#2 This is toxic, unhealthy parenting
Odincdaj522004
Dinosaur Toothbrush with Ninja Sauce is a kickass name, and I've seen dumber shit in actual Japanese pop culture stuff, so I don't know that anyone would think twice about it.

#4 Accidentally did that to myself. Was living in northern Maine, used a radio clock for my alarm, took a while to find a station that spoke English. Morning happens, music plays, weather is announced "Clear 7 A.M." My ride leaves at 7, instantly out of bed, hoping I can get dressed fast enough and run, maybe my ride will still be there, have my pants on when I realize the station is in the Atlantic time zone.

#1 - Years ago I shared a basement suite apartment with my best friend and his gf (who had immigrated to Canada from HK). We were watching TV and she was scrolling her phone when she sighs and says "What's the least awkward way to tell my white coworker that her new Traditional Chinese tattoo says "picnic table?" We looked at each other and said "There is no non-awkward way to tell her that." "God dammit."

#2 wouldn't the kids of these parents tune them out in middle school?
RandomStuffsandThings
I didn't tune them out until I was nearly 30.

I have a few female friends that would be all over this. Pretend drama and all.

No need to be poly, I'll just bring my husband and a female friend

They finally solved the biggest problem in polyamory. Who pays for what?

#6 Eh. The credit goes less to her, and more to the makeup and wardrobe people, at least as goes for what's in the post. I mean, yes, she played them differently, but if she'd not been styled as differently, these two stills could read more like one person at different times than as two very different people.

Left: At home with the people she loves.
Right: At work with the people she loves least in the whole universe.

Better life, not “easier”.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
Define 'better' in this context, without accidentally slipping up and giving an example of a life being 'easier' through your example.
I'm just curious what that even looks like.
brianglass10
I just don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “I want my kid to have an easier life”. Better chance at educational and better job and home etc. saying easier sounds like something else.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
So you're just.... quibbling over the word for no reason, while conceding that better and easier meant the same thing all along?
brianglass10
I think there is a difference in better and easier.

Is using a truck to deliver a sofa instead of carrying it from the store to your house better, or easier?

I used to play as “a small child” in deathmatch. Made the notifications hilarious

Love it! Reminds me of the times that evil teenagers change a word in their unsuspecting mother's phone texts. (Also, I don't know how they do that)
LoftheDesert
I haven't bothered doing that in a while but back in the day I had an iPod touch and it had some settings where you could tell it "when I write this, automatically change it into that."
The standard was like if you write omw it would write out "on my way" but it could be anything bacon into "yes, you can have a party"
A little x would show up next what it would be changed into so you could still write omw if needed.
Twinklepot
Excellent! I love how frustrated the people texting get! Thanks for the info.
RadiDaddy
I just checked on my iPhone and it still has Text Replacement under the Keyboards tab in General Settings. OMW does indeed change to On my way!
LoftheDesert
I am able to recall very specific details about this even though I haven't touched an apple product since my ipod touch 4 but school material... it's like I've never studied at all.

#9 what makes him clueless?
TheMeatIncident
He's Alicia Silverstone
BeforeDayMorning365
I’ve seen the video, he’s not clueless. It just titled that way to get clicks.
darcmosch
More like a con. I am a Mandarin translator, and seeing all these "amazing" Chinese speakers use "rare" dialects is so pathetically transparent.
HawkmanXLII
Yeah, so I've heard. I've seen him on youtube, it's all so obviously curated for clicks and a bit cringy.
captainfakeypants
Their casual racism.
CallMeMcGyver
He only brought Monopoly with him and left Clue at home...
n0gal
Clickbait title, he's a fake polyglot who is talented in speaking Mandarin (and nothing else), goes around making content of him "speaking" lesser known languages (frisian, masaai, navaho, etc to make sure to limit the number of people who can call him on his bullshit, hell his latest scam in pretending to have learned how to speak chimpanzee) to sell his "learn any language in 1 week" program. It's honestly pretty cringe.
ArthurT
I thought 'Chimpanzee' was his native language.
Colopty
Ah yes the people who make it their whole thing to pretend they're learning a bunch of languages in a really short time are an interesting crowd.
MrsMeltingCrayons
Is he the dude who's like "if you can speak to me in a language I don't know I'll give you $100"? I've always wanted to run into that guy so I can sign to him and get an easy hundred bucks. And of course get edited out of the video because that's not good for his image.
CallMeMcGyver
I speak multiple languages such as hamster and penguin... Chimpanzee is beneath me, anyone can learn the monkey languages... Now Slug or Octopus that'll impress me.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Got a source for the fake part. I'm curious now
n0gal
I mean, if you believe someone telling you they speak 56 languages, learn ~15 languages a year, and you just have to buy their course to be that good too? Boy do I have a monorail to sell you.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
He really said he speaks 56 languages? Wtf
AzraelTheSorrowful
He does say that. But he doesn't say he's fluent in those languages.
AzraelTheSorrowful
I'll preface this by saying I don't really know much on the topic, but I do see his videos/shorts occasionally on YT. In most of the videos I've seen when he's speaking a language that he's new to, he specifically says he's just starting and trying to learn, stumbles through, gets corrected or has to re-say stuff correctly, etc. Also, I looked into the speaking to apes video, and it's very obviously a charity fundraiser video and not meant to be taken seriously as a "language".
n0gal
It's the "I speak 56 languages, buy my course" videos that bug me.
AzraelTheSorrowful
I mean, even if the dude only is barely able to speak conversationally in these languages, it's still a clear skill that he's learned. And as for the 'buy my course', part; how is this any worse than other people asking you to check out their patreon or to buy their merch? Hell, I'd say offering to sell a course to try and teach you a skill rather than asking you to donate money for, usually, nothing or to buy branded merch is better.
n0gal
It's selling false academia with false promises. It's no different than a "alpha male course" targeted at a different audience.
