I love that she makes you so angry. GO PATRICIA GO!

A few months ago there was a story on Gawker about how a Korean woman was getting surgeries to look like Miranda Kerr. People seemed reluctant to call her racist and mostly expressed pity that she felt so uncomfortable in her own skin that she had to change it.

Now it seems because Xiahn was a white dude, it's suddenly…

Ignoring personal preferences and insisting that all races are equally beautiful is also a form of racism...

Yellow Face is not racist by itself. The racism in Yellow Face comes from how it was used, ie. to exaggerate and entertain. If this guy is racist for getting asian eyes, then every single asian woman that has dyed her hair another colour is racist for overstepping the racial boundaries imposed by the colour of her…

That's exactly the problem with the game: It's GTA Style. Everything "original" about the game was pulled from other media and consequently there's no original ideas in Watch Dogs.

Well, they're space zombies so I don't think they really care.

People are affected differently by drugs and alcohol and the fact they do isn't an indication of trauma, mental illness or other underlying issues.

One of my buddies gets super quiet and paranoid when he smokes up, while another becomes a social butterfly that says the things he overthinks and doesn't say when he's…

Worse than the bomb dropping is the wiping, and wiping and wiping and wiping and wetting toilet paper so it wipes better but only falls apart midwipe and is soaked with blood because I'm doing so much damage just trying to get clean... followed by more wiping.

Ironic, because sushi is borderline junk food that can traipse right over into junk food territory depending on the sushi joint.

That being said, I do love me deep fried sushi with bacon, cream cheese and salmon skin though.

The Yangtze and Pearl River Deltas are both mega cities and both are growing at light speed, and both have living standards much higher than the average. Shanghai alone has to plan for population growth of almost 700,000 people a year.

Oh it's not just bots that are ruining the game's economy, there's also a problem with hacking.

About a month ago I was kicked from the game for logging in. I logged back in, which took about a minute and my bank account was empty. I immediately changed my email and account passwords and sent a help request and the…

I don't find tones too hard at all. It helped that when I was first learning I "wrote" the tones in the air when trying to speak. It looked stupid as hell but helped me remember the tones way better.

Kids in China learn English as a second language the same way kids in Canada do, i.e. they barely learn it at all and are unable to communicate in it. Mandarin is the lingua franca of China and it has around 1 billion speakers, so yes, China does have more native language speakers than English does.

The only thing…

Haha, awesome poem. I had to re-read so many lines over again because I was frustrated for pronouncing something wrong.

If you ignore reading and writing and just focus on speaking, Japanese is easy to learn and Chinese is even easier. It's the written part of those languages that make them difficult to learn. Nowadays, even people of those countries are forgetting how to write because all the "writing" nowadays only takes place on…

Easy? It's one of the most difficult languages to learn because of our irregular vocabulary stolen from multiple languages, a lack of solid pronunciation rules, and the living hell that is English Grammar (there's no solid rules, every grammar "rule" can be broken).

Don't believe me? Just try thinking about auxiliary…

In China youtiao often came with a salty/savoury brown dipping sauce, it was okay but it still feels weird to me to eat a doughnut-ishy thing with something savoury.

I would kill to eat youtiao with cinnamon sugar. Certainly beats dipping it in that salty brown stuff.

The Bible has a 100% supportive stance on incestuous marriages between cousins.

RationalFaith doesn't even realize (or want to realize) their beliefs are poorly thought out, so there's no point in trying to debate. That's why I asked them to consider psychological help because I'm sincerely worried about their state of mind.

Paraphrasing, in their support of the "traditonal" view of marriage,…
