Wish I put more effort in learning Japanese. I know like... a bunch of random words, but like with most languages, I don't know crap for verbs or grammar. Probably because I struggled with even Grade 1 Kanji beyond numbers.

I think "why is that" sounds better than "how come" or just "why".

Another approach is to incorporate context into the question.
What is the cause of...
What is the reason for...

To a boss, I would definitely say "Sure, but why do you ask?" or something. "How come" isn't always going to come across as polite.

He thinks vaccines cause autism.

No, I don't feel the need to argue about conspiracy.

You really needed to delete your whole comment to do this?

I used to hate learning. I didnt like the G. W. Bush-era; then I grew up.

I don't watch conspiracy films no matter what their political affiliation.

I guess Japanese is interesting here because there are so many more ways you can respond than in English. Or maybe my inexperience with the language is just making me think that there is.

I don't watch conspiracy theory movies.

The whole conspiracy theory you believe in is an unproven allegation. No one has proven or provided evidence it should be taken seriously. I don't care if you edited your comment.

Depends on context and the situation.

It definitely depends on the situation. Lets say its your boss asking you to do something, and you want to know why it is that you are doing it; for the sake of experience.

That's not how it works. You guys have to prove your allegations.

You wish people cared just as much about an insane conspiracy theory as they do about human rights? That's.. Really fucking weird and telling on yourself.

or

roe was necessary because of conservative white men wanting to control women like they used to

and have literally

said as much

if people stopped trying to tell women what they can or can't do with their bodies while putting no onus on them for the reverse, then there would not need to be any legislation

so no, it should not be there.

I have no idea what this thread was about, thought when entering this thread, and happened to see you post in Japanese.

To say the least, I am lost.

"For what" sounds short also, yes. I would be most likely to say "I'm in the middle of something, can it wait?" ...or just walk over without saying anything. It depends a bit who's asking, though.

And the point of my example was really to point out that the phrase doesn't really make sense, which is an occasional pet peeve of mine. :)

"How come" sounds a bit argumentative to my ear. Worse, the words don't make sense.

"Come over here"
"How come?"
"....walk, I guess?"

No I mean that was my answer

Why come

Why come

That looks like Canadian bacon.

in canada we cannot carry any object of any kind for purposes of self defence. just saying "I have this to defend myself just in case" will get you in trouble.

Before heading to Canada just be aware that gas prices are PER LITRE not gallon.

I was so ready to move until I found that out.

Stay away from Toronto. Most unaffordable city on earth if you compare wages to housing cost

Gotta have that last word just to show your ignorance? Got it.

And when you can't even remotely begin to refute what was said...

Cool way to try to deflect your ignorance into something I wasn't talking about. But you do you.

Here's a hint: I never even remotely advocated or said either was acceptable.

So, what you're saying is you don't know what the definition of riot or insurrection is. This scans considering your usual political literacy.

This is a weird interpretation of Canadian law. You have rights to self-defence.

Self-defence against unprovoked assault
34. (1) Every one who is unlawfully assaulted without having provoked the assault is justified in repelling force by force if the force they use is not intended to cause death or grievous bodily harm and is no more than is necessary to enable him to defend himself.
Extent of justification
(2) Every one who is unlawfully assaulted and who causes death or grievous bodily harm in repelling the assault is justified if
(a) they cause it under reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm from the violence with which the assault was originally made or with which the assailant pursues his purposes; and
(b) they believes, on reasonable grounds, that he cannot otherwise preserve himself from death or grievous bodily harm.

It seems people interpret in Canada that we 'don't have a right to self-defense' based on cases like Gerald Stanley shooting Colten Boushie - which I don't agree with. Guy shot a kid that was stealing his ATV - not justified. You're allowed to fight back if someone is assaulting you.

REmake4

7 months for absolutely nothing.

seems weird. I have friends who live in China who I speak to nightly on Discord and they don't have to "sneak online" lol

When are they making Fruit by the Mile?

Mostly because I just want to see what it is actually like.

People in America act like it's some awful place, but I have never met a single person who lives there or has visited there that can confirm any of the anti-chinese propaganda we are told. In fact, most people who have been/lived there will say most of it isn't true.

It only rhymes because it's true. Why else would it rhyme?

Actual Rainbows, or the "we left a colour out of the symbol that is supposed to represent inclusion"-Rainbows?

Prison here at leastbwhere i work is an adult daycare. Yeah they gotta follow rules and shit but so do kids in school and if they got decent parents at home too. Most have jobs but it ain't required unless they just badly need to fill a position. Which is rare cause they usually want jobs. It helps reduce their sentence and the food is barely tolerable so they wanna be able to buy stuff from the canteen. These motherfuckers know how to make some shit with what they can get thatblooks and smells amazing.

I've only ever had 1 of many ways of making prison Ramen aka swol at my unit. Shits good. Had a friend that spent a few months in the slammer

Really the only punishment is when you get an officer that wants to be petty. And honestly most of us are too lazy to be petty.

First time in 3 years I decided to pull this one petty stunt. What you do for this one is wait for them to be good and asleep. Wake them up tell them to submit to a search. Have them strip searched then tear through their property. Confiscate even the pettiest of contraband. (For me it was a bunch of permanent markers and the bags they use for transfering) leave all their shit on their bed and walk away (we usually are nice enough to put their stuff back) took dude a hour to put all his stuff back. Specially since I took his bags he had most of his stuff in. Had to figure out how to arrange his stuff now half asleep

it's weird to have this one arm and hand that is excellent at everything

but your other one is dogshit at doing anything

This was week ago, why is this topic still alive? Lol

Then again, why the need for Wi-Fi? Just read an eBook or take a nap

I'd be ok with this on two exceptions. You still served time but got a special marking on your I'd saying you can't purchase booze. They'd still get it sure but hopefully it would make it hard enough they don't drink as often. Then if they do anything illegal again drunk they get the book thrown at them for it and the original crime.
