mull = problematic Firefox installation?
No, that's just asking you to keep uncover false downloads. I don't believe that it is saying that because your own download was false.

What is an interesting fact that you recently discovered?
Ferrero (the company that owns Kinder, Nutella and Ferrero Rocher) controlled one quarter of the global production of hazelnuts in 2014.

Don't let people make fun of you for liking japanese culture.
I am living in japan right now and let me tell ya:
There are people here who can't speak or understand English who play nothing but Missy elliot and ludacris, even in businesses like housing offices and restaurants.
There are people who have cowboy hats and dead cow skulls in their home because they idolize what they assume American homes are like.
There are people who learn English strictly through music videos and American television shows. There are entire karaoke bars with english songs often sung by people who have no idea what the lyrics mean.
Japan often takes American shows like the powerpuff girls and make japanese versions of them.
They often mistake common Americans for celebrities. I have been mistaken for Micheal jordan, tiger woods, Shaquille o'neal, Tyler perry, and saddest of all: queen latifa.
The act of sprinkling English into your japanese sentences is considered cute and cool and is popular with teenagers. Bonus points if you happen to use it correctly.
Japanese stores sell shirts with english on them and people buy them not knowing that most of those word combinations are nonsense.
Don't let someone shame you for singing an anime opening, using japanese in your sentences, wearing clothing with japanese on it, ect. If anything, this is just one more thing that you have in common with them.

The American/Japanese cultural exchange is so pure and wonderful and I love it so much

OK BUT RESONATE WITH THE SHIRT THING THOUGH
My Chinese relatives buy me shirts from China with English letters on them hoping I think it's cool
I have a shirt that says "Hi Quality Uality"
It's amazing

And then what's really great is Americans getting tattoos of Chinese characters thinking they mean one thing when they really don't

Oh, unsensored songs are pretty common.
I should not be hearing an unsensored 'Magic Stick' playing at a family restaurant.
And the best thing is when literally no one shows that they understand what is being said.

I was in a Chinese cafe one time and they had obviously put on their "fuck you" playlist. I mean, uncensored versions of Fuck You by Lilly Allen, Fuck You by Cee-lo Green, etc. No one else had any idea.
kazoomusic Oh, also, I got my favorite shirt ever in a little tchotchky store in Sichuan:
[Photo of a shirt that reads "I wish that I had never met you" In cartoon balloons the words "TOUCH MY BUTT" "Then there would be mo need to imprese you o need to want you.No Naed for. loring you No need tar crying over you.Noneed for heartbreaks.No nead for paln oru tears.No neard for forgoure promises .nead for"]

For every american teenager that is screaming the lyrics to their favorite anime opening, there's likely at least 1 or 2 Japanese teens singing English profanities at a karaoke bar.

Bro went to Japan and went to a karaoke bar with some high schoolers. They wanted to show me how good their Japanese rap was. Turned on kanye. Fucking sang the word nigga and everything. It was hella based
cheshireinthemiddle [Photo of a text, sent by "Joshua" that reads "My friend that works at Lockheed Martin had a group of Japanese defense representatives touring the plant. While on lunch he heard them arguing over whether King of the Hill is better subbed or dubbed. One even said "Japanese doesn't express the essence of the characters like English does" this basically confirms that King of the Hill is in fact Texas anime."]

That's horrifying. I remember using the avast private browser when I was younger as to not get tracked by Google chrome, but i was just getting tracked by avast instead. :(

I recently discovered, after a while of wondering why the audio quality in windows was worse than fedora that the automatic windows audio enhancements actually made the audio significantly worse 😅 meanwhile I still haven't figured out how to stop windows from randomly switching the audio source from my headphones to my nonexistent display monitor audio.
