Second. Also, I can read Japanese, and that’s Chinese.

Even for someone who’s illiterate, Chinese commas resemble English ones, just placed in the center of a full-width character box. Japanese commas are literally 「、」.

I care and I think it’s neat! Show pictures!

In English, in order to form a valid sentence, there needs to be at least one noun. While you can say “what’s the weather?” “raining,” as a reply, if there’s no implied subject, an empty noun must be established first. English would use “it” as a pure empty noun for the sake of the sentence.

But you also have to look like you belong in the circle: look like them, use their shibboleths. A Black trans woman will never be in the circle.

That said, the circle is dumb and the people within it are asocial jerks.

I think the best thing is to get the biggest burrito you can at a food cart, walk down a quiet pier overlooking a bay, and eat in silence while watching the water. Should be about 18°C outside, not too warm, but overcast, with no one nearby.

This is specific, but this is exactly what I want right now.
