The point is, simplified characters are easier to write, say, when they're leaving a note on the table before having to leave in seconds. Why are the cursive forms invented in the first place? Are they only artistic? They got their use

Think about it, what about all blue states secede from the red country while all the red counties secede from blue states? Or even blue neighborhoods can recede from red counties even? If you only allow the same color in a country, then wha

Nowadays, people talk about _possible_ discrimination like it's _real_ discrimination and want it be punished. This should not be right. Possible wrongdoing is not real wrongdoing, and you cannot have people punished for it, and should

You know, ordinary people may have massive cultural differences with pedophiles. Jokes aside, anything can be explained by massive cultural differences. Taking more wives, marrying underaged girls can be considered civilized so long as ther

I am not a US citizen and definitely not familiar with all its laws and rules and such. I do wonder, if one thinks endorsing Trump is punishable, shouldn't they bring up a legal case? If it is not against the law, why cannot it be done

Well, people's emotions may be fragile, the point is, should we tolerate or even encourage it? Shouldn't we try to evolve into a species with a stronger heart?

I'm not an American, and I am not very sure if my view is correct. But is the press really hostile to HRC?

Sex is natural, essential to the continuation of the species. You cannot say the same for killing humans. Butchering cattle, well, maybe that's necessary, but slaying a man or a woman definitely is not. People are advocating to ban dea

Well, if universities are doing so wrong, you would expect people coming out to fix the problem by competing with them, at least in a free market like the States. You may say they have, by setting up trade schools, whatever they are. If the

There's a tongue twister in Chinese with all characters pronounced "shi".[1][2] Hmm, I don't know Japanese grammar, but if those characters are Chinese ones, you can almost write something like that with these characters

Well, such jumps are not racist, while using nationality and religious beliefs to discriminate people is?

But, the Chinese companies have always used all kinds of IMs with group chat facilities to communicate. Many companies even developed their own IMs since as early as the 2000's.

I think being part of a discussion sometimes requires some basic knowledge of the basic. Otherwise, if you need every concept explained to you, well, it's not a discussion, but a lecture. After all, if I deem it common knowledge and yo

Hmm, it may not be very helpful, but there's a replicate function[1] right in the Prelude. I always thought that being clever in Haskell is to be able to find all the strange but powerful packages and functions and weave them in as tig

Hmm, characters are square and have fixed width. The fonts are automatically fixed width when printed or even handwritten (well enough). With pinyin, you know, like any other phonetic languages, even Japanese, you can hardly match line widt

Now, China is not in war, but, unluckily, as a Chinese, I have a lower living standard than a European, do I automatically get a chance to be let in Europe and enjoy whatever benefit the Europeans have? Since when has economics stopped work

If the timetables are to be changed every March and November, the calendar tool providers will make it easy for people to set up an automatic time slot change. The point is, for a lot of people (if not most of all), the timetables don'

China has only 1 timezone, which is based on a city on the east cost. In the west part of the country, the sun always comes up and goes down later than what we east coasters consider as normal. However, they got used to it anyway. Time zone

To be simple is wrong, what is needed is to be minimal and to the point. Most of the time, the minimal tool is simple enough, but sometimes complexity is a necessary evil. Driving a car is more complicated than running. Why do we invent car
