2018-03-08 at 12:31 AM UTCCasper, I need some extra income. Can I have a job as your enforcer? Imagine me walking out from behind you and just glaring at people without saying anything. Maybe I could apply some fake MS-13 tattoos beforehand.
We could start a new gang and refer to ourselves as Fat Man and Little Boy. -

2018-03-08 at 12:35 AM UTCNearly forgot.
There was a funny moment during that nearly getting killed by gang members fiasco.
When I was in the ambulance the EMT in the back started playing Crazy by Gnarls Barkley on his phone, first song he played IIRC.

I swear to god. I wondered whether he was just messing with me, but didn't say anything. It seems like too much of a coincidence.
I'm not even mad, that was just...perfect. Although it did make it feel pretty surreal. -

2018-03-08 at 12:42 AM UTCHahaha, honestly, playing that after what those stupid fucking cops said about me, while taking someone to the psych ward in an ambulance, strapped to a gurney.
One day I'm going to tell the entire story on Reddit and I hope someone involved in that learns about it one day. -

Fuck yeah, 100% in under 3 minutes! I'm going to ace the next quiz.
This may trigger a bit of nostalgia for Lanny.
I'm taking elementary Japanese to fulfill the graduation requirement (I took two years of Spanish in high school, but I can't remember if I received a C or better every time (I probably did) and don't really want to use anything from my highschool transcript because my grades were so low due to refusing to do most of the work), for cognitive exercise, and out of personal interest. The class moves pretty fast.
I'm thinking about printing out an entirely blank hiragana chart and asking if I can use that instead of the standard quiz, which is on Monday, that has a lot of them filled in because I want (to show off) more of a challenge.
Ah yeah, I have a copy of genki on my shelf. Honestly I haven't even finished the damn thing. My focus for the last several months has been much more heavily on vocab building than grammar, not so much as a strategic decision, just because it's easier to fix vocab review into the gaps in my day (like probably 80% of my review time is on the bus). Are you using anki or some other SRS? Once you get used to it, it's like a superpower. And if you use anki you'll be running some software I wrote (in very small part).
College level languages courses (even introductory ones) definitely do move fast, I think very few people find it to be a comfortable pace but you learn a lot. If you do it for a few semesters you'll probably be ahead of me since I'm just plodding along slowly. Do you think you'll stick with it after fulfilling your requirement? -
2018-03-08 at 1:52 AM UTCNo I’m not going to stick with it. Fuck school, it’s a ridiculously inefficient and ineffective way to learn. There are too many bullshit class I have to slog through that are going to eat up my time. I also don’t have much of a use for it other than being a weeb and improving my comprehension of the fruits of Japan.

Just freakin' blast a half a tenth of meth before class, bro! -
2018-03-08 at 2:06 AM UTCLanguage classes suck to learn languages. They’re pointless. Language learning is all about memorization and actually using the language.

Shoot the place up, that'll show 'em. -
2018-03-08 at 2:32 AM UTCYou wouldn’t want to waste all that time doing stuff and interacting with people when you could be sitting in a room doing nothing for years on end
