China… eh… sort of…

Not in the villages tho, no, you’d get disowned. People who lives in, or have lived in, cities are probably more open minded.

I think the problem is not really “gay is sin”, but more like “what about my grandchildren”, know what I mean? Culturally, bloodlines are important. I mean, they literally have a whole geneology book tradition. I have one dating back to the 1200s (male ancestors only).

From what I know, its way more acceptable than… say Russia. Russia is just like next-level of fucked up. Seriously, as much I dislike CCP, I’d rather let PRC win than Russian Federation, the Kremlin is just so much worse.

TLDR for LGBT in terms of how people treat you is, from best to worst: Blue Cities in Blue States in the US > Tier 1 Cities in China > Red Cities in Red States in the US

In terms of government… well you just don’t protest about it and kinda keep it low-key, you don’t make a scene, you just keep quiet about it. You won’t have any anti-discrimination laws if someone does find out and discriminate based on that.

If your ancestry is rural, your family is probably gonna disown you, but I doubt you’ll get lynched, but your village will gossip about you, I overhear a lot of gossip when my parents talk on the phone.

Being Gay is more acceptable than being Trans. If I, hypothetically told my mom I want to be a girl, she’d call me a “變態” try to get me hospitalized because “I got poisoned by western ideology”. But if I say I “have a boyfriend”, then my mom is gonna laugh at me and then be like: “what about my grandchildren, you are gonna actually eventually take this seriously and find a real partner right?” and she’d assume I just found a friend that I got very close to, like as a brother or something.

So its really just Christian Religion vs Filial Piety/Confucism. Is there even a place without either? Maybe someone need to build a island somewhere without outdated conservative ideologies?

I once said “Arabic Numerals” in class (US), and my classmates thought I was trying to be racist… like… bruh… that’s literally what these nunbers are called…

So yeah… I never used that term once again.

I mean, I’ve personally never heard of the term “Arabic Numeral” being uttered in a classroom from 2nd grade all the way through Highschool in the US Schools I’ve went to. It’s just “write the numbers in words” or in “numbers/digits”.

Oh lol, I automatically assumed Chinese because that is the language I know…

(But I mean… the Kanji is the same as the 漢字 (HanZi), its not always obvious which language is being referred to lol)

One syllable per character. Coolest language ever. :D

(Also hardest characters to remember)

literally in the middle of a fucking mission

DNA stand for Delightful Nuclear-happy gAndhi, duh.

Funny that in Chinese, I literally have always known it as 阿拉伯數字 (Arabic Numerals).

I’m starting to realize more and more how much the Chinese Language is just simply better at teaching concepts.

Disclaimer, I am ethnic Chinese, but I’m totally not biased at all :D

Edit:

Also, while we’re on the topic of Numerals, teach Chinese Numbers as well, its literally one syllable per character, much easier to pronounce and remember.

English has become my primary language, but I still often find myself counting in Chinese (Cantonese).

Lmao, was intended to be a “or” symbol since memory is fuzzy and forgot the exact age I had the fish.

But um… I am Asian, so the scale is quite different from the standard scale. You know… “100 on a test? pfff, where is your extra credits, son?”

(okay maybe I exaggerated a little, but this is common in Asian families. I have talked to fellow Chinese-American classmates, and this is a thing, high grades are expectations. But I’m a failure so my parents already expect me to have bad grades lol)

RIP that one fish I had when I was 10/11

Hey, it’s a The Good Place meme in the wild!

So why is South Vietnam so villified but South Korea isn’t? I’m so confused.

Why is western involvement in Korean war seemingly “good”, but western involvement in Vietnam War = “bad”? At least that’s what I hear from the American Liberals.

Are these both “good”? Both “bad”?

I never really understood it.
