"Apps" for learning are a meme. Well, pretty much anything created specifically for learning Japanese is, whether it is textbooks, or courses, or '"'games'"', or whatever.
The main bulk of learning Japanese is listening/reading/watching material by natives for natives and consulting definitions of unknown words, just like any other language, and things like kanji don't make it any different in that aspect.
It's good to read a grammar guide in the beginning and memorize the most common/basic vocabulary using an "app", but after a point it's just a waste of time.
>Do you plan to visit Japan when you become fluent, anon?
I'm not against the idea, but I don't really have any plans, and generally I don't enjoy traveling too much.

>>196993
I'm a beginner so It's helpful to memorize words and get the kana down.
Once I have a more advanced knowledge I'll try to learn through watching animu.

I draw stuff. Not very good, but it's fun. I hope one day to have my own garage built next to my house so I can do welding and metalworking because I'm really good at those. They are also very expensive hobbies so unless I get very creative with my finances I'm several years away from getting that and have to resort to getting permission from my boss to use equipment at work for that kind of shit.
I did recently found out people will buy stupid shit like getting their names made out of horseshoes. It's really easy too, all you have to do is cut and bend the horseshoes into letters and then make a few small welds, clean it all up with a wire brush/sandblaster and then spray paint it. Someone gave me $100 for doing this, I got the horseshoes from a farmer I know for free and the spray paint was only a couple bucks so I made about $80 for not even an hour's work. I love making dumb little art pieces out of scrap metal.

>>197071
Well the drawing stuff isn't expensive I didn't mean to imply that.

AGDG.  I do all my arguing with the voices in my head, and then write it down as dialogue.
>>196987
I hated how much of my time duolingo wastes an repetition.  The "write this in Japanese" challenges have their utility, at least— you can't learn to write or form sentences just by reading.

You probably can't memorize uncommon vocabulary without anki, either, though whether that's essential depends on your use-case for the language.

MAID and other assisted suicide programs might be the start of it.
Personally, I think its too little and too late; they wanted to do away with eugenics and just raise genetic duds and fuckups with their so-called empathy, which quickly disappeared as soon as they grew up and stopped being children by any definition, and then it slowly dawned upon them that "holy shit, i have to take care of these things/pay for their upkeep with my taxes until they gracelessly expire of old age" (very old woman zipping up the jacket of her wrinkly downie son with gray hair, etc)
I don't particularly think of things like MAID as a bad thing, but I also understand (or maybe I don't understand) that not many people are going to share my opinion.

>you can't learn to write or form sentences just by reading
You can, it's just that it will come slower. Trying to write things yourself may help, but there's no point in doing it as a beginner, and you don't need an "app" for that. Also, when you already have a decent understanding, it may be helpful to read grammar books written in Japanese for Japanese people.
>You probably can't memorize uncommon vocabulary without anki, either
You only need to "memorize" the most common vocabulary so you can start reading actual stuff instead of using nigger apps. You will learn any uncommon vocabulary by seeing it (or reading the definition when you don't remember/know) enough times. If it's so rare that you will never remember it by the next time you see it, then there's not much of a point in "memorizing"/learning it either, unless you have some very specific "use-case" that requires it.

I write and I make data backups.

Potatoes are surprisingly easy to grow so long as you're careful not to let them get water logged. They also can't stand frost at all, but luckily you can just harvest the potatoes and put them in the ground the next year.

It is the only force for eugenics in modern society
Also have this idea for embryo selection process where we get the woman to release 1000s of eggs at one time, she has normal sex with her husband, we develop a process to look at the genetic sequence of every single embryo, then keep the one the parents want
The goal of this to not have the negatives of IVF in embryo selection

>>197199
>Also have this idea for embryo selection process where we get the woman to release 1000s of eggs at one time
Even assuming that your bizarre idea is even plausible, women have a limited stock of eggs.
Let's assume that a woman loses 12 eggs/year. (one per month, i.e menstrual cycle)
A woman is fertile for 30 years or so, meaning that she has like 400 eggs or so.
That would mean that a woman doesn't even have "1000s" of eggs to release at one time.

And the op says..... do you like arguing? Alt chans cannot take banter so you're way off base. They like safe places like a girl. But safe from what? Everyone practically or it'd have higher traffic and thus they don't know what they want, again, like a girl. crystal cafe is dead for a reason. So's wizchan and the like. You have to do something different, girls need free booze so you need to make that happen for yourselves. What is bait for an "autistic" though? Anime girls and hitler?

Banning wojaks makes you more similar to 4chan, not less. 4chan has mostly banned them too.
