German "halb acht" only refers to time tho.

The whole post looks like "I need animals as a means of moneymaking. I have no capital to start with, and my plan is to lock them in cages for reproduction, to then sell the offspring, while hoping they live long enough and are cheap enough to make me enough cash to make it worth it". Basically a hobo breeder-model built on exploitation with zero regards for the animals.

People like that have to be kept from having pets. Or kids, for that matter.

People like that shouldn't have pets.

I'm an indie author, and all my novels ended up on PDFdrive.

Not that I'd be mad about it. If someone pirates my books and likes them, maybe they'll support me in the future.

Just saying, I'm not wearing suits. I'm working full-time and write when I have off and got the time and energy.

For us Indies, getting eyeballs on our books is next to impossible anyways, so I already gave up on the idea that writing will ever be more than an expensive hobby.

Many European language versions of anime and games are being localized not by translating the original Japanese, but the English.

Lots of translators also seem to use Google or DeepL, which makes the issue even worse.

The English language version often don't even translate, they write their own version, calling it "creative liberty". This leads to a completely different version than what was intended, with others, such as the German or Spanish version, being even further from the original.

That's why claims of people of having "learnt Japanese from anime" are dubious in the best of cases.

Source: Am Japanese, working in game translation in Tokyo. I'm also trilingual, which makes it even worse to watch this. Ignorance is bliss.

If they're unrelated, why do you bring it up?

He did mention he's an English native, though, he'd likely butcher the pronunciation so it sounds like Fat Cherries 😃

 

Hello,

I'm the mod of Japanese Metal. For a few days now, the community appears empty to me, both on Liftoff and my browser on my desktop. Edit: it's fine if I view it on my lemm.ee account, but that's not optimal.

What might be the cause, and how do I fix it? Anyone with a similar problem?

Thanks in advance.

The fuck are you trying to say here? I'd like you to clarify your statement.

I'd like to decide for myself what I want to see and what not, as an adult.
