I wish Draco hadn't been named Draco, so nobody would ever associate the word 'draconian' with a horribly authoritarian ancient Greek legal system, and it could just be a term that we use to describe dragon-like qualities or whatever

FrancisFukyomama posted:I wonder if Chinese articles ever pull that bullshit, like going on a two paragraph tangent about what knights and the crusades are bc some dipshit senator talked about his “crusade against drugs” and then speculating that Sen. Alabaster Leeroy Johnson (AL-R) considers himself a chivalrous knight fighting against the saracen hashish and that by understanding the medieval codes of chivalry and knightly honor we can gain profound insight into the workings of American politics and thinking patterns I mean, there are very literally fundies that see themselves as being on a crusade for Christianity so, there are circumstances where that framework to analyze motivations of some would not be out of place.

I am sure most of the thread goons know about it already, but for the few who don't know, the Chinese phrase "making in" as in "passing the imperial examination system and make my father look like a million bucks in front of our kinsmen" is literally "becoming dragon" in Chinese. Incidentally, its also Jackie Chan's actor name in Chinese. Yes he has a pretty smug actor name.

Stephen Chow is a big fan though. oh I got it backwards anyway quote:Willie Chan offered him an acting role in a film directed by Lo Wei. Lo saw Chan's performance in the John Woo film Hand of Death (1976) and planned to model him after Bruce Lee with the film New Fist of Fury.[34] His stage name was changed to Sing Lung (Chinese: 成龍, also transcribed as Cheng Long,[35] literally "become the dragon") to emphasise his similarity to Bruce Lee, whose stage name meant "Little Dragon" in Chinese.

is there a good write up on how the Vietnamese economic reforms compare with the Chinese ones? I get the impression that while they take some inspiration from the dengist reforms they also are apparently pushing cooperatives and industrial democracy hard, with a sort of titoist type set up where worker’s coops compete in a market framework
