Please talk to yourself in English, and leave.

It's rainning today. I feel bad. I have a slight headache. I've listened to the radio too long. Human realionships are so complicated and difficult. I'm so tired out. But I have to go on ahead. I can't stop because of such and such.
Karen Carpenters said rainy days and Mondays always got her down. Guess many people feel the same way.
Maybe you also listened to the radio waiting for your favorite songs.
I watched Lord of The Rings, first part today. The battle scenes still amaze me.
What would come to mind when you hear "Static can put you in an awkward position."?
Denpa?

Well, the sentence is being discussed in 2ch. Could you discribe what it means, please?
The grammar is fine, but that sentence by itself isn't enough to understand the situation. Many things can receive "static", so it's hard to guess what the "awkward position" would be.
Thanks a lot. I guess you always help us out. We are thankful to you.
I have something I'd like to ask. The previous question does not really address the issue being discussed on 2-Ch. I hope you can shed some light on this.
Some insist that the phrase "Static can put you in an awkward position" cannot be applied to static electricity. Their reasoning is that since awkward only applies to a very distressing situation, it cannot mean simple electrical static. I don't agree with them.
This reminds me of an American TV commercial of the 80's for an anti-static spray used on clothes. What is your take on this.
>>362
I can't tell whether you are serious.
But I think that phrase is fine, especially regarding a situation like you refer to. "Static [cling] can put you in an awkward position"--like if you're a woman and your skirt sticks to your blouse. Or if you are installing computer equipment and get a shock from static electricity, destroying important data. "Awkward" does not mean "very distressing," anyway--more like "uncomfortable."
>>363
It is hard to believe but I am serious. I was in Hell in 2-ch. They use this kind of daunting tactic to gang up on people who try to point out that they might have made a mistake. It is impossible to have a calm reasonable discussion. I was trying to explain their mistakes in both English and Japanese (including the question about "awkward" that I asked here). I said basically the same thing you said, and you can't believe the abusive treatment I got. What kind of place is 2-ch anyway? Well, thanks for talking to me.
I went to Expo. It was less crowded than I had expected. But it was so windy and cold. I had a slight cold.
>>365
Good for you. I guess you walked around everywhere you wanted to in the place since it was less crowded. How did you find it? The frozen mammoth is exciting?
And take a rest and sleep off the cold.
Expo would be wonderful because we can learn or enjoy the progress of science and technology mankind has achieved. But on the other hand we have to prevent destruction of nature. A lot of trees were cut down to make the Expo sites. We should control runaway scientific and technological development.
Agreed. But come to think of it, I found it silly to have cut down the trees in order to construct the buildings of the Expo/to develope the site.. I thought the theme of it was coexistence with neture or something like that. Very ridiculous...
>>363
Don't take what he said seriously. He's out of his mind. He tlanslated Static into trouble. Have you ever refferred to static as trouble? Nobody insisted awkward only applies to a very distressing situation. If he sticks to his misleading comment, we must refer to him as Denpa/DQN. What's been discussed is that if you hear "Static can put you in an awkward position", it's not common to translate static into trouble without any context.
He insisted that "Static can put you in an awkward position" mean "Electricity makes a skirt's shape very odd." I don't think it's true, though.
Is static a skirt?
Oh, there is a slang expression in which you can say someone is giving you static, and you mean trouble. I think static --> interference on TV or radio channel --> interference with you --> trouble. It's street slang, and would almost certainly not fit the formal sentence "Static can put you in an awkward position."
>>371
Are you talking about me? If I insisted anyhthing, it was only that the phrase cannot be translated to "A person who causes trouble will be put in a difficult situation", but it does not mean that I am insisting that the other option is true all the time. I merely mentioned that there are contexts such as the anti-static t.v. comercial.
>>370
Are you also talking about me? It's confusing. Are you backing me up or calling me a Dempa?
Anyway, it was confusing on 2-ch where you don't know who is posting what. If you want to talk about this here to clarify, in a different venue, you're welcome to.
You're always complaining.
I was flamed on the 2ch english board for posting a reply entirely in English. Is this common?
Not if you stick to a rule of the thread you posted in.
The demand for improving speaking skills in English has created a boom for English conversation schools in Japan. But I wonder how many people have been able to achieve their goal.
To my surprise I wasn't reimbursed my travel expenses. Our president is very stingy. But it is due to his excellent management that our company is well-run. Should I give up?
The problem is that when I see her legs I become erect. I'm tempted to touch her legs. I don't want to get into trouble. to
There have been lot of big earthquakes recently. I live in the area where scientists say there will be a big earthquake sooner or later. I have to know how to evacuate our apartment when a big earthquake happens.
I don't know what to do with myself.
I guess her age at 30. You've guessed it.
I spend too much time distracting myself from what I should I do. This is why I am always late with my duties.
"Static [cling] can put you in an awkward position."
The phrase is somewhat unusual; it is unsurprising to hear that it is a marketing slogan for laundry fabric softener. One might say "static cling is irritating," or perhaps "static cling is troublesome," but is static awkward?
The key is that the words "awkward position" connote embarrassment. Have you ever been caught with your fly down? Skirt up? Certainly you can agree that nobody wants to be embarrassed like that in public! Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment you should buy and use Brand Name Fabric Softener. Presumably, in avoiding embarrassment you will attract beautiful people of the opposite gender like flies to honey, thanks to your newfound powers of static-free sexy attractiveness.
It seems as if the tendency in Japan towards poor English education stems from the utilization of archaic, unworkable second language teaching methodologies and misguided support from the bureaucracy. Introduction of the language at earlier ages along with hiring competent speakers for teaching positions and use of modern curricula focused on conversational competency rather than development of translation skills would enhance English fluency and encourage the use of the language in natural settings outside of the classroom. Teacher hiring is an essential problem because the educational hierarchy is biased towards local hire rather than hiring based on competence. If foreigners were hired for teaching positions--rather than for advisory capacities--then the quality of education would increase dramatically. However the widespread bureaucratic xenophobia and OB network serve as significant stumbling blocks in the path of hiring changes.
I heard Yukorin's fart smells like vanilla. So we believe her fart smells absolutely good.
I hypnotized her, and tried to open her legs. But as a matter of fact she made believe to be hypnotized.
There is no accounting for taste. After all only when we like it, we can make progress in it or get a lot of money by doing it.
The more I practice, the less confidence I have. I feel sad.
To have a lot of guts is the most important. But now I'm getting older, so I can't have the guts to achieve something valuable. It's the biggest problme for me.
>>396 Neet. Don't come here. Go back to 2-chan, which is the most suitable for you.
It takes two to tango.

It is obvious that he is much weaker than F. But why did T have to have a match with F?
I don't wanna go to work tomorrow, rather I wanna travel around the world.
How come Yukorin trolls invade every monologue thread, here and on 2channel?
These NEETs should use their time for something more useful, like posting on /dqn/:

Admin's note: fart jokes deleted.
I don't have anything good to drink at my house so I will have to buy groceries soon. I don't want to, though.
It's so good to delete too stupid posts. The Admin is very wise.
I feel desperate in learnig a foreign language. Only 2% can make it.
I'm good at get into the narrow hole of women's heart.
I thought it's good. It is ofen the casse with us, many people have got me wrong.
I hate trying to understand Japanese input methods in Linux because the documentation is in complex nerd-style Japanese. I just want to add kaomoji stuff to my user dictionary, but I can't figure out how.
Why did so many people attended the funeral of John Paul the second?
The world has many religions to offer to me. I think if were to take one of them seriously, it would be Shintoism.
> The world has many religions to offer to me. I think if I were to take one of them seriously, it would be Discordianism.
Fixed.
I would choose Catholic church. It is the true Christianity which church fathers made, related to Jesus.
If I spent half an hour studying and half an hour exercising each day, I'd be much happier. But instead I sit here with my laptop. Something's wrong with me.
Canker sore is so painful. I can't stand it.
That part is so itchy. Why? Medicine doesn't kill the itchy feelings. This year I've got a new problem.
I have a migraine, but there is work I need to do.
I feel happiest when I see K laughing.
When I speak aloud, I feel good. Stress is gone.
I felt I was not successful in today's teaching.
In mastering a foreign language, practicing is the most important. It's easy to understand, but difficult to do.
I got a cold. Feels like I am high or something.
I might have got a bad desease. I feel scared.
It's getting hotter. It has advantage and disadvantage. I feel itchy when it is warm. It's like atomic dermatitis.
Finally, I have the weekend to myself.
...so bored...

Things are getting better. I feel a little relieved. I had to stay in a long tunnel.
I don't like tunnels. I suffer from claustrophobia.
I wonder why this thread is amazing. I want to hear an amazing story.
Why is the ID of this thread "Heaven"? The founder of this thread must be a Christian.
The software used on 4-ch is called "Kareha" (http://wakaba.c3.cx/).
On Kareha, there are several options how IDs are handled.
The one used on here is that whenever you put anything in the E-Mail field, no ID code will be generated.
Instead, ID:Heaven will be displayed next to the post.
The "Heaven" bit is some traditional thing which evolved from Shiichan, I think (software used on world4ch.org). It was originally meant to only be enabled for administrators and moderators of a board.
After all we are too easy on our children or brothers and sisters.

As spring blossoms, the Internet users who had taken refuge indoors begin to venture back out into the world, leaving just the socially-inept, maladjusted shut-ins behind.
Maybe this place will pick up steam again in the fall.
Always mind the Eternal September!

Seasons are relative, yo. It's getting colder, where I am.
Sometimes I feel I can speak English fluently, but it doesn't last. I wonder why/
Needs more practice.
I'm going to New York from Aug 16 t0 21. What would be the best place to see?
