might just be a tier 3 thing or would you say it's true for 2nd and 1st tier cities too? @kaetaa

2018-05-08 14:06:45 UTC  

then again, education was quite patchy up until several decades ago so i could believe it

2018-05-08 15:01:49 UTC  

Man in my 2nd tier city they had a hard time understanding simplified

2018-05-08 15:02:01 UTC  

People in China can hardly communicate with each other just speaking Mandarin

2018-05-08 15:06:55 UTC  

really makes one <:chink:323022148870602752>

2018-05-08 15:13:30 UTC  

Well, try to explain westeners that chinese isn't necessarly the same

2018-05-08 15:24:39 UTC  

most older people in guangdong can read traditional

2018-05-08 15:25:11 UTC  

if they struggle, they probably struggle with simplified

2018-05-08 15:26:25 UTC  

simplified is not really a lot simplier since you still end up just trying remembering the word the way it is

2018-05-08 15:26:40 UTC  

年青人都應該識讀,係咪?

2018-05-08 15:28:04 UTC  

younger people just never encounter it

2018-05-08 15:28:16 UTC  

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

2018-05-08 15:29:20 UTC  

by now everyone younger than 30 would never practically used traditional

2018-05-08 15:29:55 UTC  

speaking Cantonese is slightly different

2018-05-08 15:30:54 UTC  

its a bit like Hakka language

2018-05-08 15:30:57 UTC  

not even with the prevalence of hk culture?

2018-05-08 15:31:09 UTC  

it's dying

2018-05-08 15:31:40 UTC  

its now a standard to know mandarin

2018-05-08 15:32:38 UTC  

HK had a bunch of Hakka people but they died off

2018-05-08 15:35:48 UTC  

my impression was that local guangdong people used canto with friends and family, mandarin for school and work

2018-05-08 15:35:53 UTC  

does that sound about right?

2018-05-08 22:42:22 UTC  

ye but whenever they write/read it would always be simplified

2018-05-09 12:20:07 UTC  

I'm not knowledgeable on the whole "free Tibet" thing, so I went to some YouTube videos to know more. 80% of the comments are from, what I assume, are trained mainland shitposters

2018-05-09 12:20:29 UTC  

They fucking losers go online just to make China seem good. It was weird cause they all say the same stuff over and over

2018-05-09 12:20:51 UTC  

Comparing tibet to Hawaii and Texas in America. Saying that if people want tibet to go, they should want states to be free too

2018-05-09 12:21:27 UTC  

Or comparing the Tibetans to native Americans. They never had any real arguments, just a lot of "oh yeah? Well what about (your country blah blah)"

2018-05-09 12:21:33 UTC  

It seems like it's always like that

2018-05-09 12:21:37 UTC  

Comparing tibet to Hawaii and Texas in America. Saying that if people want tibet to go, they should want states to be free too

2018-05-09 12:21:52 UTC  

They always deflect instead of saying real stuff. I'm guessing they are taught this

2018-05-09 12:23:05 UTC  

They say "we didn't conquer Tibet. We liberated them from slavery"

2018-05-09 12:23:46 UTC  

And people mention that the CCP stole the next child reincarnation and he's been missing forever (probably dead) they reply with "he's a fucking slaveowner he can't be trusted "

2018-05-09 12:23:52 UTC  

It's like dude he was a child haha

2018-05-09 12:26:02 UTC  

"he" it was clearly cute girl this time

2018-05-09 23:40:35 UTC  

Rip Lama

2018-05-09 23:43:50 UTC  

llama

2018-05-09 23:44:05 UTC  

now he can ascend to become the best Peruvian he can be

2018-05-09 23:45:06 UTC  

If they kill the kid panchen llama, wouldnt he reincarnate, according to Avatar the last airbender rules

2018-05-09 23:45:13 UTC  

meaning they have to hold him hostage

2018-05-09 23:46:46 UTC
