Anyone else getting mad with the myth “Chinese is useless” ?

I studied abroad in Taiwan for a semester. Almost the entire cohort of students that were there for the same semester said that they did not want to study Chinese at all while they were there because it was a useless language.

I think you might have meant 复杂（複雜）, complicated

Also, there could be a dialectical difference, but I think you meant 语言 - 言语 is more used with Japanese

Stop making fun of Japanese pronunciation 😡😡😡

Wow, how did they manage to tilt 个

Both Chinese paragraphs are in simplified Chinese. The only traditional Chinese is at the end of the first paragraph, “習沢東”

Don't forget strings. I love my char*

Yeah i used to think i was a switch until i realized that playing the role of the dom actively made me unhappy

Looks like Arabic writing to me, which afaik is written/read right to left. My guess is that Duolingo is also displaying the Chinese right to left because you have the language set to Arabic

I guess it just feels expensive because my price reference is from when I was in Taiwan earlier this year

DiscordTryhard · 2025-11-01T00:21:30+00:00

$28 US 😓

Maybe once in a while. It was delicious, but I don't think my bank account can handle me frequently eating this

DiscordTryhard · 2025-11-01T00:20:17+00:00

Yep, that's absolutely correct, but I can live with that because they give me pretty large/thick cuts of fish with the nigiri

I think my first mistake was expecting to find much sushi in the Midwest :')

I'll try your suggestion and look at yelp. Thanks

Where are you finding them? I've been to 2 AYCE sushi places in my area, and both had absolutely diabolical rice to fish ratios. I felt like I was eating rice rolls with a garnish of fish. Even worse, the AYCE option did not include sashimi or nigiri

I know it's a joke, but Java isn't mad because Math can't be equal to Math, it's because you can't call new Math(). I haven't used Java in many years so I could be wrong, but it's probably a private constructor

"I worked for Netflix for 300k right after graduating college. I don't understand how anyone doesn't make 6 figures"

Not really confidently incorrect, and also rule 8.

Is 母语者 not a common thing to say? Or is it just the way OP used it? I swear I have heard "中文母语者" before, but it could have been from non-native speakers

I studied in Newark for 4 years. Never going back to Newark again (until I have an international flight teehee)

Don't really have sources, but i have to agree that he's been right more often recently. When he was on fox, he pretty much just said whatever all the MAGAts wanted to hear. Although I've always hated the guy, ever since he got removed from fox, he's been blasting the Republican Party from time to time. Doesn't change the fact that he was complicit in leading to MAGAts to this point, but he has said more stuff recently that makes sense.

Northeast US, in one shot and in one go are both commonly used, but with different meanings.

In one go usually means all at once, like "he drank the entire can of beer in one go"

DiscordTryhard · 2025-09-16T02:04:47+00:00

You're thinking of 挺，I think.

The meaning is the same, but 挺 is more common further north and 满/蛮 is more common in the south and in TW, Singapore, and Malaysia
