When me and my ex are being greedy bed-hogs, we starfish-stack.

Yes and no? I mean, you want something different when you go somewhere. And there are plenty of traditional-themed hotels etc in China. But there is a peculiar ideal of Western luxury that is sought after, especially since Chinese-theme things are usually drawn from history, and hence old-fashioned. In addition, I'm…

No, that's the character for "brother" in Chinese. In Japanese, the full word is 兄弟, or "kyoudai", but generally just the first kanji alone is used to represent brotherhood.

I call dibs on the "I'm a stupid American" t-shirts.

Term he's looking for is "兄". You'd definitely go for kyoudai if he wanted brother.

I looked it over again, and his translation actually made more sense than I thought at first. "全都", meaning totally or entirely, always goes right before a verb, so the English equivalent would be "Destroy Them Totally", except that English grammar does allow for that placement. To highlight that it's wrong, he…

But that word is never used at the end of a sentence. It'd be like saying "destroy they all", instead of "destroy them all". So yes, they over-stretched the ridiculousness of it, but it's still incorrect. "全都" is actually supposed to modify a verb rather than a noun, unlike in English, which is why it looks ridiculous.

I'd like to say that Asians are plenty bad about co-opting English words too. Not so much as tattoos, though, due to the cultural stigma.

My opinion has everything to do with the way you've presented yourself in this thread. How much it has to do with the actual you, is for yourself to decide.

Unless it's my parents, I really could care less. It's not pornographic.

The dismiss button exists for a good reason. I don't think he's going to get it, not today at least.

Offensively worded, noted. But those weren't my words. And yes, inappropriate point to bring up in a discussion about modern times.

They have the internet and reality labels switched :P

Wow. Someone should save this post for posterity as an excellently-preserved example of "mansplaining" on Jezebel. Homegrown, to boot.

I went back and looked at it; I understand what you mean now, and still find it kind of disconcerting. When you explained yourself, it was in terms of both men and women of a certain age/class/disposition acting entitled. But when you phrased it, it came out as a diss on young women, which was tasteless.

I was answering to the last point. Men do tend to prefer youth, but "raw beauty"? Are you f-ing with me? You realize that beauty is defined culturally, right?

Someone is an entitled elitist for not being attracted to you? @_@

Actually, during certain periods of time in wide swaths of middle-class China, you literally could not find a husband unless you had your foot bound. Didn't matter how good you looked. Besides, people rarely picked their own spouses those days.

I'm not offended by booth babes, but I do think they're a bad idea.

If there was a guy there dressed in similarly skimpy clothes, it'd probably make me more uncomfortable, tbh. I feel like tech shows/conferences are professional, tech-oriented affairs, and booth babes just feel déclassé and lazy. It's like, rather than showcase the best parts of products and work on creating hype,…
