Welp, I recommend getting it out of your system while you can

half finished bags of trailmix

Probably meaning backwards, highly conservative, people from there are seen as “hicks” or “red knecks,” have an abnormally high rate of incest and child marriage compared to the rest of the country, and any person part of a marginalized group would probably want to avoid.

And people will still insist on remaining there. I’m convinced Musk could shut down the site tomorrow, and people would continuously refresh until it somehow reappears.

Japan: We have medical knowledge from… experiments, and we’ll forever be your economic bitch!

But what if that anaconda don’t want none?

Am Anikin. Can confirm.

“They’ll ruin your life cause I’ll ruin your life!”

Lemmy has an extremism problem. Partly because of the lack of moderation tools (which is why a lot of mods supposedly left reddit in the first place) and partly because of the lack of moderation, or straight up complacency of some mods.

Why does every fad tech come with a huge environmental cost?

My favorite Deltarune boss!

“I’m just saying if they don’t hang down to here, you should use the Bakunyuu tag!”

The Island and Chicken Run crossover nobody asked for!

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.

Stalin:“Watch me end this man’s credibility”

Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin’s regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.

Rich and varied nuggies?

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.

I prefer having a physical game collection, but with the way physical games are handled now, with more than half the game needing to be downloaded to the console to cut costs or because they didn’t finish the game before release, it doesn’t solve the preservation or ownership problems anymore.
