dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Goodness, it's been rough for me throughout the years.

English is my primary language.

I have been studying Japanese as I consume a ton of media (not anime or manga believe it or not) that is Japanese only. I started again about 9 months ago, but it's coming in spurts. My life's too busy to be super consistent, but I know that's an excuse and I just have terrible time management due to unmanaged and undiagnosed ADHD. I think I have enough of a grasp on it to complete the N5. Who knows though. I actually started learning in High School about 20 years ago, but I've surpassed everything I've learned thus far in my 3 years in that class.

I had a half decent grasp on Esperanto there for a while, but then dropped it as I got chided for it on more than one occasion. Also, no one I know speaks it and there's no real media with which to really help teach it.

And I took one year of spanish that I've completely forgotten back in high school. Maybe someday I'll finish it, but it's not high on my list since Japanese is such a time consumer
