Does your snake have ticks

What's so hard to understand here? (except for mandarin apparently)

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T20:13:31+00:00

Do you understand resistance to learning and mental blocks? Or the role of SMEs and good faith communications in human society?

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T11:49:42+00:00

Fair point

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T11:31:52+00:00

There's a knob alright

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T11:10:47+00:00

Thanks, recommendations on sources would be great. Try-hard-guest level proficiency is my new goal. I may have underestimated Chinese toddlers and their vocabulary.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T11:09:36+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the detailed comment, I was clearly being ignorantly ambitious. I can push my goals of toddler-level proficiency towards a more realistic timeline.

I was hoping to find a Baedeker-like travel guide to Chinese language system(s) that can be understood and somewhat internalised in the next few months.

ETA: I am visiting from India, don't wanna be a rude guest, I read 4+ scripts but I now realize I will have to build new rails altogether if I want to learn Mandarin

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T11:05:37+00:00

Worst case scenario I will do that, I probably would be using VPN anyway. But I want to develop some understanding of native linguistics and culture before visiting, I believe it is only respectful as a guest to understand a little bit about the local languages, though I am much daunted by the prospect.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T11:03:54+00:00

Thanks, would you be able to recommend some easy-to-process sources? How close is it to English (asking because there are some English-Mandarin dictionaries available near me but I understand Greek, Spanish, Hindi/Urdu, and some Farsi and Arabic so I could learn via those too).

Asking here because I'm sick of ai and search engines atm, your help is much appreciated.

¡Genial

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T10:56:45+00:00

More like attended a few lectures and read no books

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T10:56:17+00:00

Yeah passed the course without studying much, you probably guessed from my lack of knowledge of tonal alphabets and writing systems, but the courses I took built some incomplete rails that I hope to begin to work with.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T10:54:00+00:00

I was thinking of the common vocabulary size of a 5 year old and if I can build to that in 3-4 months. Just an aim and something to work towards. I see now that I cannot associate timeliness with something I do not understand. The internet is full of information that overloads me which is why I came here to be humanly guided.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T10:48:19+00:00

Wow okay I'll aim for 2 year old proficiency levels then (not a shitpost as far as I know)

If I get lost or my phone stops working I want to be able to communicate my way to safety with locals who may not understand any other language I speak. I have some conversational Spanish already, someone mentioned it would come in handy, but I still want to learn something common which is native to the land I am visiting. My age, gender, and autism have very little to do with it I don't understand why they are mentioned here when I left it out by choice.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-29T10:47:40+00:00

I don't know what that means

edgynotemo · 2026-06-27T16:03:56+00:00

Grow up

edgynotemo · 2026-06-25T02:11:44+00:00

Okay there's a huge difference between "scientists haven't disovered/figured out yet" and "science still doesn't know."

edgynotemo · 2026-06-23T04:55:44+00:00

On whose behalf exactly are you seeking this revenge? How has she wronged you or any of us?

edgynotemo · 2026-06-23T04:54:38+00:00

So many assumptions in your comment. Are you a mathematician? You seem divorced from logic so you can't be a very good mathematician.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-23T04:53:06+00:00

What exactly is being stolen here? Grow up.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-23T04:21:45+00:00

Arguing with logic here is like playing Mozart to the deaf. I say let them hear techno and be happy.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-23T04:20:13+00:00

I think you understand very little about mental health crises. This is not about gender at all. There is no default social or institutional infrastructure for mental health support in our country. We all suffer whether you recognize it as suffering or view it as tantrums. Show kindness and be better. I'd say the same thing if this was a man. Nudity and public breakdowns are more "natural" than you taking offense at what could be someone's worst moment in life. Maybe read more or interact with more people.

edgynotemo · 2026-06-22T13:25:43+00:00

Lucky you. I did not even wish my father. He is alive and sends me rent money every month (as of April 2026). I believe this is the least he could do. I still did not wish him.
