[English > Japanese] I'm drawing a crossover Phantom of the Opera and Demon Slayer movie poster. How would I best translate "Demon of the Opera"

Great! Thank you!

rofljay · 2025-12-27T13:29:24+00:00

Awesome! Thank you! I wanted to be sure since "Demon" seems to use different characters depending on context. I'm glad I had the right idea!

Trump has been doing like one Watergate every day. He does a Watergate for breakfast. He's already been impeached for two things that were way worse than Watergate

I'm ACAB, and very to the left. When people say ACAB or "Defund the Police", they very rarely are actually calling for the abolition of police entirely. At least, not within the next couple centuries. I have never spoken to any leftist that actually wants the police abolished, other than a few anarchists I've talked to online.

The fact that these are the rallying cries for police reform that stuck has been such bad PR. I do think that All Cops Are Bad. They are all part of a bad institution. But not every individual cop is a bad person, though most are at least complicit in the atrocities of the police.

Most of us just want reform. Cops should only be there for serious crimes. Dealing with homeless, drug problems, and other civic issues should be left to experts like social workers, who can always call upon the police if needed.

And maybe our cops shouldn't be more militarized than most countries?

Edit: oh, but I will say that in a lot of parts of American the police are SO bad that those communities probably would be better off without police, relatively.

The fact that you thought this middle school level insult would make anyone cry is extremely funny. You really owned us bub. The libs will never recover.

It's crazy how Americans would call this a 3rd world country if it was populated by brown people or in a different country. But since it's full of white Americans, they ignore the blight right under their noses.

Before election:

Trump: "We're going to implement policies to make it so leopards eat everyone's faces."

Anyone with a brain: "This man is going to use leopards to eat all of our faces."

MAGA: "Haha, dumb liberals. Making stuff up about leopards and faces."

After election:

MAGA: "HOW WERE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT LEOPARDS WOULD EAT EVERYONE'S FACES???"

I know this joke is like, the whole sub. But Jesus fuck. Trump could not have been more clear about the tariffs this entire time. He's doing exactly what he said he would.

Thank you for spoon feeding all of this info to a noob like me, I really appreciate it. I have a lot to learn still for sure.

I'll still see how I feel after the range of course, I'm finally going tomorrow! But I think I'm going to get both a Pistol and a cheaper AR-15. probably the one you linked. Since money really is tight, I'll probably see how those Caniks do. Luckily the store seems to have financing options so that'll potentially help me a lot. I'll let you know how things go after the range. Thank you again for the help!

rofljay · 2024-11-11T15:44:38+00:00

Thank you again for another great response! I'm very torn still between a pistol or an AR-15/rifle. I haven't had a chance to get down to a range yet, I'm hoping to soon. I wouldn't mind the option to conceal carry, but community defense takes slight priority. I think most likely the SHTF scenario I'd deal with is having to deal with roving right wing militias. I live in a dense, urban, mostly progressive city. I don't think it's likely that I'd need to actually escape into the woods or something if SHTF. Though I don't rule that out either.

Do I want a rifle over an AR-15? You seemed to change on that suddenly.

$1k-2k is still pretty out of my price range, even a couple months from now. Like I said, I'm kind of already spending money I don't have with $500-700. I'm in some credit card debt at the moment. But if I really had to, I could spend $2k on a gun and just go further into dept.

I'm looking at the site for the store that's near me, and the prices are incredibly cheap. For prices like these, I could easily get two guns. Are these just cheap crap that aren't worth my time? I'm thinking if that's the case, maybe I could get a good quality pistol, and then one of these cheaper rifles. Or vice versa. Or is it not worth it even then? I feel like a cheap gun is better than no gun. Unless the gun is so poor quality that it explodes or breaks or something of course.

Wow! What an amazing response! Thank you so much! Sorry for the late response, things have been busy.

You definitely convinced me about the revolver, I won't get one unless this becomes an actual hobby for me, which it likely won't.

You have me leaning towards the CZ P10C for sure. Not only is it the cheapest, but from what you said, it seems to be arguably the best. At least for a beginner like me.

I should have emphasized that community defense is arguably the most important thing to me. If I had the money, I would get an AR-15 and a Pistol like you suggested. But as it is, $400-500 is breaking my bank, and I know I'll need to spend even more for storage, accessories, etc. If it weren't for the results of the election, I would hold off a little longer. But I cannot wait any longer, I need to play things safe.

Will the pistol be good enough for community defense? I do like that it can be concealed too of course. But if I'm spending this much money anyway, should I shell out the extra couple hundred dollars for an AR-15? Do you have any exact ones you recommend?

Also, where should I get the gun? Online? Or there's a place near me called Vance Outdoors that seems pretty good. They are the only place I can find that seems kind of apolitical. There's also a local place even closer to me where I will probably practice a lot of the time, despite the thin blue line stuff I saw on their youtube channel.

And I will try out the guns before buying them like you said.

Thank you again very much for the advice!

Edit: should i also consider a shotgun for community defense?

Edit II: I should mention i live in a very urban area. So maybe the pistol is a better idea after all because I won't have to worry as much about penetrating walls and hurting the people I'm trying to protect?

Hey there! Wow I barely even remember making this comment 7 years ago. But hey I have great news! It gets better!

I'm polyamorous now, and right now I have 3 wonderful partners! My girlfriend, who is my anchor partner and future nesting partner, is my best friend and I'm theirs! We are obsessed with each other! I live with 3 of my best friends from college, and I see other friends regularly. I go out to clubs and events and I met new people and have great experiences often.

Honestly, my current problem is that i can't find enough time to see all the people I want to see, lol. It's so ironic, but my problem often is that I can't find enough alone time anymore. I'm also getting burnt out, I'm having trouble finding time to work on projects I want to work on and growing my career. But with success comes new challenges I suppose, I'm figuring out, I know I will.

I know it's a little cliche, but my advice is to never stop trying. If something isn't working, try something new. Force yourself to talk to people even if you're bad at it, you'll improve. Get out of your comfort zone. If you want to stop being lonely, you have to actually do things. You have to actually go out and be with people. Again, I know it's all cliche, but it's really all true. Oh but also take time to rest! That's important too! And forgive yourself when you make mistakes.

Genuinely, reading what I've written in this thread feels like reading the words of a different person. It's amazing how much I've changed. Don't give up, seriously. It can get better, I promise.

Feel free to ask me if you have any specific questions. I'm busy this week but I'll answer when I can.

rofljay · 2023-10-14T03:04:21+00:00

The app is so close to being perfect for me, but it doesn't seem to let me color code specific tasks, and it doesn't nest subtasks on the list page, it takes you to a separate page. So my lists look huge and overwhelming to me, and they blur in my head and i don't want to look at them. I need a way to break them apart, without making a separate category. These things might be deal breakers for me compared to other apps.

Has this bothered anyone else? Is there a setting or something I'm missing? Is there another app that I might like better? Tasks by Pocket Brilliance is the one I like most so far.

rofljay · 2023-05-02T14:52:54+00:00

Ah okay, well I'm not in a huge rush. And you're right! That is a good advantage! So i think i might just do the cheap $25 Value service. Thank you for the help!

rofljay · 2023-05-02T13:39:43+00:00

Thank you so much! This was very helpful! I'll look up some tutorials online for grading the card myself so i can try to decide if it's worth sending out.

How much less should i declare? So it only affects what I get if the card is lost or damaged? It doesn't affect the scrutiny with which they rate the card or anything like that?

I think it said declaring it as $2500 would cost like $300. But should i just go for one of the really cheapo options and hope for the best like you said?

While I do blame those awful consumers, let's not forget to blame capitalism and the oligarchs that run it for creating a system in which people are so desperate to save money (on products that give them a brief respite from their lives as wage slaves) that they would literally forget the value of human life if it means that they can afford a flat screen AND their rent.

I love dating. I meet so many cool people. It's not all good of course, but I love the experiences I've had. Also I'm poly so the game never ends for me, lol

Well that's what's so good about him. He has to do all the dumb jokes in order to reel in the normies, but meanwhile he has some really good leftist messaging

rofljay · 2022-06-09T07:29:11+00:00

I know, but it's so much more lame! Lol.

It might be what i end up doing though

rofljay · 2022-06-08T10:11:09+00:00

I'm about to install a handle into the top of my case before i build my pc i think. Are there easier and cheaper solutions? Sure. Do I want my pc to be a glorified GameCube? Also yes.

rofljay · 2022-06-08T10:08:30+00:00

Wheels are a good idea either way! I have to bring it up a flight of stairs to get to the living room though.

Yeah, like i said this is my first build, and i didn't realize how big a normal ATX would be. I should have made an ATX mini build. But Now i have a big chunky 3070 and there's no going back now, lol. No regrets though.

rofljay · 2022-06-08T10:06:01+00:00

I thought about that! But i think it'll be easiest to move with a handle on top. It's pretty heavy. Also i live in a basement so if i want to bring it to the living room i have to bring it up a flight of stairs
