You should do this now just to spite this man and go against his wishes.

In my opinion, people don't mind hearing what you have to say. I wouldn't call an upvote content. So I think comments and posts, if you are feeling daring on any given day, make for a better experience and let's people be more social.

Basically, if everyone says something and interacts, this place will feel a lot more lively.

Best way to have active accounts is to avoid lurking. I've found myself falling into the trap where I act like I'm on reddit or YouTube and I don't want to give them free user engagement. The exact opposite of Lemmy.

So yeah. Don't lurk. Lurking bad.

Not just gay men. Men without children can't do home improvement. This is common knowledge.

I personally haven't seen that a whole lot

Is it really that in depth? I mean good looking food is what I'm there for.

Like I said, quick search, and unfortunately, I doubt anyone else looked it up. Soooo here is an article that says a 32tb cards goes for about $7000.

$4.5k from a quick search.

Edit: I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE THAT NUMBER CAME FROM LAST NIGHT

This states that a 32tb ssd costs roughly $7000

As mentioned deeper in the thread, I agree that this is an edge case. I should have considered that when making my original argument. However, this edge case is brought up in an attempt to explain that not ever scenario should have the same solution. Leading me back to my point, that we should use the names that best serve the purpose of the speaker and/or their audience.

Ultimately, as stated, language is meant to be used for the sake of being understood. I'm not saying use Japanese names because they are better, but because they might be preferred by an individual. And if the audience becomes confused, then perhaps the person using the Japanese name should simply get off their high horse and use the English name instead.

I can get behind that logic. And I entirely agree that the point of language is to be understood. I will die on that hill with you. The only reason I bring up Dan Machi is that by using the English name, people judge the anime quickly, when ultimately the anime does not align with its title. In this case, using language to avoid prejudgement makes a difference.

But that is an exception. Not the rule. So in that vein, I concede to your argument.
