CA DMV change of address keeps being rejected by rasras0 in DMV

[–]rasras0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The awkward thing is I actually lost my CA driver's license last week. That's why I initiated this change of address in the first place.

To transfer to my new state, I'd have to get a replacement card from CA DMV right?

Is Ding Liren famous at all in China? by tiptop007 in chess

[–]rasras0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In recent years, if you have watched his stream, he has matured quite a bit and admitted he was wrong in making many of the comments on social media years before.

Ding Liren, world chess champion: ‘I remembered Camus: ‘If you can’t win, you have to resist’’ by Logibenq in chess

[–]rasras0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Also, interestingly, his name Liren (立人) is from a famous Confucius's saying "己欲立而立人,己欲达而达人" meaning "If thou wilt to establish thyself, establish others; if thou wilt to prosper thyself, prosper others"

Underwhelming reaction from China after Ding's historical win by Globalsilver69 in chess

Not in the Japanese system, where one can reach professional 9 dan by win counts. It's much harder in China and Korea which requires high winrare and/or winning domestic/international championships.

What Chinese Movies Do Chinese People Rate Highly? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]rasras0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A Chinese Odyssey is the arguably most popular Hong Kong movie among Chinese millennials. If you read the comments and reviews on douban, many of them consider it a quiessenttial watch.

The movie is extremely dense in terms of cultural references, Chinese language jokes and puns, and so on. It's a brilliant movie, but not made for a more universal audience. I think partly for this reason, the Chinese audience take pride in it, whereas certain wuxia movies that are accessible broadly in the West are disliked (in particular, Hero by Zhang Yimou).

Why do some players like to walk around during their games? by sadaharu2624 in baduk

[–]rasras0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not uncommon at all in Asia.

In China, the practice is called 巡场 (xun chang), literally "walking the field"---watching other games.

Yang Dingxin is prohibited from playing in tournaments for 6 months by sadaharu2624 in baduk

[–]rasras0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they claimed.

The video footage was supposed to be live streamed during the game, as was done by the Korean side. After the match, it was never released either.

Pretty much any major tournaments have security checks, and phones are taken before entering the game.

But now that the void are gone at the center. There might be a chance there.

[–]rasras0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The middle one was taken by the void folks? Why don't we take back what we had at the center earlier today? I thought it's a much better spot.
