• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Facebook" sounds like "非死不可" in Mandarin ... (which means something like: "no choice but to die")⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  「你有非死不可嗎」是無效自殺防治標語；「我沒有非死不可」是嫌犯請求減刑的說詞。

  我只有在2016年買的通訊紀錄簿中，看過這個詞，因此推斷，大家都用臉書或者是FB等稱呼，沒想到真的有人非死不可……

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's easier to rhyme in Mandarin than in English⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are way too much puns in Taiwan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's easier to rhyme in Mandarin than in English⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • (Standard) Mandarin: the Chinese “dialect” that most westerner learns.
  • Chinese: languages such as mandarin, min, yue, which are not necessary mutually comprehensible. For example, there are eight tones in zh-min-nan, compared to four in standard mandarin. The grammar, common words and idioms are also somewhat different, although sloppy translations are unifying the grammar of zh-min-nan and mandarin in Taiwan.
  • SC, TC: They both refer to Standard Mandarin in most contexts, but different script and words are used. Mostly mutually comprehensible disregarding political issues. However, these two terms can also refer to the script (simplified vs. traditional) themselves. Note that TC shouldn’t be mapped to zh-tw, since zh-tw and zh-hk are no less different that en-us and en-gb.

  Maybe it was renamed? It’s weird that I’ve handled CDs but not DVDs.

  DVD (digital video disc or digital versatile disc) is a digital optical disc data storage format.

  TIL: savoury yoghurt exists.

  to be fair, i shouldn’t be that surprised since we have savoury soy milk here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have licked both. Licking table salt is more intense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is meant to be taken literally. It seems that I’ve consumed way too much sugar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only seen slightly less refined (yellow) sugar being used at home, but white sugar isn’t any sweeter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is salt very sour? Very savory?

  second one.

  Which one is a better antonym for sweet?

  in Chinese it’s bitter (not enjoyable).

  What about an antonym for sugary?

  bland?

• Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The disadvantaged are more sensitive to biased language for good reasons.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The 族 feels really… idk it feels very insulting for some reason.

  確實，用「弱勢群體」會比較好聽，因為「群體」一詞還沒有遭受汙染。「族」字通常用來表示外加分類，^[來源請求]^所以複詞褒貶全依 [X] 決定，如「草苺族」一詞就十分刺耳。不過，通勤族、開車族、家族等詞就沒有負面意涵。

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The disadvantaged are more sensitive to biased language for good reasons.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  「弱勢族群對偏見敏感。」

  “for good reasons” is added to clarify intent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The disadvantaged are more sensitive to biased language for good reasons.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first interpretation. I’m not sure whether or not it is true.

• The disadvantaged are more sensitive to biased language for good reasons.
