...and if they exist, then the definition of "perfect" has to be highly subjective.

perfect IS subjective
there is no one perfect for everyone, if the perfect is not subjective we are screwed
there is nothing interesting about living, not that there are

How is the usage of purely subjective definitions practical? It's by being objective that they are in any way productive.

Edit: I haven't really mentioned it before, but I don't really like subjectivity (although I can be a hypocrite at times).

So I went ahead and made a chart for the basic kana (to help myself and ease boredom).
Any thoughts?

The font looks like crap in chrome D:
The audio is just a link to an mp3 file (I cba to put in javascript to play it)
The text overflows from the section (though not horribly far, so w/e)

(click to show/hide)

Skipping over everything that has been discussed since...

That's pretty cool. But, just so you know, you could probably have learnt all the hiragana in less time than it took you to make that anyway

There is quite a LOT in life that is subjective.  Objectivity is for mathematicians and anyone who else who must rely on cold, rigid, hard-to-dispute facts.  For the rest of us, truth is in the eye of the beholder.

I always wondered why I took every math course available...

lol, I basically have the hiragana down, it's the katakana I haven't completely gotten yet.

It's also nice to do something like that because it's more likely to stick in your head than if you're just going over all the time.

At least htat's what I'd assume.

Motivations are subjective, and without motivation there would be no engineering. If something were always self-evident, there there would be no reason to raise it on its behalf (pretty much goes for math, i.e. proofs are built on other proven points, so one does not raise proofs for the latter to make the former in point).

Hey, math can be fun, you know?

[metro.]

Math can be fun!

Also, since when do we talk about romance?

good night then I should be going to sleep as well

ok one can get less noise and normal size, but one can not get lesser trouble women, women mean trouble even if sometimes it only comes once a month
At least I have not met a women that is not a bit crazy and over sensitive.

well i never said no trouble
i said less trouble....2 days once in a month past is acceptable
And as far as meeting such a person goes... i don't have very high hopes about it
and well as far as your troubles go....turkey may be a shit hole.. can't you just leave it? and go somewhere else...might look like a wanderer
and wearing sleeve-less?! what's the problem with that? o.O
And one night stands... as if they are some saints... of what i have heard turkey is comprised of mostly muslims and they have like 2-3 wives each

It is just like I said to zoidberg-avatar-guy on this forum; you have far too high standards. Perfect people don't exist ;]

Near perfect would be alright

I updated the kana chart, now the audio files play on click \/

Florida... Why you rain all three days I'm down here! (W/e I like rainy days... Though, I dislike annoying relatives.)

[1000mAh]

it is nearly 6AM xD me & sleeping  xD

This is a good summary of how my sister and I deal with family get-togethers.
It's really awkward when our devoutly Christian aunt and uncle show up. Then their kids join us.

I think I deserve SOME credit for that >:|
Great job btw.

[SirSkyRider]

So I just burned a few playlists to CDs. Turns out the software I used to print on CDs isn't working anymore. -.-

They claim to be Muslim, but that is as much as we all are Christians. Surely they hold on to some common Muslim values, but most "proper" Muslims I have met (the ones who goes to pray 5 times a day) do not even know Arabic language and read Koran in Turkish, and muslims are much more strict about reading sacred word in original language then us. Yeah, there are higher possibility that you will get a virgin wife here...but then again then you have to be Turkish and muslim to get these women, because family will not accept you if you are not one of them. Most of families will not accept you then. If you are a girl then it might be ok, but not that ok for boys. 

90% of "proper" Muslims one see in Turkey are tourists from Arabic countries.
And harems are illegal in Turkey, yes, husbands do get Russian or some of that sort of mistresses, but its not much different from what goes on in non muslim countries. The divorce is legal and most wives divorce their husbands if they get a mistress, so - no different from us.

In fact Turkish people are annoyed by these kind of idiotic (its how they describe it) assumptions.

Well most Muslims dislike Turkish people claiming to be muslim, because most of them are not properly muslim.  There was this museum about religion I went to and spent some time reading and there was quite a lot about how other muslims countries do not consider turkish people to be actually muslim.


well that's that



I have decided - finish off all anime I have started watching and finish off stuff I have on my comp and take a break from anime. Need to get my shit together, not that anime is to blame, but I have to have as much free time as possible and no possibilities of escaping reality. Heh.

[metro.]

If you do disappear, and stop escaping reality, just make sure you don't but a bullet in your head or something.
Reality sucks, hard.

Ah, yes. Credit to asermax for being my researcher
Updated again. Not all of the combinations are up, and I haven't uploaded all of the sounds yet.
Now it works well on pretty much every new browser, save for some minor issues that Opera has with percentages, and not all browsers support the HTML 5 audio tag.


In other news, I feel like sleeping after eating several boxes of various candies.
