It would seem to me that there are as many drawing "methods" and "techniques" as there are grains of sand on Earth, and just about all of them are totally arbitrary

No disrespect to the author or press, and the Daodejing is obviously of monumental importance. But how come this seems to be the only text people care about? I happen to know there are other interesting and important Chinese texts worth translating, too. Genuinely curious.
Yale University Press@yalepress
In this new translation of the TAO TE CHING, David Bentley Hart reveals the metaphysical, moral, and poetic depth of Laozi’s classic. Born of the Axial Age, it explores the tension between flesh and spirit, renewed here with striking clarity and relevance.

@JakabfiK I think the most problematic aspect of simplification was replacing certain characters in some words that instilled meaning to those characters that don't belong. Other than that I think it was mostly sound
English
It was not completely remade at all.
The first round of simplification drew on a millenia of shorthands that were already in use and raised them to an official status. It was sensible and understandable.
Not without its issues, but it was sound all around.
homosexual communist@cncsubbottom69
whn i learned “simplified” mandarin was developed by the communist party of china to promote literacy, i realizd how little every1 else cares abt public education. completely remade their 3000yo language to make it easier for poor people to read/write. a phenomenal accomplishment

@wellanyway2 @kisara1992 @xiaoshunli You can take a man out of an igloo, but you can't take the igloo out of a man's heart. They're trapped in their own minds, forever reserved and gloomy, never realizing the wonders a little whimsy can do for them. You would think being a homo would boost his openness but alas
English
@kisara1992 @xiaoshunli 因为我喜欢欧美文化，所以觉得自信是优点，即使一个普通人在很多人面前也能很自然的侃侃而谈，你可以讨厌这种人，继续你的自卑。

小红书绝对是中国有史以来最爱吹牛逼的App。
真的，一个中国男人身高1.75米，年薪30万，父母有都退休金，有一辆车，这个条件放在现实里，95%的正常女人，恋爱结婚，都觉得条件挺好的。
但是在小红书上，这样条件的男人，竟然被称为垃圾，臭屌丝，普信男。
我他妈真的服了。小红书一共3.5亿用户，2.45亿女性，我有时候真的怀疑。
这些在小红书大放厥词的仙女
，她们就是在高杠杆做空其他女性，大肆传播这种言论，让正常女性对男人的眼光高到天上去，然后她们乘机收割优质男。
知乎只是吹：人在美国，刚下飞机，年薪百万。
小红书吹：身高1.8米以下残废，年薪50万以下屌丝，资产A8普信男。
小红书绝对是有史以来最爱吹牛逼的App，没有之一！！！

@teortaxesTex @Honolulu_____ Absolutely terrifying blood curse, did we kill Jesus or something?
English
@Honolulu_____ btw do children of Mainlanders who were conceived post-1966 *outside China* share the mark or nah? Like is the curse actively continuously imprinted upon new embryos but has no intergenerational trace, or did the episode of CR warp mainlanders through the generations?

When I tell them about how the CCP is evil they’ll try to change the topic to EVs, drones, public infrastructure, renewable energy or AI

I genuinely want mainland China to be as destitute and miserable as possible (while still having widespread internet access) so they’re more amendable to theories about why the CCP sucks ass the material prosperity is an impediment I want the US to (moderately) destroy China

The whole "Goth" aesthetic has lost it's allure, now it's just quirk chungus'. Goth girls are supposed to be scary, like bands you've never heard of, and be mysteriously good with all matter of animals, not autistic cartoon lovers who just happen to have spent $200 at hot topic

You can’t even drink the tap water in Taiwan either despite having a higher GDP per capita than the mainland. boiling water is still common before drinking it.
Philippe Lemoine@phl43
I constantly criticize China Derangement Syndrome, so you can hardly accuse me of being into China-bashing, but the replies to this are insane. It's just people who either pretend that the same thing is true in the West or claim that it's no big deal if you can't drink tap water.
