Died beans, several kinds

$150 for a aluminium safety razor are you fucking kidding me? You can get a safety razor online for less than half that.

protip never buy anything you see advertised, especially on youtube

I hesitate to post this cause i’m bumping the post

Oh i was going to say I’m wearing a tshirt i got in 2007, but now i think of it i have a stuffed animal from when i was born as well

Yeh pretty much. I dont totally agree because sometimes ‘family drama’ can really hurt. Generally, funerals suck, but they’re not about you. You kinda just have to suck it up and have a tedious day. Stand off the the side and dont bother yourself with the other people.

OP, you ought to be there to bury your dad I think. I imagine you’d at least get a free feed out of it.

Getting married for love was imo, a brief fad, and a gross perversion of marriage, it’s always been about wealth and inheritance

i cant make a more articulate point rn sorry

There are websites that can swap between simplified and traditional Chinese characters

in my experience learning characters I needed to learn how to write them, starting from basic strokes - there are some good videos on youtube, you have to be patient, this takes a long time

for traditional characters and Taiwan dialect you’d want to learn bopomofo and not pinyin, for the reasons other people raised. From what I have seen bopomofo would also help learning the basic strokes and some radicals

i found a podcast called Dimsum Pinyin really really helpful for training my ears to tones, and pinyin in general, but there are likely better resources from ROC. There’s probably a lot out of ROC, if you look for ‘comprehensible input’ videos itll help.

hanping dictionary app and pleco dictionary were really helpful when i started, they both have paid features showing stroke order for characters

Ive seen people say you dont need to learn hanzi, but it’s not only fun, it’s really helped me remember words. If I hear a phrase and can identify the characters, it’s much easier to remember what it means. the character for cat, 猫 mao, is a radical for dog 犭quan, grass 艹 cao, and field 田 tian

anyway, rambling while i procrastinate, good luck

I can recognise almost 300 汉字 💅 it did take me about 8 months, life keeps getting in my way

also finally, formally medicated, no more self medocating for me!

also congrats to you OP!

Youre advocating for population control, fuck off

There is 100% teenagers with access to assests far beyond this, being in your 40s doesn’t mean youve got access to anything tbh

The difference between you an a teenager is 20something years of life experience. Don’t infantalise yourself

hey i’ll be at yours in about five

Try responding with shut the fuck up, or i don’t care

I actually happen to enjoy music :)

Mussolini had early supporters who were Jewish, it makes me chuckle, but it’s really irrelevent. Fascism isn’t inherently antisemitic, the kernel of fascism is anticommunism

Regardless, the zionists getting getting into bed with the nazis is such a no brainer. As the saying goes: a Zionist is an antisemite who loves Jews.

Chickens are little demons, they would absolutely eat muggets, this joke never makes sense lol

I personally blame democratic voters

The nazi who shot and killed 51 Muslim worshipers in Christchurch in 2017, shouted ‘subscribe to pewdiepie’ at the start of his live streamed rampage

you’ll have to excuse me if I never let that go
