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?
“They’ll ruin your life cause I’ll ruin your life!”
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.
Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin’s regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.
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.
Like Winnie the Pooh! With my bare hands slathered in honey!
Didn’t read, sorry. Reddit brain made my brain work not so good.
Meanwhile, me and my siblings: “It’s raining sunshine!”
I really want to like it too. The UI experience on kbin has been good enough that I have stuck around despite the issues. Plus I like the culture of the site and the users I share it with. It would be a shame to leave it.
But this glitch in particular has really hampered it’s usability for me, and has me thinking if I should have my primary account elsewhere until thinks get more reliable there.
Commenting has been fine, but posting threads on the otherhand has been broken for me over the past 24 hours, and its affecting some other users as well, though it might not be affecting everyone.
What happens is I’ll post a thread or a photo in a community, and get this error message. I refresh, the post appears in my profile, but not in the community I posted in. I’ll get some other weird glitches too, like after some time passes, it becomes visible to others, I’ll get replies in the thread, but won’t be able to see them or reply, and so on.
I’ve encountered bugs on kbin before, but this one has been the most devistating cause it affects my ability to even post content. Before I would only get this error when upvoting on some threads, or when I tried to block a spammer.
I’ve been trying to be more willing to listen recently. Of course there are some people who don’t want to have a dialogue and will just post their anger and run. I don’t engage with these posts cause the user was looking for a reaction rather than a conversation.
But if someone is willing to explain why they feel the way they do about something, willing to hear criticism, and perhaps even ask me questions, I’m more likely to engage with them.
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.
Agreed. I just wish there was more to do post game that wasn’t just raids or shiny hunting.
Definitely looking forward to the dlc
Amen!
What have you done!?
