What are some good apps for learning Japanese for people just getting into learning Japanese?

I wonder which historical events would be remembered completely differently if the truth of what happened had been caught on a bodycam

Can’t get over how the DHH petitioners named themselves after an anti-Nazi sabotage campaign. To repeat: they named themselves after heroes who risked their lives against overwhelming odds fighting an occupying army in the middle of a war. This from people whose greatest act

Marrying a foreigner means you can never be sure which cultural reference points you share. Eg my wife didn’t know the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. Me: but you know the character? Her: yes Me: how do you know the character without knowing the rhyme? Her: because of Shrek!

Most Europeans don't appreciate how poor they are compared to the US. They only know America through TV. If they've visited they stuck to tourist hotspots, city centres and national parks — they've never driven through surburbia, been inside an ordinary American home, or

Obviously they don’t and she doesn’t mean it, but it shows how far the Overton window has shifted and so quickly. Six months ago she wouldn’t have even tried to pretend.

People talk of British policing’s decline, but the biggest change Ive noticed is its disappearance. I used to always see bobbies on the beat growing up (and that was in a quiet middle class town with zero crime). Now I never see police anywhere. Where the hell did they all go?

People in my timeline keep talking about "Victorians" and I do a double-take then realise they're not 200 years old, they're just Australian

I don't think I'll ever be able to convey to my son just how deranged and retarded the year 2020 was. He'll think I'm exaggerating. He won't believe it could possibly have been that stupid. Hell, I find it hard to believe and I actually lived through it. Did that really happen?

It’s funny because “upending 17 years of consensus” is basically what the electorate are loudly demanding politicians do in a wide range of areas if you glance at any opinion polling.

Looks like I picked a good week to not be in the UK

Now that we're no longer in the tail-end of a pandemic can we finally admit that both of these movies were terrible?

I'm old enought to remember the 70s, when everything in Britain seemed to be broken. Strikes, power cuts, inflation, unemployment, IMF bailouts, British Leyland cars. But it was never as bad as this. Much more is broken now. The courts, the police, the universities, the civil

Maxi is a boss. Anyone interested in salvaging the UK should definitely reach out to him (and tell him that I referred you):

Before apologizing for being a normal person, shove a stick up your ass.
