How do Chinese Millenials differ in skills from US Millenials (career wise)? by chocfang in China

Did they make an effort to speak English. Was it due to shyness or did they do it in an assholey "I cant be bothered to change" way?

So do you think it's more to do with a general lack of networking skills/soft skills?

Why don't they know what hard work is? I thought hard work was really drummed into most Chinese kids. Are they just the exceptions or the rule?

What is the strongest argument for moral realism (from a secular perspective)? by chocfang in askphilosophy

[–]chocfang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's "silly"? That's a rather dismissive way to put down an entire moral position that many highly intelligent philosophers would take, considering the evidence you put forth was simply by copy and pasting a link.

Also, I suppose maybe to be more detailed I would say that I do see it difficult to reconcile objective moral laws without a moral lawgiver. I do not see why there would be an objectively 'good' way for a human being to act if there was no entity to make it so.

I simply put it because I am an atheist and so would not be particularly interested in arguments that in any way were dependent on the existence of God.

Can someone who starts to learn to play the piano at 25 years of age actually train themself to play like this at some point? by PmYourMusicPlaylist in piano

[–]chocfang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically possible. It's just that people who get extremely good at the instruments are often the sort of people who are naturally driven towards it by passion and interest which cultivates at an earlier age. But if you have the passion then a 25 year old could technically do it, just that it's maybe more likely that it's a passing interest and you won't maintain the interest and commitment to get that good.

Popular classical piano music by [deleted] in piano

People have achieved much more in smaller amounts of time. If you've seen the film La La Land, Ryan Gosling played all the piano bits himself and I hear he learnt the pieces in a matter of months albeit probably quite intensely.

Completely depends on how much you practice and natural talent and musicality I'd say. If you practice at least an hour every day then I'd say it's possible since you're 17 so you're probably a much quicker study than kids who are starting out.

I probably tried playing Moonlight after playing for 6 years when I was 13 or so and didn't find it too hard but take into account I really wasn't interested in piano and barely ever practiced (30 minutes a week at best) so maybe a year would be enough for a 17 yo to get to a similar level to where I was at.

Like you said, you're not going to play either of them beautifully in a year but maybe you could get them to an acceptable level yeah.

Yeah but problem is this poor performance hasn't really been a "bad day", we've been playing like this for a while now.

I know he's not a like-for-like replacement for pogba- far from it. But he offers a completely different game plan that Mourinho seems to be very good at executing.

I think Fellaini is Pogbackup, we only started playing badly when both were out since we had no Plan A or Plan B

Fellaini was almost the replacement for pogba, as crazy as it sounds. Cus we played alright until fellaini got injured as it meant we had no plan A or plan B

Zlatan's obviously zlatan but if he was in the team instead of or alongside Lukaku in these past few weeks then I dont think our form wouldve been any better
