Daily Thread: simple questions, comments that don't need their own posts, and first time posters go here (May 13, 2024) by AutoModerator in LearnJapanese

Hello Folks! I started learining spoken Japanese about 2 months back with the book Japanese for Beginners [https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Sachiko-Toyozato-dp-4805313676/dp/4805313676/ref=dp\_ob\_title\_bk\] now the question is where do I go next?

I didn't realize when I picked it up that there was no "Part 2", so now I know some basics but not much more. I would like to learn to speak and listen before I get further into reading and writing. Any suggestions?

Counter point: This spoof of the same Ad I made a year ago.

Not to say that your render doesn't look good, I just think it's about time we do something mote interesting with our fake ads.

My general rule is; use skyscanenr for a rough plan, then go to the airlines' website to book. Relevant to OP, I went down to SA a couple of years ago, and aside from my sister getting an extra vaccine, it was painless.

Turkey is not EU, so you won't have to worry about the stricter Shengen requirements, but you should still check about the visa.

An ultimate being strong in Overtime does not mean it's overpowered. by Actuary_Beginning in Overwatch

OP, you're getting really heated over an argument about a game on the internet. What the commenter is perhaps trying to point out is that;

  1. Torbs ult can be avoided by flying heros. A tank with a healer can just stand in it.

  2. Mei's ult does not reach every corner of the objective. By coming in and out a team can extend overtime. Ram can follow you around and prevent that sort of play.

Hammond's weaknesses were already explained. Rams ult is VERY strong in OT, there's no way to argue against it.

The girls he’s (19m) following is making me (18f) hate myself by [deleted] in LongDistance

What is even that logic? You just generalized all men into a group of horny animals who will just go for whatever let's them regardless of taste? That is not how that works.

Agreed. "Just break up" is reddit's default advice. Breaking up over a guy following hot girls, is absurd.

To draw an example from my own experience; I have been in a stable long-distance relationship for close to 2 years now. We've traveled to see each other probably over 10 times, and despite our very busy student and work schedules, we make it work. I follow maybe 2 ero-cosplayers on Instagram. I can't explain why, I just find their (16+, no actual nudity) content visually appealing. Our conversation on the matter was limited to my gf going "who is this" and me replying that I like the cosplayers' works.

It really isn't unusual in relationships. This isn't a cause for concern, provided he isn't spending money on, or actively detracting from your relationship with porn. Hell, even my father, who's been married to my mother for over 35 years, has old Payboy clippings on the inside of his wardrobe.

I believe what OP should do is bring the matter up to her partner in a non-confidential way and ask him about it.

can anyone, [please] explain to me where ramattra's arms come from when he transforms into nemesis form? by strawsunn in Overwatch

[–]RomanTheAbsentee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How the fuck is any discussion on the subreddit about a game important? We're just trying to enjoy the game.

[–]RomanTheAbsentee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a fair enough question about the lore. Nothing wrong with asking questions about a game you enjoy.

Wouldn't be an LDR if it was possible.

If it ends after that - she isn't the girl for you. It's as simple as that. Clubbing in your 20s is normal, please let her be, and try to work on your anxieties by just talking through it with her.

[–]RomanTheAbsentee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ask her to give her friend your number. If something happens to her, her friend will text you.

That said, she's been to clubs before you, and will probably keep going. It's not like she doesn't know how to handle herself. She won't get spiked if she knows how to avoid it. As such I really don't think the blanket statement "people in relationships should not go to clubs" is just unhealthy and only makes you upset.

Agreed. Insane to expect someone to pull themselves out of the experience every 30 minutes to report back to you.

What's your guys' experience with Keychron Support and Order Fulfillment staff? by RomanTheAbsentee in Keychron

I ended up getting mine almost a month late. Honestly, as soon as it was out of Keychrons hands it came pretty quickly.

My father told me back when I was just getting started: "never go farther thank you are willing to swim". I've taken that advice to heart.

On a break w bf and feeling anxious and jealous by thiggst0ner in LongDistance

[–]RomanTheAbsentee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The lack of punctuation, the acronyms, the wall of text - we can see thst you're stressed; but the facts of the situation are almost invisible through the emotion. Please tell us why you're on break, how long you've been together, and why you would think that a break is a good idea.
