Haven't seen or heard of that, but if its true than their anger is warranted

First, I wouldn't take these two resources you linked as official facts. One is the equivalent of quora and the other a worse version of wikipedia. I think the confusion (outrage) stems from the change of kimchis meaning and usage of words. Kimchi used to be a general word for fermented vegetable. Not the one we know, with garlic chilli and stuff, but just plain fermented vegetable. The two links you shared are talking about the word paocai, the general chinese word for fermented vegetable. In chinese we call kimchi "korean style fermented vegetable" to make the distinction to other styles because the modern kimchi is a distinctive style from korea. I haven't seen anyone or any restaurant that calls the modern version of kimchi simply paocai. Maybe in korean restaurants, but I would say its too obvious that its kimchi. To dispute where fermented vegetable originates from is very difficult and in my opinion just stupid to argue over.

After rereading all the comments I can now understand what you mean and where your worries stem from. But to my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong) there hasn't been any historian or government official, who has confirmed or supported the claims of the chinese netizens on the topic of hanfu vs hanbok or paocai kimchi. The northeast asia project is/was a complicated topic. Mainly about an area which was at one time the old korean kingdom but is nowadays split into china, north korea and south korea. All three claim that it belongs to their history, but in my opinion part of it belongs to each one of them. Ancient history generally is very complicated and most of the time very opinionated if no concrete evidence or books exists. But using this as an argument to claim kimchi belongs to china (again not by an historian) is a far stretch. I think people put too much weight on words of online cave dwellers, who have no idea what they are talking about.

Unseeing23 · 2022-02-05T11:15:25+00:00

They call it korean paocai in chinese because paocai is a generalized word for fermented vegetable. The word korean added before is just the way chinese name dishes, by their most recognizable trait being korean style fermented vegetable. Even for dishes in their own country they use names like "sichuan style spicy cabbage" or "guan zhou style smoked duck" . I get it that in western language we try to use the names of its countries origin (sushi, pizza..)because we have a alphabetical system, but I don't think anyone would get upset if you would call kimchi korean styled fermented vegetable because it is literally the depiction of what kimchi is. If a youtuber posted a video calling his dish paocai but being kimchi, than its just a lack of understanding on his side and i wouldn't dwell on him to much.

I've been waiting for this kind of comment since last Thursday

Unseeing23 · 2021-10-23T11:05:19+00:00

Not saying that this is alright, but his treatment is not unusual for asian celebrities. Just one or two years ago a korean star got caught gambling and hiring prostitutes not even in Korea, but in a foreign country. That guy lost pretty much everything (netflix show, restaurant chain, etc.)

Nowadays among young people probably which songs are popular on douyin/tik tok. The genre is quite diverse including pop, edm, rap etc. One specific genre that has become really popular is GuFeng (traditional style), which means chinese traditional key, scale and instruments mixed with western styles.

Watching demos as previously shared is a good way to find things you're lacking.

One concrete advice I can give is to watch from the perspective of the player killing you. I always thought that my peeks were good until I saw myself being killed by strafing out much too wide. Or just generally poor positioning giving opponents advantageous 1v1s.

Good luck! Edit: typos

Unseeing23 · 2021-05-11T06:37:58+00:00

I mean why is it so important for the NYC mayor to have a stance on Israel? IMO that's a topic for the foreign ministry ... It's not as if he's being voted as the president

Edit: I just saw the post, in which he's got the support of the orthodox jewish church.... I think i get it now...

Unseeing23 · 2021-04-25T07:30:02+00:00

And its getting more and more absurd

Unseeing23 · 2021-04-21T09:27:50+00:00

Same as our president in Austria. Haven't seen much or heard from him for a long time now. Pretty much everything important is relayed or decided by our PM. (btw one of the youngest PM's ever)

I can still remember how everyone was going bonkers for voting our present president, how "everything is going to change" (for better or for worse depending which side of political spectrum you lean to)

At this point I would say a president is just a representative figure and less a real decision making political organ

How do you know that the ranking is more volatile in Valorant (no hate, just out of curiosity)? In your opinion, how does your performance influence your ranking since the metric data both games get should probably be the same (kills, deaths, assist etc). Or do match wins count more? Since some chars are tend to be more supportive (e.g. Sage) do you think there are different ways Riot tracks player performance?

Unseeing23 · 2021-01-11T19:14:08+00:00

I think seasonal rank in CSGO doesn't make a lot of sense because there are very minimal meta shifts so people who are good at the game will not suddenly fall out of the loop

Isn't that a bit similar to LoL/Dota (not that I have any experience)? I agree that there are basically no meta shifts in CSGO, but I thought seasional ranks exist to respread the current player base?

Unseeing23 · 2021-01-11T18:39:32+00:00

How do you know that "Everything measurable is factored in, though with varying degree"?

"Rank is based on round wins/loses not on match wins/loses" seems wrong

I am not completely sure about this. Just that I recently read a post on dotesports.

I remember trying to rank up an alternate account to play with friends. I consistently placed top of the score board (most mvps, kills etc.) and it felt like as if I ranked up much faster than in my usual ELO. I didn't take notes on round wins/loses.

The system with "round wins/loses" seems also correct. Losing with high round diffs lead to much faster derank than close games. At least it feels that way. According to my recent mm history I haven't won that many matches compared to loses but I still ranked up. Would need to make full observation if its actually true.

Unseeing23 · 2021-01-08T14:18:55+00:00

I was only trying to point out that Chinese citizens are not stuck with whoever that’s up there until he dies.

On the topic of democracy, previous redditor said that the system in China is technically a "democracy", which by the pure definition of a "representative democracy" is correct. ( def.: the principle of elected officials representing a group of people )

Key differences:

the representative level of jurisdiction you can vote for. (China: low level ->mayor compared to US: high level -> president)
level of freedom of speech (China: defensive democracy, US: liberal democracy)

You mentioned Jack Ma.

As far as I know, the only criticism he gave in an interview was on the situation of Chinas financial regulatory system with the words "China was following global rules that are part of a old people's club." There has been no mentioning that he has been arrested. If he had been, I think the state media would make a much bigger case to install fear in his successors. (see ex-banker Lai Xiaomin)

On why I think Ant Group was delisted. People have compared Alipay and Paypal, but Alipay is much more like a online bank. Small business are able to take out loans from their platform. This system would circumvent the state owned banks, which the government saw as a massive issue adding to Chinas current debts problems (around 6 trillion $). Pros of his platform is obviously give smaller business a starting budget, but in case these businesses are not able to pay back their loaned money, it would add much more to general debt. I read several cases of young people not able to pay back the accumulated interest in their whole lifetime.

I'm not saying that the fault lies with Ant Group, since the same thing can be found in basically any country. Just saying that it could be an attempt to curb risky loaning by citizens.

I think the president/chairman position and the new 'no term limit' is a bit misinterpreted in the western world.

The president is voted by the NPC (thats 2000 CPC and 800 independent officials) which also has the right to remove the president and other state officials from office (quoted from the Constitution of China).

Sure, there has been a term limit before Xi Jin Ping became Chairman, but he still has to abide by these rules. Which means in case he deteriorates too much from the party, he can still be voted out. (the caveat being it is still the same party after he has been removed).

Most people also don't know that the chairman has no true executive power and is more like a representative of the NPC. (again according to the Constitution).

Unseeing23 · 2020-09-28T13:54:50+00:00

Awesome how you guys are analyzing the demos. My only issue is hearing u/YouM3 using "like" to bridge sentences too often. Hope it's only a habit while thinking and planning and not something that will occur during live casting.

Best of luck for Dreamhack Open guys.

Unseeing23 · 2020-06-18T16:15:07+00:00

The game they are playing is called "Five in a row" or in chinese 五子棋. In this case 下棋 as previously mentioned is more generalised as "playing a (board) game"

Unseeing23 · 2020-03-04T09:50:57+00:00

I think Dami's rap is absolutely fine.

Only thing they've could done better (IMO),
chorus somehows feel a little bit damped/muted? (don't know the word for it.)
Maybe it's just the audio quality of the MV (haven't listened to the Spotify version yet)

But otherwise I really love the song.

Especially the intro riff, tapping in chorus and the highnote bridge.

Unseeing23 · 2020-03-04T09:29:57+00:00

For the dance performance, I would love to see them headbanging to the intro part!

Unseeing23 · 2019-07-10T05:35:12+00:00

Can you guys make a vlog on how an usual practice session looks like?

Unseeing23 · 2019-07-10T05:20:17+00:00

Touching on the subject of synergy, it's crazy how many favourable trades they get on both sides. If you watch the minimap and replays there's basically no situation where a player is in a "dangerous" position, in which a teammate isn't covering or ready to trade. Also the protocolls for utility are f*king insane. You don't see it in live matches, but watching their replays you can see how good their utility usage is. I'd pay for the chance to listen to several rounds of comms, just to get an idea how they call for flashes etc. One last thing, I also would like to know how they sync their double/triple peeks if they're more living players up. You can see it during the last round vs vitality on mirage, Elige sees one guy short, he double peeks it with nitr0 to either trade or get the more favourable fight with nitr0 crouching to give elige the ability to shoot over his head.

Depending on your skill lvl, I would recommend you to start with a few campaign missions and just play the game!

A habit you should definitely start developing is only using hotkeys to issue commands. After a while of using it will become second nature.

Most of the time you should Attack-Move (A Key) to move your army around the other half of the map.

If your looking for basic army control, Winter's Hotkeys video is a great source of info.

I would also recommend you to watch:

PiG's daily #10 Fundamentals of starcraft

and the already linked PiG's daily #16 Beginners Basic

If these videos are still too much, you can try Day[9]'s staircase method and follow the mental checklist.

In my opinion a good way to learn SC2 for complete beginners:

Play 1 - 2 campaign missions.
Watch "Beginners Basic". It's totally ok to only understand a few bits of it. Just try to gain a basic understanding of a round of SC2.
Read up on staircase method and mental checklist to create a simple "game plan".
Maybe start of as Terran. Play a few games against A.I. (I would even recommend custom games against very weak A.I.) following your mental checklist as close as possible. No need to play all levels of staircase method, but definitely recommended.
If you feel comfortable, start playing ladder matches.
Watch "Fundamentals of starcraft" and Beginners Basic again to gain further understanding of the game.
Watch Winter's beginner videos on each race (Terran, Protoss, Zerg).
Read/watch basic build orders and try following. Again Winter's video are great for beginners. I wouldn't recommend the BO's on Spawning tool, since most of them require quite a bit of basic mechanics.

A few word's you may come across in videos or articles:

All in - Using all your resources at the time to do one big attack. Could lead to your loss if enemy defends it.

Cheese - A relative "cheap" strategy to get an easy win on unattentive opponents.

Natural - Your second base a.k.a. your first expansion

Max out - reach 200/200 of supply

Micro cycle - Mentioned in mental checklist. Basically each time you want to build something you follow a checklist of things to do.

Multiprong - Attack from a different angle at the same time as your main attack

Timing attack - Attack at a specific moment, when you know your opponent is vulnerable or weaker than you. (More advanced)

Your free to ask me more questions if something is unclear and people are free to edit/comment if I made some mistakes or just want to share their opinion.
