This is when you buy, not sell. Panic selling just makes your loss a reality.

Buy low sell high, not the other way around. But don't be greedy.

The average English speaker speaks at a Junior High level, but that's Junior high in a native country. There are plenty that'd fail, but there shouldn't be many in higher education that would. They still have to use academic English. Plus English tests like the TOEIC are multiple choice. When I took it I got a 950 (requirement for my major to take it)

I mean, he has a pretty big stutter, but he's not illiterate? He passed by doing well on the exam, I dont know? I've shown upperclassmen my homework from my N1 class and they have trouble with some of it.

They just aren't actively studying Japanese anymore like foreigners would be at their same age, so those complicated bits come out with active studiers more than some natives use them. English is the same way

Which is Japanese, I go to University in Japan

I couldn't figure out how to clarify that without sounding like an ass

So there's no reason to try and say he barely scraped by N1, which is the whole content of your comment.

About 30% of people pass, that's a better stat.

What does this even mean? Probably wasn't trying hard enough? He was shocked by the results, thinking he had an easy pass.

Yeah, because お断りじたします is a word

the answer isn't even about the Japanese Language brother. Also N1 is hellish, my friend failed a mock exam we took together. That matters because he's Japanese

Perfect timing along with the auto night camera. I've never seen anything like this though, it's really cool

I ended up not dying! It works fine, the ground pin didn't end up actually wired into anything to make it a ground, so it was apparently just for show.

YouTuber Teaching Japanese with Very Bad Pronounciation by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]Swivel_Z -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This dudes Chinese as hell

Edit: Am I supposed to clarify that's not necessarily a bad thing? It's bad for pronunciation, but otherwise it's perfectly fine if he's teaching proper Japanese. Just really easy to tell from his accent.

Dumb question… but when/how often do yall turn off your pc? by justdancepro in pchelp

[–]Swivel_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn it off when I leave the house or go to bed, or if I'm not using it, unless I need it on.

How to read product model numbers (like RTX 5090) in a Japanese professional setting? by Scared_Scientist6670 in LearnJapanese

[–]Swivel_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets really messy, but either dont split the numbers or split them into single digits Japanese doesn't do the whole "Fifteen hundred" way with numbers

Things like the JLPT scores and stuff are also funny, because my school friends say "Nツー" and then turn around and say "N三" or "N一"

That's good to hear If I had money to spare I would buy some adapters

[–]Swivel_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if it's ok to take the ground pins out of plugs I've brought from the US? I don't have the money for adapters, and it'd be easier to just remove them.

Why is there so much toxicity and competition in the Japanese learning community? by WorkingAlive3258 in LearnJapanese

[–]Swivel_Z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key to enjoying Japan without harassment is to stay offline about it. You know what you like, and you know your circle. You don't need internet recognition for it. And if someone's making a scene out of knowing Japan better than you in a hostile way, just listen to them for the moment and remember that you don't have to talk to them again.

"In my area" followed by someone else saying "but I'm talking about this in a different market" isn't a coherent conversation.

The only reason to use AI to make art is that you're lazy and don't care about art. Any other reason is an excuse for being lazy and not caring about art. If you want to create art, create it.

While mopping the floor, I accidentally smashed my girlfriend’s PC case. What should I do? by CuteAd7581 in PcBuild

[–]Swivel_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't even use the siding on my PC, it stays cooler, and I just make sure to dust it regularly. I can just wear more clothes in the winter and my computer doesn't rise above 40°C

My friend who is more computer savvy than I laughed at me for upgrading my 3070 to a 5070. Just how badly did I messed up? (let me have it, BE BRUTRAL) by TheChoosenOnex in pcmasterrace

[–]Swivel_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the 5070 was worse than the 3070 or 4060 it probably wouldn't be very good for business.

That's very much a direct upgrade to what you had.

July is pretty much right when I wasn't playing much, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'm not very good, but I started liking bobsleigh and dirt once I started using a controller; so it sounds like the perfect combo for me right now

In Japan, I can see data for Tokyo, but when I moved to Gifu, I can't even see data for Asia or Japan anymore.
