No you don't feel them at all if they're in properly. Definitely don't sleep in them, but I've showered with contacts hundreds of times without incident.

I get it it just fucking eats at me I want to know what happened or why just tell me Im a cringe loser and thats pathetic that would be better than in the dark

im fucking petrified to send the next text and if u never get a response back I will call or reach out two weeks with a hey what did I do wrong or something

I fucking csnt enjoy my Jrpgs , stream it just pathetic and its my damn fault

if she is indeed done with it youll never know why. Unless she tells you (which she probably wont). You might have an inkling but with things like this you can think about and analyze it all day and night and never know the true answer because its unknowable. Its better to just accept it and move on. Way easier said than done I know, I went through something similar recently.

If its only been two or three days since youve last heard from her I would probably wait a day or so more before sending it. But ultimately it doesnt make a huge difference I guess and youre the one who knows her and your guys communication style.

If you want to leave things off with the door open Id just send a casual text saying you havent heard back and hope all is going well, and to hit you up sometime. I wouldnt invite her over. And Id probably wait another week or so before sending that (I think I read its been two days? Its not that crazy, she could still reply). She does know you want to talk to her already though. This is more for your peace of mind/closure.

Then after that dont contact her again unless she does so first.

Yeah I mean youre basically eating bugs anyway

Should I watch the movie before playing the game?

Dead for now. One of my friends actually asked me out recently. I always thought she was cute and we got along really well, so why not try it? So I said yes obviously. We went on a couple dates and I was happy about the possibility of it turning into something. However she told me she wanted to stop dating (nothing happened beyond kissing which we obviously hadn't done as friends). Insisted it was nothing I did or said, all on her, but now she doesn't speak to me.

It's so weird, kind of wish this never would've happened so I'd at least still have my friend to talk to. However I know I have to forget about her and move on. This situation really does ruin friendships, I guess.

I like a mix of them and actual cutscenes. Mgs5 was way overboard on them.

But overall theyre better than just text logs. Resident Evils text files were always pretty good though

If this girl knew youd created a thread on the internet asking strangers about how you should behave i think shed be mortified.

Maybe but good thing shell never know.

You need to find someone that knows both of you to have any meaningful insight into this situation. Taking advice from anonymous people on CE might be the single worst thing you can do.

Yeah, you can get some decent general advice sometimes but keep this in mind. You need someone who knows both of you and your personalities (a mutual friend maybe?) to get really good advice truly tailored to the situation.

Also I feel like certain posters on CE are really mean/harsh to people looking for relationship/dating advice. I feel like they come into topics looking for excuses to laugh at or make fun of the person seeking advice.

Yes but not nearly as much

It's pretty much just DBZ , Pokemon, Yu gi oh, Naurto etc

You won't find many people who have seen Sgt Frog or Full Mental Alchemist

Go to Collectomania or London Film and Comic con and you'll see more people dressed as John Marston than Goku

Sounds like a nation of casuals.

They watch anime over there in the UK?

I find it weird how much Internet people like to talk (brag?) about ONLY drinking water. Is it because of that one Reddit group? Like someone makes a topic about soda and people will comment saying well I wouldnt know, I dont like that unhealthy sugary shit, I only drink WATER!.

Anyway in this scenario if I was forced to only be able to pick one drink for the rest of my life Id pretty much have to pick water, but still.

I dated a Muslim girl very briefly. She was only like maybe 50% religious at most (hence dating me, a non-Muslim) but I think I probably would have had to convert (or revert as she would say) in order for it to actually get serious. Honestly I probably wouldve done it >_>

But in all seriousness I probably couldnt handle Ramadan.

I feel like I've been hearing about scientists reviving the woolly mammoth soon for about 20 years

EDIT: lol I made this reply without even reading the full OP and didn't see you thought the same thing.

I'm looking to do the same thing, except I dug out my old PS2 when I moved and also bought a CRT from some old people off of Facebook Marketplace. Just a warning, some of these games are stupid expensive now.

The only word I definitely hate for it is poon

Truly an unpopular opinion

Manwha and webtoons all look incredibly generic and boring, and to my understanding this is based on one

USians will never be a thing in English no matter how much you try.

I tried one of them once on PC back in like 2009 and couldnt get into it. It seemed like one of those games people like the idea of more than they like actually playing it.

If Mexicans TRULY loved Toriyama, you would cancel that soccer game too.

The answer is Yes, not fucking "maybe".

A lot of the reports on civilian casualties come from straight from Hamas, who shouldnt exactly be a trustworthy source. I did say it appears that they are. However I dont think anyone here or commenting on this on the Internet are actually closely examining their military operations with full knowledge of all civilian casualties, etc.

However no matter what its not a genocide.

Is Israel causing excessive civilian casualties in their campaign against Hamas? Maybe, it seems like it based on what Ive seen, but I cant say for certain without closely examining the war situation. Is this irresponsible and maybe evil depending on your point of view? For many people Im sure it is.

However, its not a genocide. Its just not the right word to use. Just like how random school shootings arent necessarily terrorism. Words have meaning and nuance.

All throughout middle school, my parents had some BS cable package that split Cartoon Network with some generic sports channel. No idea why it did that. It would literally change in the middle of the day. I would still watch DBZ at my grandparents house (which we were over at often, but not enough for my full DBZ fix) but I wanted so badly to watch it at home too. Same went for Toonami and Adult Swim in general.

One time I remember an episode of DBZ being on in the morning for once at home and being hyped at being able to watch it, then it literally blinked out and switched to golf in the middle of Goku talking lol. Eventually we got a different cable provider once I got to HS and I still remember watching that first glorious Inuyasha episode at home, lol.

Just a random DBZ memory/story, RIP Toriyama

It would probably just make it creepier because shed leap down onto you or something.

Im not sure exactly but I was pretty young. Maybe 5th grade-ish which wouldve been around 2000-2001.

Why is it considered a negative to affirm Israel's right to exist...? I get that it's mostly performative, but Israel has a right to exist. And pointing it out as a negative only goes to bolster the viewpoint of people who think pro-palestine means wanting to eradicate Israel.

This, more or less. Israel isnt going anywhere and from the river to the sea!!! is a fairly extremist position. If thats what you decide to fight for and judge people by, well then youre doomed to lose and nobody is ever going to be good enough for you as the vast majority of non-fringe politicians with actual influence arent going to advocate for the dissolution of Israel. Its basically just you and other online leftists at that point. And we know the latter loves to not vote and act smug about it.

I wouldnt mind it getting banned. Its basically a massive platform to spread misinformation and I believe its controlled by China? I dont have any faith that they arent trying to fuck over rival countries any way they can.

for all you know the deal would end you right then and there, though.

If I'm going to die within the amount of time I'd be willing to do this for (4ish years?) might as well just die now.

I dont think its weird to be annoyed about a store having no employees in the building so you cant actually buy anything if one guy is out for lunch and closes the store during lunch time, not really a big deal but still weird. Yes the store should have 2 people so one can man the store while the other is out.

Yes, exactly. Throwing a fit because this (completely reasonable) stance is somehow anti-worker is the most CE thing ever. Just needs a landlord involved in the story somehow.

It helps living there.

Just gonna tell you though, JLPT isnt indicative of actual Japanese language. It is just a gatekeeping method to keep dirty foreigners away from Nipponmen jobs. The kanji used, the phrases, it isnt a reflection of the real world.

And if you think thats stupid, wait until you see their English tests.

JLPT isnt special or rare Japanese in any way. Its just ordinary Japanese. I see the grammar points that pop up on N1 all the time in actual native material. And the reading passages are all actual editorials and opinion pieces from Japanese publications. The only thing thats kinda unnatural on it is probably the listening portion.

I've got this book of the 2000 most used Japanese vocab words which I'm working my way through. I've heard the recommendation of learning vocab instead of kanji from others too, so that's what I'm trying to do. Can you recommend some good very basic beginner manga to start with for vocab and sentence patterns?

Yeah that is a good thing to go through to have some basic knowledge to aid you in starting to read. No matter what its going to be a bit painful at first starting manga, but with that it should make it not TOO bad.

My recommendations would be Yotsuba&! (this first) and Ika Musume (this second as its a small step up in difficulty) for being about as easy as it gets for manga. It helps that Yotsuba is genuinely great and entertaining. Once you go through these two Id just try any shonen manga that looks interesting. I did To-Love-Ru and then Nisekoi. Neither were too hard.

Eventually once you read enough manga you might want to move to visual novels.

100% agree. They talk super fast and theres so many verb conjugation forms and vocab that you lose sight of the bigger picture sometimes. N1 is super impressive though! 2000 kanji is no small feat!

Im not sure what the current meta among online Japanese learners for kanji is, but back when I started (about a decade ago now that I think about it) the general consensus was to not take time to study kanji individually, but rather learn actual vocabulary words (which usually consist of multiple kanji, usually two or three) and gain familiarity with kanji that way. It worked decently for me. Its rough at first but as you learn more vocabulary, you see the same kanji popping up in different words and youll get a sense of what the individual kanji mean that way. Obviously if a kanji is a word on its own, youll study that one individually.

It was also encouraged to start reading native material right away and not spend too much time on learner materials beyond the basic building blocks to be able to read (grammar, some basic vocab). The way you get the vocab to study is to mine them from native material like manga or games and study them in a program like Anki, or make flash cards, or whatever works for you. Id suggest easier manga starting out.

all in all these methods worked decently for me. Im not a Japanese master by any stretch of the imagination but it got me up to N1.

oh and for listening its tough no matter what. I would suggest easy anime like something SOL, then work up to harder stuff.

Ive been studying it, I got JLPT N1 about three years ago but I kind of fell off on improving my skills. Ive been wanting to jump back on it. Lately Ive been lazy and just been watching subbed anime again without really trying to understand the spoken Japanese.

Listening is the toughest part, IMO.

As long as I'm well compensated, honestly none provided it's not something obviously comically evil like pressing a button to turn live cats into shampoo or something.

Nope, not at all. Never had to go to church once. My dad was/is conservative but not a religious/Christian conservative.
