@Neuronensturm@Pirat_Nation Aesthetics are just important as efficiency, more so when it comes to customization. Same reason someone would stick with a Corvette from the 80s, over one from the modern era
@mellifera_x3 Speaking to more seasoned language learners, my impression of the JLPT is that with enough focus and dedication, it is ultra easy to bullshit your way to a passing grade on even the hardest level of it. That why, when I started teaching it, my focus was on conversational skill
@nerissa_en For Kanji, I'd say learn vocab first, then shift into learning Kanji, when you have enough vocab to use written and spoken Japanese with little trouble. Seeing the readings in action, in different words will do a lot more to help you remember them, than trying to drill them
@nerissa_en If you're looking for where to begin, I'd say learn the basics on how は,が,を,で,に,から,まで,へ,と, and も work, as particles, and try making a sentence with each, just to feel for it. After all, the best way to get better at using a language is using a language
@nerissa_en After that, learn how to form the basic tenses of the language with nouns, verbs, adjectives, and so on as you develop sentence structures for you to fill with what you need. I highly recommend learning how to use xはyがz, as this will let you get A LOT across, while you study
@nerissa_en As a teacher of Japanese, I'd say grammar and Kanji study, when you're at the beginner stage, and do pardon my lack of tact, will do diddly squat for you. Learning the basic sounds and written systems of the language first will give you a far stronger base, going forward
@MPrincess808 Trauma doesn't excuse hurt. Writing "I'm sorry" on crumpled paper doesn't uncrumple it. Caine realized it, where Jax never did. You don't make people like Jax better by feeling sorry for him. You make them better by challenging them to be better, and do better each and every day
In case it's not clear enough: Jax is trash, and threw away the friendship those people gave him like it was so much trash. I have no pity for people like them, and want people like them as far away as possible. No one should allow that sort of toxicity in their lives. Fuck Jax
Would like to say that Jax is a gigantic piece of trash that drove everyone they've ever cared about to the absolute breaking point, and even with realizing they're trash, and being driven to that point, deserved so much worse for everything they put those around him through
@KevGalaxybender@BuffGigas I think you're looking at the technical definition of MMA, vs the applied one. Dural is just a bunch of other characters stitched together to make one moves moveset. Cielo is what MMA does, in turning multiple disciplines into one coherent way of sport combat
@aiue_etizenn As much as I have distaste for such materials, I have even greater distaste for people who try and intimidate those who draw it into censoring themselves. Fuck those prudes. Keep drawing whatever the hell you want
