orthography is useful for learners if they are used to explain the difference in the vowel sound - because english uses five characters for nearly all fifty something possible vowel sounds - but otherwise it's better not to worry about pronunciation because that's also a learned behaviour.

the vowel makes a sound and the consonant alters it.

how each consonant alters each sound and where within the word is a matter of learning patterns

if you're talking about phonetic characters like â ø ñ etc, then don't worry about that - those aren't something most people need to know for english

I am fully convinced one of the best mangaka of our generation is actually a trans woman who is stealthing to avoid getting dropped by shonen jump.

yeah. yeah...

guilt by association 😔

it's the avi isn't it?

"I detoxed from screens so I could focus better."

cool, good.

"and that lets me make money."

lame, bad.

try again, you're getting the idea but you've fucked up the vibe.

the whole "wake up at 5am and grind" that is inherent to capitalist thinking really fucks with your development as a human.

are you doing this shit to improve your self-awareness and introspection? no? what are you doing then? what the fuck is the point of your whole deal?

that girl has gone through a lot, and the worst part is she still technically doesn't have that friend she wanted.

it's like a purpose engineered hell and I get it, I really do.

"are women bourgeois?"

yes actually because the inherent reactionary framing of traditional communist thought is deeply
rooted in the veneration of the masculine as evidence of strong proletarian sentiment as opposed to the weak and effeminate bourgeoisie.

ie: misogyny.
which is the actual joke.
