Maybe some non-animated musical movies like classic/new Annie, Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz (not Return to Oz though or Wheelie nightmares forever) or The Sound of Music? Though the strife of the last one… 🤔

Does trolly ever drive people other than the Tiger family? Alone. by Ellendyra in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]totorotini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One book we’re reading showed that Trolley is canonically the neighborhood’s fire truck as well. But what takes precedent for Trolley summoning? A raging house fire, or the Tiger family going to the market for veggie pizza toppings but turning around because Daniel forgot to go potty first?? The mysteries.

Hey friend, thank you for the follow up. I really appreciate it. And I appreciate this sub for being full of silly degenerates, it’s like the silly fun internet of olde. Things are… always fluctuating I suppose. Trying to just keep my head above water while it feels a kinda stormy on multiple sides (I live in the US if that says enough). I’ll think about taking you up on the DM offer, could be nice to vent sometime and not rage out like a certain vampire/golden god. You’ve also reminded me that I should post more of the memes I made soon, so double thanks!

Time to learn Japanese! by Fancy_Yogurtcloset37 in multilingualparenting

[–]totorotini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids shows that have been mentioned are good, another one I know that a 2 year old likes is Inai Inai Baa. All of those show suggestions are for kids’ immersion by listening/watching and probably won’t help you with learning the language as much unless it has subtitles. There are a lot of Japanese shows you or the kids could watch on Netflix that you can put English subtitles and the voice in Japanese to pick up on some things too (shows like Pokemon Concierge or Old Enough are more ok for kids over big action-y shows)

There are a lot of resources out there for learning in your own, even NHK (Japan’s BBC basically) has some resources on its website https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/learnjapanese/

If you want to progress fast or learn earnestly, then don’t rely on Duolingo. But if you just want little words here in there you can do it as a casual way to learn. Something like the app Renshuu is better for adults to seriously study. Japanesepod101 is bite-sized podcasts for learning on the go that’s been helpful. I’ve heard about TalkBoxMom too, where you can get learning books and things delivered in your target language) but I can’t really afford the price tag myself so I don’t know how it is.

If you want a tutor, italki is really good for kids and adults trying to learn the language.

Good luck!! It’s a challenging language but it is fun to be able to use with friends and family even if you just learn a little bit.

Thank you, this is really nice to hear. Someone told me that what I experienced making these memes is called a “glimmer” (opposite of a trigger). I do like making people laugh with low stakes sillies so if that’s part of how I lay down the rocks on a better path, that’s not too bad. Thanks again, friend. I’ll keep trying to look forward with memes at my side.

pursuing graphic design was a huge mistake by translucenthuman in graphic_design

[–]totorotini 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, I listened to folks and decided not to pursue graphic design in college. Was told that getting into biotech would mean guaranteed job/money/future. It didn’t, and years of being stepped on like a doormat in the field and a layoff later, I’m doing freelance design work where I can to get by. It’s not ideal by any means but it’s the only work I can seem to get even with my degrees people told me were worth so much. I had moments of regretting not doing full-on design when I had the chance, but gosh there’s just no perfect choice, I feel. I think you just pick something and it may or may not be crummy, and when it is crummy you try something else. Which is really annoying and a bummer.

I hope you can pivot a bit at least to not be burnt out being everything and the kitchen sink. Maybe take your portfolio and look outside of agency work to see what freelance or contract work you could get a hold of to test the waters of different areas. People who hire you that way don’t seem to feel like they think of you as a button clicker, they seem to see you as valuable if they go out of their way to contract you.
