@anon_opin If you know what book you want, and you’re busy, it’s really easy to order online. There is rarely variation in quality between copies of the same book.
On the other hand, avocados should only be bought at a grocery store. I learned that the hard way.

I'm baffled by people who go to a bricks-and-mortar supermarket every week, but buy things like books online. Why would you not want to spend time in a nice little bookshop, but you're happy to go to an aircraft hanger on the arse-end of town full of baked beans?

@airkatakana Someone who is good at Japanese can pass N1, but not everyone who passes N1 is good at Japanese.

@cashonsocial @nealmohan @YouTubeCreators I’ll say the obvious. Make it high res enough that it looks good on a 65” TV, but simple and clear enough that it is readable on a phone.

The real unlock: TV viewership.
Data: 50%+ of YouTube watch time now happens on TV screens.
Old thumbnails (2MB) → designed for phones
New thumbnails (50MB) → designed for 65" 4K displays
Creators who optimize for living room viewing first are going to dominate the next wave. Most still design mobile-first.
This is a bigger deal than it sounds.

Exciting news: as of this week, all @youtubecreators can now upload 50MB thumbnails (up from 2MB).
Now, your super high-resolution thumbnails will look epic on TV 📺

@nealmohan @YouTubeCreators youtube doubling down on high-res thumbnails for tv screens nobody's watching on. very confident strategy.

@Daniel_Batal A lot of creators could learn from @rickbeato

Thank you so much. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve spent an hour or two on a thumbnail just to find out I can’t upload it because it’s too big.

Do you make typing mistakes? So do I!
Word of the Day from my episode about typing in Japanese: 変換ミス→ (typing) mis-conversion.

@RottenGaijin Probably helped because there's less of a preconception. I learned fairly early on that the Japan represented in most anime is not the same as the country. Not to say there aren't more accurate representations but it's usually very rose coloured.

I’m convinced one reason I’ve been able to adapt to life in Japan is that I have no interest in anime.

The Japan as presented in anime, usually via shounen demographic anime, is a very... peculiar kind of world where things are made more obvious and easier to understand because there's a lot more effort to explain the worldview of the manga/anime to the audience.

@MRBigelow Came here with few expectations and way before the internet was a thing. Counting myself really lucky.

Anime-obsessed foreigners with manga hair are an annoying embarassment and most Japanese want nothing to do with them.
