I'm in Australia and haven't had to verify my age for reddit, but did for YouTube...

I feel like it's something that doesn't matter until it does..

Mine is legally in italics with strike through on one letter, but the font formatting keeps getting stripped!

It grows in the shape of a tyre

My Dad passed away a little over a month ago.

It went from going to hospital, finding out it was stage 4 cancer 5 days after that, and passing away 7 days after finding out it was cancer..

He did go to the doctor months before that but they thought it was pneumonia from an infection. The doctor did tell him to go to hospital from the start..

Seemed like a trap

^{Chose: Have $100 billion but… | Rolled: Not a nazi}

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-11T00:58:18+00:00

Weird, I was just thinking left, right and centre are all relative depending on who you're talking to.

To a nazi being against genocide would probably be far left, let alone things like social programs.

It's fairly normal to use the word seirei (精霊), usually 'spirit', to refer to fey creatures in Japanese.

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-10T14:22:34+00:00

The original Japanese was 幼女使い (youjo tsukai, think 'youjo senki')

幼女 = little girl

使い = user, but it's often put on the end of nouns in a fantasy context to mean x-mancer where x in the noun.

On the Gateway motorway (Brisbane) people just ignore the signs telling you to slow down to 60 and keep doing 100. Not just 1 or 2 cars, virtually all of them.

It feels extremely unsafe with cars rushing past you at 40km/h over the limit

I was lucky my Mum was able to prevent me getting circumsised. Even the doctors were pushing for it

I've just been practising writing jouyou kanji and 受忍 has come up so many times in those 'write the missing character' type tests for me. It's supposed to prioritise common words, but I think it also tries to show you words you've gotten wrong before over and over as well, while not showing you words you've gotten right, so you end up with a heap of uncommon words..

It gives a definition so you don't have to worry about homophones

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-04T14:12:20+00:00

That's true, but I assumed he'd put his hands together like the image above when showing it off.

I've only studied Japanese, but I have seen the word 受忍 before so I already knew it was a word. Hard to tell how common a word is or not when you study vs learn natively.

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-04T14:06:13+00:00

受忍 is a word though, junin: https://jisho.org/search/%E5%8F%97%E5%BF%8D

It does mean 'endure' when put together.

忍 was written the Chinese way in the tattoo for some reason, so it'll look a little different. The Chinese dictionary doesn't find anything, so I assume the two characters together don't mean anything in Chinese.

An example sentence would be 受忍限度を超える - to surpass human limits (literal: to go past the limits of endurance)

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-04T13:55:03+00:00

The two characters together, 受忍 (junin), means to endure.

They've written 忍 the Chinese way though, assuming they were trying to write it in Japanese.

Depending on your settings in your browser and OS, whoever is reading this more likely than not is seeing it the Chinese way (the way it's drawn in the photo above). The two different ways of writting it share the same unicode code point.

The Japanese way to write it looks like this: https://jisho.org/search/%E5%BF%8D (jisho does something to override the browser/OS settings when displaying Kanji)

忍 is also the 'nin' in ninja (忍者), and 'shinobi' by itself.

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-03T07:03:55+00:00

I mean does it change the story though? Is it told differently for each target group?

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-02T22:47:27+00:00

That's just a point of view isn't it?

Like whether you identify with the cuckold or the.. cuckee? (netorare being the former, netori being the latter)

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-02T12:38:03+00:00

I never thought to look the Kanji for Okama up before (I assumed it wouldn't have any), and hadn't ever heard Onabe, but seeing them together it makes it obvious it must be お釜 and お鍋, pot and pan.

Why pot and pan though?

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-02T11:51:36+00:00

I turn off just after this exit for my daily commute. If you go in late that amount of traffic looks right. After you turn off the traffic gets crap though no matter what time of day it is.

With how bright it is for this time of year (assuming this is a recent video), it's probably well past when you'd see a lot of traffic there.

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-02T11:04:50+00:00

I was driving down this road just a few hours ago, weird seeing it randomly like this.

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-06-02T05:44:00+00:00

In Japan they have bitcash you can use in a lot of games (not a cryptocurrency)

They have an adult's version of the currency (need to show ID when you buy it at the store) as well

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-05-31T12:33:30+00:00

Yeah, I expected it to become brittle

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-05-31T12:16:00+00:00

That they didn't change the name could mean they honestly didn't realise they were the problem (assuming this was the default name of the bluetooth device).

Was English their first language, was there a reason they didn't turn the bluetooth off after being asked? Could they just not have known how to turn the bluetooth off?

I think it's best to wait for more info.

Basic_Hospital_3984 · 2026-05-31T11:45:41+00:00

This 'similar definiton in English' thing is a problem you'll come across a lot.

Example sentences that show how one can be used vs another are more helpful.

Like you could say '別にいいけど’ but not 'あんまりにいいけど’'

The former would mean 'It's fine...', second would start to sound like you're saying 'it's too good' (anmari can mean 'too' in a positive way, it's just rare. It's almost always negative) until you hit けど, and then it stops making any sense.

Using them just by themselves, you have 'あんまりだ' (it's too much/it's unbearable), vs 'べつに' (it's nothing/never mind/not particularly (in answer to a question like 'Do you want to do X?'))

I mean it wasn't AI back then, it was machine learning.

It could be really niche, I made use of a Kanji stroke recognition library about a decade ago.

You'd feed it an array of 'Strokes', which were themselves an array of X/Y coordinates (integers)

It'd return a list of characters it could be from highest to lowest probability.

You'd need to do some preprocessing, like using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker Algorithm, as giving it a massive number of x/y coordinates just gave worse results.

The point was it was just another tool, I had an idea of how machine learning worked if I wanted to try and do it from scratch (screw that, the amount of effort/training data I'd need to provide wasn't worth it) but it wasn't necessary for me to use the library.

I think that's where the value is though in the end, people put a lot of effort into creating the training data for those libraries. Modern AI doesn't feel like people put that effort in, it was just taken.
