatoes.

As someone who reads Japanese, reading all kana can be slow because you are reading one syllable at a time. It makes going back to old video games and reading children's media tedious.

Once you know enough kanji though, you can read incredibly fast. Depending on the material, I can speedread faster in Japanese than I can in English.

This is because kanji is meant to be recognized at a glance rather than read in your head. The kana in Japanese sentence is supposed to provide grammatical context. So instead of reading "Inu ga ie ni nemashita" in my head, I'm seeing "Dog, in house, slept" from a glance.

So the downside to this system is that you're spending most of your education learning every character you'll need, but the upside is it can make reading very efficient once you have got it down. I think it's part of the reason Japan still has a pretty robust book culture.

How's the weather where you are?

Are you an ~~economically up and coming country~~ and also hate ｔｈｅ ｗｅｓｔ?

Meanwhile, me and my siblings: "It's raining sunshine!"

If I had more control over the types of ads I saw, I would accept this. Often I'm shown something very unpleasant in order to sell a dumb mobile game or something. If any of them had to follow the same rules many content creators had to, they would never be allowed.

The state of ads right now feels like what if Elsagate videos were mandatory to watch? If I really want to support a creator, I donate to them.

What have you done!?

We didn't leave reddit behind, we simply took it with us.

Moomer checking in.... Yoomer?

Yeah I think I'll just stick to "millennial"

If I needed a chip in my head to function in society, I think I would just withdraw from society. I'm barely comfortable with our reliance on smartphones and internet connection in our day to day lives.
