Good grief.

We're always making jokes about physicists in our superior math courses, especially their silly notation.

I agree. But only north east asians should rule the world (with exception of koreans, they are lower than pigs) with whites. South asians are on the same level as hispanics. Everybody in the arab/african world needs to go extinct.

Do any of you like browsing the Japanese internet? My Japanese isn't too good but I find it fascinating to just browse different Japanese websites.

Here's one I found about Japanese P2P programs.

kuron-zero.net/tool/

Which touhou would you eat magic mushrooms with?

What sort of manga does /jp/ read (besides doujinshi).

What are some noteworthy Japanese blog or websites in the Japanese web?
Aside from Pixiv, Niconico, 2ch and futaba that is.

Got any good websites for (re)learning calculus? I already know about Khan Academy and Wolfram, but there have to be others, right?

I feel like my math skills have deteriorated severely since I started NEETing it up, I want to fix this before it's too late.

Also, which 2hu would be the best at math?

>has just moved to Japan and started his new life as an English teacher
>He'll live a life of rich experiences.

"Life of rich experiences" and "living in Japan" are incompatible.

It's more like a life of living in a shitty repressed society where most fun things are outlawed and everyone works away their entire life in a job they despise. There is nothing fun about Japan. Living in Japan is hell.

But I'm not good at math.

"Arbeitslose Magierin"?

>A pair of world-renowned quantum scientists say they can prove the existence of the soul.
>American Dr Stuart Hameroff and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose developed a quantum theory of consciousness asserting that our souls are contained inside structures called microtubules which live within our brain cells.

So if we really do have souls then does that mean we actually will go to Gensokyo when we die?

Why do people say that killing yourself will open a portal to Gensokyo?

Doesn't it make more sense that insanity is the road to Gensokyo? If you make yourself crazy enough then you can essentially be like a catatonic schizophrenic. Completely disconnected from reality and immersed in a world that you created inside your mind, which in this case would be Gensokyo.

How much do you love /jp/?

Would you go to the ends of the earth to save /jp/?

I don't understand money.

How can pieces of paper lose or gain values? Who determines this? If it's not in anyone's interest for everyone to have a bad economy then why can't all the country leaders get together and just say the economies are good again and change the numbers so that they're good?

I don't understand. Every country seems to be suffering because of this bad global economy thing, but the value of currency is imaginary. How can something that isn't real make you suffer? Can't you just change the rules or something?

Learning kanji through the RTK or kanjidamage method seems like a poor use of time to me. I would even say that learning words out of the context of a sentence is a poor use of time.

There's no reason that you can't just start with sentences. That's what I did and it worked fine. I would grab a sentence, usually from a VN I was playing, and then I would add a few new cards to anki based on that sentence. For new words I would look them up on jisho so that I could add in little notes in the answer page that would mention the meanings of the kanji that make up the word.

So you will simultaneously be learning vocab and grammar while naturally picking up kanji meanings along the way since your brain will begin to see the connections between the meaning of the kanji character and the meanings of the words it is usually used in.

There's no need to study any of these things individually. It makes more sense to do all three simultaneously by studying sentences instead setting aside a block of time for just drilling kanji or vocab.

Do I have to learn kanji before I can start chiseling through simple visual novels, /jp/?

By my estimation of learning 50 new characters each day it will take about two months just to familiarize myself with most of the kanji characters.

My reps only take about an hour a day though and I have so much extra free time. I want to work on expanding my vocab, but every guide I've found shows that you should finish with kanji before moving onto vocab.

please respond

Why do people care about this stuff?

People get upset and angry when soldiers die in Afghanistan too, but what do they expect when we're unjustly occupying their country? The Taliban had absolutely nothing to do with 911 and they were completely neutral towards to the U.S prior to our occupation of Afghanistan.

The only fighting that still goes on over there is against the Taliban and they're completely innocent people who just want us to get out of their country. How can the news portray our soldiers as victims when they're the real terrorists here?
