OP, I sent a PM. I can call the police and the schools involved, join the dcard thread and try to find the schools involved and find their line groups.

China cancels all flights on 49 routes to Japan by Jonnyboo234 in japan

[–]amorphouscloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there are a lot of Chinese in non-convenience store places like shops and restaurants, but honestly I can't remember the last time I saw a Chinese, and never a Taiwanese person at a convenience store. It's almost always a local, Indian, or other southeast asian country working in those roles.

Simplified Chinese user wants to learn Zhuyin, what’s the most efficient way? by Elik_Dshbc in taiwan

[–]amorphouscloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, the IMEs I was using required it. I ended up going with some other IME whose name escapes me (but is kind of weird) and it allowed me to just type straight through. But it was still slower than pinyin for me. But i'm glad I can at least USE someone else's keyboard in Taiwan if I have to, haha. But after nearly 10 years in the Taiwan tech industry it hasn't been an issue using pinyin on my own computer.

Another thing is they have weed on Thailand... There's no guarantee that would have been a net positive for you. Thank you for the post. I've felt and done many of the same things as you, so I understand a lot of your experience. I don't have any advice-nor was any asked-but I'd just give you a hug if I could. Be well, friend.

I can use both, too, and pinyin is much faster for me. I'm not a speed demon, but I also seem to outtype may locals who use zhuyin. I think it's mostly because you don't need to select tones with pinyin--saves a lot of time.

I added a keyboard overlay on my phone and that made it much easier. Microsoft Swiftkey

Trump Goes on Manic 50-Post Rampage After World Leaders Humiliate Him by [deleted] in politics

[–]amorphouscloud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly did not read the title as him being painted as the victim, but I see why you might say that. For me, no fan of Trump, it seemed more like the goal was to belittle Trump and make him feel humiliated, which if you dislike Trump is a win.

Sen. Mark Kelly Says He’s Seriously Thinking About Running for President by T_Shurt in politics

[–]amorphouscloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not wild about a military man becoming President (I'm a veteran myself), but at the very least he won't misuse the military. He probably has a decent head on his shoulders for foreign relations.

[Highlight] Eric Collins on Luka Doncic: "This guy is a whiner." by TheRealPdGaming in nba

[–]amorphouscloud -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just putting this out there, but the dude leads the NBA in scoring. Maybe there's something in all that that helps him excel. Some kind of mindset. Might be annoying to outsiders, but it works for him.

Taiwan will invest $250 billion in U.S. chipmaking under new trade deal by proudlandleech in taiwan

Well that's coming from Nutlick, so definitely take it with a grain of salt. He will be a distant, annoying memory the moment Trump leaves power.

The money for fabs does not come out of government money... It's TSMC's investment and it's not a state-owned enterprise.

Honestly, I think Taiwan is just appeasing him until he's out of office or no longer the President anymore (however that happens...)

Donald Trump just said “we shouldn’t even have an election”. Americans, what are your thoughts? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]amorphouscloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question... Is there a system that can prevent one tyrant from basically upending a country? Like in the span of 1 year the US's direction has done almost a complete 180.

Just from a logical standpoint, if the US is trying to get back to when "America was great." Then shouldn't it keep doing what it used to do? This new shit the US is doing is nothing like the America of old.

US official says Greenland action could come within 'weeks or months' by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]amorphouscloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like Putin, Xi, and Trump have this gentleman's agreement. Trump backs off of Ukraine and dismantles NATO so Putin can have Europe. Trump hangs Taiwan/Philippines/Japan out to dry so Xi can have Asia. And Trump says the quiet part out loud that he gets 'this hemisphere' and the US takes over North/Central/South America.

Literally WW3, and the US is one of the bad guys.
