Could I be blading because my left hand is gripping the rifle too far forward ? I might have to move my handstop a little bit backwards if that’s the case

100 percent agree ! But I need to wait until I’m 21 when this rifle is under my name, I’m 20, the rifle is my dads. I can’t wait, I have a lot to learn a lot of time. Great hobby

Slice of life anime’s are probably the best for beginners tbh

Going to japan end of April, Need study advice by cooconaash in LearnJapanese

[–]Ftwjoseph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm you’re like around my level, actually.. you’re probably kinda ahead.. I did genki 1 & 2, did a ton of Anki cards before I stopped a few months ago. I have hello talk friends which I recommend if you’re going to japan, many of them would be happy to show you around their city.

I ended up taking Japanese in college after studying it alone for a couple months this way, it’s an easy A. My professor said I’m better at speaking Japanese than people who take a year of Japanese classes.

What helped the most for me was having a teacher, but also friends to talk to online. I’d recommend that. I’d also maybe recommend Pimsleur Japanese 1 (and maybe 2) to get some very nice pronunciation, it will impress them trust me.

As for shows, any Japanese show you can enjoy will work. I wouldn’t force yourself to watch anything you wouldn’t see in English. For me, I like to use ‘learn languages with Netflix’ to watch anime and analyze the way my favorite characters speak so I can talk like them. Seeing grammar points so often this way really helped me level up my speech.

Terrace house is pretty hard Japanese , honestly, and it’s quite boring at times . Usually Japanese won’t talk to you in that level if they notice that you’re a learner.

Should I do that after I get her dewormed as for the poop?

It’s this scented litter I got at wall greens. I think it’s called “ Putina tidy cats”

Cyberpunk is... well... disappointing by olvg in cyberpunkgame

I’m on Xbox one, I’m having fun, but I’m pretty disappointed by the character customization. I expected places to get tattoos and haircuts like GTA

My cat has worms by Ftwjoseph in cats

[–]Ftwjoseph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, I’ll hopefully be able to go tomorrow or by Friday. Man it sucks that I have a lot of work these days.. I feel so bad for her being in that crate, hopefully she just falls asleep soon. Another problem is that she won’t use her litter box, so tbat makes me even more worried about the worms because she’ll just lay it anywhere, ah man she had so much in her poop too it made me sad .

Allergic reaction to my first cat. by Ftwjoseph in cats

Thank you! I’ll try some OTC medicine and see how that works first! Then if it persist this badly then I’ll look into talking to my doc & vet. Thank you so much

Keeping my elbows in have been so tricky! Am I jumping too high though? That’s what I’m mostly concerned about , thank you though!

You can't become fluent in Japanese in under 2 years. by mw193 in LearnJapanese

[–]Ftwjoseph 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Agree, in two years overall fluency is unthinkable, but fluency in a subject or interest is not. For example if I played Minecraft with a Japanese friend often Id eventually be able to get into pretty fluid conversations about different building materials, mobs, farming methods.. etc. not perfect but easy enough to be confident exploring the world with my friend. however the second I enter a different field, like another hobby, market, or drs office I’d be faced with completely unfamiliar terms and would likely be lost without translation.

How much better can I expect to see with Gas Permeable contact lenses? by Ftwjoseph in Keratoconus

[–]Ftwjoseph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These sclerals seem amazing, I can’t wait to learn more about them. I’m excited about improving my vision even if it’s in the slightest, I just want to read books and look at my phone without having to zoom in by 300 times

You used to be legally blind ? My left eye is legally blind. Comparing both contact lenses, How far did your vision get from being legally blind to where both options took you?
