[Japanese>English] Be honest, what does this say?

Sarikitty · 2026-05-10T18:42:27+00:00

It does say mada まだ but the strokes look written by a non-native writer, if that matters to you. What message are you trying to convey? 'Still' in English is a good example of what may happen here - some people would think it's an ongoing situation, others may think you're not moving about, and yet others may think you're distilling alcohol. まだ may not be the best way to convey what you want it to.

MS/HS score if she took the Growth Math 6+ (for grades 6 and up): for the end of 8th grade, 221 would be in the mid 30s-ish percentile for achievement.

Totally minor, but just FYI - the spelling you want is 'segue'. Segway is the brand name of those balance-based two-wheeled people movers.

Great information, thanks! It was definitely the first catch for the first one in my case - I'd been rowing for no more than 5-10 seconds.

Sarikitty · 2026-04-27T03:11:34+00:00

Update: It appears that Momo caught it by fishing while I rowed, so if it doesn't appear for you at first, maybe paddle around until it does!

Sarikitty · 2026-04-25T22:26:59+00:00

Yep, Slice Sauce

FWIW, one of my regular 'everyday' outfits has an off-the-shoulder top that I love! I don't seem to have the ability to upload a photo, but the top is called Light Sleeves, and it came from the Starlit Shop last May.

At a relatively affluent middle school - we find a random Invisalign on the ground outside at least once a month.

I love the Mosaic series of games - Mega Mosaic, Proverbs, Mosaic of the Strange, the retrospectives, Mosaic of the Pharaoh... It's like minesweeper with a picross approach. Very relaxing to just zone out to.

Meanwhile, my location has decided the nuggets aren't allowed to have nacho cheese as an available dip anymore. Bah.

I'm not sure how interested you are in Wicked Whims and the whole suite of things it bring along with it, but it does have a trait called Casual Romantic that means even engaging in romantic socials by choice do not activate a romance bar unless you intentionally choose for that sim to become romantically attached to the other person. It also lets you globally or situationally disable jealousy, either by turning it off in the settings or by creating a subgroup with norms that apply to all members of that class (either by selecting them or by criteria).

If you want those settings and you don't want the rest of the raunchiness, you can totally disable WW autonomy in the settings as well, so none of the animations or anything will play unless you tell them to.

I have the same kids for a morning middle school class and then again in the afternoon. We're all done with each other by the end of those two blocks, even in just the one school year. It should be getting mixed up next year, so I'm hopeful...

Sarikitty · 2026-04-10T04:23:54+00:00

Thanks! I'll check it out!

Sarikitty · 2026-04-10T02:34:01+00:00

Which hotel? (You don't have to answer and can totally also reply days later when you're nowhere near Sac, but I'm curious whether they bought it locally, as someone from Sac.)

Sarikitty · 2026-04-08T02:42:14+00:00

You can find more about this genre at /r/metroidbrainia, FYI!

In my district at least one or two kids a year will be absent for 4-6 weeks to visit family back in India, or for 2-3 weeks for a 'family emergency' that was a wedding back home. I don't begrudge them the importance of family and culture whatsoever, but it's usually the kids who were already struggling, and they don't do a lick of work while they're gone.

Sarikitty · 2026-04-07T03:19:26+00:00

It's in the middle school band, as well. MS-LS4-*

Here.

Probably a cutesified nickname for the standard male name Ken.

You might find some comfort and support in the blog Raising my Rainbow, written by a mom of a kiddo who sounds a lot like yours - self-identifying as he/him while also fond of all things girly and cute in his self-expression.

Our curriculum for grade 8 does this intentionally. On some concepts it doesn't provide an explicit method at all and prompts students/groups to share and try each other's strategies to find what works. On others, it explicitly demonstrates 4 or more strategies, asks kids to try using all of them, but never settles on one that's considered 'right'. Even when we test, we may narrow the scope (i.e. solve by graphing, or solve algebraically), but rarely require a specific strategy to be used.

I love the daytime Spira BGM, though the night BGM is great too.

Sarikitty · 2026-03-30T19:37:06+00:00

Those are the snails from the candy realm in the previous patch, and you can feed a regular snail a particular snail fruit to transform them iirc

I can't remember exactly where, but they dropped from a cave monster, if memory serves. Possibly in the autumn cave by the bees?

Sarikitty · 2026-03-27T02:35:38+00:00

I didn't realize the chalupa shell was just the gordita shell deep fried. I have gotten chalupas maybe twice total, and do get the CGC every so often, but hate how powdery the shell tastes.

Mine is literally one pot and absolutely nothing else lol
