Have been self-employed for more than three years. Also, you can stop with the bait. Seriously. It's clear you have nothing to say of substance and are just trying to get a rise out of me. It's kinda sad.

WTF does recognizing that average chicks in X Asian country don't frequent bars, let alone ex-pat friendly/English-speaking bars have anything to do with this dumb loving statement you've just made that again assumes more nonsense. I'm being 100% serious. You sound like someone who has never really been comfortable or good in social situations and who has a lot of hate for people who are. You probably don't understand how blatantly obvious it is because you assume everyone else is as bad at reading subtext as you are.

caberham posted:They met in Taiwan Full disclosure, this isn't true either. It doesn't really matter where I met her, however. Pandemonium hasn't really narrowed this particular generalization down to Taiwan. He's consistently said "in Asia" or "in this part of the world". So if I'd met her in Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, or Vietnam it wouldn't have mattered. I met an Asian girl in an Asian bar in Asia. Further, the more important thing is that she's Taiwanese, and therefore the type of Taiwanese girl that would go to a bar or nightclub and I guess that implies something about her character.

Knew the guy was in Bangkok. Did I say I knew he met his wife there? There you go reading way too much into my posts. Welcome to the club, I guess. I wrote he was there, and he should know the general type of character that goes to bars and night clubs. I feel like I haven't been a broken record enough in this thread . But, yeah, feel free to misinterpret like your other buddies.Yeah, it's not specific to Taiwan. It's a bit unnerving that some people seem to think I mean every girl that walks through the doors of a bar at any point in time in Asia is in my mind a trollop skank and Atlas Hugged clearly married one. Maybe people should try to read less into a general statement. And maybe people shouldn't apply general statements to individual cases. I would have joined the LINE group, but Barto's creepiness has thoroughly turned me off of having much to do with you guys outside of this poo poo thread.

Pandemonium posted:I wrote two sentences, and the best you can do is generalize and hand-wave. What exactly are you referring to. I'll bite. 真笨的你 is awkward as gently caress. You aren't calling him dumb here. You've used "the really dumb you" as a subject, similar to how one might say "the new me" or whatever, and it doesn't link up with the rest of your sentence. If you change the 的 to 誒 or something, it works verbally. 笨誒你! 謝天謝地 is also out of place at the end of that sentence. Would you ever say thank heavens that you laughed at someone unskilled trying to speak a language? Maybe, but you'd be weird for saying it. 還有一件事: you aren't announcing anything. 還有 is enough. The biggest problem with this post is that it is obviously foreigner Mandarin. 得重複上面的人說你和你的醜字 is not something you should be writing if you passed the TOCFL. Your whole edit should just be 簡體字滾開啦幹 tbh. Barto is right. It's poorly constructed, but hey, any native or fluent speaker will think it's cute that you're trying! e: I spend five whole minutes typing with freezing hands on this.

Most of the posters here are all too happy to make a poo poo post calling me an autist or something equally unoriginal. So I'm supposed to reply to such poo poo posts with my best manners? No thanks. I think I'll just poo poo post like you all! Except minus the continual incorrect assumptions. And plus stuff I know will just absolutely trigger you  And yeah, I'm gonna stay on Bar to being an absolute creeper with the insinuations he keeps making that he knows my ex-coworkers and by extension who I am. With a nice dash of ominous I did or said something or things terrible before that everyone still talks about or something. None of which is true, and all of which is a super creepy frosting to his cake of empty gesticulating at my super terribad Chinese.

He has already said several times he's in Bangkok. drat, keep up. Did you miss when he posted the article aimed at veteran ESL teachers in Thailand that was full of advice for newcomers and said "be glad you aren't here"? Consider deleting this post cuz it makes you look pretty bad in your gambit to always have a cute quip or video that you think is somehow relevant.

Your denseness is troubling and you post such vague bullshit that it is mildly frustrating. Did you or did you not see Atlas Hugged's post where he said he is in Thailand? How is me saying that he is there anything at all close to Barto going "hey bro, had dinner with people who know you and they dished all about some terrible stuff you Did or said." I really wanna give you the benefit of the doubt that you are also just posting bait because you can't be this dense in pursuit of a sweet (and non-existent) "gotcha".

I'm actually going to give Pandemonium the benefit of the doubt and say what he meant, and what everyone including myself misinterpreted as meeting a Taiwanese girl in a Bangkok bar was somehow different than meeting one in Taiwan, was that as a long time expat who has lived in Bangkok, I of all people should know the types of people who live in Asia. That may or may not be true, but it's still irrelevant to criticizing his comment about the type of girl that goes to a bar in Asia. He has since walked that back a bit by saying not to apply his generalizations to every person. I'd say go further and just don't make assumptions about people because of where you or they are in the world. I've made some legitimate friends in some pretty questionable places.

Based on your English, I absolutely believe you would use 謝天謝地. You've missed my point with the last part, as well. I'm not calling you out on 醜字, I'm calling you out on starting that bit with "得重複" and "你和你的醜字". You can change it to 簡體字 if you want. The things I pointed out are not "jokey", it's poorly written. You keep saying you're ruffling feathers. You're not. You've been whining for pages that people keep saying baseless poo poo and giving you oneliners. Whenever someone gives you real criticism, you start the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubU-dB8B-94 You complained twice that Barto said nothing - he could tear the poo poo out of that post btw, I was nice - so I did instead. Since you're completely infatuated with your own intermediate Mandarin, I was mostly curious if you would actually take it as constructive criticism. Yet, here you are now trying to convince the thread your post was a joke. You do not understand how to interact with people.

Edit: I do appreciate the attempt to treat those sentences like standard Mandarin, but I would think you would have gotten that it was a joke with the amount of nonsense I piled in there. Can you ballpark it for me, then? How much needs to be clearly a bit off before you go, "oh, I guess the goal of this post wasn't to write normal Mandarin sentences"?

Ridiculous slang and words from other languages can fit in sentences or phrases just fine, and incomplete thoughts can be correct. No one on line uses complete sentences, but they also wouldn't say anything like you did. This is because none of your poo poo is correct, and you don't sound funny, you sound like an idiot. Also I'd prefer you use 謝天謝地 over poo poo like "ruffling feathers"

It's for my own amusement and posterity, I guess. I think he's up to like 5 posts since he said "Pandemonium saying Atlas Hugged is in Bangkok after Atlas Hugged says that in the thread is the exact same thing as Barto implictly admitting to doxxing Pandemonium and gossiping with people he knows (which Barto is doing for effect, but whatever)", I told him to explain how those two things are even remotely related, and then he started making GBS threads posts out his rear end with unfunny one-liners over and over. Don't feel left out, though. I'm also tallying how many times you make stupid loving assumptions. You're up to four, I think. MGTOW, no certification, red pill, and spermjacking. I'm sure I'm missing more.
