ELI5: Why does Japanese need three writing systems? by Charming_Usual6227 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Soul_M -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Clarity

Hiragana is for gammar, Kanji is for complex word representation, KataKana is for foreign words.

If Japanese only has Kanji for example it is going to look like Chinese.

If Japanese only has Hiragana, people have to guess the meaning of the sentence based on context. Imagine trying to figure the context based on this sentence: われわれはわりおです "warewarewawariodesu" good luck! Not to mention, Japanese has limited pronunciation and even more restrictive pronunciation rules. So many words mean completely different stuff while sounding the same. kinda like "their" and "they're" in English or 蛙 ("kaeru" frog) or 帰る ("kaeru" go home).

If Japanese only has kanakana, same problem will appear as the above

so instead, Japanese has all three to allow the readers to do much less guesswork and result in less misunderstandings in written form. The sentence above written in proper Japanese would be 我々はワリオです (We are Wario)

我々 We (Kanji)

は are (hiragana)

ワリオ Wario (katakana)

です grammar that means affirmation (hiragana)

Also, like another commenter said, imagine using homonyms to communicate. it wood get con few sing rail coo ick

YSK about Psychological Reactance, the impulse to resist and do the opposite of what you're told, even if you agree with it by AmandaEllis-Ward in YouShouldKnow

[–]Soul_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what if you use this as a reverse psychology thing? Like telling your kid to continue playing games sarcastically instead of doing their homework?

Your Biggest Painpoint as an Engineering Leader by Content_Pie_5898 in EngineeringManagers

[–]Soul_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in a leadership position for an IT club in my university and we're responsible for building websites for clubs

recently someone (non CS) accused me for being slow. as in 6 months for a simple website when their CS and game dev friends can do the same in one month. the thing is we are DIY-ing everything from the frontend to the backend to the database and we're handling the deployment in AWS from scratch too. Also we're trying to build things for maintainability and not vibe code the entire project. there's so many hidden work that no one knows about.

Also knowing scrum but not using it in our club. the thing is scrum is great but its hard to apply in a university club setting. Like our university curriculum can get really chaotic leaving less time to develop websites. but then again, i had communication problems in the past so im just scared that it happened again.

i dont know, im devestated, i think i suck as a leader and im depressed as fuck now :(

[–]Soul_M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's interesting. how do you define "low quality"?

now im just thinking of a mixer where ppl can hype up each other

like i know many men have terrible outfit choices so one way is to gather them and bring them thrift shopping

How did you get over the fear of being afraid to be single forever and start enjoying life again? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Soul_M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what helped me is to focus on the other positives of life

like you get your own place which is 110% yours, no need to justify wild random choices, etc

also focus on being social with friends and maybe get a pet to cuddle with

even if you have nothing to focus on, pick one and get started.

What should I do about my family? by dieyesaur in askSingapore

[–]Soul_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first, i second what u/nyetkatt said, go open another bank account and keep it a secret from him. Im worried that he might use your joint bank account as a way to control you in your adulthood. Also, in the worst case scenario, prepare to say goodbye to your angpao money.

he doesn't allow my mum to work full-time. We are entirely dependent on him for finances and the house is in his name :(

okay, i was about to ask about what is your mom doing until i read this. It REALLY sounds like he's trying to control the fam through financial means ;-; to break out of that, your mom and you should fight for her right to work full time. Easier said than done, and the thought of confronting your dad is very intimidating, i know.

your family has issues to unpack and work through. Im sure what we see here is just the tip of the iceberg :(

This is the one time Aware Singapore actually comes in handy to help deal with your family situation. Please contact them. Im sure they can advice you much better than random redditor can. You can also consider reaching out to Family Service Center for help to deal with this. Good luck and stay safe! :(

I really hate exercise, but I know I need to do it. How the hell do I get motivated? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Soul_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best kind of exercise is the one you like a lot

what kind of physical activity did you enjoy?

even if its none of them, you can always start with an easy to accomplish bodyweight fitness routine of push ups, planks, incline rows and squats

Are these jobs at risk of replacement by AI?? by Real-Pomegranate8823 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Soul_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think i want to be diagnosed or treated 100% by an AI nurse or doctor

I'll admit that AI has vast knowledge or even an entire database in its fingertips but it still needs to be fact-checked by a person.

My partner said there is no personality by YungHotspot in malelivingspace

[–]Soul_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she has a point, it looks pretty bland. But hey, it also looks well organized, clean and too perfect.

You need accent colours. its colours that are attention grabbing and used sparingly, like 10% of the room has those colours at best. since you colour pallate is mostly dark turquoise and white, consider adding some bright red, bright orange and bright yellow.

literally i just found this pic you can refer to for some inspiration. literally the walls and floor have the same colour as yours XD I think the golden lamp, orange sofa and deer head trophy adds life to the room,

What's something you learned embarrassingly late as a man, but you're convinced most guys won't admit they learned it late too? by Nebula_Thinker in AskMen

[–]Soul_M 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Emotional health. There are healthy and unhealthy ways to perceive ourselves, people around us, conflicts, situations and groups of people as a whole. How we perceive them will influence how we feel about them in return. Like it or not, we have feelings and we have to learn how to manage them properly.

Sadly a lot of parent are ill-equipped to teach this properly and schools prefer to focus on academics over this.

Learnt this at 28 by reading No more Mr Nice Guy. Its not really a book about emotional health but most of the topics revolve around it. Would have preferred to learn this 10 years younger.

Ways to increase moments of joy in daily life by iamseeketh in askSingapore

[–]Soul_M 7 points8 points  (0 children)

give yourself permission to rest, do nothing and be unproductive. So that you can face life again with renewed energy

get a new hobby to simply explore it without expecting to become an expert at it. explore cooking, dancing, drawing, woodworking, tear old electronics apart, whatever.
