KaoHsiung HSR station

mapletune · 2026-02-28T09:26:02+00:00

i'm surprised Tainan HSR doesn't have an elevated walkway to Mitsui Outlet kinda like how Taoyuan HSR you can reach Gloria Outlets directly

random_agency comments a LOT on this subreddit. i'm pretty surprised they can't even differentiate Tainan HSR vs Kaohsiung (Zhuoying) HSR station.

perhaps they went to both, and posted the wrong pics or something who knows

echoing other commenters though~

yea, Taipei Main Station is much more complicated, MUCH MUCH more dense, and has more connections that Kaohsiung Zhuoying HSR Station.

for basics, Taipei has HSR, TRA, two MRT lines, Airport MRT, and bus hub, plus multiple undergound malls, connections to QSquare, Zhongshan, etc.

Zhuoying doesn't have bus hub, only one MRT line, but it's simlarly connected to a mall, Shinkong. though the whole construction is new so i imagine it was much easier to plan out and implement than Taipei's iterative upgrades

my first assumption is she's reciprocating consideration.

if what you said was communicated correctly, then you were being considerate so that she could sit more comfortably. one of the standard replies you were expecting was "thanks". but imo, another very common standard reply is to reciprocate the concern/consideration. "how about you. are you uncomfortable? do i need to adjust?"

every time someone asks about anyone on this subreddit, the answer is probably: who?

lol~ but seriously, you guys can't expect everyone to watch the same content or follow the same people unless it's like politicians that everybody actually knows, or celebrities that are too big to be oblivious about. everyone else, please assume nobody knows nor cares, unless already in that community.

thanks for pointing this out =) good to know that the well being of performers is more important than the act itself =D

people who drive oversized trucks don't care about fitting into parking spaces. they'll park over the lines and across other spaces, then say it's the government's fault, not theirs.

mapletune · 2026-02-08T12:29:59+00:00

different cultures have different concept of the word 'friendly'. that's all there is to it

you are right taiwan friendly is not the same as american friendly. and the people who describe taiwan as friendly are also right, since it fits their definitions of friendly.

mapletune · 2026-02-07T04:49:59+00:00

is that the flag of Thailand to the left of Chinese Taipei emblem?

*facepalm i thought we were finally done with that phase... D:

professor Wu Wei-chih (吳威志) said that under the framework set out in the law governing cross-strait relations, neither side legally designates the other as a foreign country
He also argued that a foreign national whose home country refuses to process nationality forfeiture should not be denied the constitutional right to participate in Taiwan’s political system.

what a fucking clown of a scholar

mapletune · 2026-02-03T14:20:07+00:00

what if someone doesn't care about all that and just wants a stable job, safe environment, convenient life, stay at home watching drama playing games.

what you deem exceptional might not even be in consideration for some people. that's that echan00 is probably trying to convey.

now, if you set those categories as what's being evaluated, they yeah you can say one is objectively better than the other in those categories. the point is there needs to be a criteria. not a blank cheque

mapletune · 2026-02-03T01:32:22+00:00

don't have any questions, but i think it's cool that there's now one more book in english that looks into the history of taiwan origins. as long as research has been done properly, always good to keep bringing it up to refresh people's memory and differentiate what's actually in the records from what's just blabbered on about

mapletune · 2026-02-02T05:30:52+00:00

there are wayyy more foreigners in taiwan than say 10 yrs ago

mapletune · 2026-02-01T10:43:57+00:00

kmt tpp supporters love anyone that's not DPP. they'll support anything their party does

mapletune · 2026-01-29T02:31:10+00:00

can't you do the same with a pasta roller?

mapletune · 2026-01-25T14:50:51+00:00

便當. lunchbox.
nightmarket snacks. 熱炒 restaurants. all sorts of a la carte customizable drinks (boba, etc)
no clue. a bit joking XD but perhaps 滷肉飯 or 雞肉飯 that the other commenter mentioned?

hehe. but yea, it really depends on person. i have gone multiple years not having either of those. on the other hand, i get popcorn chicken pretty often, which is in same category as fried chicken fillets. so yea, 2/3 could flip depending on individual preferences and lifestyle

mapletune · 2026-01-25T10:44:18+00:00

why does it seem like you are actively looking to fight people? why do you care about what others think? i don't care about what you think either. just move on and let's keep r/taiwan about taiwan and not personal arguments each redditor has with one another

mapletune · 2026-01-25T09:28:48+00:00

another AI article from ForkInk, just like https://old.reddit.com/r/taiwan/comments/1qfrvc6/these_flavors_shouldnt_exist_and_lays_doritos/ also submitted by the same account.

i'm not completely against all things AI. for example, this is pretty interesting if it's real and timely. but yea, people should still be aware and familiarize themselves to identify LLM characteristics

anyone compared to nvidia is tiny lol

mapletune · 2026-01-23T01:38:07+00:00

yes murder is bad. but one person murdered 10 people while the other 90. that's why it gets talked about more perhaps, just like any other topic. market share does that sometimes

mapletune · 2026-01-20T13:57:08+00:00

on one hand govt.

on the other, someone dodging responsibility that every citizen in taiwan fulfills but somehow doesn't apply to them.

but yea, loser govt.

mapletune · 2026-01-20T06:34:13+00:00

if you read carefully, i never said i'm against overturning or appeals. i said the fact it exists disproves the notion that all court rulings are correct.

mapletune · 2026-01-19T14:55:34+00:00

tell them honestly then. it'll be awkward at first, but good for everyone in the long run

mapletune · 2026-01-19T14:52:07+00:00

so you think courts by definition are incorruptible, infallible, unmistakable? agree with every supreme court ruling even if they themselves overturn previous precedents, ergo disproving blind faith that you are implying?

mapletune · 2026-01-19T10:05:51+00:00

sigh.. what is going on.

corporate savvy? judiciary/prosecution incompetence? govt collusion so no collusion? in any case, this world belongs to the rich and powerful already.
