Does RTK really work?
Or was it a meme Matt created

>>22971137
whether it works or not depends on what you want to accomplish and chances are for everything you could want to accomplish with rtk there is a better alternative

>>22971147
and this better alternative is?

>>22971155
well what do you want to accomplish doing rtk

>>22971173
read visual novels

>>22971173
draw trees

>>22971188
how will rtk help that

>>22971270
will it not? i thought it would help me identify that 死 is death not caring about what the whole sentence means

>>22971290
uhhhhh heavens use

>>22971323
yes, i feel like i'm drunk or something

>>22971173
answering how do rtk friends read x questions

>>22971270
you will be able to use the kanji as clues to figure out what the words mean which means less time using a dictionary. when you do learn a new word, it will stick faster because you already know the kanji, so less time re-looking up the same word. you also don't have to deal with radical lookup. its not rocket science, rtk is superior in every way

>>22971368
i don't get this image

>>22971371
could you explain how you'd use these clues for something like 矢鱈

>>22971371
for instance,
rembering 憶 is better than
忙 + 心 + 日 + 立 + 音 = 憶

>>22971383
it's a fucking ateji, good job picking the 1% of situations in which radicals are worse than useless

>>22971371
>you will be able to use the kanji as clues to figure out what the words mean which means less time using a dictionary
complete bullshit and you still won't know how to read the words

>>22971387
knowing the parts will help you when it's time to remember the difference between 億1憶噫7穗臆曖檍

>>22971401
or if you already knew actual words those kanji were in then you wouldn't have a problem at all with that

why do ppl like arguing about rtk so much who gives a fuck lol just do w/e the fuck you're doin and stop caring about what other people are doing

>>22971424
rtk is useless then

>>22971383
the arrow next to the fish playing in the snow is pretty random don't you think?

damn last thread got archived with less than 600 posts. why is djt dying?

should i just start mining every new word at this point? ive been going off innocent corpus cause idk how the fuck else to decide and have been mining everything with a frequency over 1000 but i barely manage 2-3 words per episode this way and i only have 6000 words in the bank.

Currently in Sapporo. 2000 hours of reading and anki couldn't prepare me for having a konbini clerk asking me if I want my bento heated up. I've been neglecting listening so badly. I can read all the signs though which is nice.

>>22971948
lol

>>22971863
>ave been mining everything with a frequency over 1000
what

>>22971990
its a frequency list based on 5000 novels or some shit

>>22971664
are you fucking stupid
when it comes to doing actual reading and not just reciting english keywords you have to know vocabulary anyway which enables you to know what kanji are in what words, based on the other kanji in the word and the context of the sentence

>>22971368

How do you learn ACTUAL japanese?

wtf bros why'd you never tell me about how interesting balkan countries' history is?

>>22972205

so im starting to try out manga
is each new line always a different clause?

>>22972337
anime and manga for now and im interested in real books i just cant stomach how retarded lns are as of yet

So I finally got to the stage where I can read and listen and even communicate effectively, but there isn't any place to use it in Australia, did I effectively learn a dead language outside of enjoying Japanese media?

>>22972375
all lns and vns are not made equal many are the same settings and tropes as manga just with more written detail but anyway for now just read more manga then
>>22972371
no

those adult books in libraries are fucking brutal man
every sentence has a place name with an unpredictable reading and they refer to people names you don't know how to read
the only good is the grammar isn't difficult at all if you managed to read through 40 nukiges before

>>22972413
I am, together with Japanese, but I reached fluency in Japanese first because less kanji to memorize and greater exposure via media

>>22972323
ruin it how

i think the biggest problem i have with drawing right now isn't symbol drawing but just desperation at my lack of ability
for example i can sketch very simple objects and look at it and feel like i did an ok job, but if i look at anything even slightly complex i just can't figure out how to draw this shit and kind of fall back to symbol drawing in due to my inability to copy what my eye is seeing on the paper

it takes years and years to get good at drawing so i suggest u just quit now cause you're crying like a bitch after like 20 hours

>>22972536
i mean it's not so different from japanese then isn't it
just like a noob can despair at his inability after a few days of trying to learn jp i am despairing at my inability to draw after a few days, but the key is not giving up and pushing on so 'give up' isn't exactly constructive advise!

>>22972536
agreed. also unless you become delusional and hit a plateau forever, you will never really feel like you "got good" because it's a constant porcess that will never end.

>>22972542
wrong, there is no "end goal" like in japanese where we have a native speaker. everybody is always a noob in drawing,

its cool quizler is of legal adult age and going thru shit a 12 year does lmao

>>22972559
what's the point of this empty platitude, obviously there is better and worse people at drawing and those who can satisfyingly draw what they envision and those who can't, there certainly is a goal or rather a direction to walk towards and aim towards

>>22972567
do you think adults shouldn't try to learn to draw? just wondering

>>22972581
i think whenever the spirit moves u to do something like take up a new hobby u should do it

but i mean lets be real we all went through the drawing phase when we were like 10

>>22972549
>>22972559
the people who draw stuff like this are noobs? don't be stupid there are clearly people who are great and people who suck

>>22972576
it's not "empty", in fact it's the key to get good. you will always be a beginner, and if you ever feel that you did something to a satisfying degree, it's probably a sign that you got stuck.

>>22972599
yah to add to this most of the ppl that u think are good at something most of the time they think they suck or at least arent worthy of peoples praise and adoration and never really understand why ppl started liking their work

>>22972602
thats just called having low self esteem and has nothing to do with how good the art actually is

>>22972597
artists often call themselves noobs even if they draw shit like that so

they're really self critical

>>22972614
"how good the art actually is"

ahahahahahahahahaHAahahaaHAhahaah

aAHAaHAaHAHaAHAAAAAAAHHHhh

good shit

Just do what makes you happy as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone

big ups to that

>>22972614
no, it has more to do with the fact that these artist know just how much more there is to learn. they are aware of the endless ride, even if people who have no idea about drawing say it's good

>Want to DL 红の豚 (Porco Rosso)

probably communication, but it's certainly not to jerk off about how good you think you are in your own head

oh wait is it one of those retards who thinks now that he is learning japanese he needs to download torrents containing no subtitles whatsoever
newsflash: you can turn off soft subtitles lol

>>22972652
its the same with music dude

the more closely involved u are with something the more u find shit wrong with it

the ppl that like things and have no background in the skill are the ones that get to enjoy things not the artists bc as with everything in life ~ignorance is bliss~

>>22972657
that's a private tracker though...
idk I'd even buy the BDs and import them but the world is retarded and japanese blu rays don't work on euro blu ray players

no i'm not.
it's just that i'm from germany and getting fined for torrenting is common, and the chances for getting spied on and tracked are just lower on completely raw versions that less people would want to access.

>>22972679
yes, except your art will always suck in some shape of form. it's probably hard for you to really understand unless you have been involved in art yourself

>>22972692
use a vpn then

>>22972700
idk i remember Tor saying that torrenting using VPN is a big risk so i never thought about it.

>>22972711
i thought everyone in germany torrents through vpns

>>22972711
torrenting using a vpn is safe
it hides your ip address and encrypts your traffic preventing any copyright strikes
you are not supposed to use tor for torrenting

>>22972720
most people probably don't want to pay for VPNs

>>22972699
just sounds like you're one of those people who weirdly glorify neuroticism

>>22972648

>>22972737
>neuroticism
it's ok, I understand that you don't get it. most people don't. there are even many artists who don't get it, and as a result they are stuck forever.

>>22972753
it's literally neuroticism. overthinking and anxiety warps their perceptions of the art they make. that's all it is and you're just romanticizing it.

saw a cute chinese girl today, she was acting autistic as expected from an asian girl

>>22972796
it's not. I don't think you will get it unless you get into art yourself. As a layman I don't think it's possible to really get what I mean.

>>22972875
what's the point of these posts

>>22972822
do you know what neuroticism means? either you don't or you're just hiding behind "you don't get it you're not an artist" to avoid thinking beyond your current beliefs
the idea that successful creatives must be overly critical of their work and completely blind to any improvement they make (aka, neurotic) is an often touted myth
like every human endeavor making art is subject to human emotions like comparison, fear of failure and judgment and just because many artists happen to suffer from all that doesn't mean it's necessary
believe it or not its possible for people to just make art because they like to make art and get better at it because they like to practice making even nicer art
but healthy psyches are rare in every field of human endeavor and right there is the true heart of the issue

fuck you all

>>22972900
I know what that means, but it seems to me that you can't even tell the difference between an artist stuck on a plateu and someone who pushes further and further. the way you phrased yourself shows to me you don't even get what I mean
>the idea that successful creatives must be overly critical of their work and completely blind to any improvement they make (aka, neurotic) is an often touted myth
It's not about being blind to progress, it's realizing that your progress will never lead to an end goal. you should never feel comfortable with what how you draw, because then it becomes routine and you stagnate. it's the realization that you always have something to improve upon, a thing many people seem unwilling to accept
>like every human endeavor making art is subject to human emotions like comparison, fear of failure and judgment and just because many artists happen to suffer from all that doesn't mean it's necessary
that's not what I mean at all. you should not suffer over any of these things. it's not about what others do or think, it's about the art in itself
>believe it or not its possible for people to just make art because they like to make art and get better at it because they like to practice making even nicer art
I agree with the first part, you should make art because you want to and you like it. but the last part is demonstrably false. you would only say that when you have no idea how drawing works in any shape or form. the only way to improve art is to be a beginner all the time, or else you get stuck like I already explained. but most people are way too stuck on the idea to reach the "being good" goal which does not exist. fact is, when you look at your art and think it does not have many areas where you can improve massively, you are stuck already. this is not about making yourself miserable because you never get good, it's about realizing that being good is a lie, and that's not something bad.

>>22973001
>it's realizing that your progress will never lead to an end goal
artists start doing art because they're longing to one day stop doing art? i thought they started because they liked doing it and they keep going because they like doing it.
>the "being good" goal which does not exist
nonsensical assertion. we're not talking about perfect just good. if people sincerely like your art then it is 'good' on some level. if you can't see that even a little then that's a problem with your neuroticism.
>you should never feel comfortable with what how you draw, because then it becomes routine and you stagnate
being able to see that your art is getting better and looks nice is not synonymous with getting comfortable or "stagnating". only people who romanticize or suffer from neuroticism believe this. in reality no one really gives a shit if you spend everyday agonizing over how much your art supposedly sucks if they like what you make and it communicates what the messages they want to receive. everything else is just made up nonsense in the artist's head.
you are literally describing the 典型的なneurotic artist while fervently insisting its not neuroticism
>you should not suffer over any of these things. it's not about what others do or think, it's about the art in itself
ok it really sounds like you are bsing now because a few mnutes ago you were saying all artists think their art is horrible even if others like it. how is sincerely believing that something you spent hundreds of hours working on is horrible and isn't gettng any better, anything other than psychological suffering? that's what peace of mind and happiness sounds like to you?
>it's about realizing that being good is a lie, and that's not something bad.
fake deep nonsense. stop trying to conflate "good" with "perfect" because we're not talking about perfection here just good which covers a wide range.

>>22973175

not that guy
if that's your idea of good then pretty much everything is good on some level or other which makes this definition meaningless

this is honestly really scary about japanese women.
you find one that's cute and she starts talking to you but unless she smiles a lot in one of her pictures you won't know if she has nice teeth and japanese people tend to have horrible looking teeth.

>>22973261
well that's kind of wrong because a lot of japanese people i talk to on hellotalk are learning my language because they want to or already live in germany and a lot of them have already told me they want to meet and i've already met one of them. i guess if you're american or british the chances of meeting are a lot lower since english speakers exist everywhere in the world and you're somewhat disposable. but as a german-chad i get kind of lucky for the most part.

you can find her easily if you look under "serious learners", a chinese flag and cat ears on her profile picture.

>>22973178
>artists start doing art because they're longing to one day stop doing art? i thought they started because they liked doing it and they keep going because they like doing it.
interesting how you show here that you really don't get what I mean. it's not about "stopping" but about stopping to learn. many people think they can reach that point, but that's a lie
nonsensical assertion. we're not talking about perfect just good. if people sincerely like your art then it is 'good' on some level. if you can't see that even a little then that's a problem with your neuroticism.
it's really not. many people like a lot of art that is absolute garbage, does that make it truly good? of course not. because they have no idea what makes good art
> in reality no one really gives a shit if you spend everyday agonizing over how much your art supposedly sucks if they like what you make and it communicates what the messages they want to receive. everything else is just made up nonsense in the artist's head.
you are proving me right here. you only say that because you don't know anything about what makes art good. most people don't get and can't distinguish between good and bad art. that's why you should not be satisfied with the reception you get because it will always be flawed because people don't really get it. except if it's other artists or good critics. but what the common guy says is absolutely meaningless
>ok it really sounds like you are bsing now because a few mnutes ago you were saying all artists think their art is horrible even if others like it. how is sincerely believing that something you spent hundreds of hours working on is horrible and isn't gettng any better, anything other than psychological suffering? that's what peace of mind and happiness sounds like to you?
The fact that you can't imagine that you will always be a beginner and happy at the same time shows how flawed your way of thinking in regards of art is. it's not about saying that what you make is "horrible" or "never realizing that you improved", I never said that. It's about realizing that no matter where you go, there will always be as much new things to learn and things you don't know as in any other stage. No idea why that sound like aboslute misery for you.
>fake deep nonsense. stop trying to conflate "good" with "perfect" because we're not talking about perfection here just good which covers a wide range.
but that's what I mean. you will never reach perfection, but you art will also never be "good enough". that does not mean that there is no good art or that you yourself can't make something that maybe could be labeled "good". What is does mean is that even in your best works, there is still a ton you can improve and it will always be that way. you should never be satisfied with the level you are at right now. the real satisfaction comes from the process of learning and not of the finished work that you can then label with any meaningless word you want.

why did you cross out feet lmfao it's always the feet creepers

>>22973263
See, the problem is that it's my third year roughly. Japanese never feels fun. Never feels like I'm reading or listening to another language.

>>22973286
i guess once you become an adult you just know what interests you and what doesn't interest you and you just watch what you think looks interesting instead of just going by ratings.
i mean especially when it comes to anime going by rating is a bad idea.

don't bother responding anymore he's just some tortured artist dumbass who thinks he's giving some tough love kind of advice but it's worthless.

>>22973273
why are there english translations on some of your texts i don't get it

>>22973297
how are people only able to watch what they know is good? i know better than anyone what's good but that doesn't mean i only deserve to watch good shows.
>rating is a bad idea
no it's a great idea. ratings are awesome.

>>22973303
because he used the translation function for people who can't read japanese

>>22973234
This isn't that hard to translate, just annoying. I guess you're simply unable to do it. Good luck though. I don't see the point of translating to English, but hey, keep wasting your money on Japanese 101.

>>22973287
post the pictures

>>22973303
its the japanese translation

>>22973308
>how are people only able to watch what they know is good?
are you dumb or just pretending to not understand why i said?

>>22973318
replace "good" with "interested in" in my response and it still applies.

>>22973301
I never did genki and I stopped with Anki about a year ago.
Please anon I'm counting on you for helpful advice on how to make Japanese fun!

>>22973228
she's kinda cute

>>22973323
wtf do you even mean it's only gonna be as fun as the things you watch and read if you don't enjoy japanese media just give up

>>22973236
>>22973273
You got any tips for HelloTalk besides being German? Also, that girl is from South Korea, right? That's why she only uses hiragana.

>>22973389
maybe just use it to try and make friends with people like it was intended for. i know that is beyond your realm of possibility, considering your entire skull is just made of cum now.

>>22973244
snaggletooth is cute you have shit taste

>>22973389
there are just some people on there who only type in hiragana. believe it or not but that type of japanese person exists.
i used to talk to a girl who'd only use hiragana which would always trip me up, and i told her that too, but she still almost never used kanji except on rare occasions.
maybe she started doing that out of consideration because 99% of japanese learners don't learn kanji.
>You got any tips for HelloTalk besides being German
-look like a westerner (don't be a dark haired, brown eyed person)
-have a 高い鼻
-be at least a 6/10 by western standards
i actually hate my nose because i think it's too big but apparently asian girls like this because multiple times i've heard that they prefer "tall noses" as they call it.

>>22973389
Have a face that is at least 8/10

>>22973416
>>22973389
actually i really want a male japanese friend whom i can just talk with about ecchi, anime, games, tits and how hot women are but it seems like 90% of japanese users are women and guys don't seem to talk to guys...

>>22973379
But I don't want to face the idea that maybe I wasted all this time learning Japanese.

>>22973416
thanks. although just to be clear, the girl you were talking to in your screenshots is korean, right? that's why she has the south korean flag under her photo.

it's interesting you bring up the nose part. i remember being in a club in tokyo with some people and i said i was heading out because it was too boring. some japanese guy who was with us stopped me and said, "don't go! it would be a waste!" and i said, "why? what are you talking about?" he responded "because you have such a big nose! you could easily get a girl"

my nose is pretty thin actually but i think he was referring to the fact that it is "tall" like you are saying.

(btw, i still left the club even after that guy said that cause fuck him)

is this one of you guys?

if so, you're getting cucked

>>22973446
>because you have such a big nose! you could easily get a girl
haha nice

>>22973446
lmfao

>>22973446
>thanks. although just to be clear, the girl you were talking to in your screenshots is korean, right? that's why she has the south korean flag under her photo.
that's not my screenshot but yes she's korean or living in korea. she likely has a premium account which allows her to have multiple languages set as her output languages and it's not uncommon for koreans to also be somewhat proficient in japanese.
>>22973452
that person can't get cucked because no girl wants to talk to a mutt with an anime profile picture to begin with
okay i might be a little harsh here but it feels like who like foreigners typically like the ones who are blonde with blue eyes

thankfully my phone is banned from hellotalk so i won't get the idea to waste any time on that shit lol

>>22973483
it is indeed a waste of time.
i actually signed up for it when i started thinking it would be a good idea but it's honestly quite fucking useless. but by the time i realized that i had already made some "friends" so now i can't leave anymore
the only good thing about it is that you get some attention and self confidence from japanese girls calling you handsome

>>22973452
Si onions yo ¿Por que lo dices?

>>22973273

>>22973483
what did you do

>>22973494
>si onions yo
haha

>>22973496
LOL she said Golddigger

>>22973496
is your name nigger lol

>>22973496
How do you get korean girls? Only japanese ones talk to me :(

>>22973496
too hasty

don't mess up like i did brahs

what the fuck dude lmao

>>22973545
i thought you were pretty suave until here where you came off like a perverted ojisan.

>>22973545

I knew it was gonna be bad. I was getting so pissed throughout the hour it took me to actually finish my reviews. Even punched my head a few times but it didn't hurt.

>>22973581
what is the fucking problem it is not that bad dude

>>22973581
>not strangling yourself and rolling on the floor

/wrist

>>22973585
I've been doing this daily every morning for over a year and I'm so fucking sick of failing such easy and common words but I'm not gonna drop it because I know it's helpful for retaining vocabulary.

wait, i just saw some JAV where the girl ate a lot and then puked it in a pan and made okonomiyaki out of it and everyone seemed to enjoy it. is that really how okonomiyaki is made? no wonder people think osakan's are a strange lot haha

>>22973580
just a tip: get them on LINE before you go full perverted mode. otherwise, you're gonna get banned from hellotalk real fast.

>>22973607

>>22973607
that's how i operate hehe
although the only times i went pervert mode were when the girls went pervert mode first and one of them was 35 and the other 32.

tfw black hair brown eyes so no nips will like me

logh would be like the easiest great anime to adapt to live action so why isn't there a tv show adaptation.

whats the best/most entertaining audio to listen to for your daily reps?

>>22973816
not really
can you imagine a japanese person playing reinhart
impossible

takeshi as reinhart

>>22973835
so long as the actor is a jomon chad and not a yayoi virgin it could work

>>22973835
i can't imagine a japanese person playing any role in anything except beta cuck because they all suck dick but that's beside the point.

>>22973822
its really dependant on what you can rewatch and actually still enjoy. the ceiling is your enjoyment after all. ive been watch dorohedoro like once a day, im bout to watch this episode again the (my 4th time), its always natural sounding and some of the best audio. i hope you can find your dorohedoro and rewatch it and study it

reinhart is the arian ideal
young, blonde, brave, blue-eyed, tall, genius male with unquenchable ambition, the ability to be a demon to further his gorls but also show heart to his people really what a character and no japanese person could play him

how to tell when im ready to use hellotalk

>>22973854
>can only imagine betas sucking dick
おぞい

>>22973863
he was also an untermensch who died at 25 from shit genes

gonna lol when quizlers whole reason for going thru his drawing phase is so he could draw reinhard yaoi ftw

>>22973882
it wasn't his shit genes he was a man fueled solely by his ambition and relationship with other people and when he ended up emperor of the known universe with all of his important friends and rivals dead there was nothing keeping him in this world and having accomplished his mission he went on to wreak havoc in valhalla

>>22973898

>>22973621
if only you guys could read this

>>22973915
i did it's cringe sdfu

>>22973908
spoiler?

The more words I learn the harder is to keep everything in memory. I don't feel like I can even learn anything anymore and should review words for next few weeks first. And I'm not even that far. How do you guys do it?

>>22973959
by having a massive brain

>>22973959
you need more input. that should fix it

>>22973915
if only i could read how a dude literally begged for pussy pics and then got rejected and probably never messaged back

really excited for my next japanese milestone. the big 50.

jamal whats your fatherly advice/opinion on asking for henna pictures from regular girls online

>>22973946
>>22973969
you plebs dont understand

>一緒に寝よ

>>22973959
ive been saying this, you forget 90% of what you learn within a few a weeks but a little bit falls down onto permanent memories, its like 2% is permanent, but over time the permanent stuff allows more of the other stuff to stick to it, but like the other guy said lots and lots of input over like 3 years and youll be a god or about as good as a japanese 5 year old

>>22973982
yea i understood she wanted you to sdfu so she said that lol

>>22973987
yeah i feel like that too lmao

>(Figure 1) shows that within one hour, people will have forgotten an average of 50 percent of the information you presented. Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 percent of new information, and within a week, forgetting claims an average of 90 percent of it.

>>22973959
i read and watch japanese every day

>>22973982
i think you've never even talked to a girl in english and can't tell when you're being told to fuck off

how do people talk to a complete stranger in a different language which they are still a lame noob and what's worst with a woman

>>22973984
in 5 years you won't be able to understand this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUFEtmofNvM

>>22973978
girls love posting their henna pictures yeah just ask around the time state fair is going on

>>22973978
idk what a henna picture is but either way thats just not my world so i cant help u there

>>22974044
so she messaged you back then?

daniel from hiding in my room learned japanese by talking with his long distance japanese gf in japanese for 5 hours a day over skype. she ended up cucking him though.

>>22974066
doesn't matter were talking about a language you can't learn much from normal convos with one person.

>>22974107
he also only managed up to n2 and sucks at japanese and talks like a girl lol

>>22974097
ya u virgin

>>22974109
well yeah thats kind of true desu senpai
i was just thinking about how low the barrier for being able to speak with people is

>>22973995
why is my retention rate 90% for new cards then and nearly 100% for the first interval after learning them

>>22974128
let's see it

>>22973915
what am i looking at? your japanese grammar error? study more.

nice answer
https://youtu.be/RkBSkwOFyZA

We're all OK right? Just wanted to make sure before I delete this screenshot.

>>22974176
listen to those radio clips i posted and you'll find out

>>22974176
うん...

>>22974176

>>22974107

>>22974176

>>22974128
let's see the conversation you faggot.

>>22974183

"i'm begging you"
"how about we both go to bed"
"ok"

none of you r9k virgins could ever compare to a suave mother fucker like me

>>22974343
yea that's definitely similar to being a dumbass creeper online

what's the recommended reading material for each level?

i cant stop laughing at the messages holy fuck

>>22974348
this isnt /jp/

if the bitch aint sending lewds of herself from her own will without asking
then dont even post your stupid screencaps, theres no win in asking some hoe for pics

>>22974352
ボファ for beginners
ディーズ for intermediate
リグマ only for advanced

>>22974352

love kids
t. not moe

crazy how much you can understand with only like half of core2k and tae kim

>>22974369
yea begging random women to show their tits isn't creeper behaviour at all lmao

>>22974369
if you don't think saving a pic of a girl and circling her tits in mspaint and sending it back to her isn't creepy then you are way too fargone

>>22974378
you think u understand but you dont

>>22974378
nothing at all?

jamal post a pic of your dick

>>22974384
so? you could say the same about someone watching with english subs lol

>>22974343
yeah you too brainlet

>>22974389
yea it's fair to say someone watching with english subs probably doesn't understand japanese

>>22974393
i'm saying that someone who watched something translated only thinks they understood it unless it's a near total rewrite from scratch

>>22974379
>>22974382
you losers dont understand women

>>22974446
>from /pol/
you see this shit on black people facebook it is hardly a /pol/ meme. i guess getting offended by it kinda gives you away though.

can't believe this loser is bragging about asking a girl to see her manko and being told to go to sleep.

>>22974448
ive already gotten far with it

u act like a faggot white knight who hasnt even looked into the abyss

being able to sell your body is pretty cool after all desu senpai
