When was I being an asshole. Your ego took whatever I said personally.

Reality check incoming. Yes you are an asshole. Your word choice matters, and you picked a large number of insulting terms.

"not ... smart", "[only use is to] win stupid games.", "[you will spend] your life doing jobs you hate for money".

My dude, I'm learning Japanese vocabulary, which has helped me to start reading light novels for fun. By your argument: I'm not smart, wasting my time, and hate my life, or soon will?

Thing is I would fully agree with you that memorizing != comprehension, but that doesn't mean than memorizing is without it's use. Do yourself a favor and learn to not be so rude. It is literally the first item in the site guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky.

  • You got triggered because I said memorizing something doesn't make one smart. And called me an asshole.

    You also said reading stuff in English give you less satisfaction than reading in Japanese.

    You might want to reflect on why that is the case.

    • Triggered? Nah, I was merely answering your question. It's clear at this point that any more time I spend here would only be feeding a troll, so rather than address any of that nonsense I think I'll do something more productive instead. Maybe I'll do some flashcards.
