@lina @Zerglingman @mangeurdenuage Yeah that's complete fucking bullshit and probably a cope post.
You can jump into an electrician trade school, get paid to be trained, and then start out in a 60-80k job all inside 6 months. If you're any good and willing to travel: double it.Machismo likes this. -

Fuck off boomer. I can tell you straight up that doesn't exist in my state, pretty sure it doesn't exist in my country.
Apprenticeships still exist but they're EXTREMELY fucking rare and tend to be filled within hours at most.
In truth, I can pay like $300/yr for that training, which is pretty damn good compared to all the other options. I'm still drawing blanks by the end of the year, that's probably what I'll do. -

@Zerglingman @akorenchkin @mangeurdenuage some people are willing to learn japanese to work or study, so it's worth the effort if you want, just a matter of making sure you can at least converse on a basic level before you actually move to study Machismo likes this. -

Cyka blyat would be most of that suffering (surely it can't be as bad as Japanese...) but I have no interest in it other than "I welcome our less-ZOGged overlords". -

I ain't a boomer and I'm not your daddy, no matter how nicely you ask and how many programming sock pics you send.
I know FIVE companies inside 20 miles right now that will hire electrical engineers (important part comes now) with ZERO experience and pay you $30/hr while they train you to assemble, wire and test control panel enclosures. If you can sign your name in english and speak the same, you get that job. Today.
And if you're not a drooling retard, they'll hire you on as a W-2 and you'll be buried in work.Machismo likes this. -

@Zerglingman @akorenchkin @mangeurdenuage it's fine as long as you don't treat it like english, it's a far more flexible and complex language and if you wish to do so, you can even speak exclusively in cuss words because of how you can form adjectives and verbs out of nouns Machismo likes this. -

@Zerglingman @lina @akorenchkin @mangeurdenuage it's not as bad as Japanese because it's very phonetic, without kanji, and because it's more closely related to English (it's still pretty distant, but Korean/Japanese grammar is super weird) and shares some basic Indo-European words, even before you get into recent English words that Japanese also has a lot of. You can learn the Russian qwerty keyboard layout (that's different on every single OS) and be comfortable in a day. You can write programs to manipulate and pull out Russian text very easily. Kanji makes Japanese input massively less convenient, and for programs even hiragana/katakana/romanji transforms are unpleasant because you lose information going through romanji. I got good enough to Chinese to have a job in it and it's so much less *convenient* than Russian, it's really striking how the little things add up.
but it's also worse than Japanese in that the sounds are harder: Japanese is almost like Spanish in how simple the sounds are for an English speaker, but Russian has the totally unfamiliar vowel ы and an inscrutable 'softness' vs. 'hardness' of consonants, books telling you that you have to say a 'y' at the same time as you're saying something else, etc. In English you raise your tone to indicate a question throughout the sentence, but in Russian you raise inflection on a single syllable in a sentence to indicate what you're asking about, and you don't raise inflection if you have a question word (who, what, where). And although Kanji's a lot to remember (worse than Chinese in the variability of the hiragana readings, and highly technical Japanese may as well be Chinese for how numerous the kanji are), Russian verbs have *huge* conjugation tables and Russian weirdly takes motion-verbs incredibly seriously.
for use as a pirate language, Russian's great. Specifically for a weeb, there's a lot of anime and manga and translated webnovels, and Russian doesn't have trannylators who aggressively use they/them. But, if you learn Japanese there are storefronts that as a westerner you can easily buy from to get the water straight from the spring. Even if you know Russian, sanctions make it difficult to buy anything from Russian sites.
And learning Russian doesn't help at all if you want to watch Japanese vtubers. -

There's a very simple solution to this.
>an inscrutable 'softness' vs. 'hardness' of consonants
Isn't that just the same as tenten?
>you raise inflection on a single syllable in a sentence to indicate what you're asking about
oh lawdy that would give me no end of grief speaking. Would make listening so nice though.
