Thank you!

The fact that me and a coworker can’t both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn’t even reasonable, nevermind anything more

Right, for sure if you were to pluralize emoji (which is singular) it wouldn’t be emojus in japanese.

I was gonna toss some guesses here but it’s a word I don’t think you pluralize really, as we don’t in English

Ah my favorite false cognate isn’t here, that means I get to post about it!

Emoticon :) is emotion + icon in English, invented in the 80s or early 90s. Exactly what you think.

Emoji is Japanese 絵文字 which basically translates to “picture character”. That word has been around for a long time; I don’t know that I can put a date to it. But certainly a lot older than computers.

They just happen to sound similar

That’s so cool!

How old (ish) were you when you moved?

Did you speak any Japanese before?

Any consideration towards relocating again?

Any other stories you want to share?

ありがとうございます、友達

Gotcha, okay. So you could do it either way, but for most people ($125k and below per person) it’s probably just better to use the feie it seems

This is great, thanks for sharing all this.

That’s a great article, thanks for the read.

Dumb question, did you fully power down and power up your Deck?

I thought it was a Form 1116 thing, but I could be wrong for sure. IANAL and haven’t yet done foreign taxes so who knows yet

Yeah, it goes up faster than inflating each year, it seems. 126,400 per person or 253k for married I believe this year, which is a pretty fair bit especially considering you deduct the taxes you locally pay off the top first, afaik

Do you live abroad? I’m expatting in a few weeks (long planned, not in a pure panic due to Trump) and would love ask a few questions if so!

Ah, gotcha. I knew that was II back there but I didn’t recognize Brandon Toews. Thanks!

That’s really II? I didn’t realize he was non anonymous

Or to take up way less space, a small manual thread checker. For sure by thread is the answer to bolt/screw sorting

Ayo

And it’s integrated into Archipelago.gg, which means you can randomize the alttp items with other games.

Idk where to draw the line with it being illegal for them to sell real copies. Like, what if it’s a really good fake? Are they gonna send out each and every game? They can’t spend $20 making sure a $10 game is legit.

No clue what to do about it honestly

Oh huh, that’s interesting. I’ll definitely have to check that out

If they’re cheap and common games, I don’t think it’s a big deal to have fakes mixed in if it doesn’t bother the buyer either.

Now for more rare stuff, it matters more. Feels like mtg cards, where a certain threshold it should be graded for authenticity and condition

I don’t know that non-lawyers need to figure out exactly what it means, but in an ideal world: if you pay for something that includes a continuation of services and the services stop continuing, you should be compensated fairly. I am not smart enough to word that in a way that can’t be worked around, “gotcha’d”, etc. but I’m guessing the spirit of the rules is fairly common ground for anyone who isn’t trying to rug-pull a service out from under those they sell it to.
