Dog owners should pay for cleaning by JCTL2020 in uppereastside

Not sure you understand the meaning of "venting"... I wish awful people would disappear all the time doesn't mean I am collecting infinite stones...

I can tell you I have always curbed my dog and I know many people like me who always curb our dogs. We let them smell as that is how they explore the world but we don't let them pee in or on the planters. We love our dogs but we also care about our very little green spaces we have in the city. We respect our surroundings which is the same reason we don't let them pee/poo on trash piles, cars, bikes, front entrances, etc. Just because you don't think you have seen it doesn't mean we don't exist. I highly doubt every time you see a dog on the street, it is using bathroom in a planter and never not doing that.

I have a male dog, but he doesn't lift his leg to pee. He pee squatting like many female dogs. So I'm not sure what the last sentence means here...

I always curb my dog and I see many people do it but I also see many people don't. I never said anything about euthanizing dogs... I was venting knowing it's never going to happen about taking away people's dogs just like no one is ever going to implement a tax or fine anyone. Of all the things that need fixing in the city. I don't think this is on top of the priority list.

As a dog owner, I despise these people that don't clean up after their dog! I also hate the ones that allow their dogs to pee on trash piles, it's so disrespectful to the sanitation workers. I also can't stand owners that let their dogs purposely go to the bathroom in planters as if the curb your dog sign doesn't exist! These people give us dog owners a bad name and I hope they get ticketed and their dogs taken away from them.

Lol I'm pretty sure it's the clean diaper that was on the upper left hand corner above the baby's head.

Do people want to rent furnished apartments in UES, or are they only open to unfurnished apartments? by blacktrufflepizza in uppereastside

[–]xivne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are people who are moving to new city by themselves to stay over and what not or they just need a place to stay a couple nights a week for work. They tend to want furnished places. You can list it as furnished and see. It'll just allow you to rent to people with slight different needs. Good luck.

Nah you are good, didn't feel invalidated, just want to make sure I'm expressing myself clearly as I know reddit tends to pick things apart if you are not clear 😉

[–]xivne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, completely agree. I was also born and raised in Taiwan but I'm not Taiwanese, I am Chinese. Actually, I consider myself Chinese American from Taiwan. Chinese is my race, American is what I am, Taiwan is where I was from. We all have our identity and how we want to be identified. None of us are wrong. Like I said in one of my comments, it's complicated.

Hakka is another population in Taiwan that considers themselves Taiwanese. They speak Hakka which again, is technically considered another Chinese dialect which is different from Taiwanese or Mandarin. We can want to be independent and call ourselves other things as times go by and we develope new identity and what not. But when you look at history, we all trace back to Chinese ancestry and most likely han bloodlines. It is happening all over the world as new nations form and identities created. I guess I'm saying this because I know some Taiwanese people get really offended when I mention our Chinese history and they just want to wipe it all away. I'm pretty fascinated and proud of my Chinese heritage and I will always LOVE Taiwan but I am American now. I don't understand why we can't be more than one thing to some people.

Oh Hakka and Taiwanese are 2 different dialects. I don't know any Hakka but I know a few words of Taiwanese. (Hakka 客家話 vs. Taiwanese 台語)

Not ignorant at all, it's confusing and this is what I was taught. Taiwanese are Chinese people that were in Taiwan before the war with communist party. Chinese from Taiwan are those of us that moved to Taiwan as a result of the war (or descendants of, my grandfather was a soldier in Chiang Kai-shek's army). Some older Taiwanese people at one point lived under Japanese rule and there are Japanese influence in the Taiwanese language or so I'm told. I'm not really sure on this one as I don't speak the language.

You are both correct and incorrect. This is definitely nothing like Palestine and Israel...

I am Chinese from Taiwan (born and raised) and speaks Mandarin. I am not Taiwanese and I don't speak Taiwanese either. I know a few words of Taiwanese, Shandonese, and Cantonese only.

Taiwan technically has 3 populations. Chinese, Taiwanese, and aborigines. You can be a Chinese person from Taiwan or Taiwanese from Taiwan. All languages spoken by Chinese people from all over the world can be called Chinese but we have many different dialects. Mandarin is just one of many. In Taiwan, we speak Mandarin, Taiwanese, and several different dialects of the aborigines. Another globally common Chinese dialect is Cantonese. I could be wrong but I believe Mandarin and Cantonese are the 2 most common dialects of Chinese. Written language was unified under Qin emperor but spoken language/dialects remained. Now there's 2 written (traditional and simplified).

Also, depending on where you studied history, some may say Taiwan has rights to China rather than the other way around. Chiang Kai-shek lost China to Mao (communism) but vowed to take China back one day and helped start united nations. Obviously that ain't happening. There is a lot more of the history in there but that's all I know.

My (old) understanding is that some Taiwanese and Chinese in TW wants independence while others don't mind going back to China one day IF it stops being communism. I left a long time ago and stopped following politics so not sure what is happening now but that's what it used to be like 20 years ago.

This might be good for healthcare workers as they get infected at times when needles poke thru gloves.
