⚠️ I sometimes post NSFW stuff.

I’m a 36m British writer, designer, gaymer, lefty snowflake, and AuDHDer. I never shut up about Ace Attorney, and I collect Tamagotchis. Trying to learn Japanese, currently N4-ish. Ask for my Slowly ID!

Also on Lemmy: @meejle@lemmy.world

  • What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

  • There are different things I like about them… 🤔 I really like the way PieFed merges crossposts together, although I wish it could be smarter at "noticing" identical posts that weren't actually crossposted.

    But then, I really like "Scaled" sorting, and Lemmy's seems way better to me. (I couldn't begin to tell you why.) I also like having more choice of Android apps on Lemmy, but I'm sure that'll change quickly enough.

    So I guess it might depend on how development goes on both platforms?

  • Because I already started using Mastodon.World years ago, then Lemmy.World, and now Piefed.World. 🤷‍♂️

  • What are some online courses or tutorials that you found helpful and practical?

  • Busuu for language learning. It's like Duolingo, but the main difference is that it actually teaches you the grammar, instead of just making you memorise random sentences. It also has some audio and video of native speakers, at least on the Japanese course. And each module ends with a prompt where you freely write or speak your answer (e.g., "What do you like to eat?") in your target language, and then it gets graded/corrected by native speakers in the community.

    And for Japanese kanji specifically, WaniKani. Nothing else I've ever tried has helped with kanji, but their writing style and off-the-wall mnemonics honestly make it so much easier. And you get the first three levels for free, which is actually tons of content.

  • It'd be called Great British Mail, because we're only allowed to do things that pander to Reformtwats now

  • The hard right has high hopes in Gorton and Denton – but a grassroots fightback is under way

    Jump

  • I just checked their style guide (it's an Autistic fascination of mine 😅)… funnily enough, they specifically recommend using "far-right" over "alt-right". But they don't have an entry for "far-right", and I couldn't find any mention of "hard right".

    “alt-right”use once and in quotes at first mention; use far right at any subsequent mentions. Note: far right (noun) and far-right (adjective). More specific descriptions can be used where relevant when mentioning individuals associated with the movement, but such descriptions should be evidence-based.

  • Don't forget to force them to do sports, martial arts, Scouting, etc., against their will. Being around their most athletic peers will fix the gay thoughts for sure.

    "OK, I'll remind you later!"

  • it's so blatant once you notice it

    Jump

  • I think it's less true now than it once was, but I remembering hearing somewhere that pre-recorded messages on trains/subways/in stations tend to use feminine voices for information, and masculine voices for instructions.

    There are definitely still times on the London Underground where you'll hear announcements that switch in the middle, and that does usually seem to be the pattern.

    (I realise this doesn't really apply to GPSes, but your comment is what reminded me, so. 😅)

  • Looking at Lemmy Explorer, and using the "Only Show NSFW" filter, it looks like it's pretty much just Lemmy.world at the moment.
