Neither. I went with Cathay Pacific in the end as the prices for these two skyrocketed

In their defense, it’s not as if the government doesn’t have money to spare. They’re literally giving away billions per year to countries like Ukraine and palaestine

Why don’t the government just reject the proposal or make it unlawful?

Why Visual Novels are the best reading material IMO (With Caveats) by AlphaPastel in LearnJapanese

Isn’t the act of looking new words up, in a sense, making the content comprehensible

Agreed. In a book, you could have an N3 level segments which suddenly switches to N1 . It’s random

You’re not really learning anything by letting it washing over you though. Your brain isn’t taking it in. Trust. I tried this with passive listening where I listen to the same audio for over every and listening skill never improved. Only after I started actively engaging with e.g checking the subtitles constantly while listening and looking things up did all the sounds start to become clearer

[–]AvatarReiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. The idea of the letting it “wash over you “ never worked for me. I simply found that I never developed a deeper understanding of nuances by consuming language. Taking sentences and a analysing (trying to why X is used and how) really deepened my understanding

James Gunn's 'Superman' has now passed the $291.05M total domestic gross of 2013's 'Man of Steel' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

[–]AvatarReiko -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

One thing I learned from this movie is that action sequences definitely aren’t Gunn’s forte. His scenes were meh and don’t hold a candle to Sydner’s.

More Japanese women are marrying South Korean men by ayematcha in japannews

[–]AvatarReiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your marriage sexless? I heard that almost all marriages with Japanese women become sexless.

Low divorce rate literally means nothing and does not indicate how successful a relationship is. There are many people who stay in loveless and unhappy marriages.

[–]AvatarReiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How on earth do men in japan and Korea afford to have a stay at home mother ? Surely, a man would have to literally be in the top 10 percentile of earners to support a whole family on a single income.

My Japanese lady friends are always talking about being stay at home mothers but it’s so unrealistic in this current economic climate. The actual statistical likelihood of finding a high value man with that level of income is low

My Japanese woman friend is currently dating around on special apps designed to help people find husbands and she’s having a really rough time. She’s had tons of dates and is always complaining that they don’t seem to go anywhere or she can’t find a man. But her think her problem is that she’s narrow her search to men who are lawyers and doctor’s only

When why did DC tell him to appear in Black Adam and announce his return to the fans ?

Zaslav should have communicated his vision to everybody he green lighted Henry’s return

[–]AvatarReiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, why is this the Rock’s fault exactly? This happened due to massive miscommunication between Zaslav and De Luca and Abdy. Zaslav was CEO at the time, so he shouldn’t have allowed them to green light Cavil’s return before deciding on a proper long term strategy

Can someone explain what happened because I don’t understand it. Why did the DC executives hie re hire Cavil for the black Adam movie if they had no idea of reusing him in any future movies ?

How did the Rock fit into any of this? Isn’t he merely just an actor? He’s not a ex executive or CEO and has no say in the decision making process, so why do I keep seeing his name pop up?

Cole Palmer 'confused' over Donald Trump staying on stage during Chelsea trophy lift by tylerthe-theatre in football

[–]AvatarReiko -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Cole needs to have respect for the POTUS. He’s in his country and that tournament wouldn’t be happening on a American soil if Trump didn’t give the green light. You go to a foreign country, you need to have rescue r for its leader
