Hey!!! All you NEETs, nerds, YouTube link spammers, pedophiles, neo-Nazis,
Yukorin enthusiasts, Nanako SOS admirers, Part-Time-Preachers,
Diplomats' spoiled sons, losers who can't remember Kanji characters,
Big-boobs fans, Weeaboo from around the world, learners of Japanese
who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, cunning
linguists, stupid fan girls of Johnny's Boys, Touhou pirates, and
that electrical super-gay who suffers from mental disease - This is your thread!
Let's hope the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!
We all wish for permanent world peace! Afikasu is not worth living.
They allways depend on ○, and They can't do anything on their own.
They are just like scum.
It is said that the person who is depending on something is losing oneself, but in this case, they are only making an excuse which is that they are losing themselves.
Are you happy??
Afikasu are really guys who has no meaning living.
They don't create anything by themselves, but they treat other people's as is it is theirs.
To tell repeatedly, as I thought, Afikasu are low grade people by nature.
Yes, they are what is called ”handicapped people”!
They try to earn money by themselves, but they can't.
They don't have any ideas.
They are poor, poor and poor handicapped people who are not worth living.
In other words, they are trifling people.
Since they are children, they have been Suffering from illness which is that they can't help depending on other people.
I lately have started to think that I can't blame them because they have a youthfull illness.
That is because They have such an illness!
That is because They are such people!
That is because They are such handicapped people! Otherwise, they must not have been able to come up with an idea which is reprinting conservations among people, summarizing it on their blog and making money.
Since a long time ago, in Japan, the proverb says, "One beats the bush, and another catches the birds".
but we are talking on a totally different level
It is abnormal to make money by using conservation among other people.
New rule of NINJA NO SATO or something that If you were ordered to say "no reprinting" but didn't, you are done a suiton was made.
In fact, the central figure of the discussion about the rule is me.
I want it to be enforced soon.
It is not heard yet.
It is said that he who is born a fool is never cured.
Afikasu won't understand unless they are done suiton.
They must have 〇● .
Make them not want to go to VIP!
Send them into depths of despair!
So, be done a suiton dozens or hundreds of times!
they should be sorry hundreds or thousands of times!
Go to hell of lack of funds thousands or tens of thousands of times!
Then, Afikasu's blogs will finally collapse.
While saying "all of subscribers on my blog,...please click...", they will die sadly.
It is a suitable lasts for them.
I think that Afikasu don't have human right , and that they will never be cleaned even after dying
Afikasu are worthness whether they live or die.
In other words, they are worthness forever. >>2-3
Too long. Please make it shorter or more amusing. I'm gonna be working out at home now! Kill arms! oh you got reary tired
please take relax in your house I just ordered dark soul 3 the fire dade edition on Amazon! Excited! I hope you guys had a good weekend. I did. Hopefully this week will continue to be nice.
Hey, the guy who was going to get laid, did that work out? I'm at the gym as always now. There is the debu macho I met in the rocker room today. Hopefully nothing will happen. so rub his body unintentionally. >>9
I know you have a good enough build to fend off the sexual attack. Sorry
I mean built, not build >>11
>>12
"Build" is correct in that context. I want to get braces so much! But it takes so much timeeeeee >>13
Thanks for the advise.
I'll have to learn more. Dark soul 3 has not arrived yet. What's wrong with Amazon?!?! The debu macho is at the gym again!!!! Wtf!!!!!! why dont you talk to him? you seems cruel. If only he looked like 五郎丸. who he looks like?
i dont think 五郎丸 is イケメン. i like 畠山 rather. I'm not sure but he is a pig. >>20
I didn't know who you're talking about and googled it and he isn't my type at all.
Athough the body of the debu macho who apparently did rugly (sometimes he wears a 帝京 uni shirt) is amazing, his face is not turn-on for me. >>22
He is a douchebag. Yes, you're right about it. He is a pig in that sense. I'm eating an icecream called スーパーカップ フルーツヨーグルト味. It's actually really good. >>23
Do you live around the location of teikyo uni?
You seem to have little interest in trends. That is good.
How can you live without knowing goromaru's face?
I'm not the type who follows the trend either, but even guy like me knew him little by little
through media, including net news.
Even when you go to a grocery store, you can see his face at frozen foods corner. lol
Nitirei uses him as a character of its frozen chahan productn.
My impression is ウザイ everytime I see it.
You may have seen him before without recognizing him. >>26
Of course I knew 五郎丸. I didn't know this rugby player 畠山.
Oh I love that big 五郎丸 panel. I wish I can do anything to the actual 五郎丸.
No, There is no Teijyo uni campus around my area. He said he came back to hometown or something after college. I see. There are many teikyo rugby men who came from local districts.
Then I have no idea where you live.
Speaking of Hatakeyama, Hatakeyama is a former boxing champion Hatakeyama for me.
How do you think about him? Isnt he cute?
Yeah, he is hoso macho type rather than gachimuti debu macho. I don't feel sex appeal from debumacho people.
I fear more of fear and aversion toward them.
They look violent and ignorant. I would try not to look at them when I see them in real life.
Hatakeyama of Yakult Swallows is debu too. He is too skinny. I'm not into "hoso macho" things. I really like super bulky bodies like bodybuilders and physiquers. Their bodies are so beautiful.
I really need to go to bed now but I ate too much so I can't sleepppp Finally dark soul 3 has arrived and I already died for at least 30 times. Too difficult! I know this is 死にゲー. But I guess it takes time to get to used to control the character i dont like western RPG. even skyrim frequently dies easily such as slipping from cliff. i recommend ETS2 if you are a workaholic. >>31
roll against an enemy in order to get to its blind area.
this is a easy way to beat strong enemies, i think.
by the way writing english sentences is difficult for me. i worked so energetically at a warehouse today that i feel tired.
i can hardly move now. some motorbikes just roared by my house.
they let their engines make annoying big sounds.
how could they...at midnight??? >>34
I'll try that method. Jesus, I can't belive people actually enjoy this game! >>36
That brings back so many memories back in college.
So many DQN college students did that in my area where tons of students live because it's close to the campus. >>36
I hate that! Some people are so inconsiderate. >>34
Those sentences were excellent. I think you're better than you think you are. Believe in yourself :)
Personally, I would have written the first one as "to get INTO its blind area" but your way is still correct. That's just personal preference.
Oh, and the usual term is "blind spot" but the way you wrote it still works, you just weren't using the common expression.
I've seen plenty of worse writing from native speakers. No one in this thread can read and write Engrish. I'm craving burgers now. Wish Mac delivery available here I just ate the まぜそば from 一風堂. It was fine. But will never repurchase it for sure. I have some trouble sleeping.
I want to sleep but for some reasons I can't sleep.
My circadian rhythm is messd up.
Prescriptions have worked.
But now that is wearing off a little bit . Try to wake up really early in the morning. Make it your habit. >>52
Too bad for you.
And if you have a regular job, it's additionally so tough maintaining your healthy life.
It might lead you to death from overwork. a canadian youtuber said that japanese use "that's too bad" as 残念だ, but the real meaning is like 知るか！話しかけんな！.
is it real? Ugh so many retarded families everwhere!!! They should shut their forever-crying kids up!!! So loud and annoying!!!!! >>58
just because her engilsh is weird? I went to my favourite eyewear shop today hoping checking up on my fave glass brand called Tom Ford. BUT They are all gone! Instead the shop repaced with Ray Ban glassses! I was like Fuuuuuck! Ray Ban looks so cheap! Ok. I gave up on dark souls now. I'll sell it on Yahoo auction later. Too difficult. I didn't expect this difficulty at all. ／￣＼ ∥￣￣￣￣￣

し'し' ＼＿＿＿＿＿ Bruce Cumings: A Murderous History of Korea: a Japanese translation
http://chikyuza.net/archives/73031 I just ate スープが決め手の豚骨醤油 from seven eleven!
My judge is...... 4/10 That's discrimination. I wish I could report it to your workplace. Ray Ban glassses are daimon kesuke.
Google daimon kesuke, then you'll know why. I honesty think that our PM is sick and needs to be hospitalized asap
He got this pathological lies. It totally mislead people. I definitely consider
that our PM Abe is really sick.
Asahi, Mainichi and other magazines are trying so hard to tell the truth but those cults
do have hard time listening to the facts. Instead, they try to add the strong force to those
who opposes them and threaten their careers, sometimes using police power
Today, I had seen this malicious misinterpretion given by right wing newspapers, regarding about the consipiracy laws,
which the UN individual was really concerned about our privacy and freedom of speech.
The original English sentences were totally different thing. Even if netizens are these days
aware of malicious lies given by Abe and his congress people, this was totally stunning. A lot of Ministers left Abe's Cabinet with many unbelievable scandals
and everytimes he said things like, " I was responsible" but never left his position.
Then there were these Kake and Moritomo, he is still in his position and I was like
OMG! what is he thinking? It is totally something which is so hard to understand
Although, there are many PM Abe's suportors in the net. Although they are not
quite decent but very noisy and malicious, dirty, and filled with lies.
Unfortunately, somepeople still believe him because he treatens people with missile crisis
in North Korea. I honestly had never seen anyone so shameless like PM Abe and it is pretty shocking.
I do not know how he deal with the society before he was a member of the Diet.
Usually, people leave the Diet, when he/she has these much scandals. Instead
he is giving pressure or threaten media personal not to broadcast something which is not good for him.
I think he is really really really sick >>76
Considering your relentless No to Mr Abe, are you a member of opposition party? I just got 4 packs of chicken naggets at Macdonald's. My dinner. Today I dropped my Tenga-chan during washing and then it completely spit up! I can still use it but... you are homo, aren't you?
do home people also use tenga? This is not even an apology. We need to collect his fucking head.
http://i.imgur.com/6PqB8gd.jpg >>83
Go ahead say something >>84
Thank you , but now my head dont work.
very tired i noticed that the size of my right ear is different (bigger) than that of my left ear.
i feel its shape is also different.
why is it?
i am worried that i am suffering from some disease. my right cheek is almost 3 times thicker than the other. >>86
Don't worry about it. Human faces are almost always asymmetric. OMG, everyone speaks English in here, so cool! >>90
Well, it IS the English thread on the English board... the English here is really good! >>91
Wow, that sounds cool! Respectable!! what does mean 'circle jerk'? >>94
A Circle Jerk is a group of men who masturbate together in the same room, generally in a circle. However, it is also used as a metaphor for a one-sided, self-congratulatory group or discussion. I went to uniqlo. I bought a t-shirt. I'm happy. >>96
Really? Wow! UNIQLO's t-shirt really good. even when others dont wear the same! if there was an unidentified, unclaimed box in front of me, i should've opened it without hesitation when i was a child.
i'm an adult now and if there is such a box, i should be on a high alert and wouldn't open it.
some people are willing to open it even after they become adults and
i guess that implies the difference between those who succeed in their lives and those who don't... uniqlo's outfit in physical retail store is too small for me.
i only use online store. What did tornado do after alert in Yamaguchi pref ？ I need a big dick tonight. Im very stupid man, for example i was late enter college after 2years.
There is free enter except your an achivement test, so-colled F rank university.
I am disgusted by my act. I am very blessed with environments.In spite of good
environments, i am silly man. I hope change myself, so i conducted a lot of things,
but Its useless after all.What should i act for changing myself? I'm interested in making my very own PC. >>106 I built my first computer in 2012. It went great, I'd recommend it. I've done a couple upgrades
over the years so it's still really nice. by making their own PCs, they understand how and what to maintain it.
at least become cafeful about dust. >>108
Exterminate all chinks in Japan in the first place. I made curry today and then remembered I have frozen udons and whipped up curry noodles. That was so great. Me too ^_^ I made curry out of my ass twice today!! NEVER talk about curry while eating unko. >>113
Hey don't eat it too much you'll get fat! >>110
But exterminating the Chinese in Japan will not save Tibet.
Also, it's our government's fault for letting in so many foreigners, so I think our government should be exterminated. Getting hostile toward China might serve some purpose for saving Tibet,
but there are a lot of people hating China already, so I want to take a different approach.
Besides, I like Chinese culture. By the way, I hate curry udon with passion. Curry should be served with rice. Never with noodles. >>116
Are u a spy from china? i just finished reading a comic book titled "bokura-ha minna kawaisou vol.9" and it's fun.
while reading the book i could forget the everyday work and my immediate boss. i like to see uploaded videos on youtube.
from time to time, a lot of foreigners posted comments for the japanese videos (sometimes the ones with english subtitles)
and i also like to read those comments.
i feel i can widen my range of viewpoints by doing that. >>120
I absolutely hate comments for anything Japanese from freaking foreingers. They always make fun of Japanese and like "ewwww are heir eyes even open?!" Or something. Get a life and go to hell with Trump. >>119
Any planning to assasinate your boss? >>122
no there is no use doing that.
i just try to keep as away from him as possible. hi
i feel cold a little here
your town hot in today ? >>124
yes,this phenomenon is only you
I recommend you should go out
I think you feel cold is due to keeping stay in your home
so you go out and do right exercise to feel warm of this country
if as you are,you may be called around everyone "loser"or"withdraw"
break shell and go out!! >>124
Here I felt hot in the daytime, but it started to rain all of a sudden at 5pm, It's gettlng so cold.
What's tempreture and weather where you live? And what're you doing today? I want to do foursome sometime in my life. >>118
Why? A Chinese spy wouldn't voluntarily start talking about Tibet, I imagine. So I'm not a spy, but there was a fishy poster who said something like "things would
be easy if Japan got along with China" and "Japanese are deceived by Koreans."
That poster was fishy. I'm guessing it was the same one (probably some gaijin) that
occaisionally appears in this thread and tries to drive Koreans out. Everything can be posion if you take it too much I think. bacon isnt poison.
He was a philadelphia. >>117
I made curry with soba noodles one time. It was only so-so. It would have helped if I had more vegetables and some meat.
>>121
I don't ever really see stuff like that, but I also never read youtube comments. I just bought a brand new fan. I'm excited to assemble it at home! I'm at the gym again and there is the debu macho! But seems like he lost some weight and look decent now. You should save Tibet with the debu macho. I read Dalai Lama's autobiography, and I was shocked by my ignorance.
The situation of Tibet is something very serious, yet most people know nothing about it.
It should be a compulsory read in school. I have no idea why something like that is left unpunished.
Probably because other countries' politicians are as filthy as the Chinese Communist Party. China should give up Taiwan, Uighur, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau.
They are so greedy. Another white supremacist here The debu macho again like always. He looks grumpy today. if i could become an imaginary monster/creature, i would choose to become a vampire.
i would wander around in town at midnight and bite silky necks of gorgeous women one by one. You are into blood or something?! >>144
Every time is a good time for pancakes. >>145
I wish I could feel motivated to go to the gym as much as you. I would be in great shape.
>>146
Sounds good to me.
>>148
Hell yeah! >>149
Why don't you go to the gym with your wife? I have a question.
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
These are lyrics from The Pretender's Don't get me wrong.
Does the "split" in the first sentence mean the same as "off to" in the second sentence?
Is my understanding right?
Don't get me wrong,
if you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Does a writer of this passage want to say that taking a ride is not special,it's like order of nature?
It's not my understanding though. I read
an English-Japanse translation site and it lead me to
this understanding. >>150
My wife has a chronic pain condition that makes it hard to be active. Besides that, it's hard to find time.
After work, it's hard to do anything but relax, and weekends usually have things going on. Plus I'm pretty lazy, so that doesn't help.
>>151
"split like light refracted" = http://i.imgur.com/ljZk1KO.jpg
"off to x" means "leaving to go to x" so that's the same as ”wander に行きます” Sorry, I don't know the Japanese word there. But it's just another way to say "go"
For the second part, he's saying that when the girl he's talking to says "hello" it makes his mind go flying across the ocean.
The whole song is about how all these amazing things happen when he sees the person he likes, or she notices him or talks to him.
分かりませんなら、おしえてくれ。もっと教えられます。 >>151
I know refract has something to do with physics.
Every japanase-english translation site translate "plit" literally.
A web English-Dictionary http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/split defines split
as 《俗語》 急いで行く[立ち去る]. ≒leave quickly, dash on the sixth definition.
So, I wonder if "split" in the lyrics has the same meaning as "off to" and "wander" in the lyrics.
I imagined a situaion that a girl in the song feels awkward and shies away from a guy because she likes him.
When a person does http://i.imgur.com/ljZk1KO.jpg , what does it mean metaphorly?
Some translation site relates "split" to the state of mind, but I felt it don't come along with
latter lyrics.
>The whole song is about how all these amazing things happen when he sees the person he likes, or she notices him or talks to him.
I don't thin so. http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/64954/
Here is the whole song lyrics. For example, girl stares at a guy
because she is in love, but she denies it and blame it
on meterials like neon lights and fireworks. >>153
In this case, the literal definition of "split" is correct. It doesn't make sense in the context of the song to
have that line be about leaving suddenly, even though the next DOES talk about leaving.
It's all about the feelings you get when you see the person you like.
Fireworks, rainbows, moonlight on the ocean, neon lights etc are all metaphors for love.
The lines you were talking about at the end are the guy looking at the girl, and seeing neon lights because it's like she's glowing.
The picture I posted with the prism and the rainbow is literally light refracting..
Of course it's a metaphor to say that the singer is splitting up, but it FEELS LIKE he's becoming a bright rainbow I just listened to the song and realized the singer is a girl. I assumed it was a guy. So go ahead and switch the genders for everything I said. Sorry. >>155
Really?
Every English-Japanse translation site is in line with my understaing.
I just want to know correct translation line by line....
Should I die?
Don't get me wrong is 勘違いしないでよ
Some translator quoted つんでれ tsundere. You know Tsundere.
Isn't "Don't get me wrong " a call to a boy frined ?
"Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by"
I got the situation vice versa.
A person who says don't get me wrong is a girl(of course singer songwriter is a woman).
"you" is a man. She follows him with dazzled eyes whenever when he walks by
because she falls in love with him. However, she blame it on the neonlights.
Is it completely messed up understaiding?
Should I die? >>157
Songs are often difficult to interpret even if you know the language very well. Don't feel too bad. http://i.imgur.com/YtPRH6P.jpg
today i gonna eat ome-rice! yey! Those are tiny tiny dicks i work for a company but am still seeking new opportunities.
unfortunately most of the opening positions that i think are good require more than what i have now.
i am not qualified and i feel miserable.
i should've studied and worked hard in my youthful days. i'm buzzed.
is this whisky strong ? I don't like baseball.
I prefer soccer.
My favorite teams are Arsenal, Barcelona, Vegalta Sendai, and Jublio Iwata.
Do any Japanese here like soccer but not baseball?
What's your favorite soccer team? I only like world cup soccer. Other soccer doesn't interest me. tonight is strawberry moon. I'm just back from gym and I got a free icecream from seven eleven because I'm a softbank user! wherever you are at the school or work place, what is your method or action to make yourself calm down when you are in trouble? Imagibe killing my annoying useless incompetent bosses in my head. >>157
Everyone can have your own interpretation, but I feel like it's genuine. I think she's saying that all those things
with the lights and fireworks and stuff are her feelings when she sees the guy she likes.
>>163
How much did you have? Most whisky is about 40% alcohol. >>167
I've never heard of strawberry moon. What is that?
>>168
Nice score! Someone pointed out sperm-like smell from leaves at this time of season, on the previous thread.
I knew what he meant, but I didn't necessarilly agree with him.
Now I really understand what he meant every time I passed a certain area on my scooter. lol
I'm not sure if this phenomenon applies to the U.S and other coutries. >>176
Oh that's me. I know the flower of chestnut smells like sperm but seems like there are so many other trees which smells sperm apparently.
I'm glad someone can relate to this. If in the gym I should come across a faggot leering at other men, I couldn't help beating that dirty beast.
Both to you and to me, it was fortunate that we didn't encounter each other :-) I am learning phrasal verbs
I am getting older and it is difficult yo memorize them.
I asked around what is the better way to memorize.
To use phrases seems one of the best way. >>180
I recommend posting stuff in this thread while picking your nose.
You will learn some phrasal verbs naturally, and that's enough for now.
I heard some super translator thing is going to be available in 10 years or so.
We should wait for it and meanwhile spend our time on other things. i don't like excercises but i started going out jogging last year in order to be in a good condition.
at first i couldn't run only 500 meters.
now i can run 4 kms in 25-30 minutes and i want to lengthen the distance more. sometime i think whether native come or not in this board >>176
That's weird. I guess I've never been around chestnut trees because I've never smelled that.
When I go to costco a few miles from my house, the air outside always smells like grape candy. I wonder if that's some kind of tree too.
>>181
It looks a little different than the kind I buy. about 4 months have passed since i moved to a rural town.
several co workers asked me if i had already got used to the life in the countryside. one of my colleagues is a middle aged woman with black hair.
she changes her hairstyle almost everyday, so i am wondering what her point is. That's what women are all about. >>191
i'm afraid not.
my weak point is that i don't have a car yet
so i can't make the most of the useful facilities in the town.
only a supermarket, a drugstore and a LAWSON store are what i frequently visit. >>194
It takes a while to get used to that kind of life for sure. The small town that I lived in for a while with my wife, only had
a population of 500 people. There wasn't much to do, and only a few stores. A gas station, a bar, an expensive grocery store, a hardware store and a post office... that's it. >>194 >>196
We lived there for 9 months, and drove into town every day to go to work. It was about 40 miles (65km). clear sky without clouds @osaka
seems like autumn. Come on rainy season!
My garden is thirsty XD Are you growing vegetables or something? I'm startled by the amounts of porn videos I have saved in HDDs over the years. I deleted about 2TB porns today. >>200
My family are growing some flowers and a few vegetables.
My PC has broken for over a year, but there has been no opportunity to use it.
This is because a smartphone satisfies my demand. I recommend basil. So easy to cultivate but easy to attract insects. i want to attract somebody/something, even insects.
nobody is interested in me.
my daily life becomes more and more boring. just a repetition of travelling between my house & the office.
i know i need to do something to change the current situation but i can't think of any good idea.
that is one of the reasons why i continue to post comments in this thread.
i thought it would be a better way to post on 2ch than to do nothing. >>206
hello.
how are you doing?
everything's going all righty?
la vie en rose? >>205
You need to talk to someone outside our office.
Just register a matching site and find a girl/guy.
I'm not sure how many serious maching sites exist in Japan though.
A friend of mine said here in the UK there are some
and he is enjoying his dating life. >>204
I love having fresh basil in the garden for cooking. I must say that I will never vote for LDP party ever!!!
They are not even democratic government and they revise our history
They lie too much and it makes me feel they have no moral or virtue at all
I did not vote for LDP this time so it kind of makes me feel like
I'm not one of them so I feel really relieved They are bunch of LDP supporters in the net, I feel so surprised
that how much they can lie. There are bunch of liars and it absolutely
makes me feel so sick. TV, it is like PM Abe's supporters everywhere and
they distort the facts. There is nothing evil than that.
I really hope that we all seek for the truth and never go to the evil side I am really afraid that PM Abe and his supporters really
do bad thing to our journalism here in Japan.
I thought our freedom of press was supposed to be somewhere around 11th
in the past, but now it had failed to 71st since PM Abe's reign. He is doing
such a terrible things to our media and journalists. If he doesn't like his/her opinions
next thing we see is that they are gone from the screen. NHK is something that we pay
to watchdog our government but now it is just totally like PM Abe's propaganda
and we are like "OMG? Is this North Korea?"
The conspiracy law was passed and it is not really that we can share with the world.
Since we cannnot say PM Abe and his supports are really not a believer of the democratic govt
There will be a lots of LDP and police power everywhere, if they see some TV programs or
journalists that they don't like, they can do whatever they want. Believe or not, PM Abe's cabinet has these people who are so into
Imperialism or Nazis. Why isn't media really tell these facts to people, it is their duty.
Some media are trying so hard and this personal said that once he tells about those things
there will be a lot of calls to their sponsers. PM Abe's LDP is kind of organized in many ways.
It is totally so creepy. Good thing that we can use the net and watch the foreign news talking about
our society today, unless, we won't have no way to know the facts I recently bought a pot of basil.
It was very fresh and I enjoyed having it a lot
but the problem is it grows too fast
These days I have been eating 10-20 leaves everyday for just catching up...
http://imgur.com/a/YrMjU >>214
I'd make a basil pizza. Just tons of basils and cheese. That's it. I grow tomatoes in greenhouses and sell them at a farmers' market.
Buy my tomatoes please >>216
Where can I find those? >>214
Let's make basil sauce from basil and olive oil.
It can be more preservable than fresh :) >>215
Sounds yum. Do you have a recipe?
>>219
I thought about it but it seems that I need a food processor, don't I? I am god's child. I was dropped on this corrupt world. >>221
that must be a part of lyrics of the song by chihiro onitsuka's "moonlight (月光)"... How do I live on such a field. I wasn't born for such a thing. Today I learned her name is not Onidzuka but Onitsuka I am god's child. A sorrowful sound scratches my back. I can't hang out this world. This is not where I belong. >>214
That's a really nice looking plant! It looks pretty happy there in that window.
If you can't keep up with how much it's growing, you could try drying some of the leaves to save them. >>229
Drying... That's another idea. Somehow I got switch today. But I don't have any gamesoft. Maybe I should sell it on Yahoo auction. >>222
You're right about it. I'll give you some candies. JASRAC really sucks like NHK
they like regulate everything Because of you, the music in town is gone. they don't like music, they just so into money Since PM Abe, they are like a total control freak and
the socialists so they really love to regulate everything
Although, they're not really good with economy and obviously
Abenomics failed. Dumb people don't realize that and they just
believe many silly excuses from our govt Last time, they'd said, I believe that it was NHK that "consumption of squid decreased so our economy is maybe not too good"
and I was totally like what is that exactly? ono yoko got credit of "imagine" song writing ? >>176
I live in a small town in Appalachian Ohio, and I can confirm that I get an occasional whiff of cum where I live. It gives me comfort to know that my Japanese comrades experience the same strange phenomenon. that is not astonishable.
sperm and chestnut's pollen have same odorous substance called as spermine. I'm lying on my bed feeling dizzy and hungry at the same time. I wish I had an useful boyfriend who does anything for me like getting french fries and a cheese burger from Macdonald's.
I just don't feel like driving right now to get to Macdonald's drive-through at the moment. a busy week has been over.
i am still swamped with a lot of work that i have to finish asap
but i decided to take a rest on saturday & sunday. Good gor you. What are you going to do on the weekend? how come u wont work this weekend despite the work that should be done asap?
are u gonna dodge urgent responsibility? or is your work nothing but imaginary? >>245
because i don't feel very good.
i thought that i had to take a rest and be in a good shape again
to effectively complete my task at the office. >>241
You should say, "That is not surprising."
"Astonishing"means "really really surprising," but you can't put "able" on the end, it doesn't work.
>>242
Do you live in a big city? Here in Los Angeles, there are several food delivery companies. You can order from restaurants
or stores and get things delivered within a couple hours. Does that kind of service exist in Japan?
>>243
I know what you mean. I've been feeling overwhelmed all week, but yesterday I actually accomplished a lot and
got caught up. It's a good feeling. she would be crazy for mcdonalds.
in l.a. can u have burgers or so delivered from mcdo?
im a bit concerned about the quality of your work? >>155
Sorry for the late reply,,Writing English consumes more energy and time,
so I procrastinated.
Can I ask more?
I thought "don't get me wrong" had two patterns.
In one case, it shows strong denial for someone, and it is used like "don't get me wrong, you are not my type"
In the other case, it shows consideration for someone, and it is used like "don't get me wrong. I don't mean to hurt you"
I was influenced too much by the japanese translation 勘違い(している）, whose word at times can describe someone
being delusional and self-conceited.
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/don%27t+get+me+wrong
https://www.myenglishteacher.eu/question/what-dont-get-me-wrong-means/
It seems that don't get me wrong is used only in the latter case.
Do you agree on this? Do you think almost all native speakers interpret the song "dont get me wrong" like you do?
I noticed that a couple of Japanese bloggers seem to understand close to the intended meanings.
I take back the previous comments that all Japanese translation sites tlanslated the lyrics
like I did. I deleted somehow these comments below.
>If you say "hello" and I take a ride
Does this sentence describe the siatuation that "you" pick up "I"? >>248
Don't do "mcdo" please. It's "mac". Got it? Thank you. so trivial
anyway abbreviation
dont divert the attention from the main point >>251
it's the Kansai expression of Mcdonald
mac is Kanto >>254
Could it be called dinner, isn't it a snack? I had shishamo, iwashi tenpura, korean pancake, green lettuce tuna salad,

I all goes well with a beer but I had a wonderful dokudami tea I am going to have a gelato later >>256
Dokudami tea ? It flashes back. That's the tea name that I've not heard in a long time...long time.
You are a health-oriented person, aren't you? >>258
not that much but I'd bought dokudami tea in a very rural country-side
it's good when ur having a greasy dish Dokudami tea which costs 2500yen/25pack is so delicious. Dokidami tea? Trying to sound health-concious?! Omg I've been constipated lately. What's your secret weapons? Tell me plz. ∧＿∧
O､（ ´∀｀）O this is my secret weapon!

No hentai plz. Also yours is too tiny. the gay is no more human than the ape is >>264
i wonder what the heck you planned to attack with that weapon... the only creadit card i have is JCB card and it's an international card.
but it seems that you can hardly use the JCB cards in abroad.
in the europe, VISA cards are widely used instead and in the north americas
AMEX or DINERS CLUB cards are popular, right? You can use JCB cards in Hawaii because there are hordes of fucking retaredd Japs tourists there.
Hawaii is in danger. i admire those who can play a musical instrument such as piano or guitar or violin.
i like to watch videos on youtube where a lot of people from all over the world

grand big mac is 470(left) by app coupon and ordinal big mac is 380 (right).
i should have chosen both grand big mac. I ordered the left one the other day and kinda disappointing. I've never eaten such fast food.
If you are Japanese, you should eat rice. Thinking about it, since I got into college and started living alone, I've not often eaten rice at all. Like eating a bowl of rice a day at best?! >>276
you are a sort of imperialist who think that a man must live
based on the stereotypes which you have against his ethnicity.
we have no duty to amuse foreign travelers and anthropologists
by eating sushi and wearing kimono, as well as Africans need not be naked,
or as Oceanians need not eat man. >>279
Your English is an eyesore. Learn to write proper English. Such big words like "imperialist" and "anthropologist" from it lol >>281
I guess his English is OK. >>282
They are not big words. >>283
Seriously?! Look this sentence.
＞you are a sort of imperialist who think that a man must live
I definitely wouldn't make this kind of silly mistake though?! This person or it even don't understand the basic lolololololol Omg I made the silly mistake too lololololololol Grammar-Nazi is eyesore (lol >>287
Yeah, he is a grammar nazi So much better than a bigot though? You fucking retard >>287
What kind of sentence is that? You had better go back to school! Lol please go back to madhouse, okay? >>290
Poor swear words make no impression on anyone's heart. Awwwww I'm getting so much attention <333 Thank you so much <33333 muah >>285
You're english is not so accurate either.
Stop harrassing others Today I learned new words eyesore, bigot, retard, and Nazi! >>296

LOLOLOL This is why people in this thread can't even pass 1 grade of STEP not to mention getting the perfect score of TOEIC

i remember youve uploaded the certificate here. >>205

I didn't say mine is any better. Just said yours is bad.
That silly mistake of mine is so embarrassing though. Anyway, it's so fucking hot here in UK.
It's 30 degree now. oops, i forgot to put the in front of UK The usual British wanabee. You must be so excited in the UK right? Like the terror attacks and also that tower fire thing. Anyway, it's so fucking hot here in Mercury.
It's 300 degree now. In the name of the moon...I will punish you! (snaaaaap I want to be punished....actually I want to punish someone.... therere a lot of odds and ends >>314
That sounds so kinky. You like kinky stuff? Yesterday the fact came out that the grammar nazi is hated by everyone :-) >>316
Ugh, please say it more! >>276
I eat rice like every meal, and for people like me, eating McDonald's stuff is like having a special feast.
I absolutely love not only the burgers but also other stuff like the chicken nuggets. speaking of nazi, my classmate's name was nazi. in my childhood, i appreciate mcdonald's burgers at special events,
but after the storm of discount around 2001?, i regard it as cheeeep food (regular burger is 80yen that time).
a series of food poisoning case definitely crushed mcdonald's brand,
and many stores obliged to be closed or suspended midnight operation.
but lately they are recovering by promoting new burgers(including grand big mac i bought last week).
grand big mac is good for me, but cost perfomance is subtle (probably should get regular big mac *2). is native english speaker in this board ? >>321
Yes, there used to be a time McDonald as a number one in Humburger. >>322
sometimes, not so often. コテハン in this thread are all native. when i speak english or write in english, i am almost always afraid to make grammartical mistakes.
one of the tips about improving english my former boss gave me is that
you shouldn't look up a word/phrase in dictionary.
to say that was easy but to put it into practice was really hard for me. oops i forgot to type "sage" in the mail address area... I bought a value pack of カントリーマアム at a local super market today and Once I opened it, I couldn't literally stoped eating all of them.
I'm feeling super bad and feeling like becoming a freaking pig! The grammar nazi gives rise to a serious quarrel onto the thread,
so we must exert ourselves to keep him from harassing others, that is,
purge this sort of harmful bacteria from here. >>331
Just あぼ～ん and ignore.
Not only he is a miserable troll but he offers nothing creative in his writing.
Poor writing skill, not much vocabulary.
There is no point to read what he writes. >>330
I'll start calling you "country-ma'am boy" :-) >>330
do you like white lolita as well? Well I'm not tring to write excellent writings with big words like you guys. You must be able to write superb sentences. Show it off here. >>331
Remember who exactly started this "quarrel", dude? >>332
Your writing is also poor. What is " there is no point 'to' "? Lol
So embarassing. Too early to give a lecture? What is this thread lol Only kids here This is a "chat" thread.
However, it seems like a lot of angry people here don't even know what it really means nor read the thread titile.
According to someone, your sentences must be creative enough and include hard vocabulaties.... >>332
so i will NG you. take コテハン please. Lan Lan La La Lan Lan Lan！♪ >>339

Someone is so angry lol >>344
I guess you are the one who angry >>345
I just don't like bigots like (ｽﾌﾟｯｯ Sdda-Ep9f) it's the quasi-grammar teacher who should be called "bigot". When exactly did I say my English is grammatically perfect huh? don't fog the point.
it's not whether your english is perfect or not that dose matter.
don't harass others and don't insult others' english.
do you see? oh you beast. >>349
He's just a troll. All we can do about him is just ignore him no. ｻｻｸｯﾃﾛﾙ Spab-QeqB is not just a troll.
he regularly write down daily things here.
sometimes he stir someone up, but he has fluent english skill. >>349
You are THE one which does cloud the point.
I don't "harass" other people's English at all.
Also YOU are the one whick harass people like me calling "beast".
Oh you peabrain >>350
Ha. Calling me a "troll" is the only thing you can do?! >>353
Regardless of what I call about you, you are trolling others. And what else can you do for us beside it? Taking so much time to responding a single remark? I believe you learn English though? You can't even text-chat with native speakers, can you? As >>351 says, I jot down things I did or whatever. That's it. I'm not at home. That's it. Too early to draw a conclusion? Seems like this person is so angry too lol
Just imagine this guy or her sitting in front of the PC with a red angry face lololol >>357
never. he always search and meet white gaizin via 出会い系 app. >>352
You are the one "that" does cloud the point >>352
And
You "ARE", not YOU are.
If you want to emphasize it. >>361
Lol
I did it on purpose because that person doen't "that". Can't you see that? Awwww you're so naive >>359
I'm writing down things on smartphone Oops sorry I made a mistate.
*doen't deserve that >>363
Well, I'm just copycatting you. >>364
Also I'm with someone else. Kinda rude though.
That's why it's taking some time. What's the purpose then? Tell us if you insist lol >>367
Who is Kinda rude? Your sentence's subjects are so vague. >>365
You meant, "I don't deverve that"? >>368
Ok. I'm at home now.
There is no purporse. I'm just trying to make my point. That's it. >>369
Yes. I'm rude. But I'm simply rude to people who are rude to me. I always make it a rule that I try to be respetable to nice people. >>370
No. That person doen't deserve "that". "Which" is enough for it. >>360
That was a long time ago. Black history really. Also someone said >>332 here, We must offer something "creative" in writing here.
Damn! I can't do that. Also you gotta have some point "to" write here. But is it just me or the writings here >>332 is nothing creative and only simple words are used?!?! Hey! What are you doing? Cat got your tongue? I am planning to save Tibet. I like cats also. >>249
I'd say the first meaning is usually right. "Don't get me wrong" is usually used when you're trying not to hurt someone's feelings.
>>250
I can see why you think that, but the next line changes things. "I take a ride upon a sea" so it's talking about a feeling of sailing.
There has been a lot of updates on this thread and I haven't had a chance to read since Friday, so this is all I have time for
right now until I can get caught up a bit more. >>248
Yep, and lots of other places. Take a look: www.doordash.com or www.grubhub.com
You can use the address "1221 Artesia Blvd, Hermosa Beach, CA" that's a 7-11 nearby. >>380
strange booming sounds come out of the side of my laptop pc from time to time
but it still is properly working.
i purchased it 18 months ago. i began to read a comic book series titled "AQUA", which was released more than 10 years ago.

Visa and Mastercard are the most common in the US. American Express and Discover are around too
but not as common. I've heard of Diner's Club but I've never seen one.
JCB is pretty rare. Probably the Japanese stores around me will take it, or stores in areas with a big Japanese population,
but if that's all you brought with you to America, you'd have a hard time.
>>281
His English was actually really good, I only see two mistakes. One: I don't think "Oceanian" is a word.
Two: "sort of imperialist who think that a man must live"the word think should be "thinks" because the subject of the sentence is "you,"
which is singular. I can see how this mistake was made, if you think of the subject being imperialists as a group.
>>322
I'm a native English speaker, but I'm usually here in the middle of the night in Japan's time zone. I come here while I'm at work.
>>349
I agree with you. It's okay if your writing isn't perfect. If people understand what you mean, then you are successfully communicating
and that's the whole point. That's why I don't really correct people unless it seems like they want me to. Sorry I have to say your writing should be creative enough unlike mine. China's Kinpei shouldn't be allowed to enter Japan until they stop fucking with Tibet. I agree. China should get out of Tibet. I'm interested in British accent but I'm afraid I can't pronounce even ”can't.”
What if I said ”can't” as cunt?
Well, I don't speak in English though. >>389

but it doesn't hurt at all.
i don't know why. That is pretty common. Don't worry about it. i just googled the symptoms i am suffering from,

That's too much. Just stayed there for a minuite! Although it's 1 am, it was hot and uncomfortable. >>431
was it too hot like that yesterday?
where do you live?
I live in Tokyo and i dont feel hot as you say Girls in classmates "Hey, what do you do when you erect during class?"
I "I can not do anything, I will wait until I get better."
A girl of a classmate "Is that so, you do not masturbate?"
I "I think masturbating in class will be crazy."
A girl of a classmate "Hahaha, it's funny."
A girl of a classmate "Hey, have you ever masturbated by creating girls in classmates?"
I "Yes."
A girl of a classmate "Did you get excited at that time?"
I was asked like this. What was her intention? I somehow feel that Japan gradually sink to the bottom.
Japan's constitution even bans that Japanese people protect the lives of their own
by second paragraph of Article 9 of it.
There is no such nation, is there? >>437
You hope she wants your cock? >>436
It was very humid and uncomfortable. I already use my air-conditioner to set on 除湿 mode. >>437
creating girls in classmates
I'm not sure what that means. Translation trouble? The day before returning home from the Vietnam War, a young soldier called home.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, but I'd like to take a friend who has no other place to go.
May I live together at home? "
My parents crazy about my son's return report, of course! I cried and answered.
"But there is something I want to say only one thing.
He stepped a landmine, he lost his arms and legs.
But I want to take him home and leave. "
In that speech my parents got shut up.
"If only a couple of days is okay, care of the disabled is awful.
While you are at home, let's find a place where your friends can live.
Because you and ours have our lives,
It is impossible for me to live my life by taking care of my friend. "
Finally my mother said only that, my son quietly hung up.
The next day, there was a telephone call from the police, and the parents of the young soldier
He was told that he jumped from the roof of the building and died.
The parents who confronted the corps exclaimed and broke down. I don't still get the difference between "a" and "the". http://f.xup.cc/xup1fzzgtnc.jpg

I'm not concerned about constitution so much.
I heard Chinese are buying land and water sources and occupying villages and towns.
That's what I'm concerned about.
China is an invader country now, and all politicians in Japan need to take this fact to heart
and face up to reality. Face up to reality might be a wrong phrase...
I wanted to say that those naive politicians should stop pandering to the Chinese and protect our country. I heard that so many rich Chinese people have been buying real estates in Tokyo and they're going to sell them before the Tokyo Olympics to gain profits.
I wish I had so many money for that. >>443
For requests, "A" is general while "The" is specific.
For example, if I say "Please give me a knife," then any knife is acceptable.
If I say "Please give me the knife," then I want a particular knife.
Where it gets a little more complicated is that the familiarity of the object between speakers also matters.
If I were to say "Please give me the knife" but the person I'm talking to doesn't know about the knife, then they'll probably be confused.
In such a case, it may be necessary to use "That" instead and show or tell them where the knife I want is.
My first example, "Please give me a knife" doesn't have this problem; the listener is free to give me any knife.
It's mostly the same outside of making requests:
In the sentence "The dog ran away", I am talking about a dog that both I and the listener know about.
If the person I'm talking to doesn't know about the dog, then I should say "A dog ran away" instead.
The third usage is rhetorical, and you usually use "A" instead of "The."
"A leader must also be a servant."
"The leader must also be a servant" only makes sense if there can only be one leader, and it sounds weird without specifying what leader I'm talking about.
I hope this makes things a little clearer. Ｉ feel like Japan will be over anytime soon
because of people without any thought of national defense
not only politician but also the people can not see reality as it is
what brought on this situation in japan? You're upset about the election's resluts or what? no, i'm not

（＿ノ ヽ＿） Not at all, but I felt the vote rate of this election was lower than my thought.
I wonder why the rate was low.
The figure showed that most of the people in Tokyo has no concern abou politics, Is it right?
If you have different opinion, please tell me that. more than half of the tokyo citizen voted
it's still higher than the last time
what percentage did you expect? I don't like avi flv type of movies. I just want mp4 movies. >>457
I expected the rate was over 60.
That about half of citizen went to vote means the rest didn't do that.
I used pre-vote this time, that's because I worked all the day so I thought I couldn't went to vote the day. >>455
Why are you hentai all the time? I know it's too late but today I learnt the existence of "lazy glasses". Such a nice invention!

I always thought those looked like a weird gimmick. Let us know how they work. I am just so happy since yesterday
The LDP party, those biggest liars, they had a hysterical defeat
I honestly do believe that was totally a heaven's judgement
It made me believe that there is GOD
PM Abe's arrogance was something
I do not know how a human can become something so evil like him
and his friends but I saw a huge punishment and I really feel satisfied
and they do deserve that, like forever I really hope PM Abe will be gone from our govt and a screen FOREVER!
He is totally a nightmare and a horror. He is just so disgusting. He lacks
humanity, fairness, sincerity, like everything.
They talk about a virtue or whatsoever but I believe that they have got to
learn about very simple virtue, do not keep lying in front of the people,
it really makes us feel so humiliating and disgusted. I wish a huge sum of money came down to me from the sky. But the elected party, Tokyo citizen first, is pretty much similar to LDP.
I don't understand why people still chose the delegate Koike Yuriko after she's wasted billions of money on the relocation of Tsukiji. I think people only care about the image the mass media report.
I suspect the two party will team up later. >>465
If it happens, please tell me where. I'll go stand there too with a net to catch the next time. >>460
that is what i am here for tonight typhoon comes 2days after quakes at hokkaido and kyusyu, wondering how frequent disasters occur in jpn. I really agreed with you.
The mass media stirs up people in tokyo to attract Tokyo citizen first.
And Ms.Koike wants to be back to national government after the Olympic game, I think.
Anyway, The typhoon hasn't come yet arond here.
How's weather in your hometown? Yay! The rain is finally coming! The dirts on my car is being washed away right now! It's pouring down outside. I'm kinda excited. As far as Tokyo goes, it's a relief for typhoon to pass by during the night.
I wake up tomorrow morning to find the sky clear and everybody walking down the street as if nothing had happened.
Then, I'll talk to myself, "Where's the typhoon gone?" That's for sure. I am god's child. I was dropped onto this corrupt world. >>467
I'll get all of the money to myself.
>>475
How do I live on such a field? I just watched the recent video of Kazuyo Matsui.
What's wrong with her? I'm pretty sure she is metally broken and probably has schizophrenia. >>477
It's just a matter of time before Funakoshi divorces her. But in this video what she says is kinda making sense.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-RNg2RQmmA
What is she trying to do? Destroying his life because he cheated on her or what? >>446
Don't worry, you're not alone. >>479
We don't know the truth, but looks like she's got a lot of evidence that Funakoshi is a double-faced dog.
Did the late Eiji Funakoshi draw a sword!? Whoa! Your sentence is too great to stop laughing. not yasuha. this time kazuyo matsui?
by the way, yasuha was a great singer. I'm a japanese native speaker.
So I can understand her theatrical speech.
hahaha.
Maybe people who can't understand Japanese could understand the atmosphere.
Japanese never speak like that in real life except a few wierdos.
She is like just out of T.V drama or theater.
And the content of her story is eye-popping..
The U.S is blamed for his husband behavior.
I demand apology from U.S. correction, her husband behavior. >>484
I have no idea what you're talking about, but if it makes you feel better, I'll say "sorry."
It's no skin off my nose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-RNg2RQmmA
I talked about this.
Listen to it and test how much you can understand what she says.
If you can undersatand the outline of her speech,it shows your Japanese skill is getting better
day by day.
COngratulations!!
Don't be disappointed if you can not understand at all.
Then count how many words you was able to understand. >>488
I can understand a little but my vocabulary isn't so good. I don't feel like she's talking strangely, though.
In the first clip, she starts out talking about a date or something, right?
And there's something about being really sorry. I heard something about her husband, and ordering from the TV.
I didn't get the idea that she had a weird way of talking, I just didn't recognize a lot of the words because
it's been so long since I studied Japanese. >>489
If she was on a TV drama or on a teatrical play, she would be fine.
She speaks like she was in a shooting of a tv.drama.
Her way of expressing emotiond is also too dramatic.
Her talking style might fit the Japanese listening test though.
She is like a seiyuu(voice actor).
It might be the clue to why you feel it natural. She is lashing out at his husband in her video.
the story of diabetes
impotent
overdose of viagra
husband's relation with his masseur
,,
lol wow I mean her husband
I can't even distinguish between her and his propely .lol >>492
In a case like this, if I was having this conversation with someone who I thought was a
native speaker, I would have been confused and I would ask you to explain.
But since I knew you aren't a native English speaker, I just figured it out myself. i thought everybody in this thread is japanese... Umm,I'm not sure.
But if anyone who isn't Japanese, they also want to speak better eng as well as we Japanse, or want to exchange language.
Matsui Kazuyo looks being mental illness.
I knows nothing what she said is true or not, but her behaviors are out of the norm.
If your partner cheats on you, Won't you get mad like her? I wouldn't go crazy like her, but I'd leave my partner immediately. Is anyone else logging the Chat in English threads?
I can't figure out #68-#74, and I can't find #107, #144, and #174. i'm looking into purchasing a tablet computer but i'm not sure which to buy.
i tend to avoid hot selling items so maybe i will not choose apple's ipad.
before visiting a store, i need to identify my needs... wait until amazon prime day on monday. >>494
I'm American, from California. >>446 is from Louisiana, I think. I believe there
is at least one British person who comes sometimes, plus the Japanese ex-pat living in England.
>>498
I just bought the new generation Kindle Fire HD 8. It was only $90 and I'm happy with it.
It's not the most powerful, but it does everything I want pretty well and I was able to install
Google services on it so I can get any android app, instead of only what's on Amazon app store.
Maybe an iPad would be faster but I'm very happy for less than $100. My last tablet
was a Nexus 7, it cost $350 in 2012 but I've barely touched it in a couple years. It's
very slow and frustrating to use. >>486
If american pharmaceutial company Pfizer had not invented VIAGRA, funakoshi's
impotence resulting from diabetes would not have been cured and funakoshi would
not have relations with younger woman. In japan, japanese can only get 25mg or 50mg of VIAGRA from
hospital.
Funakoshi personally imports 100mg of viagra from the U.S Buy iPad. Too embarssing to use other brands if you're outside. I ate 串カツ for lunch yesterday, but I want to eat much more 串カツ for breakfast. >>504
That sounds awesome. >>504
dont forget cabbege. >>461
i 've just orderd it. the price is about 5 dollars
when the goods arrive, I will give my impression of it here
at any rate it's chinese-made >>507
Mine has not arrived yet since it's coming all the way from China.
Let's enjoy lazy life! making no sense, your saying never moves me Too many BBAs at the gym today. Trying to lose weight for summer? TOO LATE! >>510
You not only don't like BBA but also have no interest in female,right?
Too self conscious BBAs are troblesome. It applies to GGE too though.
BBA there might like you. lol the other day i found an opening position at a company on a recruitment website and
i thought that my professsional experiences matched their qualifications requirements very well.
so i applied for the position with my cv but they turned me down immediately... >>512
Never mind. Never mind. It happens so often. Go on with your job hunting. globalization destroies cultuers specific to individual regions
it has procuced many migronauts and terrorisms, and widend economic disparities around the world.
at first I welcomed the emargence of the president Trump
because I thought he is the man who stops excessive globalisation like now.
however, i'v known Trummp is not the man. he is a complete armature about politics,
come out whoever a powerful anti-globalist ! >>512
that is understandable thinking that you are a 2chﾈﾗｰ. >>510
where gays had better go is not the gym but the gas chamber Your English is an eyesore. >>515
You remind me of a spoiled brat complaining about a Christmas present because it wasn't exactly what he wanted. >>519
It feels pretty terrible to get a present that's expensive but you don't want. Amazon is holding the premium day sale. What did you guys get? Are there anyone who does 'host' on airbnb? >>519
i dont know what you are saying
you miss the point, maybe Ughhh, I've gained 3kg for two month.
Although I have a plan to go to guam and wear bikini, I can't keep on going like this.
So I have to lose weight by my trip, the dead line is coming, just about a month lol.
I want to ask if you have any ways to lose weight healthfully.
From yesterday, I've started dancing for a hour in a day and cut off eating snacks.
The pig can't fly the air is only called “a pig“ … I know I know. I just received a drive recorder from Amazon! What a speedy delivery! I'm impressed! amazon doesn't pay any corporate taxes in japan
as their headquarters are located in the usa(?), not in japan.
after i knew about this, i somehow stopped placing orders with them though i didn't fact-check... i removed my wisdom teeth last week and i lost 2kg i plan to watch 美味しんぼ anime about 100 episode? on amazon because i became prime member this month. >>529
How was it? Painful? I got them removed years ago and it was so much easier than I thought. A pieace of cake actually. >>526
I know your pain. I've gained 20 pounds this year. Before that, I've worn the same
size clothes for probably the last 15 years, so it's really frustrating.
I don't have very many clothes that fit now.
>>529 >>531
When I got mine out, I didn't do anything but lay on the couch for a week afterward.
I wasn't paying attention to my weight back then, but I bet I lost some. >>521
I bought bags, a pair of socks, some clothes, and earphones. I got the drive recorder, an eyemask, post it, corn potages from Amazon. I'm proud to be straight. You're also be proud of being a homophobic nazi right hitler did nothing wrong.
fuck jews >>534
speaking of socks, i usually wear black socks by uniqlo, the top of which almost reaches my knees.
but most of men these days, seem to like wearing short socks, which can cover only their ankles.
i am simply an out-of-date person but i am fond of long socks even when i am off-duty. >>541
of course not.
if you are not young anymore, you should not go with half pants and long socks.
it is a big, big no-no. I remember that back in high school there were a couple of otaku boys in my class who rock their socks like >>540.
It was literally murder and almost so good because it's too dasai. This is the best assortment ever
http://i.imgur.com/2h1VqGj.jpg >>543
Are they made with bourbon, or is that just the name? >>543
You can say that again! I think this name bourbon come from the house of Bourbon. Are there anyone who wears sandal with socks at same time? wassup jook how you doing you lousy attention whore >>544
confectionery maker's name. my mother used to like bourbon's sweets very much.
about 20 or 30 years ago (i can't remember correctly),
she bought a pack of bourbon's sweets at a nearby supermarket as usual.
after she came back to our house, she found a dead animal contained in a clear packaging
along with tasty sweets she loved.
then she called bourbon.
she wasn't mad at all. >>546 >>549
Oh ok, that makes sense.
>>548
Everything is just fine, thanks for asking. How about yourself?
>>550
What happened after that? >>551
the person who answered my mother's call (i am not sure if he/she was in charge of QC) seemed to be really decent.
my mother got the replacement sweets and the official apology letter from bourbon, plus the additional free sweets(?).
anyway she still loves bourbon and she gives me its sweets on occasion when i visit my parent's house. if young people find a dead animal in a sweets packaging now,
they might shoot and upload it to some sns to try to make it go viral... My favourite ice cream called pino got small plastic scums long time ago. This happened twice! My favorite flavor was cotton candy which you could find at any 31 ice cream shop but it disappeared last month. Made me so sorrow. >>555 >>556
Using "sorrowful" in that sentence isn't wrong, but I think it makes it feel overly dramatic.
Unless losing the flavor ruined your whole summer, you could probably just say "sad," or "let down," or "disappointed." >>>555
I was never really a fan of the cotton candy flavored ice cream.
In America, it's usually way too bright pink and blue. It's so unnatural and it hurts me eyes.
Plus it's just really sweet with not much flavor. Maybe the recipe in Japan is better. My current secret dream is to go to America and then call white shop and/or restaurant staffs racist and get them into a big trouble.
It must be so satisfying! >>559
Your secret dream is trolling? Dude, aim a little higher. >>561
So, someone called you racist and you want to get back at them? >>551
It comes from french Bourbon dynasty, not from the american whiskey.
Bourbon specializes in western sweets such as cookie.
Not all theire products are sweets though.
This is my favorite.
http://www.bourbon.co.jp/static/images/item/2243.jpg
I don't eat snacks nowadays as much as before because I care about
carbonhydrate. >>564
Thanks for the extra information :) Hey GOD, are you still here? Today, Wimbledon male tennis final will take place. I am a huge fan of Roger Federer. I am sure he is gonna hold 8th title of this tournament.
I can't wait! 1'm >>507
i got "lazy readers" yesterday
it took ten days to arrive from amazon
the goods seems like sturdy for its price
a little bit heavy than i thought
with this, i can watch tv comfortably while lying flat on my bed >>569
federer's tennis is beautiful. that is apcceptable, but seems like this tornament is ONLY for roger.
i mean, vs.berdych at semis, roger got win by audience power.
i felt soooory for berdych. i am rooting for venus williams.
i watched her from teens, but now she is the oldest player at this wimbledon.
even it is enough to be emotional, but the fact she went final is more. >>570
You got it? I got mine last week and I didn't like it.
I spent 30 minutes wearing those glasses but I became very dizzy like feeling sea sick or something. i am rooting for venus williams.
i watched her from teens, but now she is the oldest player at this wimbledon.
even it is enough to be emotional, but the fact she went final is more. I missed the match.
When I turned on the TV to watch the match, it was over, news was on T.V.
too early...
I don't know much about Tennis,but I agree Federor plays with elegance.
I can't describe exactly in Japanese either.
His old wife always watches his match on the seats like a ghost.
It must be a western culture.I feel afraid if Federor's concentration
will expire by her existence.
Are there any ranked tennis players of western lineage who don't accompany their wives
to the stadium? she has too much weight for a ghost.
anyway, usual players accompany his/her partner.
because wimbledon's main courts are soooooo special for the players and his/her familiy. Doesn't Federor bring her wife to every grand slam stadium?
I think I have seen Djokovic's wife many times too.
I hope Nishikori won't imitate this custom.
Nalal is permited to bring his fiancee, but Nishikori is not.
Nishikori's girl friend must be eager to watch the match from a
special seat.
I don't know what the difference is.
Nishikori's girl friend seemed to be shut out by the french open organization
and ordered to watch the match from a general seat, according to the news. 'I fear no one, but respect everyone.'
'Play with respect, win with grace.'
ROGER FEDERER >>573
oh, really?
i bought this
http://fast-uploader.com/file/7055771331100/
the same as yours?
although i watched a movie on sky perfect tv for about 30 minites,
i didn't get sick at all >>579
Yas. I got that glasses but it didn't work for me.
Seems like I'm not alone. Some people experienced this discomfortness by wearing those . >>577
federer's wife goes everywhere roger goes.
nishikori's girlfriend is prohibited to meet at formal situation by his father/mother,
so can't enter his family box.
her circumstance has not good reputation. I went to the beach with my freinds today. Had a lot of fun! I wish everyday is like today. >>570
Is it good for reading, like maybe laying flat and holding a book by your chest?
>>573
That's what I was worried about.
>>580
How do you feel about 3D movies? Some people get headaches. I wonder if it's related.
Have you tried VR? Does that make you dizzy too? >>582
I love the beach. I wish I could go more often. Even though I live just a couple miles
from the ocean I don't go to the water very often. My days are usually work or resting. >>581
Federer has no chance to become swiss funakoshi eichiro.
Poor Federer.
Federer does not need Viagra.
If adultery surfaced, it would damage his public image and he woudld
lose many contracts.
I wonder if there exists an item to cut contract for adultery and seek
compensation.
As for the drug use, it's in vain. >>584
Sun lights is not good for your skin.
You seem to live in a good place.
Residents are almost white? >>586
I'm white, but I live in LA, which is a very diverse area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Los_Angeles
Are you asking if a lot of people are pretty pale? I would say no. I'm generalizing, but people I've met from the UK are usually whiter. >>587
I heard areas for rich people are full of white. It must be true.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belvedere,_California
So, you are not wealthy, right?
(Rich) white people on coastal areas seemed to be divided over
Tramp or Hillary. They tend to be more conservative than other races, but
they seem to be also influenced by so-called liberalism.
I'm suprised that people from far off the coast, especially in northern part of california,
overwhelmingly support Tramp.
There must be two californias.
>I'm generalizing, but people I've met from the UK are usually whiter.
I don't know why. Is it because of strong sunlights in California or that you
are italian descent or something?
In japan 美白(white bueauty skin) has been a trend especially for women and younger people
are getting away from the beach. We have stronger skin to sunlight
than white people though.
Health and aestheticism matter more than fun. I have to mention people lacking vitamin D are increasing.
That is not good for health either. After I got married I have little time to have my spare time. I am really tired to speding time with my wife. I am eager to go for a date with another girl.
Lol Date with your daughter :D 美白 thing is so behind the times. I so much prefer healthy tanned skin. >>591
I bet you are a woman. You don't know man's feeling. I enjoy every weekend with my wife.
Not bad for me because we have many offsprings. >>586
Dont you know how impotrant vitamin D is for your health? I heard recently so many women are having an affair. 1 out of 4 women enjoy having an affiar and 1 out of 3 men have an affair apparently. sunlight may be harmful to your skin,
but it uplifts your emotions.
many polar residents are under depression. >>590
is your wife just a girl...? >>598
some people insist that personalities of people and climates of the town/city they live in are closely related
although no definite scientific evidence seems to be found. i just read an article about an hollywood actor who succeeded in losing weight.
1 thing i was surprised at is that a word "stone" was used as a unit of weight.
i know and have seen "lbs (pounds)" many times to date but i have never seen "stones"... >>600
i think relationship between depression and sunlight has scientific data.. Norway's climate produced Munch. >>601
You must have been reading a british article. They use "stone" for some thing in the UK. >>601 >>605
Correction: They use stone for the weights of people in England and Ireland.
A stone is 14 pounds, about 6.3kg.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_(unit) I hate the climate in Japan.
Spring is fucking windy, Summer is ridiculously hot and humid, Fall has many typhoon, Winter is fucking cold. 4 season is not needed for me. >>580
>>583
Tha's too bad
i tried reading for 30 minites in the way as >>583 said, but i was not dizzy
maybe you are easy to get carsick ?
though, its notice saying "use for short periods of reading only"
originally it is unsuitable for a long period use >>580 >>608
Thanks for reporting back about those glasses. I think I will wait for now. >>607
What month do you like most? I like October and November. idk why but i like wednesday >>613
My high school had a policy that it was ok for students to miss class because of religious holidays.
So my friend and I started our own religion, and Wednesday was our holy day.
We never actually tried using it to skip school, but it was funny. You just reminded me about that. Today I was at the station and this guy talked to me like
"hey are you marumaru-san? I'm marumaru. Do you remember me? It's been a while since we graduated from junior high school!" Or something.
But I didn't recognize him at all even didn't recall his name. I was a bit panicked for a moment but I was able to improvise a response like
"omg! Hey how are you? You look so different now!" Or something. I still have no clues who the hell I was talking to.
Looking back I'm very impressed with my ability to deal with that situation. I handled it very well. I think I can become an actor or something lol >>618
That happens to me sometimes, I hate it too. I usually end up doing the same thing. Good job! >>620
I tried to remeber him after that but didn't work. Also I deposed of the yearbook years ago so I have no ways to check up on his ID.
Oh well linkinpark's vocalist died.
in the us. does it need courage to openly admit that one is a fan of them? Talking about a person who just passed away makes me feel like I ought to mourn every single day for people died at this very minute.
It's like more than I can bear therefore
I usually try to stay away from such topics.
However, it's a bit hard to stop thinking about it because I'm a humble fan of his.
I wish I could go to enjoy their live in Japan.
I'm so sorry for him and his family. OH, you are a fan of them.
if "taka" replaces him in japan tour, can you take it?
Nirvana, Linkin park and etc, band's pessimistic lyrics and suicide rate seem to correlate.
and drugs.. >>624
I didn't buy the ticket.
It's expensive, plus I don't like crowded places, and for some reasons. Oh, wish was your wish... regardless of the vocalist death.
i can understand you.
I read on a 2ch thread that once audince leaves your seat, one can't get back to your seat.
that's crazy.
I'm the one who don't like the trend that every one must standup in the pop music concert.
How do you think?
and i want to know about replacing chester with taka.
洋楽 listners tend to hate japanese musicians who imitate 洋楽.
I'm not a fan of one ok clock, but the vocalist's ability is above and beyond
japanese vocalists ever in my opinion. Who are your favourite 洋楽 singers? Is Snape the "Hitler" of the Harry Potter franchise？Like how everyone thinks he's the bad guy but he turns out to be right all along >>627
I agree with you about standing up. I wish I could just relax and not be on my feet, but you have to get up
because the people in front of you are going to, so you won't be able to see anything from your chair.
It's annoying. the only thing worse than anime is people who watch anime Omg omg omg. The guy I used to like just followed me on twitter. I have no idea how he did it because I blocked him on all SNS sites. Damn! this week, i worked overtime 3 days in a row that i feel a bit too drained now.
i have to care about myself more. >>633
Do you get paid more for overtime in Japan? I earn 1.5x if I go over 8 hours in a day, or 2x if I go over 12.
I've only done more than 12 a couple times in my life though. >>632
Why did you block the person you like? >>635
on a case by case basis.
my basic salary is inclusive of 40 hours' (a month) overtime premium,
so i get paid more only when i work overtime for more than 40. i caught a cold even on the summer season...
take cafe after your workout, rest enough, and DONT chill your bed room exceptionally. >>636
He broke my heart. I just blocked him on twitter again. I almost fogot his existence but the pain came back. >>638
Are you saying that every month, you work 40 hours of overtime? How many hours do you work in a week?
>>639
Good advice. I usually like to sleep in a cool bedroom because the blankets are comfortable and if the room
isn't cold, then I will sweat from the blankets.
>>640
That's a good reason. >>637
I've gained 20 pounds this year. :( >>641
you dont rely on air conditioner?
if so, you maybe disdain summer in jpn... >>643
No, maybe I wasn't clear. I do use the air conditioner. I like to have blankets on me to be comfortable.
But if the AC isn't on, then I get too hot with the blankets.
I did a study abroad at 九三大 in June 2007. It was so hot and humid!
I think Florida is worse though, because there are more mosquitos. >>644
九産大?
have you experienced a harsh クマゼミ cicada voice?
http://www.odd.jp/040724kuma1.jpg >>647
Oops, did I have the wrong kanji? I'm glad you understood anyway. Thanks for correcting me.
I don't remember the cicadas being noisy while I was there, although I have heard them before. When I start hearing higurashi's voice, I start to feel Summer really starts.
When I hearing min min zemi's voice, I start to feel I am in the height of Summerr
(I confused minmin zemi apperance with abura zemi one. I thoght aburazemi was minmin
zemi. we can see a lot of aburazemi in the residential areas, probably attracted by the lights.
When I start hearing tsukutusukuboshi's voice, I start to feel Summer is near the ending.
(Dead aburazemi on their backs are what remind me of it, too)
I don't like haiku(japanese poem)'s formality, but I associate insect's voice with
Season like haiku shows.
It's true that Japanese feel season with a insect voice and become sentimental.
I heard that for the westeners, insect's voice was nothing but noisy and nuisance. It it true? There is something that I think is rather strange.
most people who achieve great success as a kid actor
don't grow taller since then.
for example, Natalie Portman, Jodie Foster, Daniel Radcliffe,
Elijah Wood and Justin Bieber.
in japan, Yumi Adachi, Mao Inoue and most of the Johnny's actors.
don't you wonder why? I assume they tend to pick up a shorter child than taller one.
If they looked for a child actor as 10 years-old character, they would rather choose a certain child actor.
For example, he/she is 12, smarter than 10, and as short as 10. I am East Asian. I have to admit that the white people contributed the most to the world in the past several hundreds years,
physics, mathematics, evolution , computers, Democratic societies, and the US Constitution ( best balance of political power).
Some statistics show that White has the most genius even though Asians have higher average IQ scores.
I believe this is true. I thank the contributions by all the white genius. >>641
i usually work 30-40 hours of overtime a month.
even when i work overtime for less than 40 a month, say, 10 or 20,
the company must pay me the amount of money equal to 40 hours' overtime premium.
that's the contract. I somehow got nintendo switch today and downloaded my favorite old fighting game but I need an arcade fight stick. Are there any non-Japanese people in here? English is difficult
What i mean in >>650 is as follows..
in most cases, people who achieve great success as a kid star couldn't get taller after they grow up >>654
Give it to me. I'm jealous. >>652
How many years did ”several hundreds years” have? More than 1000? If my classmates and I had have a plenty of smartphones, tabs, and this kind of thread, English classes would be better. >>649
Maybe in some places it's like that. I think different people have different things that make them feel the seasons.
For me though, bug noise is just annoying.
>>650 I think >>651 is probably right. They pick actors who look extra young, so even when they
get older, they still look little.
>>653
I think I understand what you mean. People here on salary work the same way, except I think Japan's work culture is
way more extreme. Do you feel like your situation is pretty common? Most people in the US don't work that hard.
Actually salaries have gotten harder and harder to get. Companies have made a huge shift in the last 10 years to have more
part-time and hourly employees and fewer salaried workers.
I've never had a job with a salary, I work 40 hours a week. Occasionally I do a little overtime at my current job, but not often.
The last place I worked at, I averaged probably 2 or 3 hours of overtime a week, which wasn't a big deal. My boss would do probably 6 to 8
but I think that is because we didn't have enough staff and she had to fill in.
Most companies avoid letting people work overtime at all because they don't want to pay extra.
How many hours do you work in a week?
>>655
私は米国人です。 >>660
https://youtu.be/2b-m9iZSz2E
do you feel higurashi voice just a noise? >>661
I guess I would say it depends. If I was in that forest, I would love it. But in that case, it's the entire experience.
If I had the wind and the smell of the trees and the sunshine, I would feel very relaxed and happy.
But listening to the sound on headphones at work? Yeah it just hurts my ears. why most of successful kid stars don't get taller after they grow up ?
I dont know why but, some would say that it is because successful kid stars
can not receive the venefits of growth hormone when they need it the most
for their activity as a much-in-demand actor. >>660
i work 50-60 hours a week
and i think that the situation i am in is pretty common for japanese salaried workers.
for the huge shift companies made in the last 10 years, that is the case with japan.
many salaried workers have been replaced with part timers at companies i have worked for. according to an online article, apple has stopped manufacturing and selling ipod nano and ipod shuffle.
i like that there are several options available to customers
but apple seems to have started narrowing the options down to only 1...iphone... >>665

Yas! My level is just 12. Difficult to kill enemy opponets with my skill yet!!!!!! I didn't come for a long time.
Now, I see a renewed soft design site overall. on saturday, when i travelled by train, i came across a lot of women wearing fashionable "yukata",
a japanese traditional outfit.
i wondered why at that time and later i knew that a famous firework festival was held on that day.
those women must have gone to see it.
but when i met them, it rained really hard.
the fireworks should've been put off by the rain... They just wanted to wear those fashionable yukatas and take tons of selfie pics and share those on instagram or something.
They don't give a shit about the fireworks for sure. >>670
I live in Chiba prefecture.
It was raining on Saturday, though I heard fireworks sound.
I wondered how they could managed to do.
Did you travel around Tokyo,or other area? >>659
Are you a junior high school student, or a high school student, or
a college/university student?
.....I wonder if there are abbriviations for these kinds of "students". >>660
Hello, I'm glad to see a native speaker.
In oreder to write something in English, no matter how short it is,
I need many many times to use online dictionaries or search engines
and get tired at all. >>673
I'm sixteen. I was sixteen. I'll stay sixteen forever. It might be better 18 or 20 though. >>673
I feel the same when I'm trying to read Japanese. I have to use a disctionary so many times! ughhh I don't want to do anything.
I can't stant such a climate,like taking a hot spring in the long time.
Anyway have you been to ICE-MONSTER in the branch of Tonyo?
As I was in Taipei on my business, I sometimes ate the saved ice（I want to ask what's called “かき氷“ in Eng?）with mango syrup, which is exactly dealicious and further cheap than here. Everytime I kill an oponent in スプラトゥーン, I almost reach an orgasm like "ざまぁぁぁぁwwwwww" lol Your comment is the worst boring.
Next. >>672
tokyo and kanagawa prefecture.
i encountered yukata women at tachikawa station or kawasaki station.
they looked very happy though it was pouring outside. today, on my way home from the factory, i went to a bookstore.
i picked up 2 comic books and took them to the cashier.
they cost me 1,192 JPY and i paid 1,202 JPY to the sales assistant girl at the cashier.
when she passed me a 10 JPY coin as the change, she tenderly wrapped her hands around mine.
it caught me by surprise.
her hands were warm... >>682
She does it to everyone. Don't be self-satisfied. >>680
What would you say? "most boring"? >>682
i think they mean to show a spirit of service
but overdo wwww Freshmen composition is very difficult! >< >>664
Yeah most people here don't work that much, but some do.
>>665
I've heard that but I haven't played it. Splatoon seems pretty popular on reddit.
>>673
You can say "middle-shcooler" and "high-schooler"but there is no shorter way to say a college student.
Or, you can say that a person is "in middle school" or "in high school" or "in college" but those are a different
part of speech.
>>674
I am the same when when I try to write in Japanese. It has been ten years since I studied it, so I forgot a lot.
Let me try to practice by writing this same thing.
私の日本語を書きるのことは同じです。十年前勉強しました。だから、よく忘れました。
If you want me to help you and correct your writing, you can tell me and I will help.
Your first two sentences are perfect. The last one has mistakes but I still understood so it is not that bad.
>>677
"Shaved Ice" is correct. I looked up the restaurant and it looks pretty tasty. I love eating those kinds of things.
>>684
"most boring" would be better, but even like that, your sentence is a little unusual.
If I was writing something like >>679 I would probably say the comment is pointless or stupid.
Or if I was saying it on an English website, I would probably use a meme and say "Your comment is bad and
you should feel bad." but that is probably more harsh than just saying that it's boring. >>674
I could never go to a Japanese website and talk to people all in Japanese. Your English is pretty good. >>682
That kind manner was not unusual in Showa era, unlike antibacterial overstating these days. >>682
sometimes a ossan does it to me. and you are an ossan, too?
if so, it's funny X) Only BBA does it to me. I prefer young women so I feel embarrassed. >>692
Im not the one.
I'd prefer BBA to you. Today I ordered a burger. I ate half and the girl from the kitchen came and said in Japanese that forgot to put cheese, and said sth else like let me wait for a while, and ran away.
So I stopped eating, waiting for my cheese. 5 mins later she came out with a new burger with cheese. .. I was suprised and said no no its ok, but she put the new burger on my table, took the half eaten burger and ran away... She may be abnormal.
It's Yandere. >>688
Your emoji looks like a dog.
I'm pretty sure you are the writing dog. >>696
She must have been told off by her boss. Poor her. >>689
Thank you for replying! I want you to correct any mistakes
I did. I feel I was wrong about the place of the adverb clause
"many times" in the sentence >>674 . Today I went to reddit (subreddit /r/anime) and
read somebody talking about the delaying of the streaming of
one episode of an anime .(....too many "of"s)
They seemed so furious about the provider (Amazon)
for not only delaying but also even releasing no announcement,
and emphasized how Amazon had lost their trust.
Someone said "I'm not going to pay for Amazon any more." i read an article about a vocalist from a band linkin park commiting a suicide,
so i just watched several music videos of linkin park on youtube.
he is gorgeous and has a beautiful voice.
i could sometimes understand what he sings in english.
even a super successful celebrity is deeply worried about something and decides to put his life to an end by himself... >>702
Definitely due to use of drugs. About 90% of successful musicians are addicted to drugs or illegal hemp.
The more they succeed, the more they ask drugs to indulge in pleasure. In the end pleasure would turn into depression and at the worst case they kill themselves. >>686
"kimoi" is my middle name, so criticizing me as "kimoi" serves as applause for my behavior in a sense.
>>691
umm, good old days...i feel that the japanese care about cleanliness too much
at the sacrifice of mutual (both physical and verbal) communications these days... I wish I had a laundromat near my house. They are so convenient. oh I have first time , "landromat". Isn't "coinlandry" English?
I use it to wash shoes , I jog 5km every day almost, there aren't
one with shoe washer near hear.
so I drive 3km to clean up them, but I like it, because on the way
there is a Book Off shop which use English books, very cheep Only 100 yen.
----please correctly rewrite if wrong --- >>696
You left out an important detail - was she cute?
I don't think I've ever had that happen. The service culture in America is different. If my food was wrong, I would
have to tell the waitress myself, but they would almost certainly make another one if I requested it. They might or
might not offer to make it again without me asking.
>>684
Oh I thought of another way to say >>679. You could say it was so boring that it made you fall asleep. That's a good one.
>>700
I would have said "often" or "usually" instead of "many times," but you are correct that it was in the wrong spot before.
You could write it like this:
I need many many times to use online dictionaries or search engines
I often need to use online dictionaries or search engines
or
I need to use online dictionaries or search engines a lot.
You could also use "many times" in the sentence above instead of "a lot" but it feels kind of formal.
>>701
You did all of those "of's" perfectly.
Some people take things a bit too seriously. Maybe he needs another hobby to distract him from small
things like that. On the other hand, if that is the biggest problem in that guy's life right now, things must
be pretty good.
>>705
Convenient compared to what? >>706
初めてその言葉 "laundromat" を見たことですか？
I'm a little confused so tell me if that is what you meant.
I can help you rewrite it. >708
thanks, yes that's it ! , In japan we say that kind of equipment is Coin Laundry.
I had thought that Coin Laundry was correct English.
when we use it, insert coin for 1 hour or more lent, then laundry begin to work.
I think this name is very fit with usage of that equipment. >>709
Maybe it's regional, but from my experience, the word is almost always "laundromat."
Maybe people in other parts of America, or other English-speaking countries, might use a different term.
Actually it's kind of interesting, because the sign on the building sometimes does say something like "coin laundry,"
but people don't really say that to describe the type of business. >>709
Oh I need to know something before I can rewrite it. Do you jog almost 5km, or you jog 5km almost every day? Almost 5km and almost every day, sometime 10km, sometime sleeping in bed. >>712
OK I can help you but I don't have time right now. I only come on 2ch at work, and it's time to go home now.
I'll be back around 1am, your time.
Have a great day :) i wonder why 4chan is so outdated style?
do i need to use some specialized browser to read them, like V2C at 2ch? >>682
”she tenderly wrapped her hands around mine.”
if foreigners experience this at a convenience store,
they are sure to get the wrong idea...ｗ >714
Thanks for your kindness, I 'm longing for it with my neck at full length. how do you say in English ,"waiting for with someone's neck at max length" >>714
you write in 2ch from England?
most of foreigners here write messages from outside Japan? >>719
How is it used in Japanese?
If it means to anticipate something, you could simply say “I anticipate your return,” or if you want to use an idiom then you could say “with bated breath” as in “I am waiting for you with bated breath” Do ”with bated breath” have meanings like anxious or nervous or suspenseful or something like that? It does. It is used for both anxious suspense and exciting suspense.
Whether it is used for one meaning more than the other one, I couldn’t give you a strong conclusion, but you will usually be able to differentiate between the two by context.
For example, if a teacher were passing out grades to an important test, the use of “with bated breath” to describe the feelings of the students would connote anxiousness or nervousness,
but if the winner of a contest was about to be announced then the use of “with bated breath” to describe the feelings of the audience or contestants would connote excitement or thrill.
Of course, these feelings do overlap so the differences are rather blurred. >>723
That make sense. Thank you for writing me so much. I'm always with bated breath whether or not I got a reply. >719
”首を長くして待っている。” is Japanese expression. >>720
What makes you think the guy is an English?
He always says he is from California, I bet. Somewhere, Igirisujin is enduring the humid summer. Of, does english people also suffer from humidity in their country? expression on my face is not very good tonight.
i can't remember the last time i laughed my head off.
i believe that "laughing only once is better than taking a medicine 3 times" should've been scientifically proved correct .
笑う門には福来る... The summer in the UK for the past couple of weeks has been
mostly pleasant. The highest is the low 20s and not much rain
(today is nasty though). I went back to Japan early July for the
summer holidays and I hated the weather there. >>726
really？
i thought i saw he said he is british here how is UK after Brexit?
they can get along good with countries on the continent? >>732
Since most of my friends are remainers,
they are very pessimistic.
Merkel seems to have decided to fuck the UK economy up
at all costs (even sacrificing their wealth). >>733
too bad,
but UK is in some way an outsider,
not in the group of Continent
a maritime state's destiny, i think. >>706
oh I have first time , "landromat". Isn't "coinlandry" English?

Oh this is the first time I have seen "laundromat." Isn't it "coin laundry" in English?
I use it to wash shoes. I jog about 5km almost every day.

it because on the way there is a Book Off shop with used English books for very cheap, only 100 yen.
English is flexible. If you want, I'll also write it the way I would have done it, if I wanted to say that stuff. >>719 >>725
I have never heard that before, but someone else already talked about it so there is not a
lot for me to add.
>>720
I'm American. >>726 is right, I'm from California. There is a British person here too (Or maybe a Japanese
ex-pat in England?) but I'm not sure who without looking through the whole thread. Maybe >>721 ?
I always use this tripcode so you can find me.
>>729
In English, we say "Laughter is the best medicine." I want UK to remain EU and keep its economy strong enough in order to avoid further serious WW3.
I'm in no position to say such a thing though.
Breixt is a good option for its people
to enforce its national defense until WW3 fully begin. I don't know enough about the UK and EU and the English political system to even have an opinion. >>738
jook氏, If you had to rate >>722>>737 what would you give it?
elementary? I don't know anything about >>737
For >>722, I would say that the explanation from >>723 is really good.
Personally, I feel like "with bated breath" is used for a hopeful feeling most of the time. >>739
After I posted that, I meant you were just asking me to rate the English.
There are mistakes but I can understand it with no problem.
It's hard to compare to a native-english child, because they learn differently than someone
who is learning a second language as an adult, and make different mistakes.
If I had to compare the writing to an American student, I would probably say the skill level
is like maybe 5th or 6th grade (around 11 years old probably).
There are some grammar mistakes but the words are good and I don't have any trouble
getting the meaning. I think my Japanese used to be as good as that, but I haven't studied in a long time so I forgot a lot.
I never took JLPT but 先生 said I was probably level 3.
English doesn't have a comparable proficiency rating that I am aware of. >>741
Thank you! Okay, I'm a elementary schooler. >735
Thaaaa-----------------------nk you very much!!!
I was tremendously astonished because my describe English almost is correct.
so I have had confidence of writing. I have of course had English course
on my school days for 6 years , but have forget all of them, it is nature
no chance to speak and read English in Japan.
Now we'll have Olympic game held in Tokyo next, so I try to become
good at English and start to learn again.
but reading only, I have not so much time writing and speaking moreover. For conveying held syllables in text, only the letters that are held are used, and
the use of “-“in this context is not something I could see a native speaker doing naturally,
so it would be “thaaaaaaaaaaank you” (thank you), “nooooooooooo” (no),
“ahhhhhhhhh” (ah), “sooorrrrrry” (sorry), "woooooow" (wow), etc. >745
Great! that make sense. I wondered how to write which is better 'thhhhhank' or
thannnnnnnk or thaaaaaank, then I decided to chose "thaaaaaa---------nk"
this is my original idea. >746
hey! Wipe the sweat off your brow. >>747
i think geminating vocalic letter should be the normal way in that case
geminating consonant letter doesn't sound right >>755
You are correct, it's almost always the vowel.
But I guess there could be times when you would do a consonant. It depends which sound you want to emphasize. >>750
what do you mean geminateing vocal ? you mean geminate vowel? I cannot find it in dictionary.
any way I get it, your are right, but I guess long consonant more emphasize surprising feeling than in case vowel.
you'll find that kind of expression in manga. but I don't know well about manga. >>752
sorry, i meant it as "vowel."
repeating vowel letter looks more natural than repeating consonant letter, doesn't it?
in Japanese
"きゃあぁぁぁぁぁぁ！"is more natural than "ききききききゃあ！" i am weak this summer such as catching a cold, thinking my skin is too white to endure summer sunlight in jpn.
i plan to go to 真田山 pool to tan my skin. I feel like I lost enthusiam and interest in English since I started working.
So tired everyday, I can't call up energy to read English novels, which was what I loved to do so much back in my university days. I heard it before. You must be really tired. Have a cup of tea. >>758
Hope that won't cause you mental breakdown. Yeah, I think I said it before.
I'm repeating fucking monotonous days. if you do something different when you travel between the office and your house,
you may change your monotonous days, say, dropping in at a strange store. >>758
But at least you still come here and write your feeling in English. This tells that you lost neither enthusiasm nor interest of learning English, actually. i am quite sure you can see more and more people wearing a white mask even when it is not the winter.
i wonder what they try to protect them from...?? They do want to cover their dirty nose and ugly mouth. Japanese are shy to show their face. That's true. They are called "マスク美人". Only good-looking when wearing masks. One more thing. Inside crowded train smells a little bad. It smells kind of おっさんの脂と汗の匂い。During the summer it smells worse than the winter. That is why people in Japan wear a mask at all season. Oh I've not thought of that.
In summer I use 汗拭きシート a lot. Are there this kind of thing abroad? I come here and post from time to time, but have no enthusiasm.
I don't think this thread has anything to do with enthusiasm. You guys talk about girls with enthusiasm. Yu Darvish bought a full page of advertising space in the Dallas Morning News.
https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rangers/rangers/2017/08/03/yu-darvish-says-thanks-rangers-fans-defends-himselfwith-full-page-ad-dallas-morning-news
Thank you very much for the past 5.5 years since 2012.
Coming from Japan, I could not have adjusted to the new environment if it weren’t for all the courteous fans, teammates, team staff and all affiliates who supported me. It is my biggest regret that I gave up 10 runs on my last outing as a Rangers.
There were a small number of voices that said, ‘Darvish only cares about strikeouts.’ Although I may have had strikeouts in my mind, fans, team, teammates and team staff were always my top priority.
Thank you very much for everything!
Please take care!
Yu Darvish Since I came from Japan, I could not have adjusted to the new environment if it had not been for all the courteous fans, teammates, team staff and all affiliates who supported me. >>768
Not that I know of.
I am a sweaty person and want to have あせワキパット in particular for
the situation that I have to wear suits in summer.
I also have never seen them outside Japan. Speaking of wearing masks,
I hope Asian guys stop wearing them in London underground.
That looks as weired as wearing burka.
I feel both should be interrogated as terror suspects.
By the way, this is funny:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/02/anti-immigrant-group-confuses-bus-seats-women-wearing-burkas/ >>766
Is that a real expression? That's pretty funny.
>>768
Is that a special item specifically for when you sweat, or are you just talking about the tissues that
people give out with flyers?
Anyway I've never heard of something like that here. I usually just wipe my face with my shirt.
>>772
That's a complicated sentence, but it's correct.
>>775
In recent years it has become a little more common to see people wearing those masks in America.
I feel like ten years ago, people would think it was really strange to see someone going around with a mask on.
These days, it's still not very common, but also not unheard-of, and people usually appreciate that it's
someone sick who is trying to to share germs.
Oh and that article is hilarious. >>776 should have said
someone sick who is trying NOT to share germs Masked beaty and the ossan.
Presented by Japan I wear mask, too. I am a middle aged full-time housewife.
In my case, wearing mask started just after the Great East Japan Earthquake
Days after the earthquake the nuclear power plant in fukushima caused
hydrogen explosion and we heard a rumor that the northern half of Japan
was exposed to radioactive material. Then Tokyo was coverd with masked people
I also did it..
Once I found that mask was very useful than I thought.
It could be used for other than protection against radioactivity (in fact it might be
not very successful ),
At first, in winter mask protects from flu and make me warm as much as scarf,
in spring, mask guards against pollen allergy (in Japan there are many people with hay fever. ),
but the most useful way for me was that I didn't need to makeup when going out
for wearing mask. It's great to save me the trouble of makeup
So I ssometimes waer mask even now (other than summer), although 6 years after the earthquick.
I suppose many Japanese also started wearing mask because of the accident..
(I thank someone to correct my mistakes in the upper sentence) >>764
I interprete thats a new type of ひきこもり族 who want to keep people away from them. I have read until 'I am a middle aged full-time housewife.'
I don't want to read anymore below it because I'm interested in young single woman, not in おばさん someone like you. >I wear mask, too. I am a middle aged full-time housewife.
You need an indefinite article ("a") for "mask" here.
>In my case, wearing mask started just after the Great East Japan Earthquake
Same here.
>Days after the earthquake the nuclear power plant in fukushima caused
>hydrogen explosion and we heard a rumor that the northern half of Japan
You need an "a" here for "hydrogen explosion."
>was exposed to radioactive material. Then Tokyo was coverd with masked people
>I also did it..
>Once I found that mask was very useful than I thought.
There are a few things wrong with this one.
First it looks like you were trying to use the "Once A [then] B" construction but left out the second part.
This cannot be done in English; you need the second part as the first part is describing why and or when the second part came to be.
Another thing wrong with this sentence is that "very" cannot be used for a comparison.
You need to use the comparative form of the word or, if there isn't one, use "more."
"A" is also need for "mask" here again.
>It could be used for other than protection against radioactivity (in fact it might be
>not very successful ),
You need an appropriate noun after "for" here (such as "things," "applications," or "problems").
"Things" would probably be the first word to come to mind so the sentence will become:
"It could be used for things other than protection..."
For the parenthesis, the order of "be" and "not" should be reversed, "at that" should be appended to the end, and
I would add "even" between "not" and "be" for emphasis. >At first, in winter mask protects from flu and make me warm as much as scarf,
You do not need "at first" at the beginning here.
You need an "a" before "mask," a "the" before "flu," and an "a" before "scarf."
"Make" should also be "makes" as "a mask" is singular.
"Does" should be appended to scarf as a scarf makes one warm and isn't a warm temperature itself.
>in spring, mask guards against pollen allergy (in Japan there are many people with hay fever. ),
"A" for "mask." I would pluralize "allergy" or drop it altogether.
>but the most useful way for me was that I didn't need to makeup when going out
>for wearing mask. It's great to save me the trouble of makeup
I would replace "way" with "thing."
"Makeup" isn't a verb in this context so use "wear makeup" instead.
Instead of "for wearing mask" use "while wearing a mask" or remove it altogether.
Replace "'s" with "was."
Use "for" in place of "to" and change "save" to "saving." Also insert "putting on" in front of "makeup"
>So I ssometimes waer mask even now (other than summer), although 6 years after the earthquick.
Delete "so," "A" for "mask," remove the comma before "although," and add "it is" between "although" and "6"
>I suppose many Japanese also started wearing mask because of the accident..
"mask" should be "masks" Does anyone here join a language exchange?
I'm wondering that some of you might love that kind of systems.
Such as ”lang-8,” ”conversation exchange,” ”Italki.”
If you used it, let me know how it was. I'm >>775
Coincidentally I got sick a bit today.
I wanted to wear a mask this morning but didn't
as I didn't want to be stopped by a police (just kidding).
Maybe this is kind of "バチが当たる" of making a derogatory remark against
religous people.
(I tried to find a proper english translation but couldn't find a decent one) >>776
Okay. Good to know that wearing maks is not as weired as I thought.
When I stay in Japan, some cashiers at retails shops wear it.
Maybe they were kind people who care others, but talking to them
made me feel very awkward... I am tired of talking about masked people.
What is next agenda? >>787
How about condom then? >>782
I appreciate that you corrected my English sentence. It was very helpful. Thank you. It is too late to convey word of appreciation. Get out of here! >>787
You know, it's Friday, so the obvious one is how you will spend the weekend.
I don't have anything special though.
I guess I should take a rest so that I'll be fully recovered by monday.
(I thought monday is a bank holiday but it's scots only, damn.) >>790

Welcome to the internet. I won, right? Because the opponent replied to me in Japanese. >>792
Can anyone tell me what the second sentence is? The first one is easy but I had to use a translator
for the second half and it didn't make any sense.
> Do not make strange crimes in Akihabara, kudzu
Was it slang? Kudzu is a plant, and I don't see what akihabara has to do with anything. Hanabi!! festival at yodogawa riverside in Osaka today. 500 thousand people come together.
We 'll be two of them with my girl friend. >799
this is slang, Kudzu means a small chip of wood not useful.
akiba ~ sentence means a murder case at Akiba few years ago.It was feared to have killed many. Yeah.
My current image for Akiba is a city of rampage killer, not Okaerinasaiase. >>801
Thanks, I get it. :) I used to be a real estate agent and one day I showed one of my customer from US one flat located on 13th floor of huge building in Tokyo.
He said that he likes its layout, condition, and rent, but he doesn't want to stay there only because of the floor number.
He continued telling me that he was first time seeing a room which is on 13th floor as there is no story between 12th and 14th floor in any buildings in his country.
I know the number of 13 is considered to unlucky number for somone in specific religion, but is it true that 13th floor doesn't exist in any tall buildings in whole western contries(Europe and North America)? (sorry for my awkward english) The major incident occurred about 10 years ago. Another Kudzu is japanese plant which is invading america.
It's called Greenmonster(´･ω･`)
Kudzu and Kudzu are homonym. Plant Kudzu is Chinese medical food , and macrobiotic use it, very expensive food. Kuzu just means "trash" or scrap in general. Not specifically wood chips. >>808
Is the meaning the same as scum in English? If you mean scum as in the scum of the earth, yes. If you meant a substance on the surface of water, it would be kasu.
Kasu and kuzu are generic swear words and can be used interchangeably. You can think Kudzu is piece of shit "generic words" might be bad English. I think it should have been "common" or something but I'm not sure. I don't want to work forever >>814
you don't need to work forever.
let's retire at the age of 60 or 65, shall we? I cannot survive if I retire at 65. I have no savings at all. I wish I won a lottery. I would immediately quit my job and then move to Hawaii and have a gorgeous life there. I don't work only for money. You do? don't you like to think, if you love to think, think how to make works fun,
so you'll find how to become working like pleasure in Hawai vacation.
I love thinking and Almost all parts of my job are to be thinking, so I love to work hard.
I have no saved money. spent all every get.
I need money until my death, but I love to work hard
so no problem of lack of money. I watched Degawa English for the first time.
I think seriously that his communication skill is wonderful and amazing.
Bad pronunciation, bad grammer, it does not become a big problem.
The language is only a tool for communication.
Of course I don't intend to stop learning :) I might be too afraid of making mistakes.
His push is great.
In my opinion, languages are not only tools but works of art though. In England, “Trump” means fart
really? It's funny. >>817
i remember i read an article about some report which reveals most of the people
who have won a lottery and got a fortune suddenly end up going bankrupt later... >>824
I am one of those types for sure. I immediately think about what items I should buy when I get a saralry. >>804
It isn't *every building* but it actually is pretty common for floor numbers to go from 12 to 14.
Technically, the 14th floor is really just floor 13 with a different name, but we pretend not to realize.
Personally, I think it's a dumb superstition, but you'd be surprised what can bother people.
I used to work as a cashier, and sometimes if somebody's total was $6.66, they would be kind of upset
and ask me to change something.
>>806
That's the kind of kudzu I was thinking of.
>>808
Thanks for that extra explanation. :)
>>813
It depends on the usage. If you say Kuzu or kasu as a random word like an exclamation
when you're mad, then "generic swear words" is perfectly fine.
>>817
I'm with you. I don't understand people who say they would still work. I only work so I can live like I want. If I had money
from some other source, I would travel first, and then buy a nice place in an area with the fastest internet I can get. >>821
I searched on google and I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3xluPX-Q_0
It was funny, but there is no way anyone was going to understand what he meant when he kept saying "very very sky."
I don't even know what that was supposed to mean.
This is funny for an English speaker because it sounds like "ass food," which is why the people were confused.
I assume that's not the joke in Japanese. Maybe somebody can tell me if there is more too it than just the people
not understanding.
>>823
I've never heard of that. I would say it's probably not true, because it seems like I would have heard something
like that at least from my british friends on facebook.
I could be wrong though.
>>824
I have heard that too. I think there are a couple of rules that would help, that those people probably didn't follow.
1: Don't tell everyone. Be very careful about who you tell because everyone will probably beg.
2: Hire a lawyer and and accountant before you do anything else. >>773
In Malaysia they are already gone actually. >>819
Maybe yes maybe not.... >>825
It's time to knock on Dr.Tomabechi when
you won. >>829
Idealy I want to work for developing myself. It will be very jot tomorrow. Be sure to drink occasionally. when i am cheerful, i work to try to contribute to the japanese society.
when i am relaxed, i work to make money to play and become happy.
when i am blue, i work just to survive.
i work for different purposes, depending on the situation. "all things third at thrice." is an old english saying
and when i saw this first, i was puzzled and dazed as i felt a word was followed by a phrase with the same meaning.
""third" followed by "at thrice"?? exceptional grammer??"
i almost spoke to myself in my room... Why do you write small i ? It is smelly like tiny i. In terms of superstition, four is consided to the unlucky number only in Japan. This is because we call 4 'yon' or 'shi' in Japanese, and this 'shi' has another meaning which is death.
This superstion is bit obsolete and few people care it, but I still sometimes see some apartments skipping room no.4 (ex #101,102,103,105) >>836
i didn't understand what you meant at first.
now i get it, your "i" represents a penis...the point is its shape...embarassing... >>835
"thrice" means three times. I have no idea what that expression is supposed to mean though.
This is the first time I've seen it.
>>838
I've heard of that before. I guess it's pretty much the same thing. >>826
>I don't understand people who say they would still work.
Some people are afraid of free time because they would realize they have wasted so much of their lives working without realizing it. There are also people who actually enjoy what they do for a living but they're less common. >>842
I can understand liking what you do, I guess I've never really had a job that I enjoy so much I would
keep doing it if I didn't have to work. I'm not sure what would qualify. Life is a game, works and pleasure and recreation and sad and fight, everything
are contained. of cause it include the death and fears. a new state cannot simply fall down from the sky ..instead it has to grow from within the people Today I was suddenly interviewed by TV media. I may be going to be broadcasted on this weekend. Why were you interviewed? Top 3 important elements of movies are jaws, vampires, and zombies. That's wrong. Drugs, guns, sex. >>849
Those are the elements what rock ’n’ roll is. Yo! Ask your questions, I am a foreigner. I don't understand these strange hieroglyphics, but I like them. >>841
the expression refers to "三度目の正直" in japanese, which means to succeed after failing twice. Americans are saying that Russia hacked the last year's presidential election. What do you think about it? >>855
I'm not interested in politics, but what can I tell u about this incident? mm.. In my opinion, world has gone made and suppose that this message are true - are u believing in it?
Russian government controlling my media. So, what do u think, if I saying that russian people say that this is not true? Who should we believe in this world?
Each country has its own propaganda or is't not so? It's better to consider the standard of living of the country and that country is good, where we can realize our mind for our life.
I can tell u about russian life - it's a funny life, *facepalm. I hope, that I could answer u. And what does Japanese media say about this situation?>>855 >>857
No, I don't believe it. I think this Russian conspiracy thing is complete nonsense.
The Japanese media mostly just repeats what the American media (like CNN) says,
but most people in Japan probably don't care about this matter at all.
Anyway, thanks for answering. I've played the famous game "UNDERTALE" recently without any translation MOD
but I can't understand the expressionss used at all...
I wanna taste the raw nuance of the text someday! Speaking of russians, I recently listened a podcast featuring the author of the book below and learned how scary russian origarchs/mobs.
https://www.amazon.com/Red-Notice-Finance-Murder-Justice/dp/1476755744
I won't do any business there but would feel unsafe if I'd visit there. I'm looking forward to the world cup soccer. I think it will be held in Russia next year.
Team Japan will play against Australia at the end of this month, and I think this game decides
which country will advance to the tournament. I hope they will defeat Australia and go to Russia. I will support Australia. I always support Japan's opponent. Don't worry, I am normal japanese people. I just hate japan team's soccer style. In other sports, I support japan. I'm interested in good looking russian boys and girls >>860
>I won't do any business there but would feel unsafe if I'd visit there.
If you are simple human in this country - it's a not scary. haha. Today I have learnt a few english vocablaries from Finalfantasy game.
•hibernation
•petrifaction
•salvation
I wonder these words above wolud be useful in real life. >>865
What do those words mean? >>864
That's what I thought.
>>865
"hibernation" could be used for "sleep mode" for your computer. Or if you
want to sleep very long time, you can say something like "I'm going to
hibernate today as I'm super tiread today and the weather is going to be
bad tomorrow."
As a non-religious guy, the only occasion I would use the term "salvation" is
"to donate something to the salvation army", which you can bring whatever
you don't need to keep it anymore but you think has a little value (not enough
value to sell).
I have never used the second term in my life. >>865 >>867
Petrifaction is another word for petrification, which means to turn into stone, like a fossil. >>866
•hibernation⇨冬眠
•petrifaction⇨石化
•salvation⇨救世
>>867
Wow, thank u so much. I try to use two of them in real life if I have a chance to.
The second term I have heard once in the movie Harry Potter. Potter called this word and spelled magic and the enemy got petrified. Now I realized. I'm going to hibernate until the time. When the time comes, I’ll get up and do salvation for people petrified. >>871
You can't "do" salvation, it's not a verb, it is a noun. You can grant someone salvation, or you can
be their salvation, they can ask for salvation, but you don't do it. I guess the verb would be "save." >>873
Dude I disappeared for like 5 years. Good to see you again. I hate smokers so much. They are detrimental. I don't hate smokers who follow rules. But I hate smokers who don't care non-smokers. i went to a local pool and tanned my skin. As I'm gettting older, I'm more concious about my health. I don't drink, smoke, eat unhealhty food anymore. You may drink a glass of wine. A moderate amount of alcohole is good for your health, I guess. Moderate drinkers live longer than either abstainers or alcohol abusers. This was found a few years ago. No longer superstition. I got some issues with my gamma-GTP reading in recent check-up.
I still drink but much less than I used to.
Also eat less salty food and do more excercise. It was a little cooler than yesterday but it's really humid today. Uncomfy enough. >>874 <3 ^^
JP is crazy <3 wwww >>879
Some recent medical researchs deny that.
They say there is no moderate amount of alcohol for healthier body.
Avoid drinking is the very best. >>887
Do you also believe moderate drinking is good for your brain?
I mean that will prevent you from suffering dementia. >>888
Donno about it, but anyway moderate drinkers live longer and stay healtier in general. It has been proved by official reserch. That's all what I want to insist. >>889
I have a question for you.
How can I tell the moderate amount of alcohol for a day?
Is is as same as yours?
First of all , How can you recognize the amount,
Just tipsy?
Did the findings mention of it? >>890
I've read articles like that, they usually say "one glass of wine" or something. >>891
What I wonder is a glass of wine means absolute amount for humans health.
Additionaly, little alcohol improves circulation, I admit.
But moderate exercise affect better to our body than alcohol does, I suppose. >>890
The proper amount ovbiously depends on an individual. If u think one glass of wine is too much, u should drink half of them or have a coulpe tastes of wine.
For me I am a kind of heavy drinker so I feel good with 2 glasses of wine or a 500ml can beer. I still don't get much drunk with this amount but can just feel relaxed and confy which leads me to deep sleep. >>891
I have no idea if they conducted servey but I reckon saying one glass of wine would be acceptable for most of peope. ＞But moderate exercise affect better to our body than alcohol does, I suppose.
Totally agree. No one would disagree to this. Thus this is not controversial. Drinking proper amount of alcohol is NOT bad habit. This is what I want to emphasize. We shouldn't talk about drinking in the same sentence that has smoking or eating junk food. >>887
does this site have enough scientic/medical evidence?
seems like this is alcohole related pages and so understandable to support drinkers. >>897
Yes it does. Please read them closely. >>898
is this a reprinte of review of scientic paper?
so tell the original paper. I understand a small amount of the drink helps circulation, which is benefitical however others than that I doubt helpful for the health. you must have experienced an acute, stinging headache when you eat ice cream.
this symptom was given an official medical name "ice cream headache".
very easy to understand. when the ice cream headache attacks you and if you want to get rid of it
one possible solution is licking up the inside of your mouth violently and make it warm. >>886
Medical studies are psuedo-science with a lot of dubious papers published annually
especially in mediocre journals.
You need to say which study you are talking about.
From my brief internet search, I found some papers which are inconclusive about the
benefit of low-volume drinking.
Like this:
http://www.jsad.com/doi/abs/10.15288/jsad.2016.77.185
Similar arguments are found here:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/add.13451/full
I've never thought about the selection bias for moderate drinkers' health benefits,
but that sounds a reasonable argument. The key of the second articule is that so-called
moderate drinkers are special types of drinkers, who might influence the over-estimation of
health benefit of moderate drinking. The group of drinkers are special in:
1. They are motivated enough to enroll in the medical study (so probably they are health conscious)
2. They might be physically stronger than others (as they haven't died because of drinking)
After all, I can't find a reliable source of deteriorating heath by low-alcohol consumption.
There is no definite evidence that even low-volume drinking is bad for your health,
so if you enjoy casual driking, why not? Basically, drinking moderately isn't interrelated with your lifetime.
Drinking can bring worse and better health at the same time.
You can choose whichever you like so as to relieve your stress. I don't want to be sick in the future but I don't want to live long at the same time.
What should I do? Hoepfully I'll be in a traffic accident or stroke and then die instantly. >>904
http://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2353
how about this paper?
as you say, medical results are often uncertain, so researchers usually check these impact factor.
you cite Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, which IF is 2.5
contrally, the paper i cited is BMJ which IF is 17.
the score shows the journal is important followed by nature, science, cell.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/dr7/archives/52177566.html
IF<3.0 is usually igonorable. >>908
There are three reasons I picked up these articules:
1. Both of them are overviews of the research field (i.e. meta-analysis or review articles)
2. Both articles discuss general health effects rather than specific diseases
3. Well-cited (especially the first has more than 50 citations received according to
google scholar although the publication was in 2016).
The paper you gave me the link satisfies none of them (citation count might increase
over-time though).
Regarding IF:
When I send papers to journals, of course I care about the journal's reputation, which can be
measured by IF. In that sense, IF is important, but IMHO it is not as important as the number
of citations when it comes to measure the quality of a paper. Good journals often publish
crappy articles, and these papers disappear without receiving much recognitions. >>909
the paper i picked is published on June2017, and yours are March2016 and June 2016.
these span is not understandble to get less citations than yours ?
i think usually researchers tend to cite major journals.
my citation's objective is
"whether moderate alcohol consumption has a favourable or adverse association or no association with brain structure and function".
the theme is related to "general health" enough.
and i cant understand 1. means. you choose review papar not regular article? is that important?
>Good journals often publish crappy articles, and these papers disappear without receiving much recognitions.
i dont think so.
in fact crappy aticles exists even at major journals, but more at minor journals,
thinking some journals accept so easily and speedy like BBRC. sorry
○these span is understandble to get less citations than yours ? >>902
We usually say "brain freeze" in English but if you say "ice cream headache" everyone will know
exactly what you mean. >>911
> these span is not understandble to get less citations than yours ?
Probably you didn't get but I said "citation count might increase over-time though".
"crappy" is a bad word choice.
By "crappy" I meant "not scientifically strong", by which I mean that the same design
cannot reproduce the same outcomes.
http://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on-reproducibility-1.19970
There are always the possibility of false positives, and since the research is expensive
expecially one with human subjects, false positive results can easily be published,
and never been falsified even when the true effect exists.
Still, there are different degrees of irreproducibility in the likelihood of getting the significant
results in additional analyses. Usually people in the field have a good sense of
this likelihood, and therefore, some outcomes, even these are ground-breaking in its face,
may not be mentioned by the future articles.
I know this is a big issue in psychology, but seems also the case for medical research.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182327/
For the definition of "general health", I don't think "brain structure and function" is
not a thing people would think as the effect of alchol consumption, but who knows,
maybe you are right.
Anyway, I'm no longer in the mood of typing words longer than 10 letters as it's friday.
Have a good weekend :) >>914
>"citation count might increase over-time though"
"might" is not but "must".
because my citation is also cited by CNN.
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/06/health/drinking-brain-changes-study/index.html
>I mean that the same design cannot reproduce the same outcomes.
yes. medical experimental results is often unreproducible so the researches engage replication annually, you know.
but why the phenomenon is applicable only for major journals such as Nature?
i admited even major journals publish false positives, but i said the possibility is less than minor journals.
even if a true discovery is published at a minor journal, storyline of the field must be formed at major jounals.
because every researchers (especially at out of his/her field) could not read every papers.
you dont explain about it, i think. I never will be good enough for her....I know she never like me...but...I cant give up...am depressed It's important to give up on some occasions in life you know
Just gave my two cents worth... Today Im gonna ask her to go for coffee with me. If she decline, I will give up. I determined. Whites are dangerous.

is this a average american dinner? Yas. Their bodies are composed of chips, chocolates, cola, burgers. I went for coffee with her. I was too nervous and couldn't speak much. Relax. She agreed and went with u. that's where most of the young couples started their own special precious relationships. Why doesn't Sunnybrown have Japanese name? Why don't you ask him in person? >922
I want to know how breakfast and lunch are?
there are no green foods. Kellog's cornflakes and vitamin/mineral supplements. i like to go to bookstore and check/buy various types of books.
one thing i am curious about is why only comic books are protected(?) with "vinyl-wrapping".
hardcover is not wrapped with that transparent vinyl and paperback or small-sized book is not, either.
many magazines are tied up with strings but the purpose for this is to tie those magazines with some attachment packagings tightly.
comic books are not sold with such attachments... >>913
it's an interesting name. I'm really wondering what the hell Americans eat on a daily basis. I mean do they even cook?
My stereotype is that they eat order delivery foods like pizza or frozen ready meal or just go to a reastraunt like KFC. Kellog's cornflakes and supplements. Osprey is translated in japanese as "オスプレイ" and a often called as "雄プレイ（gay play）" at 2ch.
so a comiket circle published gay manga between Osprey, that is a superb japanese hentai wonder.

I feel rather depressed today... Why don't you write more long essey in english?
it would be hopeless at English that you only write meaningless short message here. Thank you but I just talk to myself. Pls ignore me. sorry, i didnt mean to actually tell you only, but everyone here. it is generally said that Japanese students need to improve their ability to think mathematically and write long essays in English.
just write a long sentence whatever you want to write in English >>941
long sentence is disguise even if in japanese.
havent you heard "3行でまとめろ"? Otherwise, you are a perpetual beginner sorry.
○ long sentence is disgusting But if you don't have anything to write for that length, what's the point of doing it?
And, if you really think we should, why don't to be the first? >>946
here is an English board even though it is 2ch
I can't say I am good at english but I try to write a long english sentence as much as possible >>915
I don't think I cite an articule because of the fact that it was featured on the popular media.
> because every researchers (especially at out of his/her field) could not read every papers.
I don't know why you think I said we should read all papers in all fields,
but I think we should read everything relevant for your research.
Fortunately, my field is small enough that I can read (or at least skim through) them.
> you dont explain about it, i think.
I don't get this. What do you mean by "it". >>949
if you dont try to improve your english skills
Japan will end before too long in such a dog-eat-dog world, i think im tired to persuade you ( ´Д｀)=3 >>940
Can the Japanese feel depressed? wow. >>955
What do you mean? Anyone can be depressed. Nationality doesn't matter at all. >>956
By human nature - yes, i'm sorry. But in terms of the mentality of the country I thought differently. So, you think that the japanse are unlikely to get depressed, right? Then open Google and Serch for the rate of suicide in Japan. You will see how they get depressed so easily. I am depressed because I can't afford Kellog's cornflakes. Only in 2chan, 'rn' is unreadable. I read it for 'm'. Which place in Russia can you see many pretty guys/gals? In Russia? I have no idea. That is out of my range but just go to Moscow, the capital. You may see some. >>957
はぁ?
Japanese are depressed people. >>921
Well, French Fries aren't typically a dish you make at home, but if this is at a restaurant, that steak
is REALLY BIG.
American dinner usually has some sort of protein as the centerpiece, so this could be an average
dinner for some people but it's a pretty big portion.
>>935
The thing is America is huge and diverse, and people eat lots of different things. Personally, I have
sushi more often than hamburgers.
Some people cook, some people don't. I do feel like it has gotten less common for people to cook.
Lots of people eat out all the time, or buy prepackaged food. I've been trying to cut back because
it's way more expensive than cooking for yourself.
It's really hard to make generalizations about 300 million people spread across 3.8 million square miles. >>966
That's almost 10 million km² >>965
はぁ?
In English: Huh? I think はぁ？ and huh? are a little bit different. Maybe you can just say 'what?' Instead. >>969
"Huh?" shows confusion. You'd usually say it if you don't understand or you didn't hear the speaker.
You can also use "What?" in those situations, and it's a little more polite (only slightly). >>969 >>970
I feel like はぁ? is more like disbelief, but I could be wrong,, I'm not Japanese. If that's right, then
you wouldn't really use "Huh?" in the same way most of the time. はあ？contains feeling of rebellion. Usually use this word with anger. Although you clearly understood what the speaker said, you can still answer はあ？immediately when you want to take a hostile attitude to him/her.
はぁ？doesn't show any confusion but show kind of dissatisfaction. This is different from 'huh?' And I reckon 'What!?' Could be used in those situation in English conversation.
Here it is sample below.
Women: I'm leaving you. I love Bob more than you.
Man: What!? You kidding me! I think ”はぁ？” means "Excuse me?"in English No it doesn't at all. Completely different. You're right. "Huh" wouldn't be used in that case. "What?" works, especially if you add the ! like >>973.
However, "what?" isn't always like that, so you would have to pick it up by context when you're reading,
or tone if someone is speaking.
>>975 >>976
That actually can work sometimes, like in the example from >>973. Again, you have to pick it
up by context or tone. Because you could also have something like this:
Doctor: I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but she didn't make it.
Man: What?! You're kidding me!
In this case it's disbelief and despair, instead of anger even though it's the same sentence. "Excuse me?" said with a forceful tone can mean the speaker understood the previous statement but felt that it was inappropriate, but the phrase feels as if the speaker is speaking down to the listener like a parent to a child.
A: "Ow, shit!"
B: "Excuse me?!"
Here speaker B is calling out A's use of profanity by indirectly saying that he or she must have misheard A as A would never use such language even though A was very much understood. I often watch American movies with Japanese subtitles. on Sky PerfecTV
I have seen many times that ”Excuse me?”was used like 2ch language "はぁ？" >>977
Thanks for good explanation. I learnt a lot from you. I hate know-it-all zakos like 976 Shall I build a new thread? What do you do?
I'm NEET. Then you build another thread please. You must have a plenty of time. We count on you. hey,i wanna talk about one of filmmaker.

You're welcome. :) Recent study shows that foods made by wheat harm human body. So I eat rice every meals rather than bread, pasta, or pizza. I eat rice and noodle everyday Today I will ask that girl to go out for dinner. Can anyone suggest me a nice, sweet phrase? I am a low!
Right here right now I am a low! >>995
