Just DuoLingo, watching Japanese stuff without subtitles (including cultural guides for further understanding) to force myself to listen, and then looking up words I don’t know when I come across them.

My goal was never to learn how to speak or write anything; just understand it well enough to watch Japanese media in the original language. I still often have to rewind and play back stuff to get it all. Especially if they are saying a long sentence really fast.

It also probably helps that Language itself is one of the things that tickles my autistic brain.

If it was a sign on a broken escalator, it’d be okay.

Still bleeding internally and will die soon, but he isn’t worrying about it!

What about now?

“I once spent an entire year talking through a fan to make my voice do the thing.”

I’ve been doing daily lessons on it for almost a whole year with the goal of being able to watch anime without subtitles.

I have achieved my goal almost completely. I just need to learn more vocab because DuoLingo has only taught about 150 or so words. Gamifying learning works; if you can stick with it. Which is the whole point in making it like a game: so you stick to it.

Whether or not that will continue to be the case when everything is handled by AI has yet to be seen. I am doubtful, considering how fucking God awful LLMs are at providing ACTUAL info and not just creating a madlib with what it has been trained on.

Use thunderbolts and lighting,

I hear they’re very frightening!

It’s just missing everything from above the shoulders.

I know I am normally recognizable, but currently if someone doesn’t have display names or avatars visible they probably won’t know who I am on this account since it’s my old username, from Reddit.

Having a pfp greatly increases my recognition of other users. So you’re already proving more recognizable than most users who have none.

Smokin’ latinas and bangin’ Newports, just as God intended.

I wish I could at least be like Ed and too stupid to understand how shitty it is here.

Nothing I do ever satisfies you! What do I have to do to make you proud, dad?! 😩

You’re telling me those are two different muppets? They look the same to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fine…

With fletching and everything.

Cigarette store owners genuinely surprised that you’re still alive every time you come in.

I have 5 google drives at 100% capacity with the images I save.
