Haier I am worried about your health though, because TGM, Traditional Goon Medicine, suggests that your dick may fall off from overuse. I prescribe to you 2 printer-carries a day, up at least 2 storeys. This will help you de-exert your penis and restore lethargy to your genital, which is overactive.

Duterte sure does dress a lot better than Xi. Xi seems to do Trump's thing of big, baggy clothes in unflattering cuts.

diamond dog posted:do you know how the term banana republic originated? you might want to read up, it could give you insight as to why duterte would want to distance himself from the US Duterte is a fool if he thinks the Chinese yoke will not be worse than the American one. The guy's been bought and paid for by the Chinese, just like others were bought and paid for by the Americans. Noble ideals about independence and history rarely factor in to the nitty gritty of politicians' plans.

I speak English and French natively, and Spanish with a decent degree of fluency. I've learned Latin, Ancient Greek and German in university and college. I've taken classes on Sanskrit, Proto-Indo-European and comparative romance linguistics. When I say "gently caress Chinese for being purposely obtuse and hard to learn", I say so because I am comparing it to literal dead languages that are easier to learn than a living, breathing clusterfuck spoken by 1.6 billion people. Am I a racist?

The problem is still that the writing system was by design made to be inaccessible to as much of the population as possible. It reminds me of the way scribes in the ancient near east guarded their writing systems with great jealousy until alphabets/syllabaries became more common. Except the Chinese writing system, even as simplified, has no logical construction. There's no seeming relation between anything, and you can't predict what a thing is based on what other things are!

Dzhay posted:I, too, read and write English. I'm talking about the writing system. Let me explain it. "A" is a sound, right? And "B" is a sound, right? AB can be inferred as the sound of A+B The same as BA can be understood as the sound of B+A. Now let's try and say BA in chinese. (results based on windows simplified chinese pinyin input) 把，巴，八，拔，爸, AND THE LIST GOES loving ON. Compare that even to Korean, which has an almost mathematical system for compounding/sandhi, or Sanskrit/Devanagari which has clear rules breaking down vowels and consonants. My point is: gently caress.

Dzhay posted:What do you mean "even" Korean? Isn't Korean (almost) perfectly phonetic? I'm not even talking about English. That's an assumption y'all are making. My point is that these simple rules apply for any languages that use non-insane scripts. If I see a word I do not recognise, I can still look it up. I can read it, and even make an effort to pronounce it. If I come across  , how the hell am I supposed to parse that?

This is a writing system designed to be hard for hardness' sake. This is the writing system equivalent of the guy who calls people casuals because they don't suffer enough to play games.

School Nickname posted:Forgive my shameless puns but I'm guessing Haier is a master of Relational Algebra and Relational Calculus. Knows exactly how to achieve the desired results. China has a kind of "general ID" that doesn't serve a specific purpose like a driver's licence or health card would. It's kind of used like a passport within the country. Can't buy tickets without one. It's population control.
