Hi! I’m Chinese and this is incorrect. 吗 (mā) and 边 (biān) actually have the same flat intonation, so there isn’t a rise in pitch in either of the questions. To answer OP, the word 吗 in particular is just typically used to end off some sentences in order to differentiate whether they are statements or questions, ie. 你要回家。(You want to go home.) vs 你要回家吗？(Do you want to go home?)

kill yourself! (persona 3 reference btw)

You may have misread. They are using Asahi on their MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip.

The cable on the Grado SR60X and her siblings are comically long. They are pretty thick too, so I decided to braid them up, reducing their length from 2 down to about 0.6 metres. You can look up some easy guides on YouTube for this.

Chiming in to say that I agree with you! Texting in lowercase just feels right to me, especially with friends and family.

Add-ons on mobile. Plus, Chrome is slowly but surely gimping their ad-blocking extensions.

That’s Growlithe, though.

That’s not on you. If the phone feels too large for you, then that’s what it is.

If I may, I’ve been enjoying the ZenFone 9 for over a year now, and have no complaints. It’s a good 8mm shorter than the 7a, and I can use it one-handed no problem. Other notable traits include a fantastic battery life, a clean software experience, and a headphone jack(!). If you can afford it, you can spring for this year’s ZenFone 10 too.

Maybe it’s too little too late, but if you’re looking to return or switch in the future, that’s my recommendation.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
