Suddenly we have some Tsundream merch. If you want some Lisa merch that will ship faster than jewcorp might be worth a look. Oh and chibi live2d models.

For example, ESL question here, related to this:


I always thought "debate" involves several opposed parties and is a formal thing, but I've seen it used a lot in a place of "choosing between options", like deciding. Is it a recent thing or was it always used like that in more casual manner?

You're right; it's not really a correct usage. IRyS doesn't have the best English vocabulary (she's mentioned that living in Japan for so long has caused it to atrophy), but in this case it's not really her fault because a lot of people use it incorrectly.
Muyu is the ultimate EN sadgirl. :achansasuga:
Always has been.

The YouTube algorithm recommended this to me:

I thought that the inmates here would enjoy it.

Is there really such a thing as "correct" usage tho? If everyone understands what you mean by writing a certain word in a certain context and enough people start using it in that context too, does it not also gain that meaning?
edit:
Oxford seems to agree that it is correct in that usage

Considering it was originally posted because there was a confusion in trying to understand what she meant, no, not everyone understands it. If there is no change in context or the word itself, maybe just stick to it's original meaning instead of trying to force a new one

This board is more ESL than IRyS, obviously. That is an EXTREMELY common usage of the word, probably more common than the ‘formal debate’ meaning.

Why can't Hololive members take the autism test, besides being worried that Phase Connect members will outperform them for the first time ever?
  • Brands might take it the wrong way
  • People on twitter will riot because "making fun of mental health reeeeeee"
  • People on reddit will riot because "making fun of mental health reeeeeee"
  • Dramafags will probably find some way to profit off of it by turning it into drama
  • Some fans/artists which actually contribute (game devs, musicians, artists) might take issue with it and stop contributing to the brand
  • Holo generally only does risque content when it relates to horniness/degeneracy, they don't touch politics/religion/irl drama like crime or drugs, mental health is a massive taboo in japan
  • Shitstirrers and sisters WILL try to take it out of context and blow it out of proportion
  • More normalfags like shizzy WILL use it to decry Holo as evil
Those are the reasons I can think of, when you've got everyone's eyes on you, you definitely loose a lot of freedom and any mistakes can fuck with the jobs and livelihoods of a lot more people. Maybe it would result in a total nothingburger, heck I myself think I sound silly writing this BS, but nobody predicted Coco saying Taiwan because youtube showed it would bring hell on fucking earth.

yeah I was gonna say, how the fuck can I know more about the usage of english than the fucking natives. Are the native english speakers here zoomers? because those are the one's I'd believe being extremely retarded about their own language seeing how shitty their vocabulary is.
In other news, I offer this video of the new jp clipper friend. If the translation is correct it seems the jp girls were scouted or at least memory was.
