the internet of today means i can basically live my life in japanese immersion mode despite living in america. all my devices' ui, tv shows, movies, games, radio, websites, books. me of 20 years ago couldn't even dream of such a luxury

It's gotten so much easier to start learning so many more languages, you used to be limited to the 3-5 major languages that a local bookstore or educational institution had decided it was worth making available, and now you can just like, look things up in hundreds of them

本当に贅沢みたいな感じですよ。英語使いたくなかったら使わなくてもいい。いつでもどこでも日本語の読み聞き練習ができます 人と話す機会は少ないけど、まあ、それは英語でも苦手なことで………

100% to the second, 99.9999% to the first. If we find intelligent life, it won't be the life itself, it will be evidence and/or artifacts because however big you think space is, it's a million times bigger than that, and given our own speed run to destruction, intelligence doesn't last all that long

in fifth grade we had a class spelling bee where the class winners would go to the school spelling bee, and potentially beyond my teacher intentionally gave me harder words than the rest of the class, so i didn't make it past the class contest am i still bitter about this? maybe

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly? That’s what talent is like.

i spent the weekend crocheting small orbs while listening to other people solve puzzles and that was solid actually small pause to the usual menu of existential crises and video games

my eternal Take is that phones should not be allowed to make noise

I don't mind videos autoplaying on my timeline, as long as they do so silently. Video + sound is the *worst*.

me in 2017: omg the most amazing thing about the switch is that it's truly region free. take a cartridge from wherever and play it in whatever language you want. the dream me in 2025: i was right all along i don't need games that aren't in japanese

phones should not make noise did you want to get my attention? well tough luck

i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

also i agree with everyone mentioning videos are you trying to give me information in video format? ok i guess i just don't have this information, fine

<3 vpns. internet fast enough to stream video. adjustible language subtitles (i'm glarin at you, crunchyroll). region-free video game systems. extra <3 to the switch where it doesn't even matter where your cartridge/download came from, your system language is your game language

this is it. i found my hunt in japan and maybe that's part of why it felt magical. every time i walked into a bookstore i walked out with more books than i expected don't get me wrong i love how the internet has made it so much easier to access japanese media but still

audhd life is eating the exact same food as much as humanly possible for anywhere between 3 days and 6 months and then never touching it again

it's okay to entertain yourself on a plane it's okay to do nothing on a plane it's weird to do nothing on a plane just to prove how macho you are for doing nothing on a plane
