umami, the japanese word for reading the savory flavor of your opponent

a wicked sorcerer cast a silvery powder to the sky with a grim chant, and from it issued a killing-wind, hoary and strong, to blight fields and lay low man and beast

By 2030 every job will be advertised like Heartless White Boy Needed For Disposable Vape Retail Sales Excellence and its gonna make you take an hourlong AI-powered interrogation with questions like "being a player with no game - moral/immoral" "I can go pimp mode - me/not me"

not even to touch on the issues MTL has translating within and between western languages. you're lucky if it can tell northern germanic languages apart from each other, it trips over itself to a horrifying degree with greek, and god forbid it tries to identify something like walon

at its best, MTL is used with all the reliability and purpose of a phrase dictionary that just happens to have a very convenient search engine built into it

it can be a very useful reference, especially alongside a phrase lookup to make sure you're using words that people have said before, but you're putting a lot of weight on a decorative wall by using it as a primary translator

also shoutout to google translate trying to work between slavic and romance languages, because it's genuinely kind of an achievement for a machine translator to return a word that is not only visibly not in either of the involved languages, but one which also manages to be a brand new word that a quick search reveals nobody has ever used before

shoutout to the time a bunch of jokesters in japan convinced bing [マンコ] meant "wizards of waverly place"

there's an episode of malcolm in the middle where he just shuts up and stops complaining for awhile and it immediately starts to significantly improve his life but also it causes him an ulcer and by the end of the episode he is literally spitting up blood and i have always deeply and unshakably believed that is exactly how the situation would play out for me too

I NEED A SICKO... im holding out for a sicko till the end of the night ..and hes gotta haha and hes gotta say yess at the window with a look of delight
