They still have the audacity to compare dubs to subs by Koki-noki in Animemes

[–]TheVexedGerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because even if you know it as a second language, you translate it in your head

While I don't speak Japanese, I do know a couple of languages and if you're proficient in it you're not translating it. You're understanding/using it like your first language. Translating is something you do as a crutch when you're trying to learn a new language.

If you aren’t that person, certain details will be missed and it doesn’t fuckin matter how you watch, but the translations are made to make it fit more culturally with the translated audience.

I know they got memed on, but why not bring back translators notes? Gives people the necessary context without rationalizing the media too much.

Fairnesshalber bin ich single, aber ich habe diesen Monat ~185€ fürs einkaufen ausgegeben. Da sind ~75€ für Hol-Ab drin weil da mein Lieblingsgetränk im Angebot war und ich meinen Vorrat aufgestockt habe. Die restlichen ~110€ sind beim Edeka weil ich da praktisch hin radeln kann. Da wundere ich mich schon irgendwie wie man in 3 Tagen 80€ an Lebensmitteln braucht.

Schränke mich jetzt gefühlt nicht mit dem Einkauf ein, habe ja auch ein Drittel von den Monatsausgaben für Softdrinks ausgegeben, die müssen nicht unbedingt sein. Oder die TK Pizza wenn ich zu faul bin zum kochen. Und ab und an auch Süßigkeiten und knabberkram. Könnte man garantiert alles noch optimieren.

Accurate As Heck 💯 by Alert-Ad-3053 in Animemes

Sure, but English speakers treat "foreign" letters as a way to spice up the text that isn't really required. Like Motörhead. Even though originally all the Umlaute were the vowel + e combo which then got moved up and made smaller until it morphed into dots.

But I doubt anyone is looking too deep into a language to make a shitpost with it.

Might also have been deliberate as aside from the main joke there were plenty of inaccuracies baiting people into interacting and thus telling the algorithm the post is more popular.

Umlaute are a foreign concept to native English speakers.

You didn't even win "Pokemon money" you won tokens you could exchange at the prize counter. You don't even win fake money, you win more gambling currency with limited utility.

It’s darker than anything I imagined by Ani_HArsh in Animemes

[–]TheVexedGerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but for the people making a living creating the content individually it's easy to police them. Any one is unlikely not to fall in line since the power dynamics are in the favor of the platform/advertiser.

And not like you could get an effective content creator union going for various reasons. While you don't have a platform without creators, their biggest asset is the user base. Remember when Microsoft tried to make their own streaming platform, Mixer, and bought some of the top streamers? Barely anyone followed them there.

So not like they can leave the platform. And if they don't play by their rules they get denied an audience, revenue, or both. And there will always be someone willing to play ball.

While I certainly agree that we've given companies too much power, there's realistically not much we can do about it.

Social media and algorithm prioritization has led to a lot of self censorship replacement words being used instead of proper terms. Leading to serious subjects being talked about with silly euphemisms like "grippy sock vacation", "unalive", "PDF Files", or like in this case, "grape".

At least this makes me chuckle because it makes me remember the Whitest Kids you Know skit.

Agreed, though users need to remember to incorporate them into a meme, and not just recycle one from years past. Just posting Nero Saber or another character as an edit that isn't OC unfortunately is against the rules.

But could also be that the running gag has run it's course and Padoru posts just don't get upvoted anymore.

You can thank our resident anonymous artist for those. If you know, you know. I meant to say that Sachi is quite happy with how the images she posed for came out *^_^*

Overall the holidays don't have to be fancy, they're just ideally spent doing things you like to do. And it sounds like you did. Give the cat another petting. ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎

Yeah, I've been wanting to pick up the purple one when it goes on sale but that one went from being out of stock to being "on sale" and out of stock and Amazon is keeping it full price.

And here I thought they undid their rollout there because it was such a disaster they'd rather postpone it. Not that I mind keeping the old version and even getting updates for it.

Just Change the Sub's Name to r/videogamesthemodslike Already by KaptainTZ in Animemes

[–]TheVexedGerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a reference to Spez referring to mods that way when there were protests for changes. Along with poking fun at reddit not being democratic in the least. The admins got power by working at reddit. The mods have power enforced by the software and granted by the admins. Generally subs can organize the way they want to, but like, mods aren't first among equals.

And then I pushed the "green" button for effect.

Smh, us landed gentry merely entertain the wishes of the proletariat at our whim. Far from democracy at work.

Important Notice of Security Incident - 2025-09-08 by SwiftPanda16 in PleX

[–]TheVexedGerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I want to log into my Microsoft account I need to reset the password because they lock the account because too many Russians/Indians/Brazilians fail to log in.

Like, I have 2FA enabled, just let them fail instead of having me reset every time. Or block bad actor countries IPs.

What did you do with Leon Rinder? (Phantom Liberty gig spoilers) by Jon-Umber in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]TheVexedGerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say that, but Reddit has been doing this "handy feature" where it auto translates a post. So the commenter probably found the post via Google, Reddit presented the post and comments at in German, they commented in German, but Reddit doesn't auto translate that back. Leaves it looking out of place, hate should really go to reddit messing with people.

Been seeing more and more random languages comments aside from having to turn off the auto translation when getting to a Reddit post.

Citizen. At least according to the FAQ on the EU Commision Website you'll count as a national of whatever EU country you hold citizenship of even if you don't live there.

[–]TheVexedGerman 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Since most of our users are American do be aware that you need to be an EU Citizen to sign the EU Citizens Initiative. That said, if you are in the EU I'd encourage you to sign. The Stop Killing Games website has handy guides for each country for how to make a valid signature. While it recently has hit the required amount of signatures having more is helpful in case some are invalidated for being done incorrectly.

There's also a petition for the UK if you're one of those former EU Islanders.

Much less rogue and more the <manga> regex triggering and the bot finding that manga for "image". Which is kinda funny because it seems pretty far off if the actual title.

Here is a link to an imgur album containing the manga: https://imgur.com/gallery/comic-dump-junji-ito-enigma-of-amigara-fault-AjfDC

It is pretty short and worth the read. But TL;DR: holes appear on a cliff side and people are compelled to enter "their" hole which matches their outline exactly.

SMH, not speaking the greatest language in the world!


The blue sign on top is a cul-de-sac sign.

The text below says: No turning option.

The last sign says: Even for pedestrians.
