I wouldn’t say you rarely encounter written hiragana. It’s in practically every sentence because, as you mentioned, it carries the grammar of a sentence. Particles, conjugations, auxiliary verbs are all written with hiragana.
As one of my Chinese friends in grad school put it: he could kind of understand written Japanese but had no idea what was going on with “those weird characters everywhere.”
Passphrases are easier when you need to enter the password on a system that isn’t logged into your vault, even if they are longer. I usually default to 3 word passphrase + random number at the end of a word + random special character in the middle of a word.
They’ve got a registry for people with autism like me. But it’s okay, they would never use it for anything untoward like eugenics.
To add onto emeralddawn45’s response, studies have shown that communication within groups of all autistic people is just as effective as communication within groups of all allistic people. It’s mixed groups where communication becomes less effective. https://doi.org/10.1177/1362361320919286
In my experience, this extends beyond just communication. Every social aspect is easier with other autistic folks and more difficult with allistic folks. Yet we’re constantly told we have poor social skills by allistic people, who don’t recognize that they are equally part of the social difficulty equation.
Framing autism in general as a “price” that has to be paid is demeaning and IMO a bad take anyway. It’s par for the course with neurotypical folk only seeing autism as a net negative and not thinking about all the great human advancements that I would bet are the result of an autistic person’s hyperfixation. Particularly STEM advancements.
Severe cases are usually debilitating, yes. But ASD1 is a lot more common than people realize, it’s still very underdiagnosed. I firmly believe I’m better off with it.
Yeah, that post title is so fucking offensive.
I volunteer anyone with that opinion to be the next person executed. And anytime who thinks people dying from unnecessary gun violence is an acceptable loss to keep the 2nd Amendment can be next in line after Charlie Kirk.
Always at least double the garlic called for.
It’s that really so surprising? This is the crowd that thinks atheists are inherently immoral because they can’t fathom anyone acting altruistically without the threat of eternal torture. That says a lot about their own internal moral compass.
Did they ever stop? I don’t think I’ve ever seen liberals (party or base) grapple with how sinister that primary was.
How about we make a party that represents people rather than corporate interests? Then you might actually attract people who refuse to support corruption.
Sincerely, someone who has barely brought themselves to vote for shitty candidates they didn’t want to be president 3 times in a row.
You said:
How did your 401k lose more than gained. That would basically be fraud. Just doesn’t work that way.
So I said, with additional detail:
My 401k sat at less than net contributions for 10 months in a row.
I don’t know about the other stuff, but I had a job from late 2021 to early-mid 2023. By the time I left the job, the net contributions over about 18 months were $9,992.78, and the balance was $10,340.83.
From the 2nd through the 11th month, the balance was literally less than net contributions.
Too true! Some people say there’s no such thing as a fish. I prefer to expand the definition. We simply brought the water with us.
There is a home video of me when I was like 6 happily swimming around in a lake with my family, equipped with flotation devices. I was having a great time, laughing and clearly enjoying myself.
Then my grandfather comes and forcibly removes all of my flotation devices and drags me out deep to force me to swim back to “teach” me how to swim. The whole time I was being dragged out I was shouting “No! No! Not like this!”
It’s a wonder I don’t have a fear of water.
Not to mention mammals are just land fish. We are all fish.
+1 for the Chevy Bolt. I’ve got the 2023 EUV, absolutely love it.
However, I’ve heard that the newer lines are dropping Apple CarPlay & Android Auto support. Which would be a hard no from me.
The used market for EVs is kinda crazy cheap right now though. To OP: I’d highly suggest looking for a used 2023 Chevy Bolt when you’re ready.
I do agree that’s a particular case that can’t be solved by a password manager. But it’s all the more reason to use one elsewhere to reduce how many you need to remember.
I have to remember only 3 secure passwords. My personal computer, my work account, and my password manager. Those are the only three I have to type in manually. And because they’re secure and unique, for stupid work password change requirements I just increment the last character.
This is exactly what my friend would say! Wikipedia is a genius example to use. That upper section is mostly nouns, not complete sentences, so it’s just kanji that are mostly readable to people to understand Traditional Chinese characters. The の character is a grammatical particle (written in hiragana) indicating that 最大 is modifying 都市, to give largest city.
And then all the “curvy” characters in the body of the text are the hiragana carrying the grammar of the sentence. You can understand the nouns and verbs since they’re written in kanji, but the grammar surrounding them is in hiragana. That’s why I thought it was odd for the other person to say you rarely encounter written hiragana. You really can’t write a complete sentence or much more than a single word without it.
