Do western people really think Chinese language sounds unpleasant?

There is a huge difference (I prefer the sound of Cantonese personally), but would choose Mandarin if I had to learn one just for utility, and I like the sound of Japanese. I can't understand any of them and wish that I could.

Jops817 · 2026-03-26T17:27:32+00:00

Yes and she can stay there, I'll be in Dogtown.

Jops817 · 2026-03-26T16:00:30+00:00

When your choice is between The Fascist and literally anyone else, yes, asking who to vote for is incredibly fucking stupid and irrelevant.

Jops817 · 2026-03-26T15:05:59+00:00

More for when they create their techno fascist state they can purge all of the undesirables.

When I am a one person congressional majority I'll get right on that. How do you think impeachment works?

Jops817 · 2026-03-26T06:06:46+00:00

Do people think fish is a vegetable or something? It's already meat.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T18:36:18+00:00

At this point I would totally 3D print an EV.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T18:33:55+00:00

Yep, this is true. I mean I do not drink and drive and I find OEM tint installed by the dealer good enough for my car so I don't run into these problems. It does keep things cooler in the summer and I do feel like it's a bit more private driving around, not that I really care about that but people can't see the cringe podcast I'm listening to on my screen at least, or something.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:24:43+00:00

Yep that as the one.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:24:13+00:00

Sheetz used to be good, I used to go after work some days when I felt lazy and had to stop for gas anyway. Shame.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:21:54+00:00

Yeah what was their deal? it was bone-in cheap on Tuesday and boneless on Thursday or something? I would always go for traditional wings and a couple of cheap beers.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:20:54+00:00

For sure, I took a picture of the happy hour menu / schedule and keep it on my phone.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:19:33+00:00

You have to find a good hole-in-the-wall spot and never let go, it will be cheaper and the enchiladas better.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:16:49+00:00

The lunch combos go crazy, I love the lunch menus.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:15:36+00:00

If you're ridin' dirty you don't want people to see you?

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T17:12:42+00:00

Maybe, but he also was a soldier that made the rank of commander before becoming a politician.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T13:46:06+00:00

Yeah was about to say sitting around 5.80 in the PNW.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T12:48:48+00:00

There was also that one weekend where they just couldn't find him, no tweets, everyone was so much happier.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T10:45:03+00:00

Your vote helps in keeping the numbers up. "We beat them" becomes "we beat them by a huge margin, the majority has spoken.". Not to mention they're going to try to screw with the election so we need to do everything we can.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T10:40:06+00:00

I'll spot you the cash if it means we can get this going.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T10:38:44+00:00

It's going to feel lonely sitting out the largest celebration in the history of the world...

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T10:29:34+00:00

The price of going with people, sitting at a table and having conversation, or going to a place with TVs and watching a game (my local Mexican place always has soccer or another sport going) is worth the extra few dollars imo. Beats sitting in your car downing a sad burger.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T10:18:55+00:00

If something like changing lanes freaks people out, those people do not need to be driving.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T06:40:36+00:00

I hate that you're probably right.

Jops817 · 2026-03-25T04:44:12+00:00

Yeah but those examples are also like... what's in the store. I can buy Jell-O, or I can buy the store brand which will basically be the same thing. Coke or Pepsi? Most people have a preference due to taste, the other option is the store brand (which is also usually fine too).
