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

  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 ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The disadvantaged are more sensitive to biased language for good reasons.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

  When the bad option is chosen, people making these options would often claim that the bad option is ‘good enough’ and stop improving, if not improving is more profitable to them.
