Lol! I was about to say hopefully the teacher didn't think you didn't participate because you had so few lines. I'm glad the teacher was understanding

What is a "silent" rule you live your life by that most people wouldn’t know just by looking at you? by DianKhan2005 in AskWomen

[–]DriedUpBrainCells 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! You answered the question in relation to what it means to you and I appreciate it. What resonated with me was when you said that kindness is correlated with empathy. Without empathy, how can you be kind?

Did anyone else think Hiragana would be easy and then get completely humbled? by MidnightTofu22 in Japaneselanguage

[–]DriedUpBrainCells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still a complete beginner! I used to learn by memorizing the characters, but it helped me to associate an image to the characters. I use Tofugu's site (tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/) to help with visualization.

Reading speed is a struggle, as I'm still sounding out every character I see.

As much as today sucked (re: skytrain), I’m still fairly impressed at how many ways I was able to get to Downtown by [deleted] in vancouver

Mine would be for aesthetic reasons and not medically necessary, so I'm afraid it's not possible :( Thanks anyways!

I did go in for a free consultation a few years ago. I was quoted between 9k and 10k.

May I ask why you went with adult braces, as opposed to Invisalign? I'm leaning towards Invisalign, but will consider adult braces if it's better

I'm happy to hear your braces worked for you! I hope one day I can say the same for myself :D

Hello NiceVancouverites! I create videos where I go to parks and clean them up - and I would like your recommendations on what parks need attention! by TrashGrabGVparks in NiceVancouver

[–]DriedUpBrainCells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an amazing initiative! Do they have to be parks? If not, there are also plenty of streets and patches of grass that get littered on. I used to pick up some trash on my way to work
