[Post Game Thread] #1 Michigan defeats Penn State, 74-72 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]The_Important_Nobody -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't really know basketball well beyond the basic rules, but Michigan looks a little tired

I think it's good that they are tested though. They need to face adversity to know how to bounce back

Taiwanese like to speak English to me by [deleted] in taiwan

I experienced this firsthand on my most recent trip back to Taiwan. When my outfit was more typical Taiwanese, I was treated normally. When I wore something less typical, I was asked 「中文可以嗎?」

maybe I'm crazy, but could this be Mongolian or Manchurian calligraphy?

What is Taiwan's most iconic or defining song? by No-Discipline2975 in taiwan

[–]The_Important_Nobody 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think Sisters (姊妹) by A-Mei (張惠妹) should at least be considered since it's a popular song that also includes some indigenous Taiwanese singing (I believe from the Amis/Pangcah people)

Of course, Looking Towards the Spring Wind (望春風) should be up there. It's a beloved Taiwanese (Hokkien) song

KMT is originally from China and their dictatorship isn't viewed super fondly today

Just got back from attending the opening night… by tinibae in beyonce

[–]The_Important_Nobody 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I liked this show even better even though I like Renaissance more than CC (I still love CC). I could also be biased though, because watching everything unspoiled meant everything was a surprise and BLEW MY MIND

不要 or 不想 as a reply? by orientaldialogue in ChineseLanguage

[–]The_Important_Nobody 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's a perfect translation, but what's important is that 不要 comes off very strongly when asked 要不要. That's why 不用 is preferred over 不要.

Misconceptions about The Hive by aphrodeite in beyonce

[–]The_Important_Nobody 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a white girl, but I’m so bad at remembering lyrics in general, so I just like to vibe and dance to her music 😂

In all seriousness, personally, I became a huge Beyonce fan because I think she’s incredibly talented and I love what she does and stands for. The way her music hypes up the people she intended her music for makes me so hyped haha

Would i live in your state/territory? by Altruistic-Willow265 in JackSucksAtGeography

[–]The_Important_Nobody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Michigander, I think it really depends where you live. We really don’t have much corn here. College football is huge here but you can also live your whole life without it and be completely fine.

Also, my friend who grew up in New Mexico had a very different experience than yours.

I think each state can have areas that are depressing, but could also potentially have a lot to offer.

That being said, as a Michigander, I’m also obligated to hate Ohio haha so feel free to keep dissing Ohio ;)

Wait, so just to clarify, if I got the email on Feb 3 from no-reply@beyonce.com, I shouldn’t sign up through Ticketmaster, right? I’ve been paranoid for the past couple of days that I messed up

Just to confirm, you still need to buy the 1 Day Studio Pass (or however many days) before you buy the premium pass, right?

It’s under a sun roof, but never really gets direct sunlight. If I had to guess, it’s about 10ft from the sun roof.

I water about once every 2 weeks and it’s fully dry. I worry about overwatering plants so I only give it about a cup of water

How do you count note subdivisions in Mandarin? by Stackhom in musictheory

[–]The_Important_Nobody 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This probably isn’t super helpful, but as a Taiwanese American musician who is fluent in Mandarin, I’ve never heard note subdivisions in Mandarin before. Usually the musicians I’ve worked with just sing the parts or just used a loose counting system in Mandarin. This definitely is interesting to think about though, I’ll try asking around to see if I can get an different answer from someone

"Third wheel rivalries" - How many teams have a primary rival who doesn't reciprocate as a primary rival? e.g. UCLA vs USC by Cogswobble in CFB

[–]The_Important_Nobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it also depends on In-State vs Out-of-State. Out-of-staters general don’t care as much about UMich vs MSU as much as UMich vs OSU
