2018-02-08 11:43:27 UTC

I prefer to focus on myself for now and sort that out later

2018-02-08 12:06:26 UTC

Problem: chink is unhappy that she can't visit her family for CNY because she has exams. Should I:

a) surprise her with taking her to a Chinese social event nearby that has some weird concerts on CNY night, one of the singer is even Taiwanese

b) invite some of her chink friends who can't go back either, to our home, cook altogether and have a CNY stlye dinner here

2018-02-08 12:06:34 UTC

or another suggestion?

2018-02-08 12:07:00 UTC

give her a red packet

2018-02-08 12:07:09 UTC

yes that, too

2018-02-08 12:07:10 UTC

chink should be happy with money

2018-02-08 12:07:15 UTC

that's all you need

2018-02-08 12:07:27 UTC

I have a few Taiwan dollar left from last holiday and I will give it to her with some of those weird envelopes from the China shop

2018-02-08 12:10:52 UTC

b + red packet

2018-02-08 12:15:12 UTC

do taiwan celebrate chinese new year?

2018-02-08 12:15:29 UTC

who else celebrate chinese new year except chinks

2018-02-08 12:15:50 UTC

Korea

2018-02-08 12:16:59 UTC

if you mean the lunar new year, then I think viets celebrate it too

2018-02-08 12:21:22 UTC

thank you for the input

2018-02-08 12:21:28 UTC

I will invite her friends + red packet

2018-02-08 12:57:45 UTC

So for mainland Chinese New year traditions there aren't many. Pop fireworks, eat a lot of food, give money to kids in red envelopes

2018-02-08 12:58:16 UTC

Invite people over to eat. Watch the new years gala on Chinese tv (there are online live streams)

2018-02-08 12:58:37 UTC

You pretty much spend a whole week never leaving home. Stock up on food before hand

2018-02-08 12:58:55 UTC

Put up a bunch of red shit outside your front door

2018-02-08 12:59:04 UTC

Stuff that says lucky and money etc.

2018-02-08 12:59:26 UTC

Hang some Chinese characters upside down on the walls

2018-02-08 12:59:32 UTC

Boom chinese new year

2018-02-08 13:11:32 UTC

ye but if you put it like that, that's every holiday

2018-02-08 13:12:05 UTC

>christmas: pop fireworks, eat a lot of food, give money to kids

2018-02-08 13:33:55 UTC

@kaetaa you can replace Chinese New Year with Christmas and fine-tune it a little bit and it would work, too

2018-02-08 13:47:13 UTC

Itโ€™s pretty funny actually

2018-02-08 13:48:00 UTC

See Christmas is basically a party because it might be the last time you see parents/grandparents before the real cold sets in

2018-02-08 13:48:12 UTC

And it was a historic time for them to die

2018-02-08 13:48:53 UTC

China does it later in the year because they wouldnโ€™t have to feed those people in a feast

2018-02-08 13:52:47 UTC

That got grim pretty fast

2018-02-08 13:55:50 UTC

they rather celebrate that the old people are halfway through the critical time

2018-02-08 14:05:20 UTC

Yeah there's not much cultural stuff with Chinese New year, it's just a standard holiday to see family.

2018-02-08 14:05:39 UTC

But they go all out

2018-02-08 14:05:47 UTC

It's the time of year to impress your family

2018-02-08 14:05:52 UTC

To show how much money you made

2018-02-08 14:06:07 UTC

So buy the extra fancy food not because it tastes good but because it's expensive

2018-02-08 14:06:59 UTC

So ironically I had some of the worse food ever during CNY last year because people will buy the most expensive stuff, so the people selling really cheap shit will put it in a nice box and sell it for loads

2018-02-08 14:07:23 UTC

Again, I understand I'm explaining most products, but it's especially bad during CNY

2018-02-08 14:08:36 UTC

Why are Chinese girls so good @porco

2018-02-08 14:08:49 UTC

theyre not really lol

2018-02-08 14:08:54 UTC

not most of them, at least

2018-02-08 14:13:37 UTC

@Deleted User I don't know, I actually never had one. Just a Taiwanese and she's the best I've ever had

2018-02-08 14:14:19 UTC

In terms of gf quality for me it was
Taiwan #1
Germany #2
Belarus #3
And Korea #4

2018-02-08 14:14:35 UTC

But Korea and Belarus are almost same trash quality

2018-02-08 14:14:51 UTC

Germany was fine but she had weird fetishes

2018-02-08 14:17:44 UTC

Please do explain in further detail

2018-02-08 14:18:46 UTC

The Korean one was working in Germany for a limited amount of time. Her hidden scope was to fuck as many white guys as possible because no one knew her here anyway and she wanted to have that experience

2018-02-08 14:42:18 UTC

^

2018-02-08 14:42:26 UTC

My whole experience with Korean women irl

2018-02-08 14:46:59 UTC

Still the woman of what i thought would be the one was french ..

Like movies and TV shows based on the war with Japan, but if you look at the numbers, Japan completely obliterated China during the war, despite having 30% of Chinas troops. But in these shows, China always has super smart and super tactical military men and it shows the Japanese as barbaric monsters who just want to kill for fun. They also show Chinese destroying millions of Japanese in really horrific death scenes.

2018-02-08 16:15:42 UTC

30% of the shows on Chinese television are Chinese vs Japanese war time stuff

2018-02-08 16:16:25 UTC

These shows are all very popular. Chinks love watching their smart country men destroying hordes of dumb Japanese soldiers

2018-02-08 16:17:30 UTC

Chinese believe they won the war (which technically, they did, because US forced Japan to surrender) but Chinese people honestly believe they were the ones responsible for driving Japanese out

2018-02-08 16:18:16 UTC

I asked a few former co-workers and they all had similar stories of secret society Chinese communists (before it was established) who basically won the war for China

2018-02-08 16:18:33 UTC

And how they were super smart and infiltrated the Japs and Japan is small

2018-02-08 16:18:35 UTC

Etc etc.

2018-02-08 16:19:05 UTC

Also saying "small Japan" is an insult in China to Japan. They think because the physical land mass of Japan is small , China is better

2018-02-08 16:19:31 UTC

Which explains why China gets so butthurt if you ever say something isn't China (Taiwan etc) because their pride is with how big their country is

2018-02-08 16:22:06 UTC

Ever heard of the flying tigers ? They basically won the air war and slowed the Japanese down in China

There was a period of time in Chinese history where a group of highly trained atheletes tried to fight colonization via martial arts

2018-02-08 16:29:00 UTC

There was also a period where a lot of Europeans shot them all down and didn't even care about it..

2018-02-08 16:32:04 UTC

Yes all of history people have shit all over chinese

2018-02-08 16:32:15 UTC

And that is part of where their insecuirty comes from

2018-02-08 16:32:27 UTC

It's a culmination of events and beliefs

2018-02-08 16:58:10 UTC

The Maoist period is also great

2018-02-08 17:00:34 UTC

Campaigns such as the pest control one are just so incredibly sad. They are not even rooted in opportunism, just in plain ignorance on a massive scale

2018-02-08 17:41:08 UTC

since you guys were talking about learning chinese, i learned in highschool mostly but thers some great apps top help you try just searching it. theres one called like chinese skills or something and has a panda on it. i like that oine its pretty good

2018-02-08 18:02:56 UTC

Japan would have annexed the entirety of China had it not been for America <:chink:323022148870602752>

2018-02-08 18:03:13 UTC

They were steamrolling everything with no real signs of stoppage coming any time soon

2018-02-08 18:09:37 UTC

Nah, russia would have stopped them and the invasion of Manchuria severely out streched them

2018-02-08 18:24:14 UTC

>Implying Russia cared about the chinks

2018-02-08 18:25:10 UTC

They cared about japanese encroaching in thier eastern territories

2018-02-08 18:31:22 UTC

You forget that a lot of that region was less Russia than no man's land after the Japan Russia war.
They didn't had to defend, they'd had to expand to fight Japanese troops..

2018-02-08 18:32:05 UTC

Around that time, Germany had started messing with Russia as well. Splitting their forces like that would not have done them a whole lot of good.

<:chink:323022148870602752>

2018-02-08 19:07:16 UTC

@johnfrum Russians would have had to use more divisions to defend a larger stretch of land + at the beginning the Manchurian army was still a formidable force

2018-02-08 19:08:24 UTC

On the topic of Chinese military. Where do Chinese soldiers predominantly come from ? City or countryside?

2018-02-08 19:15:59 UTC

R E G I O N L O C K C H I N A

2018-02-08 19:16:08 UTC

Even though I don't play the game. It's shit <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

2018-02-08 19:17:55 UTC

I tried it yesterday

2018-02-08 19:18:05 UTC

The idea is super fun

2018-02-08 19:18:31 UTC

But it needs to be polished up quite a bit

2018-02-08 19:19:01 UTC

The movement is sluggish to me and I don't know how shooting works

2018-02-08 19:19:09 UTC

And melee doesn't work at all

2018-02-08 21:19:30 UTC

i like it. has a lot of points where you just sit and contemplate about ur next moves, i havnt found a game where ur forced into that or die

2018-02-08 21:20:20 UTC

you can head shot someone with a punch

2018-02-08 21:20:49 UTC

feels good man

2018-02-08 21:41:53 UTC

@Deleted User they're probably tier-88 nongmin

2018-02-08 21:58:21 UTC

@ferongr can you elaborate ? I have no clue what those are

2018-02-08 22:04:17 UTC

tier-88 means shitty inland city

2018-02-08 22:04:33 UTC

tier-1 cities are cities like Shenzen etc

2018-02-08 22:05:08 UTC

nongmin = "country bumpkin", basically people from the inland low tier cities

2018-02-08 22:05:43 UTC

used to be poor and are the epitome of the disgusting chinese with no manners

2018-02-08 22:34:50 UTC

But tough people I take ?
