I would say it’s bad because the only reason low quality products exist from China is because there is a company ordering them, typically American. All of our expensive tech comes from there any you haven’t heard of most of those companies

Okay bud Chinese 99.999999999% of the time refers to Han. If you ask a Chinese person they will say 中国人, Chinese. Yes Han is the proper nomenclature but no Chinese person would make this argument.

What to you use for input?

That’s cool! :) I also started Japanese in 2016 and also fell off in 2019 until 2020! Chinese maybe since 2014. What’s made you fall in love with it? How’s your studying been?

Haha, yes. Used them for ten plus years to study it. Now doing more Japanese but sucking at it. Regardless Pleco is the best language app outside of Anki. No Japanese app can do handwriting like Pleco. If I encounter some old or unclean character in Japanese I still use Pleco

Anki on iPhone. Pay one fee and it funds the other users but it’s forever.

Photosync small one time fee but you get an awesome app forever.

Pleco app. Has some add ons but well worth the money and no other fees.

I want the prey 2 commercial that we all saw

I would fund anything dune related as long is it was written or approved by Frank Herbert. For one I’m sad the movies will stop with book two. Also, the games that came out and are coming out look very boring to me. A game somewhere between Skyrim and assassins creed might be more fun. I’m not a game designer though. I would want it to capture the intense 1 on 1 fights as well as the massive intergalactic political action.

As a Buddhist if nothing happens after death most problems are solved lol. This is why I always find “secular” Buddhists funny. Either way being compassionate and a source of wisdom to others is important.

有没有会中文的？

The biggest one I know is French in the Canadian one.

I meant it as better than lemmy.world in censoring in a neolib bias and thinking it’s not hexbear or lemmygrad. I have less bad experience with ML, so I guess least aware user lol ;)

Btw, Lemmy.world also censors Luigi posts. I would switch to ML or mine

You’ll never get bored on the toilet

How do you have so many notifications

Agreed! That was my interest and they just were pushing to end the meeting. Boring!

Idk but as one there is no way a bunch slightly racist old white Christian men can organize anything beyond the local and maybe state level.

Masonry is really cool and used to be highly influential for all levels of society but it’s not that anymore. It’s really sad. My grandparents generations were joiners. After the war everyone joined a society. My parents joined some. But nowadays that’s very rare. Everyone in my lodge was 50-80.

I think the propaganda comes from a similar place of earlier Jesuit propaganda. A bunch of men meeting in secret, seeking education away from church and state, highly involved in the community. Now it’s just having meals, meetings, and planning which charity event to do.

That makes sense about lemmygrad’s odd takes.

As a vegan I fully get that, but most vegan communities are hostile at best.

Previously I found that they were staunchly anti-anything but vegan and carried over said rudeness from the reddit communities. As a vegan myself it was a big turn off. I asked about this and they banned me. Reminiscent of lemmygrad on anything but their specific MLM ideology.

Except when it comes to not raping women
