I know this is slightly irrelevant (?), but lately I've realized how many people consider childhood the happiest period in their lives. They argue that unlike adulthood, they didn't have many responsibilities, didn't worry about anything but occasional tests, and had their friends and family providing them with unconditional love. Meanwhile I got screamed at for even just getting B's in school, had no friends for years because of being bullied by nearly the whole class, had to deal with a judgmental mother with an unpredictable temper, and a father who was mostly absent because of work and turned out to be a cheater. I mean, back then I didn't realize how awful my family situation truly was, as an innocent, naïve child, but now there is no longer anything I want more than the autonomy and freedom of being an adult.

It is sad to think that I've missed out on a childhood that nearly everyone else enjoyed, and I am left craving a state of being that most people consider more painful than being a child.

Reminds me of SSSniperwolf.

Catgirls (and boys) are adorable, but to be honest, to think of them as pets to own, and also do uncouth actions with, is pretty fucked up.

To think that Nekopara exists, being a visual novel that revolves around that very idea... (⁠;⁠;⁠;⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠)

Real catboys probably would want to be put out of their misery.

God-tier shitmeme.

Think my christian grandma will like this.

B-b-but fish is so good!! I like it more than chicken or beef actually... Especially if it's in sushi (´┓`*)^drool~

じゃぁねぇ、英語で話したくないならこのようにもできるよ。確か日本語が話せるでしょ？ (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆

Shame, it should be :kekw:

Alright... this marks the end of my lurking lifestyle then, I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Yeah, I was quite disappointed to see that most, if not all, subreddits I follow had already shut down on Reddit. I mean, there's r/learnjapanese, r/fitness, r/iwanttolearn, r/piracy, r/nootropics... I could go on and on. I'm actually considering creating a Lemmy community in place of r/chineselanguage, since I see nothing of the sort has been created yet here. However I'm quite hesitant, since I don't really have the time nor interest in moderating a community, so... maybe I'll just wait for someone else to create it instead?

And they spell it like that literally all the time, even on Wikipedia! I don't know if it's just a common typo, but it could really mislead people to believe that his name isn't Gay Oldman.

I'm fluent/native-level in English + my native language (not disclosing)

With Japanese I'm semi-fluent in conversations, and intermediate-advanced in reading and comprehension

German I understand at an intermediate level but very bad at speaking

And I know some beginner-intermediate level Chinese.

I also hope to learn Norwegian and Korean on top of that.

Non-binary, but yes.

My preference is non-femboy soft twinks. Buff men are usually a turnoff with VERY few exceptions.

Being someone who wants to try everything, I'm extremely curious. What's the hobby?
