  • Japanese pronunciation ?

    For example I will use waratte since I've noticed it recently. So I hear it pronounced warat-te when speaking, and I've always learned that the double consonant is like a brief pause. But I heard it in a couple songs sang like wara-a-te. I see those a lot with all the double consonants. Is this just something they do in music because the pause wont flow that well, or are there times when a word has a pause or a repeated vowel sound? I've just been learning double consonants as a pause, but all the music I've heard keeps putting it as a double vowel sound.

  • Ways to work on self improvement?

    Anybody have any tips for strengthening your concentration, work ethic, and self-esteem? I feel like these are my three biggest problems. When it comes to something like the body it is easy. Need to be healthier? Exercise and eat smarter. Or if you need to learn a skill just practice it. But how do you work on any of those three? Try concentrating harder? If I could concentrate on things I wouldn't have to work at it. Try working harder? Same thing. I can maybe force myself to work harder some days, but I feel no sense of importance or accomplishment from it and it doesn't form a habit of working harder. Then with self-esteem I can't just not hate myself or feel more confident. If I could easily just change my way of thinking then these things wouldn't be a problem. So basically is there any sort of long term training I can do like I would to strengthen my body or learn a skill, but for those three issues? Or should I just see a doctor and get medicated?

  • HDR Pro TV?

    I've seen a few HDR Pro 4k TVs that say they're 8-bit. I thought they would have to be 10-bit. If I get one, what benefits would it have over 1080p besides resolution?

  • Program to convert video audio?

    I have mkv files and they have dts audio. The problem is that Xbox One won't play dts audio so I need to re-encode it, but every program wants me to re-encode the entire video which takes forever. Is there any way to just re-encode the audio without having to redo the video as well?

  • Any good websites to learn about music and equipment?

    I know there are many places to teach you how to play instruments and give you bits of information about the instruments, but does anyone know of any good places to learn about different types of microphones, guitars, amps, drums, cymbals, etc?

  • Should I delete my Facebook?

    Every time I get on Facebook I see all my "friends". I see statuses and pictures about all the fun things they're doing. I see people making jokes and having a good time. Everybody's connecting, except me. My friends are making plans without me. My crushes are flirting with other people. Rarely does anyone care what I have to say. Then I decide to take the risk and say hi to people and 99% of the time I get ignored. The other 1% of the time a conversation actually actually happens!... until they quit responding about 3 messages later. But if I delete Facebook, then I lose what social life I do have. And by social life I mean reading about other people's social life. And I have worse luck finding friends in real life than I do on Facebook. Do you think I should delete my Facebook and maybe have a chance at being slightly happier at the expense of having no social life whatsoever?

  • What's wrong with me?

    I think there is something seriously wrong with me. I guess I'll start off with my most recent problem: I'm unemployed. Every time I start filling out job applications I get depressed and just stop. I know that I'm not going to be happy with anywhere that I work. There is literally nothing I want to do, but I have pushed through it before. Basically every job sucks. There is absolutely nothing that I want to do career-wise either. My coworkers are usually alright with me, but I've never found one that actually had similar interests to me and wanted to be friends outside of work. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing something I hate just to come home to being even more bored and miserable. I don't really have anybody. I'm a 20 year old male, and there's a few people who will talk to me, but I only have one true friend and that's my 16 year old female cousin. She's really all I have, but she has other friends and other things to do with her life like a normal human being so I can't hang out with her all the time. So yeah, I have no job and get depressed even thinking about one. I even almost went suicidal because I hated my one job so much. I have only one real friend, nobody else really cares for me. Love life sucks because I have less luck with that than finding friends. I have no goals or aspirations and I don't really have anything that I'm even good at to work with. I have no idea what help I expect to get on here, but I'm just looking for any advice at all.

  • Update games on Xbox 360 or just HDD?

    When you update games on the Xbox 360 does it just need to HDD or the console itself? I'm assuming just the HDD, but I want to make sure. My cousin doesn't have internet at her house so I was going to bring her HDD and games over to my house and just update them here, on my Xbox 360, then give them back. Would that work or would I need her Xbox 360 to make the updates really work?

  • Help with a friend? Dizzy, shaking, falling over, etc.?

    Okay, a little info about my friend in case it helps. She's 18, underweight, on her period, and going through stress. Then again, her whole life has been stressful. Oh, and she has no insurance and is between jobs so she can't afford a doctor. I'm thinking I'll probably have to pay for her to go.

    So we were hanging out at the mall yesterday. Everything was normal until she started to stumble a little. She was in heels so I thought nothing of it. She said she needed food so we went to the food court and got in line. While in line, she started to lean and stumble a little more so I had her sit down while I went to go get the food. She seemed fine for a little, but she starting doing it again not long after. She also looked like she was zoning out a little. After a couple more hours she got worse. She would just completely snap out of reality for a few seconds and practically fall over. I had to put my arm around her just to keep her upright. Eventually when we got to the parking lot I just carried her to the car. She insisted she was fine and that she wanted to keep hanging out so we went and got more food and went to Walmart and stuff. As the night went on she basically just got worse. She said she just wanted to go somewhere and relax so we agreed on a movie. Half the movie she kept dozing of and coming back. Then the part that worries me the most happened. She starting shaking. It seemed like a seizure, but not as bad as a normal one. I put my arm around her and that seemed to calm her down a little. I told her after the movie and she didn't even realize she was doing it. After the movie we went to Kmart because she just didn't want to go home, and left soon after because she was just a wreck. she couldn't walk on her on, constantly dozed off, and talked with slurred speech. I carried her to the car and started to bring her home. She still didn't want to go home so she told me to just drive around for a while. I figured, why not? As long as she's in a cushioned seat she should be fine. She fought dozing off for a while then eventually just passed out on me in my car. I drove around a little while she slept and then eventually just took her home. She woke up and got inside safely then texted me for a few more hours until she passed out again. She's hanging out with her friends again today and said she was feeling dizzy again so I told her to just go home, but she won't listen. She insists she's fine. I'm just worried about her, and like I said, she has no insurance or money to go to the doctor. Is there anybody who has any idea as to what may be going on?

  • Should I go to therapy?

    I seriously think I should. My life sucks. Sure, there are plenty of people who have it way worse, and I know that, but emotionally I just can't stop hating my life. First let's start out with my relationship with other people. I have grown to resent other people. I want people to notice me and talk to me. I actually want to have real friends, but at the same time I can't bare to talk to anyone because I know that one day they're just to start ignoring me or just abandon me all together. This combined with my low self-confidence is a bad combination. I hate the way I look and the way I act. I wish I was normal in any sense of the word, but I'm just one weird screw up. I also have trouble sleeping anymore. I usually just lay in bed at night thinking of life and all the things I hate. I have a body pillow and a pillow pet that I cuddle for comfort, which is odd since I'm a 19 year old male. I also can't seem to enjoy anything that I used to anymore. I used to love video games. Now I find it a chore to play even my favorite games for more than 20 minutes. I also can't watch t.v. anymore. I have it on for like an hour every night as background noise, but I rarely ever watch it. I also used to love exercise, but after forcing myself to do it for 5 minutes I just want to give up. Don't even get me started on my love life. So basically I hate my love life, hate my social life, hate my appearance, hate all my failures, hate how I can't find happiness, and just plain hate that I'm living. I'm too much of a coward to kill myself, so I figured therapy was the next best thing. Just from this small rundown covering about 1% of my feelings, what do you guys think?

  • 19 year old boy dating 15 year old girl?

    This isn't a question of morality. I personally don't care about the age gap and she doesn't either. I really like this girl and she really likes me. We don't plan on getting sexual, but we do want to date. We're going out this weekend and she wants me to pretend I'm 17, but I just want to come clean and just tell her parents I'm 19 before they find out on their own. I feel like if I talked to her parents and explained my intentions beforehand that things would go better. I've also thought about pretending to be 17 for like a month until the parents warm up to me and then tell them. Basically, I want to know what you guys think is the best course of action for me to take to make this work out between us.
