- Comment on How true is this on the first trip visiting Japan? 1 week ago:
Ah, the non-slop version of this meme. Nice work, thank you for your service.
I visited Japan in 2008, before Google Lens was a thing. My Japanese was rudimentary, like A-level. But I got by. I had a problem with my Suica card and the people in the subway station didn’t speak any English and my Japanese certainly wasn’t enough for the situation, but together we fixed it. And another time I wanted to ask something in a store and the woman had to fetch her coworker who spoke English, so that was fine as well. I would guess that today English is more wide-spread, particularly in Tokyo. So I wouldn’t be worried to visit today, when my Japanese is even worse than it was back then. I must say that trying to communicate with a language barrier, while frustrating, is also what brings us together as humans. Most people around the world are decent people and are willing to help somebody in need. That makes for nice vacation memories.

Now they can do what they do best: fuck all.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s amazing that despite their best efforts the fascist fucks lost. This is a big win. But at this point I have zero faith in the Democratic party to do what needs to be done.
- Comment on They say you can't hear images. 1 week ago:
It’s about how you show it. If it’s clear from the film that the behavior is not OK, I think it’s fine to show things that are absolutely happening in the real world. We get films and shows where cops murder people, steal drugs, whatever. And that’s certainly not normalizing this behavior. Not showing it is, in my mind, sweeping the well-documented asocial, asshole behavior of many cops under the carpet. Copaganda, essentially.
- Comment on They say you can't hear images. 1 week ago:
Dude, that would 100% happen when you give cops surveillance tools. Not showing that in movies is actually less realistic.
80s movies were so much more sexploitative. But this scene is just accurate.

Um, actually this is not adding Braille, it’s replacing the old text with Braille.

Drama with 5 episodes, 59 to 71 minutes each is god tier.

Yes, but it’s the kind of ultra-cheap gun you would pull out of a vending machine in Night City. The kind you throw away when the magazine is empty.

- Comment on Here's one thing we can all agree on 1 month ago:
I am aware of that tier thing. I just don’t understand who the hell designed that. Red is mostly associated with dangerous things, not the best. A Gradient from green to red is commonly used to rate things and green is the best. And when using alphabetic ordering it makes absolutely no sense to put S ahead of A and then going through the alphabet afterwards (A through F). This whole thing is ludicrous.
- Comment on Here's one thing we can all agree on 1 month ago:
I will never be able to handle this scale. A+ is significantly worse than A? S is somehow the best? And the color goes from purple to green to red, the best? Who the fuck designed this?

Weirdly enough, I, someone without dyslexia, find these fonts so difficult to read.

Sorry, Chernobyl only has 5 episodes. Also, Fleabag doesn’t sound like it’d be something for me.

- Comment on According to the New York Times, Game of Thrones is the 6th best TV show of the 21st century 1 month ago:
There’s only one show on that list where I’ve seen every single episode: Chernobyl. And that’s only because it’s a single, short season. I started others from that list and enjoyed them, but finishing them feels like such a big project.
- Comment on Anon sees an opportunity 1 month ago:
I don’t get the logistics. Even assuming it’s a 1080 stream, which is probably unlikely, the feet of a single person are just a few pixel. That’s like watching porn on a C64, your imagination is doing almost all the work.

- Comment on He's right, you know 1 month ago:
Your friend sounds like an snobbish ass. Just because something is offline doesn’t mean it’s not mediocre. There are many, many valid criticisms of social media. But when your friend mentions something they enjoy you don’t seem very nice when you tell them that what they enjoy sucks. Don’t yuck someone else’s yum.

- Comment on Languages have rules and follow predictable patterns. French: 2 months ago:
Languages have made-up rules by people trying to bring some order into the chaos that actual languages are. The only point of languages is to bring some point across. As long as the receiver understands what the sender was trying to say, it worked. No matter how “wrong” someone else might find it. All the crap about grammar and spelling is like >90% classism.

That’s something my father taught me. Always consider what your time is worth. Invest 2 hours just to save 8 Euro? Not a great deal for most people.
