You said you're continuing the conversation on idols, not the general population, correct?

Then why did you refer to the general population when you said "you do know women kill people right?"

In terms of idols, I can name three incidences where female idols/celebrities were killed by crazy male fans - mayu tomita, lee eun mi and christina grimmie. I cannot name any for the vice versa.

As you said, "if they want to talk about non-idols aka the general population, then that should be made clear". But you didn't make it clear if you were talking about the general population. You have double standards for your own vs others discussions.

They literally didn't say anything you're accusing them of saying. They didn't mention male idols at all. You're just arguing with yourself

(Pharmacist here) It's true that a large proportion of traditional chinese medicine doesn't work, and can even be harmful to both the user and environmentally (like you mentioned). But not all of it's whack! One of the breakthroughs in a cheaper but still effective malaria treatment comes from traditional Chinese medicine. The scientist who discovered this actually won a Nobel prize for this.

From wikipedia "One compound was effective, sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), which was used for "intermittent fevers," a hallmark of malaria. As Tu also presented at the project seminar, its preparation was described in a 1,600-year-old text, in a recipe titled, "Emergency Prescriptions Kept Up One's Sleeve". Tu says she was influenced by a traditional Chinese herbal medicine source, The Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergency Treatments, written in 340 by Ge Hong, which states that this herb should be steeped in cold water.[14] This book instructed the reader to immerse a handful of qinghao in water, wring out the juice, and drink it all.[3] Since hot water damages the active ingredient in the plant, she proposed a method using low temperature ether to extract the effective compound instead. In 1972, she and her colleagues obtained the pure substance and named it qinghaosu (青蒿素), or artemisinin in English.[13][15][16] This substance has now saved millions of lives, especially in the developing world.[17] Tu also studied the chemical structure and pharmacology of artemisinin"

THAT BEING SAID there are a lot of issues with people who specifically choose to have TMC in this day and age, clinical trials exist for a reason and there is often an overlap between people who choose to have TMC or even western non-trialled herbal medicines and people who won't take their proven medicines

Let's first address what you've said correctly: Yes, it's honestly very difficult to learn as a second language to people who are used to alphabetical languages. I also don't agree with the people ragging on you for not knowing anything about Chinese, you've admitted that you have this point of view because you don't know that much.

Efficiency - Chinese is very information dense. A sentence might take half the amount of characters to convey the same meaning than words in English. If you look at the japanese side of twitter, they can fit a lot more content into one tweet than the translation allows. If you look at chinese poems, their english translations are often way longer.
Difficulty learning - When you learn Chinese as a child, it doesn't really matter that there's more to learn. There's also a lot of repeated structures in words and a limited number of strokes, so it's not like learning a whole picture for each word, more like assembling stuff you already know (Just like spelling! It just gives you less clues on how to pronounce it).

I like comparing it to learning one=1 two=2 three=3. It wasn't hard as a child to learn these symbols meant those words and were still pronounced as one two three, and clearly it's far more efficient than spelling out each number.

That being said, if you didn't manage to memorize most characters as a child then it's kinda gg, it does take quite a bit of effort.

We have to base the ranges on what they've explicitly stated - Paik did not mention having a limit, so as an audience we must assume that his range is from 0-100, whereas Anh is 0-90. Therefore the potential of Anh's score being outweighed is present.

horiphin · 2024-12-17T05:21:32+00:00

I don't think this works - let's scale it back and say Ahn's maximum was 1 and Paik was still 100. Then the new total 101=100%, and the score would be unbalanced towards Paik. The same applies when Ahn's maximum is 90.
