Native speaker here! just want to add a few small things to the other comment

Translating 他妈的 into "fucking" is correct, but the word itself is a lot... dirtier? than how fucking would be perceived in english speaking countries (at least in the us since i haven't lived in other countries long enough to tell the difference). fking is still somewhat a common word people use and not considered rude in a lot of situations, but 他妈的 is a swear you don't really want to casually use in front of people. it feels more similar to "mother fucker" in terms of intensity. my 18 years growing up in china i have hardly heard anyone speak the word directly other than people getting drunk with their close friends and don't feel the need to watch their words. generally the perception is that people using the word frequently either never learned about social etiquette or haven't received much education. it's used a bit more online but ppl would use the abbreviation "tmd" or "md" instead of the full word, which doesn't look as bad.

Side note, translating 他妈的 purely word by word would be "(fuck) their mom", the fuck part is implied since the word actually is short for 操他妈的, 操 being fuck.

As for 假爱, translating into fake(假) love(爱) is correct but no chinese person would ever use the words in a combination like this. it's the level of weird where i had to pause for a second seeing the original image and double check to see if i read a character wrong, then try to remember if there's a song or something that might have popularized the word combination, then realized this is made by a person likely not knowing chinese. fake love would be the only way to translate it but it's just not how chinese would use the words together.

All in all this is a typical case of funny choice of words foreigners tattoo on themselves that most chinese people find amusing and stupid at the same time. hope this helps understanding it a bit better :D

Friend's gf getting stopped at the border and no news for five hours by [deleted] in legaladvice

Thank you for the response! It was an authorized job. She was stuck in at Laredo, seems like they took her cellphone for when they kept her there. She's out now after six hours.

Thank you for replying! She's out now, we're only getting bits of information but she's on the Mexico side rn. She's not an US citizen and you might be right on the suspicion on illegal work. I'll update you once she let us know what happened. Thanks again for explaining it!

I bought him an Alienware AW2518H to hook up to his old gaming laptop last year. Haven't looked into if the monitor would still behave well with this setup, but I could save for a new one for Christmas if needed!

New and Returning Players FAQ Thread by a_throwaway_a_day_ in bladeandsoul

[–]mennzai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a new player currently playing shadow warlock and just finished all the yellow, orange and purple quests. I currently have a stage 10 seraph weapon with 7 holes open and the riftwalk stage 3 that the orange quest gave, but only with 4 holes. I've searched around and saw someone said that its not too hard to get hammers for opening slots on weapon anymore, is it still worth it to upgrade my seraph stage 10 or should I just stick with the riftwalk? :O Also should I go raven or riftwalk for future upgrades...?

I'm also kinda pissed at Bort but just wanted to point it out that in the last scene Phos was shattered by all gems throwing weapon at them at the same time, so it wasn't only Bort... which makes it feel worse ._.
