I could’ve ended if they hadn’t given so many concessions to the slavers, but they let that shit fester and grow and now the whole country is the fucking nazi bar.

as someone who’s Dutch, the way this all works in English is so absurd
Yeah but don’t you say Japan instead of Nihon/Nippon? Every language does this to a certain extent.
- Comment on Learning Japanese 1 week ago:
Just remember that “no” is the particle that indicates possession, so you need to show what it’s possessing if you use it.
Sore can be used as a subject or object directly:
それを説明して下さい。
Explain that please.Compared to:
その話を説明して下さい。 Explain that conversation please.
Using “no” to show possession can be used without indicating the possessed word with regular nouns, but not the kono/sono/ano words.

Is that the Grinch’s native language?
- Comment on Learning Japanese 1 week ago:
Or any country really. I’d be curious to see if a chart of languages ranked on how many countries’ endonyms are also the same word in that language. But there’s definitely no language that doesn’t have exonyms.

- Comment on I did a complete bathroom remodel 1 week ago:
Bathrooms where there’s no division between the shower and your toilet and sink suck ass. Why would you want to hose your entire bathroom down every time you take a shower? What do people have against shower curtains or doors?
Ideally the toilet would be in a completely different room from the shower, but a shower stall is the bare minimum.

- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 2 weeks ago:
日 is sun and 本 is origin (in this case), which lines up with the western moniker for Japan as the land of the rising sun.
Also I’d say that goodbye is a decent enough translation for sayonara. I can’t remember the last time I said goodbye in English (instead of bye or see you), and seems almost as formal and final as farewell, which seems almost outdated at this point. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually used that in my entire life.
- Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space 2 weeks ago:
That would’ve been great. I don’t think I was aware of emulators until well after I’d stopped using floppies though. Looks like the first widespread emulator was iNES in 96 and then Nesticle in 97, though apparently someone made a very early Famicom one in 1990!

At least they call Germany “doitsu”

Still remember my friend making a copy of doom 2 for me using pkzip… I think it took about 10 disks.

I hate that OPs get to control conversations on posts by essentially being able to delete what everyone said when they take the post down. I’ve been in the middle of conversations before and the post just vanishes, essentially cutting everyone off.
At least on reddit the comments didn’t go anywhere if the OP link got deleted

- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 3 weeks ago:
These days even the white folk are stuck in shit jobs because everyone and their mom wants to live in Japan. You need more than just a bachelor’s in whatever to make it long term.
Granted it’s probably still more difficult for non white or Asian people, but I wasn’t really taliking about long term prospects. Even still, it’s way easier to immigrate if you get married than somewhere like the US.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 3 weeks ago:
Japan’s easier than most people think. As long as you have a college degree you can get a shit job pretty easily.
