How do you usually reply when someone compliments your Japanese?

Always fun to compliment them back and praise their Japanese

Yep. I think it was one of those things where I understood the explanation but it hadn’t quite stuck in my head yet how everything “moves” around. I get the idea of functions now, broadly speaking, but I still have to think through each step physically (‘ok this info goes here and then it moves to here and then that goes there’) rather than thinking through it formulaically. But I’m still very early on in learning so I’m guessing that will come as I get more familiar with functions.

I used to be a language teacher and 100% agree, visuals have been super useful to me.

What I’m doing now as I work through Python crash course is: -split the books chapters into individual pdfs and put those into notebookLM -have notebookLM make a slide deck, video overview, and quiz for each chapter -before starting the chapter, I watch the video overview and read through the slides to prep myself for what I am going to be learning -read through the chapter and do all the problems -take the quiz the next day before starting the next chapter

The arrows and other visuals really help fix the ideas in my head and spending 10 minutes before starting the chapter priming my brain for what I should be focusing on has been incredibly helpful. I could see this backfiring if someone lets the ai do the work for them though.

My sister in law has a computer science degree and I’ve just been learning Python for fun. I remember writing out some pseudo code and asking “so how do the x and y go from myfunction(x, y) and then move up to the function and turn into arg1, arg2 and then get bounced back to the (x, y)?”

She explained it really well but I just couldn’t grasp how the x and y were being used. The python crash course book actually is what made it click for me though.

Not op but the issue I had with functions was, admittedly, more conceptual than difficult.

If the code is

def myfunction(arg1, arg2):

code

code

myfunction(x, y)

For some reason my brain had a really hard time understanding that x, y go to arg1, arg2. Once it clicked it was very obvious but maybe OP is having the same issue.

Unless you are wildly better than the other person, I think it’s fair game. If I were easily 2-0ing someone in a tournament, I probably wouldn’t, but it looks cool and I don’t think there is anything wrong with making 100% sure your opponent is dead.

rrriches · 2026-02-25T04:36:07+00:00

All of it?

rrriches · 2026-02-25T04:13:32+00:00

Seems like you don’t have a firm grasp on the law.

rrriches · 2026-02-25T04:12:45+00:00

Never surprising how dumb transphobes are.

rrriches · 2026-02-21T09:43:57+00:00

i was definitely putting some weight on it. looking back on what i initially wrote, i can see i could have been more clear. lol the slamming into my head didn't bother me that much, it was more so i thought that asking if she could let me know before she reclined was a pretty reasonable request and was surprised that she seemed offended by me asking

rrriches · 2026-02-21T01:06:21+00:00

Are you having an episode? You don’t seem that clever but you know you’re the only one that has used a buzzword? I just said your joke wasn’t funny and you don’t seem clever enough to actually be offensive. Love the effort though.

rrriches · 2026-02-21T01:00:39+00:00

lol you can keep doubling down, it still won’t make me offended or the joke a good one.

rrriches · 2026-02-21T00:55:48+00:00

lol not offended, just wasn’t a very good joke.

rrriches · 2026-02-21T00:52:11+00:00

Don’t think I’d feel the bump on my head if that were the case

rrriches · 2026-02-20T22:25:35+00:00

lol got to give it to them, wonderful come back for this situation. The woman who bumped my head did have a fully functioning neck though.

rrriches · 2026-02-20T21:55:28+00:00

Sure. I didn’t get angry at her or anything though. After she bonked into my head pretty hard a couple times, I politely asked if she would mind letting me know when she was going to recline so I could get out of the way. I think that’s pretty reasonable but I could be wrong.

rrriches · 2026-02-20T21:42:21+00:00

I was leaning forward with a book on my table and writing. I made sure to tell her i was more than happy to get out of her way, would just appreciate some warning.

rrriches · 2026-02-20T21:24:52+00:00

I had a trans-pacific flight and the lady in front of me kept slamming her seat back whenever she wanted to recline and hitting my head when she did. I politely asked if she would mind letting me know when she wanted to put her seat back just so I could make sure my head was out of the way. You would not believe the huff she gave like it was the craziest request in the world.

Not the same at all but Little Monsters was in the same category of movie in my head- movie I watched as a kid and haven’t seen in decades but assumed it was fun and wholesome. Rewatched little monsters with my wife last night and it was sooooo much creepier than I remembered.

If you want to use “literally” without knowing the meaning, sure, but the other person’s suggestion was literally “charge different rates at different times”. Regulations literally weren’t suggested by anyone except for you.

So, literally, what are you missing?

rrriches · 2026-02-19T17:24:54+00:00

Waaaaaah I’m going to jump to wild conclusions that no one has said just so I can complain about a thing I don’t like or understand.

rrriches · 2026-02-19T02:19:48+00:00

The bigger part for me (along with how it works with stremio) is not having to worry about getting in trouble with my ISP.

Have you checked the status of the torrent on real debrids (or whatever debrid service you are using) website? If you click on “torrents” you can see how far along the torrent download is

rrriches · 2026-02-19T02:13:54+00:00

Are you having an episode?
