Hianime? They have both dubs and subs at the same time. For non-english subs/dubs there're probably pirate versions too. And yes, subs and dub will be slightly different anyway because dubbers change it sligthly for better flow or lip sync if needed.

>'You' elect the government. Even if you didn't vote for ruling parties, majority did.

It's funny that people still believe governments let people elect anything. You can vote, you can ignore elections - result will be the same, your opinion doesn't matter

No. Countries just will take money from their people. It diminishes people capacity to survive.

No, that's just result of TONS of resets until you get something decent. 99% of the time you'll get trash, but that 1% is cool

>I wish educators would stop telling people that it’s not reliable

Why? It's really not reliable. It doesn't have any decent standards for sources. Any controversial topic is a constant edit war. Wikipedia is only good when you're okay if info turn out to be false.

I tried this right now and noticed that I count tap for the first time. But the most important thing is that all of them are different and form a repeatable pattern. So brain just remembers the sensation of the fourth tap and I can tap in fourths subconsciously for a while.

The other way to deal with this exercise is just tapping for the odd count in one place and for the even in another. So you know when the fourth tap is because you subconsciously know it was long enough time after the second one and it is in the right place on the table.
