I know it’s not your video, I meant it’s not the creator’s face on the thumbnail, sorry about that. I really can’t stand the thumbnail and I can’t give the click especially for a topic I don’t really care about. Honey sucks. I learned that a while ago.
That being said, thank you very much for sharing the video.

Majora’s Mask too, I think.
- Comment on What is the cheapest console to get and collect for that still holds up? 4 days ago:
I totally agree with this. The only reason why I have hardware (some original and a multi-console-in-one) is because I stream as a hobby in Japan and the general public doesn’t have a positive view on emulation.

Haha, man, I love reading these expressions people are using to describe their massive shits in this entire thread.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to hide this post because it’s really creeping me out. It’s not even his video right? No way I’m clicking on that.

I thought honey disappeared like two years ago after some scandal.

I personally believe the platform provider needs to be accountable because they take a cut for the convenience and safety of the transaction.

Donate more and stop bothering me.
- Comment on Through gritted teeth, Apple and Google allow alternative app stores in Japan 5 days ago:
I’ve never found this to be an issue as a Pixel user who never buys IAPs in Japan (or much of the PlayStore, honestly). But it’s cool that I can pick different payment options. Does this mean iPhone users can basically install whatever app they want or do apps still need to be approved by Apple or something?
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 5 days ago:
OP argued that giving police such powers is a bad idea because there will be NEW vectors for people to harm others — not that other, easier ways don’t exist already.
Then you come in and say, there are ways to kill people using cars already. Literally, the only thing we can say to that is, “yes, we know and what is your point?”

- Comment on Apple opens up its App Store to competition in Japan 1 week ago:
It would be so cool to have homebrew apps on the switch 2. I would only need simple text editing and video chat for work when I travel so it would be great to be able to do that without having to carry my laptop.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers 1 week ago:
Kind of a tangent, but what really scares me about the “turn on red” rule is that it’s not the same around the globe.
There are so many international drivers here in Japan that turn left at a red light without realizing that’s completely illegal. It catches pedestrians completely off guard. I think on Montreal Island you couldn’t do this either.
Stopping at a red light when wanting to turn isn’t some rare, obscure situation, so people who are travelling have to BE ABSOLUTELY SURE about this rule before they make use of their international lisence.

- Comment on Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not) 1 week ago:
I have sort of the opposite problem. My wife and I moved to Japan in our 20s and it was pretty damn easy because I’m a citizen and I had family help me find an apartment for us. We were 100% set in terms of basic necessities in like a week and could start job hunting immediately. Now that I’m in my 40s, we’re trying to go back to Canada so we can take care of our parents more and let the kids experience Canadian schools, but it’s so god damn expensive to do anything.

Is that what the original premise was supposed to be? I saw it as some annoying kid who got rewarded handsomely for his socially inept behaviour. To me, he was so unlikable.

Yeah, how is that xenophobic?
- Comment on Transliterated country names into Chinese Language use pre-existing characters that already has its own meaning, therefore native Chinese speakers have a subconcious impression based on country names. 2 weeks ago:
Interesting. In Japanese, we have the concept of ateji, where we just put Chinese characters for the sound so we just know not to take the meanings so literally. But we do tend to pick nice or neutral-sounding characters. i.e. we wouldn’t use characters like 死 or 糞 for the sound lol. This is the same for peoples’ names.

A lot of non mammals other organs to help them perceive. Even aquatic mammals like whales have echolocation. That’s probably why the front facing rule doesn’t apply universally to all animals.

- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 4 weeks ago:
As a translator, I have to say machine translations are really good if you just want to get the gist of things. If all you want is to understand 90% of what’s written and you can live with the margin of error, then I’m not gonna try to convince you to hire me.
But if you need to understand 99.9% then a human is required because a machine just will not understand the nuance or have a larger context unless instructed. Localizing is another issue too, you’ll have to take into consideration the cultural nuance of the target language. Localizing software is even more niche because you’re often limited in character count for the source language which machines often misunderstand, and the same limitation for the target language that a machine may not account for.
tl;dr - hire me if you want good localization
