@Gargron now all you need is a vintage red Savoia to fly over.

@MLE_online @thomasfuchs I'm at a solid 0% but I have only tried a few times.

@Lockdownyourlife Dunno why they call it easter and not bleeding palm sunday.

@LadyDragonfly Another take: it's not an ideology, it's a peace treaty. If someone violates a peace treaty, you're compelled to react to uphold your responsibility.

I just feel like this product labeling raises more questions than it answers is all

@YoWatShiinaEsq I saw some nice guy in Osaka wearing a t-shirt from the University I went to and said (in Japanese) oh hey that's my school and he looked very confused. He liked the design and didn't realize it was a school emblem.

@YoWatShiinaEsq Thank you, and I think it does! (i vs na is like how 赤い車 is fine but きれいな車 needs a -na to connect kirei to a noun.)
Thank you. I don't want to make people work teaching me language for free, but I'd never seen that usage before.

@YoWatShiinaEsq (transliteration question if you don't mind) at the bottom it seems to say sofuto_na_kusutaado. Why the な？Do they put that in because ソフト acts as a na-adjective?
(Scared noises: do I have to figure out whether loanwords are i or na adjectives as well?)

@Yukari I generally feel like we should be talking about creating a future rather than dwelling in the past, so, yeah. Excelsior!

@YoWatShiinaEsq I'd love to see pictures of the result.

Plumeria bustin a move.

@Yukari That's really cool! The whole process is neat to read about.

@Yukari I'm curious: did she provide any details on how they made strings from cedar? Stripping the bark lengthwise?

@Yukari About 160 million other people are thinking the same thing right now.

@Yukari His book of short stories is just amazing.
I'm hoping to get to the point some day where I can read them in Japanese.

@Yukari (I've been on about elsewhere) twitter has spent billions of dollars on making the user experience addictive. Part of that is convincing users that reach/influence is important, and that they can get it by working harder/being cleverer/using the site more. It's hard to get out of that mindset.

@Yukari My Indian coworkers complain a lot about English dialectical/regional grammar patterns that were rigorously discouraged when they were taking English classes.

@Yukari I've a Twitter friend who is nearly obsessed with fountain pens and I'm trying to talk her into coming here. Fingers crossed.

@ymd ことりこのあたらしい家ですね？
