Every forum post I've seen mentioning 白話字 and 台羅 mentions how hard it is to read and how few Hokkien speakers can even read it. The few proponents for it seem to be holding on for religious reasons (Presbyterians). >You can still do

Trying to learn pronunciation through some sort of visual language annotation is one the most counterproductive ways you could approach it. Pronunciation varies subtly from person to person and even from situation to situation, all this inf

India has full on communist guerilla groups fighting the modi government with no 2nd amendment. In the past 200 odd years of "gun rights", Americans have never been able to overthrow the same ruling that founded this country despi

You live in a democracy. If you hate your government organize against it. Siding with foreign agitators only makes you look like a neoliberal pawn and delegitimizes your position.

It's foreign state media that's been caught falsifying footage and known to have intelligence assets from both the UK and US working there. Even British people occasionally complain about partisanship. You can call me as many name

Ban me if you want but this is the dumbest comment reply I have ever seen. Chatbots regularly display more intelligence than this. I feel bad for anybody who has to interact with you in real life.

And the mainland is full of Russians pretending to be Chinese like you used to say? You yourself have a massive personal chip on your shoulder against both Taiwan and the mainland. Your anecdote means very little.

Your argument uses a website whose code was written by English speakers. There would still be ASCII but verbose element names like "vector-page-toolbar-container" would definitely be shorter both in utf-8 and in utf-16 if they wer

Downs Syndrome is caused by a random mutation. It's not inherited so the long term rate of it occuring would be unaffected. Given the massive amount of inbreeding in Iceland they have bigger concerns.

Targeted harassment for the purpose of getting people to kill themselves is illegal. People have gone to jail for less than what KF gloats about. All the free speach absolutists crying about "censorship" just shows how ridiculous

I see what looks like an Arduino on one of the pictures. That combined with the plexiglass construction makes it hard to justify the $3000 pricetag for what is essentially some highschooler's hobby project.

My main point was about Vincent Chin and yet a passing mention of Chauvin has triggered some culture war rant about police violence, completely missing the point. You're moving the goalposts by including statistics on all police shooti
