  • Contempt (insult?) of cops should be legal.

    Personal opinion. (It’s illegal in Taiwan)

    Lol. Reminds me of a joke: If you go to Hong Kong and say 谁拆楼, is sounds similar to 死差佬 (in Cantonese), an “insult” to cops.

    Chinese is good at making names short, but terrible at making names extremely short.

    My name is ■■■, and its funny how knowing the number of characters does not deanonymize me an any way, almost everyone has 3 character names, its so standarized.

    Except like those rare 2 character names, in which case society just deems you weird (not really, but I personally always notice the 2 character names more, but yes, you could technically make your name shorter. Or if you have 4 characters, people are gonna think you’re a Japanese (because last name having 2 characters is a very Japanese thing).

    So if you go to a western country and have to use the Pinyin as your name, its usually gonna be 2-5 letters for last name, 4-10 letters for the given name, not too long, not too short, just perfect. You could say Chinese names are the perfect names, 3 characters, 3 4 三四 生死 life-death, 4 is death, 3 is life. So your name is kinda symbolically representing life. (Not sure if this is intended or I’m just attibuting meaning to coincidences)

    But also: Names like 曹操 (Cao Cao) has a very short Pinyin name, if you are lucky enough to get these short names (or I guess you could change it, couldn’t you?)

    (Also how does a Taiwanese get their name romanized? Taiwan doesn’t use Pinyin… 🤔)






  • Based on your previous posts, I assume you are a Mandarin speaking Taiwanese?

    Passive Aggressive 就是好像我妈恨我的时候她根本拒绝跟我说话,然后用它母老虎的恶眼神来看我,想说句话都不行,连骂都不骂,几乎当我不存在。

    或者… 一个同学故意的,假装“不小心”碰到你,然后你去 confront 他的时候他就说 “it was just an accident, I’m sooooooooo sorrrryyyy, 你这么生气干嘛,都说了对不起了,he he he (偷笑)” 然后就跟他的同伙嘲笑你的种族或者 mock 你的母语 (他们不是华裔的美国同学)

    或者… 我告诉我妈我想自杀的时候,她跟我说:“用不用开车载你去啊?😂” (她真的那么笑着跟我说 😭)








  • The biggest difference is line of sight communications can not be picked up by a microphone. No need to worry about smartphones, or talking too loud and neighbors hear it. Even in public, you can find a blind spot where CCTV doesn’t see you, then use sign language, even a cop around the corner cannot know what you signed, but if you talked, they could hear your prescense. In many situations, it’s much easier to control who can see you, vs controlling where your soundwaves go. Short of any reality-bending inventions, physics is physics, light always stops with a wall. This isn’t just speaking a different language, this is a whole different approach to how your communicate.

    I mean, you know how when a covert ops military operation is depicted in media, the soldiers always use sign gestures when around enemy troops? It’s like that. Harder to detect.
