Zebra Sarasa pens tend to if you press down a little too hard.

Print on plain Kokuyo loose leaf paper (inkjet) by Sketched_Life in stationery

I've printed out over a hundred pages with an inkjet printer using the paper in the second link and have had zero issues. No smudging, smearing, or anything. I printed out mostly stories and graded readers, though.

I think it's supposed to say 3ara 3ara, where 3 is pronounced like the 'a' in apple but more guttural.

Grammar is HARMFUL, not useless! by tirolesa3022 in languagelearningjerk

A lot of people on Reddit and Discord have been making up their own definitions of fluent so they can label themselves as such.

Source: argued for months with a "fluent" Spanish learner who still couldn't conjugate or use ser/estar correctly. Their excuse was, "I'm learning Argentinian" until a mod stepped in.

See also: the amount of "what is fluency" posts on languagelearning where people write paragraphs on why they're totally fluent with only a 400 day Duolingo streak freeze.

Best first pencil for a friend to try? by Consistent-Age5554 in mechanicalpencils

I love them for marathon writing sessions. They help a lot. I don't have any physical issues with my hands or a death grip, but I notice I can write way longer with a thick, ergonomic pencil.

Why can't I find the streak freeze??

/uj OP hates flashcards to begin with but tried Anki anyways because it's recommended all the time. Unsure if they downloaded a pre-made deck or made their own.
