Is this media literacy?

Maybe you could just get a small portable gas stove. You'd look cool making your morning coffee.

Why are babies born without enough vitamin K? Is it something to do with the modern diet or it's just a "defect" humans have had for millions of years that we just happened to overcome in 1943?

In this specific case, the long unlucky journey was being born in the USA... They could have gotten treatment of they lived in a country with healthcare. That sucks so much.

The Korean Netflix adaptation of one of my favourite Japanese books called 終末のフール (shūmatsu no fūrū, roughly 'translate to fools in the end of times'). The book was about a collection of stories told from the perspectives of different residents of an apartment building in a world that's come to accept the fact that a planetoid is going to destroy the Earth in a few years. Some struggle to decide whether to have a child or not. Some question whether there's even a point going to school. Everyone has hard decisions to make but they're all oddly cool with the fact that their time on Earth is limited. They felt enlightened to me because I think most of us spend our days ignoring the finiteness of our lives.

On the other hand, the K-drama was a generic apocalypse survival show. Everyone just screaming and yelling. At least, that's how it started off as and I lost interest immediately. Even the English title was stupid—Goodbye Earth. Ugh.

Oh we have plenty of them in Canada. We're just a little bit less likely to worship them—for now.

What the fuck does this even mean? Can anyone explain?

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I swear that number was way lower. I guess I was wrong!

How do you expect a company to properly identify a person whose "life literally changed". It's their ass on the line of something goes wrong.

Starbucks didn't deserve to be in Korea. Korea has sooo many great cafes.

Not here to self promote but one thing I've started and have actually been sticking to, surprisingly, is game streaming. I'm just playing doing my thing, but eventually I'd like to take it one step further and get viewers.

Yes. Cheese.

What is the English equivalent of "zozos" in the context of this toot? It sounds kinda cute/childish so I'm thinking bozos or dummies.

Thanks!

I feel like a dummy for not knowing this as a Canadian, but is there a difference between the two? I've actually never heard of québéquien/nne before.

Also, in the picture, there is this caption: vieux fumet "sueur d'avion". Does that mean he reeks of airplane smells?

In Japan, sticker trading is all the rage amongst kids. Is this a localised trend, or are kids overseas taking part in this phenomenon too? I used to sorta do it back in the 90s in Canada but it wasn't really about trading, and I don't think any of my friends did it. Anyone with kids know?

I think this means "I'm not alone," but can't figure out why the "ja" is there. Would it not make sense if it said "Ich bin nicht allein"?

Update: Thanks to everyone who responded! I guess it's a way to emphasize your point.

All the icons got all big and wonky. I even had trouble making this post.

I moved to Japan about 16 years ago and my family who is visiting me showed me the new King Charles loonie. When I put it in hand, it felt much thinner than what I remember. Is this because it IS actually thinner or am I just too used to Japanese coins?

Here is the context it was used in:

D’après elle, « l’essai de décriminalisation » du gouvernement était voué à l’échec dès le départ.

Thank you in advance.

On a somewhat related note, does anyone know of websites or channels that are less depressing than CBC where I can read, listen to, or watch French content? I recently started using Loops, and the algorithm started suggesting some French accounts. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it.

I think "à la suite d'une fusillade mortelle" means "following a fatal shooting," but can't figure out without the first half. Something tells me that "crie" is not a verb in this case...

I could use Google translate, but I'd rather have a discussion with people here!

Hi guys. Another request about understanding a French joke. Why is "checkered jacket," a funny punchline?

Hey guys, I made that post about teaching Japanese by playing games together about a month ago. I have one Lemmy user who is available today. It's super short notice but we'll be playing in about an hour (9pm Japan time). I'm not sure which platform that bought the game on, but it's probably going to be either Switch or PC. Feel free to join us if you're available as I think the game allows for 4 players simultaneously. Thanks!

Edit: lots of typos

Does the person filming mention why he's picking up a single tadpole to take to the basin? I don't see the point in filming that part as I don't understand Spanish (I think) at all.

I like courses for online learning and wanted to learn how to use Godot to make games. If anyone knows a platform, or a tutor who might be able to teach a guy during the evening on weeknights (Japan time), that would be greatly appreciated!
