Not too bad. Fruit bagels are a thing, damn it.
I've seen bagels with a specific fruit flavor like blueberry or apple but never just a generic "fruit" flavor bagel.

Figuring out edger took me more time than the rest of it put together.
I got it quickly enough but only because those were the only letters left and there were only a few combinations that could possibly be a word. I've never heard of an edger before either.

Id take the $100 million today, and then donate like $80 million of it to charity, as its already too much money for me.
I'd give like $40 million to family and close friends, keep $10 million for myself, and give the rest to charity.

It's still there, but you need to go to your own profile and tap general settings. The auto-play option is in there. I think you did use to be able to change it in the settings on the video, but not anymore.

I don't think it's possible to get rid of auto-play completely because a lot of countries have laws against it for minors. I'm pretty sure it's still turned off by default for accounts owned by people under 18.

If the issue was you putting them in the dryer, then just say you'll put them in a hamper from now on. If that was what she wanted, then she's justified in being somewhat annoyed but she should also acknowledge it was partly her fault for leaving it in the washing machine all day. Say you'll put the wet clothes in a hamper or something and that's it.

If she just expects you to leave her clothes in the washing machine and put your own laundry on hold, then she is 100% wrong and unreasonable, and you should just get out of that house ASAP if you can afford it.

The kana is completely different. The words themselves use the same pronunciation.

Check the videos to see what I mean:

pronounced "sh"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Cd_KNm67E

pronounced "sh"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afxBS3YWel8

Then in the latter video when they break down the individual kana, you can clearly hear pronounced as "he" but in the full word it's "sh"
They're not the same. Your ears (or technically the language structures in your brain) just aren't trained to hear the difference. To a native Japanese speaker, and sound very different.

It's just one of those things that will come naturally with practice. Especially if you make an effort to pronounce them properly yourself.

I'm gonna need some more explanation than this because the in () / (ashita) sounds exactly the same as the in
It's really hard to explain how to move your mouth during pronunciation just by explaining it. But I'll try.

Japanese and English h (as in "he") are identical.

One difference between English sh and Japanese that in English, when you say sh you slightly purse your lips, but you don't with .

Another difference is that when you say your tongue should be closer to the front of your mouth than sh. When you say s in English, your tongue is right behind your teeth right? Try putting your tongue slightly behind where you put it for s and that should make it sound more like Japanese .

To practice, try saying words that use the characters into Google translate or some other voice recognition software. Like maybe try saying... () meaning "scalp" and () meaning "investment."

I kind of wish there was a minor difference in the kana to let me know which one I was supposed to use like /
I really don't get what you're saying here, shi and hi are completely different kana.

I don't know why it used that hint. I tabbed out and when I came back, it was highlighting a word.

This was a weird one, I found half of the words nearly instantly, but I had no fucking idea what the theme was until I found the spangram.

I don't know Jewel myself, but Brandy was fairly big in the 90s. I personally remember her for being in a truly race-blind Cinderella adaptation.
Jewel was also huge in the 90s. I'm surprised there are people who remember one but not the other.

I also find it funny how the gatekeeping gamers like to say "casuals" as a noun. It really feels like they're trying to use it as a slur sometimes. That, and they don't want to say "casual gamers" because they don't consider them "real gamers."

I find that hardcore gamers tend to be way more likely to spend money on skins and pre-orders. The stuff is marketed at them because they're willing to spend more. Casual gamers want to spend their money on other hobbies and entertainment.

Something that really fucking kills me with pronunciation is the implied consonants. reading (hitori) is pronounced "shtori"
(hi) and (shi) are not the same. To an untrained ear they may sound similar, but if you get accustomed to saying them properly and hear more native speakers talking the difference should become obvious.

"Endearing" is the wrong word. What that story is trying to convey is, unlike the feckless vegan snowflake liberals who are scared of guns and American values, she's capable of making the tough decisions needed to be seen as a good leader in a conservative hierarchy.

It also might be intended to imply that she's gonna be coming for antifa and the groomers and the fentanyl dealers and the [insert minority group that you hate here].

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Well in order to have a really successful business, you need both. Someone to think of and create something great, and someone to market and sell the idea. It's very rare to have someone who can do both.

If Wozniak had never met Jobs, he would have either slaved for some big corporation and made them billions while getting paid maybe a few hundred thousand a year, or he would have put his brilliant ideas out in the public and some other guy would have ripped off the idea, sold it to another company, and made their own version of Apple Computers without paying anything.

So in spite of the shitty treatment he got, Wozniak is probably lucky that he worked with Jobs, because otherwise he probably would have been screwed over even more.

When I did go to public restrooms it was with my dad and I didn't really look at how adult men were peeing. It had never occurred to me to do anything but pull my pants to my ankles when I peed.

I still remember EVERYONE laughing at me the moment I did it. I had never been so embarrassed before that. Of course I never did it again but I still feel a tinge of shame when I think of it.
