I feel the same, I've had a bunch of pixels since the 2
I'm going to be buying a Fairphone 5 when my current pixel needs replacing, which is coming soonish

Right, for sure if you were to pluralize emoji (which is singular) it wouldn't be emojus in japanese.
I was gonna toss some guesses here but it's a word I don't think you pluralize really, as we don't in English
Ah my favorite false cognate isn't here, that means I get to post about it!
Emoticon :) is emotion + icon in English, invented in the 80s or early 90s. Exactly what you think.
Emoji is Japanese 絵文字 which basically translates to "picture character". That word has been around for a long time; I don't know that I can put a date to it. But certainly a lot older than computers.
They just happen to sound similar
That's so cool!
How old (ish) were you when you moved?
Did you speak any Japanese before?
Any consideration towards relocating again?
Any other stories you want to share?
ありがとうございます、友達
Gotcha, okay. So you could do it either way, but for most people ($125k and below per person) it's probably just better to use the feie it seems
This is great, thanks for sharing all this.
Are peregrine falcons the fastest or something?
Wanna explain it for my friend who doesn't get it?
Our boss was like "I'm sure he's mad but he'll cool off" for way too long lol
We also worked some insane hours across many locations so it wasn't abnormal to not see your office mates for weeks at a time
That's a great article, thanks for the read.
This is technically fired, but it's more like quitting. It doesn't perfectly fit this thread but I love telling this story.
A few months into my first real job, the engineers got their raises (not me, I was new). 0%, after record profits, the team busting their ass and working insane hours, and promises of good raises. I think they got some gift cards or something.
One of my coworkers goes back to his desk, packs some stuff, walks to his car, and doesn't come back. He got paid for a full month before they finally fired him. We got a beer after and he was like "oh I don't think I'm gonna go back" in the most Office Space way
Super cool, I actually played in Japanese when I was in a good groove of learning a few years back, and felt like search was near unusable.
Now I'm learning Danish, so maybe I'll play in Danish to reinforce some random words
