Kyoto Animation arson attack

It was my grandmother’s homemade plum wine.

She has passed away now, so it remains a very strong memory for me.

I recently had a house built, and most of the outlets do support grounding.

However, it's not very common to actually use them — many appliances don’t have grounded plugs, or the shapes don’t match.

I’d say only things like washing machines, microwaves, and rice cookers tend to use them.

Here's the global site, sorry I posted the Japanese one earlier
https://umamusume.com/

By the way, all of the characters in Umamusume are anthropomorphized versions of real racehorses.

Umamusume Pretty Derby

I've been playing for about 3.5 years.

Just to add a small note—“勉強” is written as “べん きょう”(ben kyou) in hiragana.

I usually do use proper punctuation like the Japanese full stop "。",

but recently there's been a trend—especially among younger people—where it's sometimes avoided.

Some even call it “maru-hara” (short for “full stop harassment”), suggesting that ending a sentence with "。" can come off as cold or aggressive.

I guess that's why I ended up not using it myself, especially in casual contexts like social media.

On the other hand, I'm studying English myself. I'm still only at around a Japanese middle school level, but I hope to reach the point where I can interact with people in places like this.

That said, I'm still relying on AI to write this.

I’ve played a lot of Korean games since way back, and there are plenty of songs I like — even though I have no idea what they’re saying.

I still play games like DJMAX and EZ2ON, and I just enjoy the vibe without understanding the lyrics.

I never owned one, but the KOHJINSHA DZ series was one of the most striking laptops I’d ever seen.

It wasn’t a touchscreen, but it could switch into a tablet-style mode, and it had dual 10.1-inch displays, which was pretty crazy at the time.
