That's correct, you can insult someone accidentally while complimenting them in a similar way. The particles は (as in wa) and が (ga) have different connotations that can simply different things.

So saying メリーさんの顔はきれい (Mary-san no kao wa kirei, "Mary has a beautiful face") causes an implication that Mary has a beautiful face, (... But nothing else about her is beautiful). Changing the は for が makes the statement come across as intended.

Without going into detail on the whole wa vs ga thing, wa is more like "as for x..." which can imply a "but..." at the end, whether stated or not, which causes this effect.

While not my native language, in Japanese, many insulting things to call people are often translated as English curses, but actually are just increasingly disrespectful ways to refer to the listener. The actual translation for them is just "you" but not respectful. This might not be a complete list, but I got most of them at least.

Anata - Polite way of saying "you" but not often used in conversation except between spouses or lovers. It's preferred to use the listener's name instead.

Kimi - Rude in a polite setting, but not explicitly disrespectful, necessarily.

Omae - Now you're on the level of picking a fight, but good friends often use this for each other.

Temee - Extremely disrespectful

Kisama - Extremely disrespectful

Kono yarou - Extremely disrespectful

When I managed a pizza place, people would ask if the driver could bring change for $100. I'd tell them if they wanted to leave a $50 tip, the driver can give them his $20.

Don't forget that when they do hit it big and get lucky, they often spend the robux they earned back into the platform.

The We Make Games documentary on Roblox interviewed a kid who made $20k USD or something like that off his game. Never cashed it out and bought a bunch of cosmetics in the shop he's stuck with, and he's kicking himself for it now.

If I understand the news on the matter clearly, he still has one last appeal to overturn his purchase. I think he's hoping to reverse Twitter back to the old owners in a demolished state as a middle finger.

It doesn't have to be entirely lackadaisical, but it shouldn't be as bad as it is now where kids must be locked up inside and supervised all the time. We didn't really go all that far from our respective houses until we were around 12 or 13, before that we were usually on our own roads or adjacent streets where the others lived, since we mostly lived in close proximity. Later on we'd go ride a couple miles into town and mess around a bit, but there were usually at least 3 of us together, and we didn't pay much mind to anyone else.

It took me around 4 hours to get to that point, and sometimes my mail would still go into junk, especially on gmail inboxes.

When I was a kid in the 00s, my friends and I rode our bikes all over the place. Our parents didn't know where we were, and unless they wanted to go out searching or calling people, they didn't have any way of knowing. None of us had cell phones.

Now, people are too scared to let their kids out of their sight for too long, or they might have a neighbor that can't mind their own business and call CPS over it.

Second mxroute, I got their black friday deal last year and I've liked it.

I've done it, and I do not recommend it if you actually plan for people to receive your emails.

It just looks like every other Bethesda start screen.

Reminds me of Obsidian, which is what I use for notes. But obsidian isn't selfhosted. I might actually host a copy of that because it's cool
