ponybis: @macpony55 Apparently once you know it you can do it with radicals and context sort of like you can figure out words you don't know in English contextually.

ponybis: @macpony55 In writing and some grammatical structure, yes, but I've seen a lot more borrow words in English - Japanese rather than Chinese - Japanese. I have an easier time understanding and remembering Japanese words and structures as well. I also hate Chinese characters so the Japanese alphabets are a nice help. And then Furigana is present a lot more than Pin Yin ever would be in the media so I can tell what some things are without having to learn the characters first.

ponybis: @macpony55 I already understand a good amount of it, but I'm not yet fluent (probably about as much as a small child in the Country) and I want to get into the game industry when I'm older so I thought it'd be a decent language to learn. And there are a bunch of games I'd like to play that aren't getting localized. I want to learn Chinese for business purposes, but it's a lower priority right now. Ironically I may end up learning more of that first, though.

ponybis: @macpony55 Chinese people are everywhere where I live. Also Koreans. Too bad I want to be fluent in Japanese the most and can't find any Japanese people around here. My only Japanese friend that lives here goes to a different school and I haven't spoken to him in a few years.

ponybis: @macpony55 I have a good amount of friends (>100) in Taiwan (I made a Facebook just to communicate with them). Google translate makes our conversations quite interesting on both ends. They usually have less of an idea of what's going on than I do because I use other translation resources plus Google and I know a little Chinese myself. Google Translate is horrible in all regards and can't even do German to English very well.

ponybis: @macpony55 How far are you along right now? It might help to look at other filters for greasemonkey or similar things. See how their structures work and whatnot. I'm sure you can find a database of naughtywords somewhere as well.

ponybis: @ponydude2143 They capitalize on other's content, are funded by enemies of the internet (according to Cabal), and generally brings together the worst qualities of the internet in one nice, easy to access place for people who have no business there and ruin things for everyone. But that's a really short answer. I don't feel like ranting tonight, it's game time soon.

ponybis: @madflavors I've never tried recreational drugs myself, but I have no qualms with other people doing them and trying things out isn't a bad thing. It only becomes a problem when you're an addict. I'm actually quite interested in hallucinogenics, but I'll probably never try them anyways. I can sort of just set my mind into a surreal mode and just trip off of things online without any extra stimulation.

ponybis: @sparklepeep That's a bit steep. I'm not familiar with New York and I don't know where BroNYcon is taking place, but I know plenty of people who get away with sleeping in convention centers and showering in places like gas stations. Sometimes improvisation is the best way to go. Is a My Little Pony meetup worth that?

ponybis: @greydragon412 Whelp, it's great to know you're an outcast like the rest of us. I see most people come out on top when they start from outcast, figure people out, and then work themselves to success. Believe it or not, you have the advantage here. But the first step is to accept other people whether you like them or not. If it helps, don't think of them as friends, but as stones for you to cross. Just make sure not to scratch the stones because they could bite you if you don't treat them right. But you'll find the stones lead a path to true success.
