Being living proof of that does not make it right, John

It’s also convenient between japanese and English that “ga aru mon (mono) ka” is an established colloquial phrase. Both languages have the equivalent phrase “is that a thing/nah that’s not a thing”

Shut the fuck up and let the 1% choke on cancer offal

+1 to you, otherwise

When You Have annihilated the Impossible Whatever Remains, However Improbable, Must Be the Truth

There’s a difference between destroying something so it can never be true, and ruling it out through deductive reasoning why it can’t be true. There’s a greater opportunity to learn by dismissing something but leaving it intact.

+1 to your tamaniwa examples and adding “once in a while”

Oh thank you. In that case excuse the pun but

k0e desu

k0e san

I just realised you are the OP on this and the last post I commented on, and you’re posting questions and answering them yourself to provide examples. Derp on my part.

For anyone interested in why, Nobita (right) is already aware Doraemon (middle) is from the future and should understand the possibility of meeting his grandchild when time travel is available. Hence Doraemon calling him an idiot.

I wondered why I was having so much trouble with it, i thought it was a made up “just make it look japanese” thing. Yes its mirrored as k0e3 says.

As someone who has been asked for kanji tattoo advice for decades, pre Internet, its ok to draw inspiration from this picture for the design but then you check the text in a dictionary, draw up the tattoo pattern and these days check with knowledgeable people online on the final design. AND whatever else you need to do with the artist. I don’t have any tattoos or piercings, I can’t speak to that side.

I already have a one eyed black cat so a crow. I will name her Crogue Leader, and she will command her murder, Crogue Squadron.

Are you the evil twin to the Derwent Valley mayor

My Japanese isn’t good enough and I’m not asking my mum to help.

That’s her actual name? That’s almost as bad as when I wanted to name a character Nakadashi Anaru.

Reputation sanitising in full force eh?

I thought that was Kent from Stardew Valley in the back at first

Im still amused by how the Dookie bonus track and the one on Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill are, if you choose to hear it that way, the same song.

I like that the suicide prevention number is wrong. It should still dial, but funny.

I hissed “yessssssss” when the squirrel made it across the busy road safe and sound.

Yeah possibly ace. You mentioned trauma, this could be theirs, and they’re not necessarily at a stage they understand it in the same way you were once, before coming to the term comphet.

I could be projecting but it feels familiar to me.

There are plenty of people who I also wish my email finds them in a nettle bush.

I reached out to dozens over lockdown (which probably adds to how successful it was).

Everyone who saw the message replied. All of them were really positive about hearing from me. One had even tried to contact me but only had my deadname to search for. Most of them we chatted for a bit then it naturally tapered off, but we still catch up once in a while. And a few are now good, solid friends.

Definitely recommend.
