-clothes or furniture you no longer find a place for in your home with friends/relatives. Is your sight only stuck on the here and now. I promise if you buy things without having the easy way out of living with them until they fall apart, your spending habits will be much better.

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]

hot take but if you buy things with the thought of 'if I don't like it I'll just unhaul it' then you're not 'organising your life', you are, in fact, part of the problem.

like absolute shade meant but what do you mean you're unhauling books because you've read them once already or throwing half your closet away coz you haven't worn some of them in like a year. Do you not reread your books. Do your tastes not change. Do you not exchange books, -

(yes, this is about the KaoruHana subs and I have a ton more to say, starting with italicizing indirect speech chaotically (when it should be italicized only during voiceover/phone calls or not at all) and ending with all of the sentence subjects playing hot potato in a convo)

I don't know exactly when I noticed it, but more and more I find some truly baffling translation choices in anime subs that can only have been made by a machine. It's not like I'm fluent in Japanese, but even I can notice that when A wants to go home after visiting B, and B says-

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]

'Is it okay that I won't walk you home?' in Japanese and the subs translate it as 'You can't walk me home, it's okay' IN B'S OWN DAMN HOUSE, it's not merely a Blind Idiot translation but something else entirely.

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]

@yeahwhyyes The nerve of some people is just... I was this close to knocking on her door and asking her if it was a kink thing lmao

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]

Call me unwoke or whatever but if you're taking a call on speaker in a public restroom then I don't respect you as a human being.

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]

Binge watched KaoruHana yesterday and I am so nostalgic for my high school days ooof

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]

@yeahwhyyes I wasn't even the only person in the restroom!!! This lady didn't even stutter talking over not one but two separate flushings of the toilets????

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]

@yeahwhyyes Well this particular German customer at my job did lol??? I was (excuse my language) trying to exorcise the demons I ate for dinner and she just. Walked in, face timing her friend and gossiping abt this or that person. And continued the convo for like 5min till I exited???

[Kei 郭花丽💮beach vacay pls @keislanguages]
