bad day posted:Uh if you're not aware of how the USA kidnaps foreign nationals and throws them into secret prisons where they are tortured for years on end, murders civilians with robot airplanes flown by video gamers thousands of miles away, spies on literally every single person on earth, etc. then you're just misinformed. You can't claim any sort of moral disparity between the US and China because both countries are structurally corrupt and citizens have absolutely no rights whatsoever if the government says so. Yeah it loving sucks but that's the world we live in, hand-wringing on the internet and bitching about "human rights" isn't going to fix anything. Might as well just get on with your life and stop judging everything like you're the ultimate moral arbiter of the universe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blpe_sGnnP4

Is river crab society a reference to crab mentality, or is it just a homophone and the crab thing is a coincidence?

It's a homophone: 和谐掉 means to "harmonize out," because that is the CCP's reason for censoring stuff, is that it's not harmonious. So people joke that instead of stuff getting censored or deleted, that it's getting "harmonized" 河蟹 means "river crab" but it sounds similar (same sounding words, almost same tones) to the above.

I heard that in Beijing and Shanghai people walk fast. In Chongqing, people--and to be sexist in addition to racist--especially Chinese women, walk slowest of all. When it was raining and umbrellas were out, it was nearly impossible to progress down the street. I don't think SE asians can be slower than Chongqing women, because I remember thinking often that if the CQ women were any slower, they would actually not be moving at all

A language is mostly spoken, and it's hard to determine if it's the same word or not, but I'd lean toward saying it's actually the same word. I tried to do quick google research and couldn't find the answer, but I don't think 她 has been around very long, and the fact that Mandarin speakers gently caress up 'he' and 'she' in English, for instance a guy calling his wife "he," makes me think that for Mandarin speakers, 他 and 她 (and 它） are basically the same word

他 (thid person pronoun) only splitted into male and female form at the end of Qing dynasty. Before that it was all one character. There was a brief time a female form of"you" but it was not adopted.

I went out with some Chinese friends once, and it was like me, two guys, and four or five girls, and I remember we had to walk pretty far from the restaurant to this KTV place, and we actually had this problem where me and the other guys were physically incapable of walking as slow as the women. It was like, no matter how slow we tried to walk, they kept falling behind us. I was trying to slow my steps and take as shallow steps as possible, and no matter what the women just kept falling behind us and sajiaoing that we were talking too fast and need to slow down etc.

In Cantonese, both are 佢 E: a brief dictionary search has 他 as 'he, she, him, her' for mandarin only, and in both mandarin and canto as 'other, another, different, elsewhere, future, , 她 as 'she, her' for mandarin only and not used at all in cantonese, and 伊 for 'he, she' in both Cantonese and mandarin simplefish fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Aug 3, 2015 |

My girlfriend is the worst for slow walking, I take 5 steps and then have to wait for her to catch up. If she gets a phonecall she will turn around and walk back in the direction we just came from, she runs 5 seperate businesses so she gets a lot of phonecalls... and then occasionally she'll speed up and start shouting quickly at me.
