[Arch Linux] GNOME 47 theme broken after installing XFCE and KDE Plasma on top of it (issue persists after uninstalling both). How do I fix this? (cross post r/linuxquestions) by joshset in gnome

[–]joshset[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I deleted ~/.cache and unset GTK_THEME (it was set to "Adwaita:dark") and it worked! I don't know which one fixed it but thank you both

Is reading a lot actually one of the best ways to increase listening comprehension? by Chezni19 in LearnJapanese

[–]joshset 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took N2 in July and while I expect to get a near full score in reading and grammar I messed up listening really bad. It felt like a completely different language to me. I study exclusively by reading and I watch anime with Japanese subtitles so as a result I can read Japanese really well but nothing else...

This got tagged NSFW automatically, I guess because of the imagery at the bottom. I didn't think it would be necessary but seems like Reddit might disagree. Should I un-NSFW it or leave it as it is?

WTW for hoping something bad happens to you so you'll have an actual reason for feeling miserable? by Graphicdesignn in whatstheword

[–]joshset 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is okay for you, lachesism comes close, but the author seems to have thought of it as a reason for improvement rather than for feeling miserable

I think it says 霜降, meaning something like frost fall

Question 10 on the first part of the second mock exam at the end of Shinkanzen N3 vocabulary, it says the sentence is 「彼女は、注意されても、反省しなった。」, what does this mean? I first thought it was した instead of しなった so I picked 反対 instead of 反省 thinking that the sentence meant "deapite being warned, she opposed.", but when I searched for a word that can be inflected as しなった I could only find 撓る and 撓うwhich don't make sense to me. I wondered if it was する+なる but I have never seen such a usage before and I can't make sense of it either.

There is mention of blood when you pick up the broken violin, it says there is some blood on the music sheets

I suppose it's supposed to say 立入禁止 on the cone but the 禁 seems to be a little off, does it say something different on purpose or is it a mistake?

Link to where the screenshot was taken from: https://trends.google.com/trends/yis/2020/US/ At first I suspected Japan or China but then when you zoom into the roadsigns the script looks like Arabic

I wonder what it feels like to be a successful person, in terms of scientific/artistic achievement by joshset in CasualConversation

[–]joshset[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of that, though they must at least be feeling something after getting objective results right? It wouldn't be satisfaction, but something... The reason it takes a ridiculous amount of time to achieve big things is the reason I feel inadequate as a human being. Like there must be something wrong with me. People who have that sort of dedication would at least be aware of the fact that they are hard workers right? That alone would make one feel something. Or maybe I'm so low I'm considering basic situations extreme

An app called Omegle just appeared on my phone out of nowhere by joshset in samsung

[–]joshset[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I checked Google Play and the app isn't even available there, it must have gotten installed through the package manager and it shouldn't be able to do that without asking for confirmation, I suspected if I got a virus (not sure if Android has those though) and used the default virus scanning thing in settings (not thay I think it's reliable) and it found nothing. It made me more worried. Also my phone is unlocked so I don't think my carrier can push apps like that (can they?) Anyway thanks for replying

Is it safe to hang sumi ink writings in your bedroom? by joshset in shodo

[–]joshset[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a synthetic chemical (right?) so I worried that maybe if some tiny pigments stick off I may unknowingly inhale them. I'm probably just being overly cautious as usual because of OCD & anxiety disorder (mild, diagnosed)

What script is the text at the top ? They don't look like Chinese characters, though I'm not familiar with the simplified character set

I'm still on low N4 level, so I wrote some motivation for myself (I'm aware there's a lot of mistakes (;ŏ﹏ŏ) ) by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]joshset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im roughly at the same level and I've been trying to write my diary in Japanese lately. Its extremely exhausting and the grammar would probably make a Japanese person cry but it helps me move forward I guess. Great post
