That form factor looks quite awkward for one-handed use. OG Blackberries were amazing because they were the perfect size to do things quickly one-handed, but you could switch to 2-handed typing for longer messages. I think it will be tricky to capture that kind of flexibility in a modern phone because the screens are so large.
Castillo, who moved to the U.S. from Ecuador in 1993, said he has no problem understanding English but has been watching videos to study industry terms. “Some words I don’t understand, but I try to learn more English,” he said.
Asked whether he supports the president’s executive order, Castillo said he voted for Trump
Smh.
I watched anime a lot in my youth and young adulthood, and found that after about 10 years of daily watching I could easily pick up a new show and understand the gist of what was going on. Complex words or exposition tripped me up, though. Nowadays I rarely watch anime but I've been studying Japanese daily on Duolingo for 4 years, and sometimes I'll turn on a Japanese show as practice to try to recognize as many words as I can. It's a totally different beast - Now I actually understand the nuances of sentence structure and have a much larger vocabulary, instead of just knowing a few key words. It's a fun exercise.
The question wasn't "How long until you learned the language" but instead was "How long until you can watch an episode without subtitles". I think there's a huge difference there. Shows that are mostly action and lack a lot of exposition will mostly have simple dialog, and you don't need to have a grasp on sentence structure or have a huge vocabulary when you can just recognize a few key words and get a general understanding.
Holy shit, I've gotta watch all of those. Are they mostly anime?
I watch a lot of 90s shows - Xena, Buffy, XFiles. They have the perfect combination of camp and charm that just does it for me. ReBoot is a really good one, too. It's the first fully 3d animated TV show and takes place inside of a computer. The main character is an antivirus program. Really neat concept.
Hopefully this doesnt double-post, I accidentally uploaded the wrong picture before.
I used to watch a streamer who ended every stream with the phrase "humans are just house plants with anxiety" and that always resonated with me.
