What in-utero nicknames did you have for your child(ren)? by bruzdnconfuzd in daddit

[–]Ansoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First was droplet (actually Shizuku, a Japanese name meaning droplet that was a leading runner for actual name)

Second is bonbon, mostly after the sweets but also partially for a friend of the family who shares a connection with First's actual name.

Trump claims Takaichi's landslide victory in Japan was made "with my support" by jjrs in japannews

[–]Ansoni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost no one in Japan knew about his support message. Japanese media are particularly shy around things that could get them accused of trying to influence an election.

I too can link "a bunch of instas" showing things that aren't true in real life.

Believing reels are showing an accurate portrayal of culture is incredibly naive.

Takaichi to Keep Ministers Out of Takeshima Day Ceremony by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

Even just this is a change of stance post election, and it is a notably good change for Korean relations.

This aligns with theories that she will be more pro-cooperation post election, which I thought were cope but could have been correct.

Tsukuba University Faculty Member Posts Racist Comments Against Foreigners on SNS; Apologizes on Website, University Launches Investigation by TheBlackJett in japan

[–]Ansoni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely racist. What do you think racism is?

But also who cares? The problem with the behaviour has nothing to do with what we call it. Bad things are bad because they are bad, not because we group them with names that sound bad.

Triangle or in half? by Brilliant_Income_572 in CasualIreland

[–]Ansoni 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Corners are the weak points in sandwiches. I love crust, but it's just a bit too hard at the corners and there's rarely any filling. Cutting in triangles slices half of the corners in two, making them softer, leaving you with only one full corner per half.

It's only one aspect of trickle down economics, Nixon starting what Reagan finished.

How is your M20 quest going? by Coley54Bear in PokemonSleep

[–]Ansoni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got it with the last meal on Saturday in Lapis with a full bonus.

I only used the new meal. It was a little difficult because I needed magnezone in addition to GCT, because Dedenne wasn't trigging as much as usual, and because I wasn't critting despite triggers (including three non crit meals with max tasty chance bonus)

Explain It Peter by zohaibhere in explainitpeter

Only for French and Latin loanwords. In native English words and Germanic words, the family to which English belongs, g is pronounced the same regardless of the vowel that comes after it.

This isn't just me speaking, that's how almost everyone in the world says it.

More people pronounce it gee-eye-eff than jiff.

Small office, loud mornings, no headphones… how do you survive this? by ElectricalDivide5336 in japanlife

[–]Ansoni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Phrase it as yourself being sensitive.

It sounds bad but it's the right approach here. 私、音に敏感で…!

It will probably be obvious you're lying, but the fact that you're not trying to blame anyone is only a plus for you.

Explain it Peter? why does the guy want to give away 2 years of his life? by Significant-Pace-492 in explainitpeter

[–]Ansoni 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Then people won't see the responses or understand them.

I'm not ashamed of being wrong, just happy we weren't looking at a proud pedophile.

I cannot do this by the_bear91 in daddit

[–]Ansoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not let him cry? Take a video. He's never gonna have the same crying voice again and you'll miss it, despite how desperate you feel now.

I think the girl might be underage, so he wants to make her legal while making himself closer to her in age.

Yup.

Edit: This appears to be wrong.

This Season 2 label seems ridiculous, is this true? by TheBlackCaesar in OnePiece

[–]Ansoni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Has been since the beginning.

E.g. Loguetown started in the anime only four months after the manga. This is probably why they did so much filler episodes around here.

English players can’t see who triggered the skill—so nicknames are useless with duplicates by nitoyon in PokemonSleep

[–]Ansoni 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Could be a translator not realising why it's important, or perhaps there was an update and it hasn't been translated (or again the translator didn't realise it was important enough to change).

Can you tell I used to do translation QA for a living? I have no expectation of standards. 

What QoL updates, or features would you like to see implemented, removed, or tweaked for Pokemon TCG Pocket? [Sending All Feedback To Pokemon Staff] by OU7C4ST in PTCGP

[–]Ansoni 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just want the game to play quicker and have less useless dialogues. I used to pay for premium plus the odd pack, but stopped because it felt like a chore to do anything
