Trying to change things by making school more tedious and longer in an attempt to instil logic will just make people hate college and increase the burden in the state if it was 'free'

@transience what the fuck is traditional?

2017-12-12 02:10:39 UTC  

Column on the left are traditional characters

2017-12-12 02:10:52 UTC  

as you can see, the traditional character for door looks like a gate or a door

2017-12-12 02:10:58 UTC  

not so much with the simplified variant

2017-12-12 02:11:09 UTC  

with simplification, the characters lose their meaning

2017-12-12 02:11:44 UTC  

this is where traditional loses me, how the fuck is that supposed to look like a door or a horse or a scholar?

2017-12-12 02:12:03 UTC  

Character for speech has the radical for language

2017-12-12 02:12:13 UTC  

with the simplified variant, it's just some line

2017-12-12 02:12:32 UTC  

that's one of the main arguments in favour of traditional

2017-12-12 02:12:49 UTC  

it's arguably harder to decipher the meaning when you don't have these features

2017-12-12 02:13:19 UTC  

The charecters didn't lose thier meaning, they became words instead of pictures.
Then again communists have universally terrible ideas so you might have a point

2017-12-12 02:14:20 UTC  

Oh, they're still pictures alright

2017-12-12 02:14:31 UTC  

but instead, they're like pictures of abstract art

2017-12-12 02:14:47 UTC  

You told me they were phonetic

2017-12-12 02:14:56 UTC  

pinyin is

2017-12-12 02:15:01 UTC  

the third column

I managed to find some of the best-worst royalty free christmas music for a project i made last last year

2017-12-12 02:15:27 UTC  

both traditional and simplified are logograms

2017-12-12 02:15:35 UTC  

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

2017-12-12 02:17:20 UTC  

I was mistaken. Why the fuck would you remake an entire pictographical alphabet and instead of a phonetic alphabet make another pictographical alphabet?

2017-12-12 02:17:31 UTC  

Fucking communists are retarded.

2017-12-12 02:17:52 UTC  

hence why simplification was a mistake <:hyperthonk:327934332545007617>

2017-12-12 02:18:42 UTC  

the only bigger mistake was the cultural revolution

2017-12-12 02:18:52 UTC  

Eh, it still is easier to read, uses less ink and has less potential for miscommunication.

2017-12-12 02:19:55 UTC  

is that m dot in the wild

2017-12-12 02:19:56 UTC  

So you gonna ban him?

2017-12-12 02:20:03 UTC  

Nah

2017-12-12 02:20:17 UTC  

some autist thinks that comfy is a /g/ mod or has close ties with a /g/ mod

2017-12-12 02:20:32 UTC  

conspiring against him

2017-12-12 02:20:48 UTC  

Why did comfy delete that nah

2017-12-12 02:20:53 UTC  

it's been going on since csg was a thing

2017-12-12 02:21:09 UTC  

Only because they go on massive samefagging shitpost sprees about me then get banned for being off-topic

2017-12-12 02:21:17 UTC  

I have literally nothing to do with it

2017-12-12 02:21:25 UTC  

Pretty funny though
