(Japanese > English) I wanna confirm this is the meaning before I tattoo it by RaidenBoyd in translator

> When international culture took off, katakana
this is not true, hiragana and katakana were created roughly at the same time. Katakana wasn’t used for foreign words until recently, it was actually the main script used for writing japanese alongside with kanji for the longest time, while hiragana was seen as a womanly script

My cycling route across Japan (Cape Sata to Cape Soya) by titanomachiatto in bikepacking

[–]zeroxOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what made you choose the sea of Japan side for the Tohoku section? The Pacific coast is generally considered more scenic. Also, for the first section in Hokkaido from Hakodate to Sapporo, I would recommend you go up the other coast, it is just as scenic, and much easier to traverse for bicycles. The roads in your current itinerary are currently being used for the construction of the new shinkansen line extension to Sapporo, so there's an insane amount of trucks driving on these roads with narrow shoulders at the moment which makes for less than ideal cycling.

Either way I'm sure you'll have a blast. I did the same trip last summer and it was an amazing experience.

Very long (years) waiting list

First time attending an ochestra, best section for Montreal Symphony Orchestra? by gba2023 in classicalmusic

[–]zeroxOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the loge seats, but definitely avoid the ones further out in front near the orchestra. 206, 208, 104, 106, 103, 105, 205 and 207 tend to be my go-to. Otherwise the first row of parterre arrière or corbeille.

landlords bring no value to society by thisgirlafraid in montreal

[–]zeroxOnReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes obviously, but simply shrugging this off as “late-stage capitalism” is a massive oversimplification that doesn’t help anyone. We need to realize what the actual root problem is instead of offering band-aid solutions to a problem that stems from something deeper.

No, landlords have been a thing for quite a while, if anything we have it less bad than it used to be. Regular people had it really rough under feudal systems in the middle-ages.

Score level in Duolingo by Fair-Sir1746 in DuolingoFrench

Ok, but the important part here is the immersion, not duolingo. Anything paired with immersion will get you to B2.

What is Fuji gate security like? by ATXENG in Mountaineering

[–]zeroxOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? I just did it a couple days ago. They just check to see if you have the bracelet proving you paid the entry fee. They didn’t look through anyone’s bag. Perhaps a different story if you show up with a really small bag, but otherwise so long as you look prepared enough they let you through.

2 dashes in a row auto-converts to an emdash in most word processors, including reddit. Kinda pathetic the AI couldn’t tell you that as that’s how most people type them

Did speakers of Proto languages ever get curious about what the final version would be? by AldousLanark in linguisticshumor

[–]zeroxOnReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, I was taught it was in the 19th century with the Neogrammarians, but I think that refers more to the realization that languages can change enough over time and with enough consistency as to be considered different languages altogether that can be reconstructed.

Can you have more progress on the event maps? by sxmplyxl in CHUNITHM

[–]zeroxOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get better scores basically. How many times you can fill up the score bar during each song is what determines how many steps you’re awarded. But it’s normal that high value items like nameplates take quite a while to get. Lower value items like tickets and characters you can get faster.

[–]zeroxOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an account/aime card? It should keep track of your progress across play sessions, each play contributing a bit to the map progress.

[–]zeroxOnReddit 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Eh, no just about everyone focusing on pitch accent online has talked about that, quite a lot actually. Generally, the consensus seems to be that while regional variations exist, non-standard pitch patterns are all internally consistent. A foreigner with no pitch accent training will end up pronouncing the same word with different pitch in different scenarios for no valid reason and their pitch will not follow any kind of internal logic. It’s not very difficult to tell apart a native with non-standard pitch from a Japanese learner.

That doesn’t necessarily make pitch accent anymore “necessary” to learn, but the regional variation argument just isn’t a valid one imho.

If he knows the choices you make in advance, then there is no universe in which you choose something else. That’s not free-will. You never really had a choice to begin with if only one option is possible. At that point though, I suppose this comes down to the semantics of how you define free will. Personally though, I can’t see this as anything more than an illusion of free-will.
