  • I haven't played the recent games, but isn't it impossible for a Pokémon to switch in cursed or confused?

  • Yeah, messed up the formatting. I've edited the original comment. Thanks.

  • If anyone is interested, here is a documentary about the centralisation of Korea which is related to this article.

    Edit: link formatting

  • Test Yourself: Which Faces Were Made by A.I.?
  • 2/10. Are there any giveaways that a face is AI generated?

  • Why do people keep asking where I'm from?
  • As a mixed third generation immigrant, I get this a lot. In my experience, most people want to know my ethnicity, but for some reason they never ask me that directly.

  • Would you be buried alive for 48hr for a million dollars?
  • No way. Imagine being stuck in complete darkness unable to move your body for that amount of time. I'd lose my mind and probably have a panic attack thinking to myself what if they don't dig me up?. The money isn't worth the mental trauma that would cause me.

  • How far would someone have to travel to be considered “Well traveled”?
  • I'm not sure if that would be considered well travelled from a European perspective. For example if you live in the Netherlands, you could drive to Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and France all within 3-5 hours. A quick Google says the average European visits 8 countries within their lifetime. Geographical proximity and culturally dissimilarity definitely need to be considered.

    The weakness of the yen has helped Japanese exporters as it makes their products cheaper overseas.

    Japan economy gets major boost from weak currency

    6% is huge. The question is, who benefits?

  • Ah I misread that, If I were you, I'd just make your GitHub look as professional as possible. So that in the extremely rare chance that someone does Google you, it's obvious that the the accounts aren't linked.

    That being said, your career is not over and the anxiety you have is all in your head.

  • Scared
  • Can't you just delete your Reddit account (delete all your comments/posts first), and the problem will be solved?

  • Italki experiences?
  • Thanks for sharing, did you stick with the same tutor throughout the 2 years?

  • Italki experiences?

    Has anyone used Italki or a similar platform to aid in their studies?

    I'm considering taking weekly lessons with a tutor, the main goal in specifically improving my speaking.

    I've lived in Japan for a few years and work in a Japanese company and while my comprehension is okay, my output is terrible and I always hesitate to speak.

    I'm hoping a tutor would give me some real-time feedback on my speaking and help build my confidence.

    I don't need a professional teacher / structured lessons and I guess my budget would be around ¥2000 for the hour (is it reasonable?)

    Please let me know your experiences.

    Clean Tiny Home...
  • If it was a private secure carpark, I wonder if you could set up a tent there? Take showers at a nearby gym and use a pocket WiFi to stay online. But I guess cooking and electricity would be an issue though.

  • I'm using wefwef (voyager) and I can't see the difference unfortunately

  • Protip:
  • I was a broke adolescent back in 2011, but now I am a working adult with some disposable income. So the image is accurate.

  • What are your motivations or goals that make you learn Japanese?
  • I unexpectedly had the opportunity to move to Japan straight after university, and so took it. Before that, Japan and learning Japanese wasn't even on my radar (I minored in German, hoping to work there actually).

    I've been here for 5 years now and within the past year, I've been itching to try living somewhere else/learn new languages, but it's not so easy when I've invested so much time into Japan/Japanese.

  • What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play?
  • League of Legends. I've sank so many hours into it a few years back. It's not a bad game, just highly addictive and toxic. It was only really worth playing it with friends, but now they've all moved on.

  • How many hours did you all spend in TOTK?
  • I haven't bought the game yet because I'm afraid of getting hooked on it..

  • JLPT July 2023 - Megathread
  • Took the N2. Considering they increased the price of the test, I was expecting a better experience, but it was still pretty chaotic and it seemed to be the proctors first time.

    As for the test content, I thought the vocab and grammar was fair, but the listening was more difficult than I anticipated.

    I probably failed though simply because I don't read enough in Japanese, and had to rush through that section. Hoping to change that though.

    That being said, I'm not sure if I'll ever bother with the test again.
