A special kind of chuckle.

"hehe…^FUCK. "

Every fucking “select the squares” Recaptcha I do I end up failing multiple times. Am I a mf robot or do other people experience this too?

They’re the leading cause of death in children.

Uh…WHAT? Ain’t no fucking way. *checks statistics*

…😳 what the actual fuck. Y’all doin alright down there?

B-boner? Tf kinda noise is your boner making?

What would you have Bernie do after loosing his primary?

Ah man, you’ve got a Cadillac.

I had me an old Panasonic model at my old apartment that wasn’t as nice but goddamn if you set that MF to the strongest setting 🫨🫨. The thing would clean your ass, rectum and colon lol.

I know a guy that said he doesn’t wash around his ass when he showers because “that’s gay as hell”. I don’t even wanna know what kind of biome he’s got flourishing down there.

This would make a ton of sense if your choice of Lemmy instance were not just that; a choice. It’s not a characteristic innate to your being that you’re born with or something.

You can choose to associate with whatever instance you want and swap it up with another account somewhere else if you want at any time (you can prob keep the same username if you want too).

I love me some bullet trains, but there is a certain distance that makes planes way more viable.

There should be a lot more (and higher quality) high speed rail between cities of moderate distance, however.

The literal way to read what you wrote is to never ask Flatpak, in order:

1. how it can download more
2. the total file size

The only reason no one thinks this is what you mean is because of how many people also mess this up.

I’ve found that when I watch something in another language with subtitles, I find myself going by what I heard, and using the subtitles to support or reinforce sections or words I didn’t understand. I often end up disagreeing with how things are translated, or there is something said in the foreign language that can’t simply be translated. In other words, I think using subtitles as reinforcement can be useful, whereas just reading every line and not thinking in the other language for yourself might not really be helping you much.

I think that’s also how you get to being able to think in another language too. When you’re immersed in it, it seeps into your thought process.

In lots of Canada we have French immersion schools, where English-speaking kids who never encounter French outside of the classroom can become quite fluent in French by giving over half their instruction in French. With age and a few hours of exposure per day, it etches itself into the brain pretty well.

I don’t completely agree that anime Japanese is so different from real life Japanese. There is certainly some grammar used that, while correct Japanese, would very rarely be used in real speech. But for the most part, once you have a solid foundation of the language down, and anime or untranslated manga can become very good tools for learning. However, I would not use anime or manga for learning until you know enough to know what is out-of-place and should not be used in real life speech.

I feel as though using structured learning via textbook and—if possible—class (in person or online) is ideal until about early intermediate level. You can tell that there has been a lot of thought into what is taught when. After that, learning on your own becomes easy as you can easily identity what you don’t know and what exactly you need to look up.

True, but even if Steam were to offer a x% lower cut on sales for Linux users if the developer makes a Linux-native build, it’d still not entice many to build and maintain a native port if they are only saving x% off a tiny y% of users. Other poster’s point being that incentives like this would actually become enticing to companies when Linux market share (Proton users) increases.

Doubtful Steam is gonna offer a share cut on all sales when it runs on Proton for the 2% of userbase using Linux, and from that only a minority would care whether or not it’s native anyway.

There are…other countries? WHAT!? 🫨

FTFY:

If you want some bomb-ass Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, get this stuff.

Looks like it’s out of stock right now on amazon.com, but it’s available on amazon.ca.

I lived for a while in Hakata and went out for ramen at an entirely unhealthy frequency, so I’ve got some cred lol. This stuff isn’t the same, but it’s by far the best ramen broth I’ve had at home.

I haven’t tried too many different noodles, but so far this has been the best. Kinda steep price per bowl tho, so I only use them once in a while. You might be able to get better, maybe fresher ramen noodles from a local Asian grocery store.

With that combo, you’ve got the core of a damn good bowl of at-home ramen that you can make in 5 minutes. See if you can find some pork belly, cut into slices or hunks (your preference), add whatever you use for garnish and you’ve got a cheap bowl of ramen you could probably justify charging money for.

If someone blew up the toilet or smtg sus, hmu. tbh we high-key tryna glow-up this campground frfr. can’t stop won’t stop til this place straight up slays ong. need ur help fam. thx
