not to mention

totally. it also helps you improve your english by bringing your attention to grammar in different languages.

I have a practical reason I decided to begin learning Japanese. My school only offers English Sign Language, French, Spanish, and Japanese as language courses. I have no interest in flailing my arms around like an autist all day, and I absolutely despise Spanish and French. I've hated Spanish with a passion for as long as I can remember, in like 3rd grade we had a mandatory Spanish class and it was the first class I ever fell asleep in. French just sounds like a drunk person with a cold speaking Spanish. So, I decided to take Japanese via process of elimination. No weabooness involved.

i think spanish is pretty useful, but there's probably not much demand for it because lots of english people already know spanish as well.

i dont recall chinese being pictoral,

does 花 look like a flower

does 猫 look like cat

i dont think so, there might be some but not a whole bunch

correct

some of them are pictoral, some of them are ideographic. for example, 人 is a person standing on two legs, and it means person. 大 is a person with their arms out attempting to look big. 看 is somebody putting a hand above their eye to shield from the sun. 口 is a mouth.

note that i'm going off of the chinese definitions, but they're definitely pictoral.

I hate weeaboos. I don't conisder myself a weeaboo, I'm actually Japanese for real, well almost. I will be when I live in Japan though. Right now I'm studying japanese, japanese history and I'm following Bushido, the way of the warrior. This is why I hate weeaboos that know 5 words in japanese and use them all the time, kawaai baka DESU NE MOTHERforgetER. I'm actually trying to become Japanese for real unlike all these faker wees. forget YOU WEEABOOS

following a hundreds of years old code seems pretty weaboo to me.

why do people automatically assume that anyone learning japanese is a weeaboo?

learning japanese is by no means pointless. it has a big enough population that translators are in demand, albeit not as much as other countries like germany

中国最好国！！日本很坏!

wait are you saying your backup drive is connected to your computer all the time?

i personally have no need for a backup so no, but i imagine there are several people who keep their drive in.

The actual concept is pretty smart, too. The price is only $300 (effectively the price of a new computer). The only people dumb enough to actually download the virus are guaranteed to be dumb enough to not have backed up their files anywhere and are also much more likely to actually pay the sum of money.

it connects to connected drives too though, so if you had some time machine-esque setup it would be affected too

Yeah, that's surprising.

not really. if they didn't decrypt it, word would get around that they won't give you your files back whether you pay or not, then people would stop paying.

you plan on overclocking?
and its kinda like if you go with intel, you'll have a worse video card for the price but if you go with an amd cpu youll have a better video card, since amd cpu's cost a bit less and youll have more left over for a better video card

not sure. as long as the AMD cpu runs pretty well and doesn't bottleneck the GPU, AMD is fine

Processor brand preference?

it's not for me, but i'd imagine intel is a better suit in this case

Superfighters Deluxe. Go look up a youtube video, it's pretty cool. It's like a 2D expendables game.

If that proves to be too much of a hassle, play the first one, Superfighters. it's a flash game and almost as fun.
