third for japping

tfw no president gf

do anime cards at animecards.site

reminder that マット is the 一番強い外人 and the reason people in this topic obsessively hate him is out of jealousy.

dude's got fucking great taste is sweaters, too.

pro tip u cant

Can someone translate these lyrics please?
It's a good song. https://youtu.be/vV5pGROOfoQ

特別な手紙　どこかに置いて行こう
旅立ちはいつだって　勇気がいるけど
ためらわないで

どこまでだって歩いてく
広げた地図は　空に描き出してく

吹き抜ける風を　追いかけて走る
誰よりも先に　ここで待ってる

心配しないで　涙の跡ならもう乾いてる

少しすまして　背伸びして
大人のふり　本当は　信じていたい

不安な横顔　笑い飛ばしたら
心の扉を開けて
はみだした気持ち
せいいっぱいなの
受け止める君の強さ
遠回りだと思うけど　見つめて

吹き抜ける風を　追いかけて走る
誰よりも先に　ここで
流れ出す景色　この胸に響く
限りない夢の全て
いつまでも続いてくストーリー　このまま

leave behind somewhere

Actually been studying a good amount the last few days, and been on the upswing the last few months in general.
I'm gonna make it
LET'S GOOOO

>>22066415
got u covered dude no worries

Let's put a special letter somewhere
I always have the courage to leave
Don't hesitate

I'll walk all the way
Draw the expanded map in the sky

Run following the wind that blows through
Waiting here before anyone else

Do n’t worry, if it ’s a tear, it ’s already dry.

Wait a moment and stretch out
Pretending to be an adult I really want to believe

Anxious side profile
Open your heart door
Feelings
It ’s full
Your strength to catch
I think it ’s a detour, but stare

Run following the wind that blows through
Before anyone else here
The scenery flowing out echoes this chest
All of endless dreams
A story that will last forever

damn jamal ruined this epic 'we moment'

i guess u guys forgot this isnt the thread to ask for translations

>>22066403
don't answer to namefag posts wtf are you doing.

how long does it take to get good enough to where you automatically filter out all the stuff you don't know so you trick yourself into thinking you understand 95% of SoL anime?

>>22066366
wow what a cutie, i want to hold her hand instead of making jav cards

>>22066496
idk let me check my spreadsheet detailing all my known morphs

>>22066496
That's not about getting good and more about learning to read the context, you can dekinai your way through most anime

>>22066485
isnt a group effort from djt punishment enough for asking for a translation
instead u just help him use google thats exactly what he wanted

Anybody got a link to that video of Matt roasting George? I can't find it

>>22066593

How long a day should I be studying, and at what intensity, assuming I want to be functionally literate but not necessarily high-tier within like 2 years

>>22066660
6 hours a day at maximum intensity

Ajatt tells you to watch stuff and don't care if you don't understand, which trains your brain to ignore everything you don't know. This may lead to undesired results in the long run.

i mean its not that far off cuz all in moderation : )
u should know ur gonna miss shit and not look up everything

I took a two week vacation to Japan and now my vocab and kanji decks have 1000+ reviews that have built up. What should I do? For some reason restoring a backup doesn't change the reviews back to what they were before I left.

>>22065301
what does this mean?????? 20 episodes a day????

kill all uppercasers

>>22066641
It was a series he started but only did two videos in and he just roasts you tubers. It's probably his best video but I haven't seen it in a while.

>>22066697
do you not know how anki works bro

do sentence cards

what anime should i watch now that ive caught up with demon slayer. i feel like anything i watch now will just be disappointing in its poor quality.

>>22066709
No?

>>22066699
maybe

>>22066719
tf2 bro? u have to watch kyoto animation shows lol im telling u man

>>22066725
this

>>22066725
im not that guy im just ripping off his posting style a bit cause i find it entertaining. he doesn't even like demon slayer whereas i thought it was really good

>>22066720
the review time is based on the actual date so restoring a backup or w/e isn't going to change the dates on your cards. just do your reps or delete anki. 1000 reps is easy

alright maybe ill watch haruhi since ive never seen it and ive heard the name so many times

imagine watching haruhi in 2019

make sure to watch every episode

Season two really takes the show to new extents. You're in for a treat and a bit of built in reps.

>>22066734
I'm not worried about the reps, I'm worried that anything that I get wrong is going to be reset which basically means I'm resetting the deck anyway. I'm more worried about this for the kanji deck which is going to be a nightmare.

you could just change your "new interval %" in the deck lapses tab to something like 50% then it won't reset your failed cards back to 1 day

is there any way to put a play button on your cards so that audio from a particular field will only play when the button is clicked, rather than being played automatically every time on the card being flipped?

i do the readings for 'multiple words' in the hours i spend reading while you look at the same worn out sentences you already know kankernoob

sentence cards are only good if you don't consume Japanese media at all.

>>22066888
it's more reading faggot

>>22066897
reading random out of context sentences you've already read a million times isnt reading dude

>>22066897
do u also think struggling through a nipponese dictionary u cant read is more efficient cuz its more nihongo emersion

>>22066899
wtf do you think the point of srs is i dont read anything often that i dont actually need to see

>>22066879
Agreed. If you read every day sentence cards are pointless. Read more and just rep words so you CAN read more. Then watch raws till fluent.

>>22066901
doesnt matter you should try not to use a dictionary very often either way

also uh oh an uppercaser just agreed with you i guess that means i win again

>>22066906
>wtf do you think the point of srs is i dont read anything often that i dont actually need to see
you've just proved why vocab cards are better. your cards have multiple words on them, and it's likely only one of them you actually need to see to remember it at that moment. so basically you're just increasing the amount of time it takes to do anki for no reason because you have to read the sentences to get to the part that's actually worth repping (ie the individual word you want to remember).

>>22066906
prob to practice more than 3 words a minute lmfao u know they used to call em flash cards do u know why
>>22066911
>also uh oh an uppercaser just agreed with you
imagine caring about their opinions

>>22066917
wrong again you're just looking at things very black vs white

it's not as simple as knowing a word vs not knowing a word

a sentence card is made in the first place because there is one word on it i have never seen before but that doesnt mean there arent other words on the card that i only know to like 75% accuracy. if i have a word on multiple cards i start to understand the nuances better not just through reading every day but also much needed forced repetition

do sentence cards like matt says

>>22066934
u know matt is an uppercaser right

>>22066934
>if i have a word on multiple cards i start to understand the nuances better not just through reading every day but also much needed forced repetition
lol you're floundering bro. there's literally nothing different between this idea and just reading a lot. your 'repetition' is the exact same as the repetition you get from reading (ie you see all the words you know constantly), except you have the pointless time waste of having to read a whole sentence to rep the word. the point of using anki is to get some basic familiarity with a word so you dont have to use a dictionary next time you see it and you can start to get more familiar with it just by reading.

but the forced repeition of sentences is mostly good for outputting so if you dont care about outputting the words you see then i can see why you wouldnt want to do sentence cards

>>22066940
do u know japanese

>>22066939
didnt read you already got wreck't

i can tell you havent started outputting yet

vocab cards are just anime cards without the fun

>>22066958
theres nothing fun about anime cards. they're just treated like vocab cards after the first time you see it so 90% of the time its no different

>>22066870
>>22066876
am i just retarded or is there no way to make this add-on do what i said?

i know i can prevent audio clips from playing automatically in anki's settings, then create a situation where the audio only plays when i click one of these buttons, but that's not what i'm trying to accomplish. i want the audio from field 1 to play automatically when i flip the card but not the audio in field 2 (i want the audio in field 2 to play only when i click the button).

>>22066960
this

>>22066960
lets see you say this to qm face

>>22066965
im in discord and ive chatted shit about his cards many many times

yo MARY
theres nothing fun about anime cards
ur just fuckin whack

>>22066961
ok well i didn't get that exact meaning from what you said so maybe it's impossible after all

>>22066960
cant you do the same with sentence cards then like just bold the word

>>22066960
do my version of anime cards where instead of doing all kinds of busy work making the card u just run thru the process entirely in ur head and move on

>>22066979
kotoba hakkenshta
yoooooosh

>>22066979
i realised that it's actually jamal's almost-genius IQ that is biasing him towards thinking that this is possible. he simply can just memorise words upon hearing it a couple times

what if karbin made it far enough in his nihongo career to start sayin
yooooooosh

>>22066987
i dont memorize

im just not afraid to enjoy it while its here and let it go and if it comes back someday it was meant to be

>>22066991
you wouldn't be able to understand japanese if your brain didn't remember words/their meanings, no matter how hard you try to make it into some spiritual process that 'just happens, man'. whether you like it not your genius level IQ has allowed you to not have to worry about the process

>>22066998
it works like this for everyone
you consume content and some words stick and some don't
it has nothing to do with jamal's iq, it's not like he's going to immediately remember every word he ever comes across

>>22066998
im not trying to make it spiritual ur brain very much does create the connections it needs to allow recollection its just i dont think u have to consciously force it on shit that is out of context

its the context that allows ur brain to do these things and eventually u gain enough grasp with the language in general to deal with new things and use what u know in doing so

if ur talking about remembering how to read kanji then yah if u wanna be super good at that u gotta i guess do gay memory shit cuz context only gets u so far and thats a very real part of it

depends on how much u care

>>22067014
i just use anki and the words stick like that though

>>22066998
do u need a genius level iq to know english too

think of it like this u card tards are filling in pixels in all random places of a image where som1 thats learning japanese starts in the middle with a few pixels and fills in more pixels connected to the pixels they already have filled in until the image starts to take shape

>>22067023
In a perfect world maybe, but in this world you supplement to get those gains.

basically all the card tards have more pixels filled in all over the place but u cant tell what the image is but the guy learning japanese has filled in less pixels but the image is able to be discerned

Just as it's possible to become unable to understand spoken language if one does not do listening practice, I believe it's possible for a person to not understand body language if one reads/listens too much without ever seeing a person's face or body.

>>22067054
i dont really disagree w/ although id say the total amount of time is probably however much time you have with nothing better to do but tap cards on your phone (ie when on the shitter). someone with constipation may be allowed 30 mins of anki

350 jcat score incoming

post the matt clip acting perplexed at the 1 jcat question about the seasons as he somehow picks the right answer anyway

is there a clip of him sayin he thinks he got 100% cuz hes pretty sure he didnt miss anything

if you can criticize matt like that, it must be because you find jcat questions to be hella easy, and should therefore have no problem getting a 360 or more

btw fuck the jlpt and fuck jlpters

>>22067360
its just rng on what questions u get though matt said himself >>22067349

i mean i already got a perfect 400 what else do u want

>>22066938
pretty smart of him to be one as someone who needs to market his shit to uppercasers and as a result he doesnt have to work a regular job

idk makin 20k a year isnt really real job territory thats like side hustle shit

>>22067374
the only reason that he doesn't have to work a regular job is that garry and barry still put up with his shit

but he's like a buddhist monk he doesnt need anything except food and shelter

>>22066349
Thoughts on this card format?
(there is audio for the sentence taken from the audiobook on the back, btw)

Rationale for no kanji on the front:
1) Kanji provide clues as to the meanings of words. This lets you cheat when trying to understand the word/sentence (they also let you cheat in other ways, e.g. via their function as a sentence segmenter as described below).
2) Since there are no clear boundaries between words, it becomes more difficult to visually break down the sentence, forcing you to actually consciously read it in order to make sense of it. This will hopefully act to counter a commonly mentioned problem with sentence cards which is that, after a time, one glance at the sentence is all it takes for you to remember the word you're being tested on. If you can't visually break down the sentence at a glance (because there are no kanji), you have to actually read it.

The downside to this is that obviously you end up not actually being tested on kanji reading ability. To get around that, I was thinking of having a second set of cards in the deck which would be like QM's anime cards (my cards will contain all the necessary data on them to become anime cards anyway so I may as well make use of said data), but I would only test on the reading for these cards and probably just have vocab audio rather than sentence audio on the back.

>>22067385
both of those are quite expensive on their own

I was just looking through the Discord a few days ago out of curiosity and I found a link to some audiobooks posted there. I have a feeling it was a Google Docs link, but it might've just been a Mega link. I can't really remember.

I didn't save the link itself, but it shouldn't be too hard to find if you have a look.

>>22067387
i've never thought about doing that
i almost feel like kanji readability would sort iself out automatically through context if you know the words in kana

>>22067387
>The downside to this is that obviously you end up not actually being tested on kanji reading ability.
It just occurred to me that you could argue (and I have indeed seen it argued) that regular sentence cards don't test kanji reading ability either since you can use your memory of the sentence to cheat on reading the words. It might really be completely pointless to have kanji on the fronts of sentence cards, and even outright detrimental due to the reasons I mentioned before.

Does anyone here do sentence cards? How often do you find that you learn a word in Anki and then fail to recognise it in the wild because you couldn't read the kanji?

just tryin to imagine like a russian language learning community where people do shit like autistically compile stats on read characters and idolize guys who rip up dostoevsky books to wallpaper their rooms

>>22067443
imagine actually paying to watch unlisted videos of some dekinai cultists instead of listening to japanese.

u can watch them all for free ?

I think I can forgive you if you pirated them even though I don't see why. Just go watch some anime instead.

pause the thread im about to start an ero scene

>>22065904
just take your time facing your fears man

>>22067560
because matt is the greatest learner of the hardest language ever and my japanese improves just by listening to him speak in english? moron.

>>22067527
in general, nothing beats sentence cards. but if you find yourself forgetting some readings, make a second card. it doesn't happen very often though.

doesnt happen

>>22067634
we all know who won tho

>>22067658
there is several discords and I checked them all but I can't find a link to audio books

>>22067634
Yeah, that's seriously not cool. Both downright misleading and trying to snatch the credit for someone else's success.

>>22067659
wheres the djt matrix

>>22067602
haven’t we all? just not on video

matrix huh maybe its time to make my patreon discord on that

>>22067575
uuuhhhh animecards.site says sentence cards are bad though

>>22067668
Go into the #feedback channel and look for a post by a guy called Yuki made on 2019/09/05. There should be 2 Google Docs links - you want the first one.

I won't post the link here in case he doesn't want it being shared outside of the Discord. You should be able to find it with the info I've given you above.

I don't have the patience to read a grammar guide; am I going to make it?

>>22067740
Just look through the grammar cheatsheet and start reading.

>>22067759
they don't have the patience for it retard

>>22067681
we're in the process of getting enough people. I or you can create the group right now but it would have 3.5 members.

>>22067707
keep in mind that the site is made by a namefag. i wouldn't trust such a person.

>>22067740
if u dont have the patience to read a grammar guide cuz ur too busy havin fun then yes i think u will make it

>>22067708
someone else post it

i think what cripples a lot of people’s learning process is thinking of japanese as a school subject with tests you have to pass and shit
every time you forget something you get all mad because you wanted a 100 on your made up test
you don’t even realize you’re adding unnecessary stress and unpleasantness to the process

*forget something or see something you don’t know

>>22067823
I rage when this happens. Then I create a bunch of flashcards with the word and all the words that share the same kanji.

>>22067289
ty dude

>>22067740
have you tried watching one instead?

>>22067818
nah its just that japanese is really hard and takes years to be good and most people dont last that long

>>22067740
don't read the grammar guide, just skim it
the only thing you should be reading is japanese

>>22067859
Just make sentence cards

>>22067634
Huh never caught that but idk if he's trying to be nefarious here man he probably just wants to keep the numbering consistent but he should probably separate the AJATT interviews from the MIA interviews anyway. nick, pat, ben, and brit all did ajatt.

Why are uppercase posters so much more intelligent than lowercase posters?

>>22067865
still takes years

>>22067818
I don't think anybody here does this?

>>22067865
i forgot to do that thing vlad recommended where i mine a bunch of grammar guide sentences. i usually do audio cards but i'd make exceptions for grammar.

if only i had the foresight of learning japanese early like when i was 12 yo i'd be actually glad to have done at least something right in my life

>>22067859
it feels a lot harder when you add unnecessary stress. what i’m getting at is that a lot of people quit because they made the process more painful for themselves than necessary due to their fucked mindset

if you'd learned japanese when u were 12 it probably would have led to you just jerking it to obscure hentai and posting in degenerate online communities all thru your adolescence and growing up a complete loser ah wait fuck

>>22067961
>ah wait fuck
yea why would you even hit the submit button after realizing this

>>22067905
i don’t mean literally writing out grades for yourselves and marking red x’s with a pen when you get something wrong. your attitudes towards the learning process show through your posts. the obsession with anki stats is one indicator

>>22067974
i only care about my anki stats because retention relates to how many cards i have to repeat, which takes up time. ofc im gonna be happy i have more time to read if i get 90%+

After studying for three years as a child day and night I had completed the N1 by the time I was sixteen. When I was eighteen I got my first translation job at a small company and moved to Japan where I met my first wife; although we married we never had children. Living in a small apartment complex in Tokyo, young and full of joy, we lived, laughed, and loved.

>>22068012
>tokyo
i feel sorry for your loss

>>22067961
imagine how much better ur life would be if u had at least learned japanese while doin this

why is tokyo so shit, and where should i go instead?

>>22068031
its population is bigger than a lot of countries, heck it's more than 3 times bigger than the population of my ethnicity

>>22068031
something more rural would be perfect but not so far away from the city so the language doesn't completely deform into a different one (like in that video where those two very old BBAs are talking to each in a very not japanese sounding dialect)

im definitely the only person in this thread who has lived in tokyo so my opinion is the only one that counts and tokyo is great

>>22068031
stay in your home town
nihonjin don't really feel that comfortable with gaijin's presence.

>>22068051
nah i'm just going to kms anyway, so don't worry about me ruining japan

>>22068031
smaller cities anywhere else in japan

i wish i lived in a place where i would at least feel comfortable raising my children

>>22068064
what would you do if three of these crawled on your lap and started rubbing up against you for warmth

>>22068123
politely get up and go elsewhere.

>>22068145
why?

>>22068123
look like this

>>22068123
probably just shoot myself in the head right there.

You know I really feel like I am in the period of my life where my sexual energy is at its absolute peak and I could fuck for hours and no matter how great that is it is all going to waste and will become very scary when I start feeling my stamina and energy decrease as I get a bit older, is the time that happens what you call mid life crisis

>>22068228
you've never fucked though

>>22068202
why?

not interested in sex

lmao i recommend the haruhi anime, the amount of words per episode must be crazy

>>22068256
you should castrate yourself and join a choir

new game has a lot of words per episode

>>22068256
i was about to say based but then i read the name

>>22068228
nah that happens way before ur midlife crisis lmfao

>>22068258
im on episode 8 now its definitely a lot more than average

what's the name of that song that starts with
>流れる季節真ん中で

>>22068323
no idea

so many words that are kouka

>>22068262
put them in anki

さあ、わらわお膣内で存分に甘えるのじゃ
安心して身お委ねるがよい

>>22068323
just google it ?

>>22068427
no?

alrighty I can read hiragana and katakana. what do I do now?

>>22068486
aight

>>22068496

>>22068522
self-study

>>22068507
alright, after I jerk off to some anal hentai I'll go through that site, thanks!

>>22068538

mine this 握力計

>>22068542
you're supposed to mine things you don't know.

>>22068540

>>22068548
mine these, は & が

how do you explain to your family you're learning japanese for porn slideshows

i feel bad for circumcised niggas

>>22068626
hey, the ma belives I'm learning because I watch chinese cartoons from time to time, not because of CG porn and old vusal novels

>>22068662
your ま is a ほ

>>22068672
魔法

>>22068626
just say ur learning nihongo for superior japanese media
u dont have to tell them superior japanese media has 3 nakadashi cg per heroine

>>22068642
nah don't worry about it. it's not a good thing but most of us don't know what it's like to have our foreskin so it's not important to us.

>>22068750
yeah until a girl says oh somethings missing

>>22068811
that doesn't happen in the US

>>22068817
yeah ur more likely to get complaints about it still bein there lol

your penis is intact eww gross

>>22068841
once I was gonna fugg this girl and she didn't know what circumcision was so she freaked out cause she thought I had a mutant dick

wait why is his name quizmaster again?

women are imbeciles

if there's something positive in my life, it's that at least the jews didn't steal my foreskin

>>22068888

>>22068885
Freud did say that
Not in Japanese though

>>22068888
i actually found and recovered mine. it was in the possession of a 92 year old rabbi who had quite a few foreskins in his vegetable cellar. anyway it's now back in my possession though not attached to me.

what's it like to make the leap from ez vns to ez lns?

>>22067503
i see gto and dbz so it makes sense

dbz is too boring and gto is too hard to understand lol

>>22068908
nice have u shown it to anybody

>>22068964
no i keep it in my nightstand in a wedding ring box i bought for it

>>22068915
It's an extremely easy transition, the only difference being that lns have practically no illustrations in comparison to vns.

>>22068982
pissed me off when i found out lns only have 3 illustrations per book

>>22068969
what a fuckin proposal imagine sliding it on someones finger

>>22069002
ya im saving it for someone special

>>22068997
There's a reason why visual novels are called VISUAL novels.

remember

im tired n have to wake up early tomorrow so i prob shouldn't get extremely into any dense philosophical texts or anything rn but my ero game is calling to me

>>22068915
vns are much more enjoyable imo
lns have so much gd buildup at the start andd don't have any music, va, or cute pics for you to look at while you plod through the SOL stuff to get to the plot

>>22069059
thanks

what is the equivalent of word / acronym "ost" in japanese

>>22069081
santora

i wanna play this game so fuckin bad but i can't get a pirate copy to work it just keeps saying insert original disc, would a physical copy work just fine or am i just fucked

>>22069180
need a better disc mounting tool or a crack

why is reading so much easier than listening. i'm about to give up on listening entirely

>>22069246
that you tf2 guy

>>22069246
damn japs talk too fast

so shuld I read the grammar guide first, or study sum kanji

>>22069268
there is nothing more fun in this world than fucking kanji

>>22069268
Learn everything on this cheat sheet. Then go look for something to read.
it's gonna be painful regardless of when you start or how much you think you already know, so why not start as quickly as possible so that you don't feel like you're suffering that much later on?

>>22067503
Of course he didn't. Manga is not reading.

lmfao

>>22069429
this chart is confusing

>>22069429
worst thing i've seen

>>22069429
ull remember that shit a lot faster if u just read

>>22069429
i'm retarded and i don't understand how i'm supposed to learn anything on this sheet

today i read 50k characters of compelling dialogue here are some quotes
>「ぁ、はぁ……、っ、はぁ、ぁ、……、っ、はぁ、ぁっ、　ぅぅ、はぁ、っ、ふぅ、はぁ、ぁ、ぁ……っ」
>「っ、っ、っ、ちゅぅぅっ、ちゅぱっ、ん、ちゅるっ、　んんん、じゅる、ちゅ、んちゅ、っ、んぁ、んっ、　ちゅぅっ、ちゅっ、ちゅるるっ、じゅるっ、ん、ちゅるっ」
>「……っ！　んんっ！　んぐっ、んっ、んっ、んんん！　じゅる、っ、……っ、っ！　ん、んっ！」
this language is so fuckin ez

>>22069517
ペーペー

>>22069527

how to get a (you) in the djt thread:

step 1.

>>22069560
(yooooooooooooooooou)

i'm the most unknown user who posts the most here.

Yomichan's anki integration hasn't been working.
Anyone else?
What usually fixes it, the add card button isn't there anymore

wtf is wrong with this language?

>>22069582
did u try unplugging it and plugging it back in

>>22069579
can we call you jarvis?

>>22069590
I don't see the problem they're all backwards capital Js with a fork or two, some boxes, and a hat on top.

>>22069591
*unplugs my dick n plugs it back in* do u love me yet

>>22069601
some look a lot more turtle-y than others

>>22069591
I tried opening and reopening chrome and anki yes.

>>22069611
no not that, the other one

>>22069590
that's chinese

>>22069621
same shit, at least when it comes to characters.

>>22069639

>>22069639

>>22069659

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMh7UYFumkU

anyone else learning japanese because of these two dudes?

>>22069681
i'm learning because some guy on /a/ told me i couldn't learn "moonrunes" to read sum good untranslated lns and vns, so i decided to prove him wrong.

>>22069681
no

i want to be mixed race in my next life

>>22069681
unironically yes, those two have had the most influence on me out of anyone by far

this tae kim grammar guide is big and scary and i don't like it!!!!

i figure i have a higher chance of being reincarnated as 2d if i know nihongo

>>22069738
how's that work

>>22069748
its like kind of like a gamer getting isekaid into an mmo world

>>22069759
don't think that's a real thing

>>22069759
it's more like you could be reborn in a world that resembles an anime but not a world that's literally 2d to be clear...

who here does reading only cards

>>22069767
well it's basically like if you were born in the egyptian days and got to witness all of their ancient technology and shit

>>22069767
itd be a shame if it was and u missed out though
>>22069768
why draw the line there

>>22069797
explain how consciousness can be 2d though?

>>22069802
explain how u can be reincarnated in another world first

>>22069807
could happen if your soul finds a new host body

souls can definitely be recycled but i have a feeling that would only happen to bad people whilst djt is full of good souls that will be rewarded with eternal bliss in the afterlife

>>22069802
what do you mean, thats easy
its not our consciousness thats 3d in the first place
its our sense organs that perceive the world in 3d. that perception is just within our consciousness
when you close your eyes for example you're still conscious

can you read this: 私利私欲

>had to look up what a homophone was cause I couldn't remember
>sensei was right
am I gonna make it?

>>22069839
consciousness is the direct result of 3d process but you can argue that a soul isn't 3d i think

>>22069847
Any word you don't hear often enough is a word you might forget

>>22069854
then why do I know what love is

>>22069851
the universe is a projection of a 2d shell anyway

>>22069860
Because you hear/read it even if you don't experience it

>>22069860
the same reason u know what a stegosaurus is
it made a deep impression in u and ull never forget

>>22069844
sirisiyoku

>>22069844
yep しりしろく i got it right that was easy

if its so easy then why did it take u 10 minutes

>>22069913
yomichan takes 1 second so what are u tryin to say

>>22069874
whatever that means

think u kno exactly wat im tryin 2 say

>>22069913
what i dont stay on this screen 24/7

>>22069938
& y is that?

>>22069938
you got somewhere to be??? huh??

>>22069954
sick eroge

Why is futari written like this?

>>22069966
why is hitori written like this 独り

wanted to read for 15 minutes
ended up reading for 90 minutes
not even mad

>>22069983
u did good

reading less than 2 hours on a day im not busy at all is a failure

its all good as long as u lose urself in the music the moment u own it u better never let it go
