@johnfrum#8811 you can require people trying to get a degree to at least pass a course on it, show some understanding of it
wow thx discord
@Droidbot What you mean by that though
CS is mainly just logic
brb gonna hack the chinks
i mean, gen-ed level phil is literally "learn these five or six names, here's a list of logical fallacies, write babbies' first proof without falling into em"
@transience yeah, something I'm quite ok at
>traditional characters
the only good characters
Argh I'll worry about this when the time comes
@Matthew yeah, I was told it would help with indigestion bit messed up the ratios. Just feel like dying now.
@transience >the intentionally confusing alphabet system designed to suppress peasants is the best
G U L A G
U
L
A
G
gulag is always the answer
delet this
Also, the part about simplified characters promoting literacy is sort of a meme
@Kaytee the problem is the goal is to make more moral or at least more logical people. How many people do you think will actually take that away? How long unti standards are dropped because who the fuck needs to know that shit to chunk numbers?
while they did manage to sort out the illiteracy problem, taiwan and HK are getting on just fine with traditional characters <:thenk:329322130804047872>
simplification was a mistake
@johnfrum#8811 i mean, focusing higher education on getting a job is kinda a problem to begin with
>small wealthy countries can afford to educate thier people better
>large relatively poor countries can't
This is why I don't like you.
any retard could sit at a desk and tap numbers into a spreadsheet
Do you know what simplifcation is though
why does that require degree
higher educatioin should be about what it says on the tin
when I send mainland chinks messages in traditional, they can read it no problem
not "prove you deserve this job by paying money"
@transience instead of pretty pictures it's now actual word sounds
Yes, that's better
simplification is still "pretty pictures" without the pretty part
also i wish we'd stop pressuring people to go to uni over trade school from such a ridiculous young age
@Kaytee yeah but piling on coursework to drive people further into debt isn't going to fix it though.
skilled trades are important and one can make a good living doing em
left is traditional, right is simplified http://www.chinese-outpost.com/language/images/characters/TRADSIMP.GIF
@johnfrum#8811 i mean that's not an issue with the coursework that's an issue with america's for-profit everything
if you can read one, chances are that you can read the other
JAKE FIX YOUR SHITTY FUCKING BOTNET
the only real benefit of simplification is less strokes
i.e. easier to write
