Where you from ? <| sep |> I ' m taking my first Japanese class at Uni currently PostIntermediate after self studying for about 2 years . It ' s definitely worth it , you learn so much just from having a native there to correct your mistakes and explain little nuances that aren ' t in the textbook . We ' re even using the same textbook I ' ve been using so far and It ' s still worth it all the way . <| sep |> Down it goes and out that comes <| sep |> Always remember that for each thing that you or someone you know may like for example , being spanked there ' s always tons of people who like an extreme version of it gore , blood etc <| sep |> My guess is that 2 k is just high enough to have tryhards , but just low enough that a lot of those tryhards are toxic shits and some of the reason they can ' t climb further is because of that . Just a hunch . Possibly you ' ve just gotten very unlucky lately . Or maybe you ' ve been doing something to trigger these folks . Either way , just roll with it and know that sometimes the feeder will be on the other team . Balance in all things .
