Cats know their names after a while but often do not care to react to them (or at least not in the way the human wants)

Is that a jug of 漢水 in the background? I can’t read the character above water well enough.

Sometimes, it’s just a plastic bag. Otherwise, it’s usually a clear plastic carton holding 10 that has some paper insert with the seller. This is Japan.

Edit: ah, this time it’s a plastic bag so there’s no really order/arrangement within the package which I think is what you were asking. I normally just take them out from whichever side is closer when in the fridge (summer) though when it’s cooler in the house I try to keep the package balanced in weight since I might be picking it up.

Not exclusive to English, but English definitely has a ton of things that just follow no pattern (even by root language, though if you know that, when it was borrowed in, and what vowel shifts it did/not have, you might have a chance).

This did immediately make me think of “Simone Giertz” from Sweeden whose name’s pronunciation sounded like ‘yecht’ to me.

I have at least one family member who definitely believes that there are foreigners coming over, stealing opportunities, and getting free rides. I nope’d out of the conversation before it could go any further but, unless they suddenly changed, they believe whatever newsmax says.

Player? Easy. Scarf? Easy. Wearing a scarf? That depends on a lot of factors such as which part of the body, how the models were made and rigged, etc.

Granted. All door animations are now forced cutscenes.

Well, not being a very-much-finished space program would be a good start.

I’m a dude in his 40s. If anything, I’ve gotten more empathetic and easily moved over the years. I have cried at movies and over books.

Terminator 2 with only John Conner as a human.

I think the hangup is why is there an “it” that’s doing the raining. My wife had trouble remembering that as well since we would either just say ‘rain’ or ‘rain falls’ in her language

Most languages don’t need a dummy subject to do the raining. Whilst “it’s raining” may seem natural to people who grew up speaking English (or indeed several Germanic or romance la guages) it’s far from universal.

Technically a commodore vic-20 but I remember the c64 better

I got one that uses the same battery system some other tools (lawnmower, strimmer, drill) uses and oh baby it’s nice.

Although insta has been making inroads, it was the default in Japan for a long time for govt info, shop notifications (bars, art galleries, you name it), as well as other customer interaction.

I’ve eaten insects without meat being banned.

Thanks for the info!

Which language(s) have <type>? now? Is that a new Java thing? JS/TS thing? I’ve never seen it.

Edit: formatting

Having lived in Japan for a decade, I feel dirty whenever I don’t use a washlet. Plenty of places in Japan still don’t have them, though. A lot of places still have squat toilets, even, especially the more rural you get. Where I last lived in Tokyo, the park by my house had squat toilets (and a urinal that was basically just kinda out there which was a little surprising but not uncommon at smaller Japanese parks).

That reminds me; I need to buy a portable washlet since I’ll be traveling.

I’m a fan of ISO-8601 which is YYYY-MM-DD. When context is known, dropping the year on something is fine (i.e. if I post a schedule saying ‘summer 2025 schedule’, I don’t need to start every date on it with 2025). Japanese does this as well (and I think Chinese and Korean, but someone is welcome to correct me if I’m wrong there).

If the year and month are already known, just using the day is fine as well (a calendar doesn’t write the full date in every square). Having it in that order makes sense to me.

MM-DD-YYYY is right out, though, so I only agree with the 'muricans on the MM-DD part.
