I wish I had a parking space right in the middle of a seaside highway.

This is what Plato warned us about. There is one perfect Japanese Jesus living in the digital world and every analog object is a flawed representation. But since we are flawed copies too, these misprints will fit perfectly with my vibe!

Should have kept the domain in question form, can't be sued and forced to give up the domain for asking questions.

Tsk, goth infighting is the reason the goth population is dwindling. Visigoths and Ostrogoths should work together and take back northern Thracia!

If you're interested in learning the language, but don't have 3 years to prepare:

Jisho.org is an online English-Japanese dictionary that helps you find words by selecting radicals from a chart. You can learn to break down 99% of common kanji into their radicals within a week and then it's a matter of selecting 2 or 3 radicals in the chart and matching the picture. Finding all the kanji in a sentence (or more likely, the three kanji on a menu item) should give you a decent idea of the full meaning. Now you point at the menu, say the standard question from your phrase book, give a polite nod, hold out your money at the appropriate time, and you're nihongo jouzu.

Edit: I would only recommend this method if we're not using Google Lens. Lens is way faster and you can still decipher the menu with your dictionary after your food arrived.

Hiragana is a kind of alphabet imo. It maps a single character to a single sound.

Inb4 we argue about what counts as a "single sound".

I agree that not everything is related to Donald Trump and America's system of government.

I wish some subjects could be apolitical: there's no reason for trans healthcare to be politicized while other healthcare is seen as a basic need. But as we know, even "healthcare is a basic need" is a topic of political discussion in some countries (cough). The choice to make it "apolitical" is itself a political act. So yes, everything is political. From the food you eat to the music you listen to.

A lot of smug nerd boys got tired of being smug and switched to enthusiastically spreading weird trivia to people who aren't really interested but don't have the heart to tell them.

Fluttershy is freaking cute though. By the transitive property, ergo, logically this means you are freaking cute,

Looks like me when I'm crashing in a nook of the printer room again because the office is being too loud and it's freaking me out

Beer is beeru, hotel is hoteru, taxi is taxi. The only real difficulty I encountered is when the waitress asks you what she should write on your omurice and you can't think of any animal names.

You have to think as an American and see that it's about cars, drive-throughs and lane merges.
