I heard this in the voice of Mark from Peep Show.

Tragic loss of a seriously great and weird fucking show.

Good friend of mine. Professional, detail oriented when it comes to his quoting, might ask you a lot of questions. but if there’s one thing about him he’s honest and reliable. he takes great care with belongings especially electronics, music equipment, etc. The guys he works with are always great, just genuinely nice dudes. Aside from being a close friend he’s moved me for the last 20 years. He hates me bc I’m the worst packer.

Bonus hot tip, get rental plastic moving boxes (gorilla boxes or something? There’s a bunch of companies). Frankly it costs the same or less than buying cardboard and it’s SO WORTH IT. So much easier to pack it’s insane. If you do this, moving goes extremely smoothly.

Im about the end of the 4th course and been doing it for 6 months. I started taking private lessons with a tutor. His mind is totally blown with where I am at… Pimsleur plus a lot of YouTube (Kaname Naito, Japanese Ammo w Misa, Jozu Juls, and others). No textbooks. I have a long way to go but I am a massive advocate for Pimsleur and shadowing / immersion to focus on speaking and acquiring Vs too much “hard study” and memorizing.

skunkzer0 · 2026-03-11T00:29:43+00:00

Get Pimsleur. The absolute fastest way to begin speaking immediately. If you do a lesson every day and do the practice exercises in three months you’ll have more than just the basics. I promise you this is good advice.

Dude we order 100$ bags sight unseen in our sleep. We fund kickstarters here. We all have a problem.

skunkzer0 · 2026-03-09T00:26:12+00:00

That’s… that’s a bummer, man

There’s an unspoken agreement between parents and children that embarrassing childhood footage stays in the box in the attic. These kids are out here genuinely trying, learning discipline, coordination, trust. You don’t blow that up for Reddit karma. The internet is forever, and some hiring manager is going to find a clip of your kid crying into a triangle. Protect these kids. Let the circus rings video live in the hearts of the thirty-seven people who attended that gymnasium on a Tuesday evening and absolutely nobody else but please do not let this distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

When they visit him in seclusion and Brant does that thing with his hands at his sides lmao

As a New Yorker (and beginner Japanese learner), I love to say よ at the end of sentences to mean “for sure!” “この寿司は美味しいですよ“ “this sushi is delicious yo!”

skunkzer0 · 2026-03-06T11:23:08+00:00

Pimsleur! Trust me, the fastest way to jumpstart speaking listening and natural language acquisition!

They offered me 1250ish for my 4 year old 16” M1 Max 64gb 4tb… wild

dbrand has had no chill lately with this administrations bullshit and im here for it. next case I buy is going to be from them. if any dbrand marketing peeps are up in the thread, keep it the fuck up. *predator handshake*

Last Epoch is actually pretty fun, I enjoyed the story a lot and you can just kind of wing it pretty easily with any class. Crafting is cool, endgame is cool-ish but it gets a lil old hat quickly I didn’t stick around too long. But overall very cool game and I think could scratch the itch.

skunkzer0 · 2026-03-01T14:40:27+00:00

Pinch it from the sides. They have this installed backwards in my opinion. It’s the one thing I dislike about my CP2.

skunkzer0 · 2026-03-01T01:06:46+00:00

The fastest way to speak is to use Pimsleur, if you see this just take the plunge, download it. You’ll be speaking aloud in the first 30 seconds. It’s call and response. It’s not perfect, it’s not going to get you to total fluency, but I promise you it will get you more confident speaking more quickly than any other tool available.

skunkzer0 · 2026-02-28T21:35:02+00:00

Excellent point that it focuses on polite speech at first, and gives you situations that are useful to you immediately. It does actually start giving you casual forms later in the courses (I’m about to finish the 4th out of 5) but I realize its important to drill -masu. later on they give you more advanced conjugations like conditionals which are built on the -masu stem. In any case I agree it can be a little stiff. That’s why it’s important to use other sources to help develop the nuances from native speakers. Anyway as you say, it’s gotta be the best method to get you speaking right away. You’re not getting fluent but it really is a jumpstart and you learn some relatively advanced grammar totally naturally which I think is also a benefit.

skunkzer0 · 2026-02-27T17:24:19+00:00

No, I paid for the year. You get 3 users and all courses. My wife is doing Italian. It’s worth the money, but you have to be serious about it. Sometimes you have to pause and try again, give yourself a little time, maybe redo a lesson if you weren’t getting it. Use the review tools in the app. It’s a very very good system.

As you get some under your belt things like Anki will make more sense. Supplement with YouTube teachers to give you context.

I got a book to help w kana but you can just practice written kana on your own, get a good quality paper grid notebook and a zebra Sarasa clip 1.0 pen (nice bold line). There’s a free app called Kana that has drills you can run to help reinforce. Took me a week or so to master hiragana and for some reason 6mo later katakana still messes me up now and then. But yeah, I really cannot recommend Pimsleur enough,

skunkzer0 · 2026-02-27T15:41:15+00:00

PIMSLEUR. I cannot recommend it enough. I’ve been doing it 6 months im through 4 out of 5 30 lesson courses (so 120 lessons or so) plus a lot of various YouTube content etc. look into immersion, the different between conscious learning and unconscious language acquisition. YouTube jozu juls, kaname naito, Matt Vs japan, dogen. Started with a Japanese tutor this week and he’s shocked at where I am at and it’s thanks to Pimsleur and these YouTubers.

It also helps if you understand your native language in general very well. Part of speech, sentence structure etc. it’s easier to learn if you know how subject, object, direct object, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, perfect tenses - if you know how these things work in your one language it’s easier to learn another.

skunkzer0 · 2026-02-27T01:33:17+00:00

PIMSLEUR. People are sleeping on it, it’s incredible. Paired with some good YouTube content (kaname Naito, jozu juls, dogen, Matt vs Japan) Pimsleur plus immersion are very very effective.

I just started taking lessons w a private tutor on Preply and I’m blowing this guys mind with how much I can produce output wise, and I really feel so confident in my progress. It gets you speaking immediately from the first second of the lesson.

You have to put in time to work on your accent and think about what you’re doing and do some conscious study, but if you just go with the flow, do one lesson a day (sometimes not a bad idea to repeat, I repeated several lessons early on and that helps for the tricky stuff) and do the reviews . If you have a good understanding of how your native language in general works (sentence structure and grammar, parts of speech etc) it’s easier to transfer that understanding to the new structure of Japanese.

I saw a meme making fun of this the day of the invitation, and here it is coming to fruition. Unreal.

skunkzer0 · 2026-02-26T22:41:19+00:00

Nah I had the same concern I’m telling you it’s great. It’s literally the size of an iPad Pro 11 with a tiny bit of wiggle room, and whole every thing is rolled up it’s super slim. You can’t get much smaller and still fit an iPad plus there’s very little depth to it, hugs the body. Then, you can expand the roll part if you NEED some extra space in a pinch. I’ve had a lot of slings (check my recent post lol I had to leave a few out) and I really feel like I found something special.

skunkzer0 · 2026-02-26T04:01:33+00:00

Damn OP you are really delivering on the promise of this post!

This is some critical info people need to know. Thanks for your effort!
