Small tip: でも can only be used to start a sentence; for connecting two halves of a sentence you should use けど or が depending on formality level.

Learned Japanese on a whim so I could watch anime without subtitles. Now by complete coincidence I’m in Japan and not banging my head against the nearly insurmountable language barrier (Japanese people are really bad at English).
You’re getting downvoted but indigenous people in, say, Canada and Australia tend to be the staunchest pro-environment advocates so there’s merit to this idea.
Okay everyone, get your pitchforks ready because if he does veer off to the center and doesn’t get significant backlash from the left y’all are doomed, no two ways about it.
Why would they ever do that? Buying a new Tesla is one thing, but using one they’ve already paid for doesn’t benefit Musk. Why would there be a threshold for them to get rid of their perfectly fine car?
“I’m not getting bought by your anti-leopard face shields! Long live leopards!”
I mean, presumably the car not working anymore? I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask them.
Like you might say ohana because you’re in an extremely formal interaction, or because you want to sound poetic or whatever, but you’re not actually saying “honorable flowers” usually.
I think the most common instance would be simply wanting to sound cute.
that same prefix (o) is for better versions of things in Japanese.
Puts on nerd glasses well ackshually it’s used to elevate the status of something, such as with people, objects or other entities of social or religious significance (for example other people’s family members in a polite situation). It’s more honored than better.
As if nature won’t just fucking figure it out.
Nature will figure it out, but it won’t necessarily figure it out in a way that’s good for us (or whatever we want to prevent from going extinct).
Like I have aforementioned, appealing to people’s fears and prejudices isn’t something new or special.
It’s not, but establishment politicians on the right stuck to certain limits to keep their image as respectable moderates. Trump doesn’t give a shit about that, so he could say things like “they’re sending us rapists and drug dealers” and promise nonsense like a Muslim ban. The idea nothing new, but he’s a clear escalation on that feont.
MY point and my question to American voters is why they feel that putting a man in a position that he is completely not educated or competent in would be beneficial for anyone?
And my answer is that the people who are educated and competent have done fuckall to make things better, so people who want change now have decisively shifted towards Trump.
We already saw this type of behavior with Hitler. Appealing to people’s fears and prejudices.
Exactly. Hitler appealed to people’s fears and prejudices, yes, but he also appealed to their economic uncertainties.
even though he basically flat out lied to his supporters faces, they still support him. Why?
Because he’s hurting the people they hate, just like Hitler did. It’s the classic fascist playbook; appewl to people’s prejudice and economic uncertainty, then keep playing up the former to distract from the latter.
So you are telling me that Donald Trump is a credible attempt to take a sledgehammer to the status quo because he is politically retarded and the left doesn’t have someone who is politically retarded so that increases the right-wing pull?
The political retardation isn’t necessarily viewed as a bad thing, but that’s not the point. Trump is actively, uncompromisingly picking a fight with “them”. Draining the swamp, taking on the “deep state,” “telling it like it is,” et cetera, these things signal change to Trump voters; Trump gives his base the impression of someone who acknowledges that things are bad, promises to fix them and is willing to pick fights with people they despise to make good on that promise. Due to the American Left’s parasocial relationship with neoliberals, all major leftwing figures in America hilariously fail number three. Bernie’s fight oligarchy rallies that were apparently so significant they kept making national news? To Trump that’s just Tuesday. Because apparently that needed repeating: Yes trump is retarded, but that’s not the point.
Trying to justify their bajillion-dollar AI investment I see.
Because the clowns running the show weren’t willing to even entertain the thought of fixing the deeply broken status quo. When Trump, a political outsider, came and promised to take a sledgehammer to the system he was welcomed with open arms by many of the people who were most hurt by it. Of course Trump is, if anything, an escalation of the worst excesses of the system, but he was still a perfectly positioned straw to people who had nothing to hope for from the status quo. There’s simply no equivalent sledgehammer coming from the left, so even people who would be predisposed to progressive politics flock to the only credible attempt to take down the system. What’s going to replace it? They don’t fucking care; nobody is out there selling the communist utopia so they’re flocking to the all-white ethnostate.
PS: To anyone who feels the need to say “but Trump is bad!!!”, yes but that’s not the point.
Fight Oligarchy tour, The Limits to Growth (haven’t actually read it), quicksort, La Marseilles and Borzoi (is it worth it?).
Okay I don’t like talking like this, but what part of “to a much lesser extent” do you not understand?
Which is why I said “to a much lesser extent.” Mass shootings are on the rise in multiple European countries, as are homicides and hate crimes. I mean hell, France is looking to restrict knives over this stuff. Having a non-broken society contributes a lot more than what murder weapons are available, and now that European societies are generally fraying at the seams murder rates are unsurprisingly rising.
I mean we’re seeing this in Europe with mass shootins and such, though to a much lesser extent than America.
“Vote blue no matter who” was blatant hypocrisy, how fucking surprising.
In that case anime is your best friend. Well, and any other Japanese video content. Even with subtitles it helps your ears get used to the language.
