Duolingo for Japanese is garbage. I caught multiple mistakes for kanji readings. I don't trust it to refresh my Japanese.

I am using it for Spanish now. From what I heard, Duolingo is very good for Spanish, French, and German.

I am so glad that I was never a huge fan of Gaiman because some folks in Fantasy(reading/writing) are devastated. Yeah the site that posted the news is questionable, but it's easy not to rely on it once you consider the similarities and start searching on your own from there. Found references to whisper networks and Gaiman on social media going back to at least 2018. I see why it ran mostly under the radar. A lot of the folks talking about him being a sex pest were in publishing, working bookstores, or interns working in organizations he dealt with. 

I do think there was some inoculation for the people being nosy(me) during the Covid lockdown incident when he abandoned his baby for a period of time. If he could do all of that, he could do worse shit. This is definitely giving credence to the warning that famous folks heavily active on multiple social media sites are walking red flags. Can't remember where I heard that but I've seen it proven true multiple times since then.

I think I've fallen in love with the Spanish language. The spelling is so consistent, even though it's spoken in so many countries, the vowels are all pure like they are in Japanese, and it has such an interesting culture from things like pirates, Don Quixote, and the fountain of youth. 

Honestly, better to fall in love with a language than a human these days. 😭

Another interesting thing that Spanish shares with Japanese is the frequent dropping of pronouns in a sentence. In English, this often sounds colloquial or improper, but it is completely natural and grammatically correct in those two languages.

Shit, now I'm being a huge linguistic nerd 🤓😭

My week started with the same bullshit I was hoping to leave behind.  Missed a package and can't seem to reschedule it, zero phone calls from any of the places I sent my resume, and Prime Video's big panel for SDCC is The Rings of Power, which is astroturfed to hell because no one cares about ROP.

That moment when a dumbass content creator finally realizes that Charelston White is a clout chasing ass bitch this whole time. You can't take the clout back homie.

For one of my packages, the USPS tracking said it was delivered in/at my mailbox.

It was never in my mailbox. I never received it. So I tried filling out a form on USPS.com for a missing mail form. The website's broken and it won't work. :LithiumSmileyS:

HOW? It's not like he's in any way subtle about it.

Me: I will not let Matt Smith in that wig and acting all fucked up and hot trick me into watching House of the Dragon. I know that shit's gonna piss me off the same as Game of Thrones.

I wish there was a good alternative to Patreon. While written stories with some heat will fly under the radar more than comics, Patreon has still been annoying lately. *Looks at animator who worked on porn with underage characters* Except you. You know damn well they were gonna get you for that shit.

*Goes to Reddit to see how Subscribestar is doing. Sees nothing but complaints. Siiiigghh*

That hasn't been the consensus since before OoT came out.

Ok.....not that the consensus is LttP is the goat. I'm just saying to me the goat is LttP.

I try to be concise but I forget that when you're around I need to be needlessly specific in my posts lest I get chastised again.  My bad. I knew better.

........goat should be an acronym...Sorry, G.O.A.T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

....G.O.A.T means greatest of all time.

Maybe read more carefully and respond to the actual question if you don't want that kind of answer.

Is the general consensus still that Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game ever?

ANYway....

I just got a bunch of new CDs to listen to, and I don't feel like listening to any of them. I don't know what I feel like doing right now.... I think I want to get the band back together but my sleeping habits are too erratic to commit to anything other than work.

I don't think so. Many younger gamers like Breath of the Wild the most, and Majora's Mask has now taken quite a bit of attention from Ocarina of Time away, as gamers finally begun to appreciate it more.

I learned from my Indian friend that Duolingo gives official English tests similar to TOEFL that can be used to get into universities. Interesting, considering native English speakers tend to only know about the Duolingo app.

All the insanity going on today and the cherry on top was that the creator of Mighty Magiswords was arrested for CP.

 

 

This was a day…

Just remembering that one time 20 years ago when a local talk radio show host tried to sell his vote on eBay. If I remember correctly the final number was at $102.00 before it got taken down. Maybe I should...never mind let me get out of there.

I've been on psych meds for years, largely due to depression and anxiety, and then later PTSD. It's been so hard to get out of the hole I'd been shoved into. But I've done it, I'm finally actually getting better - I'm going to the gym, eating healthy, drinking water, and abstaining from alcohol. I'm now cleared to just...exist...without meds. I'm so happy I could burst.
