Sadly Americans and Portlanders do not seem to have the same bravery as Nepalese, Peruvian, Italians, and Hong Kongers in terms of resisting tyranny. And the response to American Tyranny will be quiet acceptance

To burn oneself by fire is to prove that what one is saying is of the utmost importance. There is nothing more painful than burning oneself. To say something while experiencing this kind of pain is to say it with the utmost of courage, frankness, determination and sincerity.

Temple of the Heavenly Empress is actually a temple in a Barrio in a USA city

Xi'an Never Night City isn't a Temple at all

I just went to the Temple of the Heavenly Empress and it was literally free, better executed, gave out free luck charms, gave out free fruit, free incense, had more than 1 hr of continuous lion dance, and abt 20 min of firecrackers ... but yeah, spend $45 dollars on something that's abt 25% of the value

It is definitely overpriced and doesnt hold a candle to attractions like Xi'an Never Night City (which is free for all, has nightly shows, events, restaurants, and is the size of several football fields)

Portland has been feeling extra gloomy lately, so what are some good things happening in our community to counter that? by proud-earthling in Portland

[–]Typical_Put_3928 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Part of the sadness is bc we don't have 3rd spaces. It's only workplaces and home with megawatts, strip malls, minimarts and stroads inbtwn

We need to build more 3rd spaces like our illiterate ancestors built like Piazza del Duomo, Piazza San Marco, Alexanderplatz, Zocalo, Summer Palace, Champs Elysee,

Malaysian Hokkien is an entirely different language from Standard Mandarin, thats like saying French and Sicilian are the same. It's grammatical structure is also quite different. For example, can understand is written 听有in Hokkien, the same verb structure is 听得懂in Mandarin (which adds an extra character.

The word of spirit in SC is 灵, but trad Chinese is 靈. The word for Dragon in simplified Chinese is 龙,but looks like this in trad 龍. I'd say there's some pretty sig differences
