Meh, we had Steve worship in the past, it's just swapped over to the vastly inferior Matt. And for my entire DJT tenure we were on /a/. The swap to /jp/ happened after I left, as I recall. Celebrity worship is kind of inevitable since human beings love that kind of gossipy drama and 4channers are no exception.

Irrelevant or easily inferred from context. Just think of how you treat unknown English words and it's the same thing. I did start manually looking up words when necessary. When using anki I specifically targeted words with kanji I didn't know, or kanji I failed to read, so that I could look up words easier on my own (radical searching kanji was just too slow for me to consistently bother with). Nowadays when I bother to look up a word I just google it. JDICT is shockingly lacking in the broad scheme of things.

Come on, anon, he's going to think I'm you. And I was going to not reply at all because he just wants attention. Never forget that giving shitposters a (you) is a victory for them, friend.

Sage Steve sez,
"If it took you 2 years to read something, it's because you weren't reading it much at all. Dedicate more time to reading and you'll see your speed increase tenfold, simply because there's nothing slower than not reading."

As someone with 100 years of reading experience and 0 of isolated kanji study, I can tell you that it won't be too long before you distinguish them naturally even if you don't do isolated kanji study. Those are extremely common words, after all.
