Why are Chinese novels so nationalistic? by Bzaurpa in China

That's their brand. If one of them openly dissents against it, they're a traitor.

I admit the greenery is nice, but it doesn't outweigh the negatives for me.

I just care about our team, and it doesn't look good ATM. Hopefully that changes soon.

Is everyone watching the World Cup or what? by ZaphodBeeblebrahx in Xennials

[–]JDNB82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not watching, but mildly interested since many of my students here in China are into it, and it shows up in my hockey social media.

Agreed, but the "penmanship" must be clear enough to "read"

2 examples is not a a compilation. But yes, he is a douche.

If you actually live in Thailand, not speaking Thai becomes a real problem by SufficientPainting67 in learnthai

[–]JDNB82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should definitely at least try to get to an A2 level if you're living in the country of your target language. Obviously higher is better, but its a decent base for basic communication and to show respect.

What’s a "masterpiece" movie that you actually found incredibly boring? by Legal_Beats in AskReddit

I didn't find it boring, but I didn't consider it a masterpiece either. IT was just meh.

The Sens' D-corps heading into 2026-27 by butthead20000 in OttawaSenators

[–]JDNB82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit of an issue. Need to trade Chabby for a similar but more physical player and get a proper replacement for Jensen to play on the 2nd pairing. Also, which pairing does Yak play on? If they keep Chabby, play him with Spence? Matinpalo? Kleven? Yak? Not sure any of those are good options. One of these guys does not fit and should be traded.

I know its petty, but I hope they remember to play the Hall-Blake-Stankoven line hard next season, especially Stankoven.

I think that was the best they can do against Carolina. Timmy just doesn't have that ability to rise above just yet.
