@tunmise7j@Jadeeslike Yeah that's just good world building. Why wouldn't you make incredible abilities come at some incredible cost while writing a story?
@E68Montain@omgmaddie The difference between men's and women's romance is when commitment occurs.
Women's romance culminates in it. Men's romance begins with it, the narrative externally tests and strengthens it.
Could easily be told from the girl's perspective as long as she's loyal and competent.
@katie_campione Romantasy is too backwards from male taste to ever broadly appeal to us.
In men's romance commitment is not the payoff, it's the setting. Retention of commitment through external adversity is the payoff. If you can't understand why we prefer this, you simply have no empathy.
@LyxPar@nekorize Because I can read. It's not perfect but it's an actual translation instead of made-up unrelated nonsense. Calling the official one "less accurate" is incorrect. It is not accurate at all. It's a rewrite that vaguely shares a vibe.
@Abomination81@Utah_Cajun There's your trouble. 11 to 7 was way too late for the kind of employees you wanted. People who have it together want to start and end early. No one who wants to start at 11 can pass a drug test on demand. You had two diametrically opposed requirements.
@MILK_Doll__@dvorstone@nomonkeynodeal@grok IQ cannot be tested on a website. They must be administered in person by a psychologist to be valid. Our most accurate IQ estimates are made by extrapolating them from established correlations with SATs and college entrance exam scores and such.
@MProvatakis@mas_uncovered@CreatorPulsee Are they really a net benefit when H1Bs are sending their checks home, driving up rent, and driving down wages? You think any janitor who cleans bathrooms used by H1Bs would agree with you? There's more to it than how much they earn.
@MProvatakis@mas_uncovered@CreatorPulsee Is that surprising when they bring their mentality of izzat and jugaad with them? Even Vivek Ramaswamy said our founders "sacrificed their honor" lol no they didn't, he mentally translated "izzat" to "honor" which is incorrect but he's too primitive to know the difference
@LyxPar@nekorize The issue is that it's not a translation at all, they just made it up. Right is speaking in her own weird way, not using any popular phrases. Left is attempting to translate in her head, and satisfied with her translation.
@JohnSmi29533189@2sallads@MonyaGPG Cause it's based on vibes. There are English rules you don't consciously know, yet follow perfectly.
Don't look it up, explain to me why you know that "big red dog" is correct while "red big dog" is wrong.
How do you expect anyone to be able to explain way more subtle things?
@JohnSmi29533189@2sallads@MonyaGPG Difference between stress emphasis and pitch accent partly, but I honestly have no idea how to explain most of it. If you listen to people who are fully fluent in both languages, their English and Japanese voices sound totally different. Check out Dogen on YouTube for an example
@broodwars64@EndymionYT Okay fine, The Simpsons, Archer, South Park, Rick and Morty, King of the Hill, pick whatever you like.
Untheatrical is a reasonable complaint, plenty of less comedic cartoons with an adult target audience have normal voices you'd hear in live action, from here and Japan.
@linkasobi@EndymionYT Good dubs exist. Rare for us, but common in every language other than English. We're being shafted by a toxic clique of arrogant theater kids.
@broodwars64@EndymionYT Nobody ever said that. Why can't they sound like American cartoons? Nobody complains about Family Guy voices despite no one sounding realistic. You can sound weird in English, just not the same way you can in Japanese. Different languages. Go figure.
@MProvatakis@mas_uncovered@CreatorPulsee They don't.
You're talking about immigrants, which are naturally their best. If you compare our best to their best as is fair, it's not close. If you compare our average to their average(all of them, not just immigrants) it's not close.
@noln87@2sallads It's not anime style, it's based on a specific genre of wooden puppet television shows from Japan, which were inspired by puppet shows from Britain.
@Cicada_Hooman@deepmaker_us@2sallads Half the English speaking anime community chooses to watch in a language that they do not understand while splitting attention between reading and watching. We don't do it because we're purists. We do it because dubs are offensively horrible.
