Honestly I just wish I could take the steps written in the article but it would most likely be of no use.

I have very few close relationships and am not widely liked or popular by any means, don’t use social media because nobody sees my posts anyway, and the country I live in has a lot of media censorship, therefore the vast majority of the population is very conservative, uneducated and narrow-minded about most political topics.

I’ve been taking a lot of steps lately to reclaim my online privacy, and would hate to see it all thrown out the window by the EU, a union I thought was doing Europe justice before now…

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

Non-binary, but yes.

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

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.

Reminds me of SSSniperwolf.

“Bro has a BAG.”

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.

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.

Shame, it should be :kekw:

God-tier shitmeme.

Think my christian grandma will like this.

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？ (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆

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.

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?

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