[QUOTE=Matthew0505;46754117]People make fun of Visual Basic as a hacking thing but that Winsock form widget and focus of RAD makes it really good for quick 'n' dirty hacks. [editline]20th December 2014[/editline] One symbol per word writing systems in general are stupid because you're duplicating effort by having to learn each word twice instead of taking advantage of subvocalization.[/QUOTE] Chinese wouldn't work if it swapped to using pinyin for everything. Too many homophones. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_Den[/URL] Also afaik it also lets people bypass language barriers between different Chinese languages in text, which is a pretty nice advantage. Though I still prefer using alphabets
I don't like his videos, I don't care for the character he plays, but from what I've seen of him outside of his channel, Pewdiepie is a pretty cool guy. And I frankly don't have any problem with how he makes his videos. They're not for me, but clearly people enjoy them so why begrudge him for doing it.
[QUOTE=Matthew0505;46754828]Wait, so does written Chinese still use spoken Chinese grammar, and if homophones are that prevalent how do they tell the difference in conversation?[/QUOTE] I don't know that much about Chinese, so you might want to look for people that used to post in the Chinese chat thread. But I can tell you that words change their tones depending on how the word is used. There is also a bit of redundancy to help out, look up "Measure words" to see how that works out. Also another thing I forgot to mention about the characters, it's not exactly "every single word has its own character you have to memorize". A lot of words are just simple characters put together. Pork is pig meat, university is big learn, etc..
[QUOTE=fudge blood;46752384]Chinese sounds like an ugly language[/QUOTE] Cantonese or Mandarin it isn't really just "chinese"
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;46755113]Cantonese or Mandarin it isn't really just "chinese"[/QUOTE] okay let me explain better: I know the main language is Cantonese but both dialects sound ugly. So when I say the Chinese language is ugly, I mean those two.
[QUOTE=fudge blood;46755152]okay let me explain better:[B] I know the main language is Cantonese[/B] but both dialects sound ugly. So when I say the Chinese language is ugly, I mean those two.[/QUOTE] Mandarin. (For mainland. Places like hong kong use cantonese tho) Imo it's unfair to make that judgement unless you know the language. If you don't it just sounds like an incomprehensible mess that sounds weird. I thought German was very harsh sounding until I began learning it; it sounds pretty normal tbh. Also depends a lot on the speaker
Unpopular opinion: Japanese is fun to learn
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;46755216]Unpopular opinion: Japanese is fun to learn[/QUOTE] The Japanese fucked themselves over by adopting a cumbersome writing system. They should have done what the Koreans did and invented their own.
I liked the increased scale and detail the Cinematic Mods gave City 17 itself. I still wouldn't argue the other artistic choices weren't shit though.
[QUOTE=Deng;46755363]The Japanese fucked themselves over by adopting a cumbersome writing system. They should have done what the Koreans did and invented their own.[/QUOTE] To be fair though. Pretty much every natural language has weird shit used in it. Europeans' love of genders and irregularities for example. At least Japanese and Mandarin don't do that kind of shit very much. Even in korean, there are word conjugations that aren't irregular (afaik) but still quite complex.
The concept of wanting to die young is stupid and I don't see many real, legit reasons for it. And that's aside from the fact that nobody [I]really[/I] wants to die young, it's basically just a slightly more complicated, and more pretentious way of saying "YOLOOOOO"
DAAS should have sometype a improvement selection, where the artist of dA can sign up and ask what did they wrong and how to get better on drawing. That way, there will be less circlejerking and bullying and more actual "bad" art, and peolpe will be learn out of it too.
[QUOTE=Carlito;46753515]When Gucci or Game make something as good as Let's Get It, you can call Jeezy a fuccboi. The Game is just boring and Gucci is fucking crazy in a bad way.[/QUOTE] Lemonade is the GOAT trap song and Game has been consistently good since he started. also Gucci destroyed both of them in Definition and Truth
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;46756894]Lemonade is the GOAT trap song and Game has been consistently good since he started. also Gucci destroyed both of them in Definition and Truth[/QUOTE] Lemonade was only useful in creating the beat used so Tyler could do even better with Orange Juice using the same beat.
[QUOTE=Luxuria;46757153]Lemonade was only useful in creating the beat used so Tyler could do even better with Orange Juice using the same beat.[/QUOTE] Tyler killed it but I prefer Gucci's version. Honestly it's really hard to compare Tyler and Gucci since they are very different
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46757226]Yeah its called DAAS, but you can't fix it when the artist refuses to take criticism. Jesus, you need to let that thread go.[/QUOTE] Believe it or not, some peolpe [B]can[/B] take criticism, you wouldn't know that, because you never bother to ask the artists you guys keep making fun of behide there back. And no, I'm never going to let it go, DAAS made me a laughing stock on Facepuch, and everyone was a huge asshole to me.
[QUOTE=StarBot;46758114]everyone was a huge asshole to me.[/QUOTE] That's kinda Facepunch in general though.

I still think SOME memes are hilarious, not this dumb ayy lmao alien shit along with tons others that have no basis for being funny at all. I don't even like saying that goddamn meme word it's like worse than a swear. This shit still makes me laugh no matter what: [t]http://i.imgur.com/hsTOtg5.jpg[/t] [t]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qbRRFAs15ew/T7F8gtOQIEI/AAAAAAAAGfo/f1E1uxdTZDU/s1600/1335834288091.jpg[/t] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Image macros" - Craptasket))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46758362]I'm sorry if this starts an argument, but I think it's important to just not give a shit as you become an adult. If you care too much about little things, they'll eat you alive. Kind of like how a few of my friends are transgendered. They haven't gone through with a sex change yet each due to their own reasons whether it's a financial thing, a family thing, etc. But to hear people compare transgendered people to people who say they're "an alien who wants to swim in the purple water on planet Xenu" or something along those lines, it just comes off as fucking retarded to me. Gender identity is a real problem that has a solution. I think comparing transgendered people to people who refer to themselves as "deerkin" or an alien or something is just unfair.[/QUOTE] "deerkin" and that sort of bullshit are like little kids that want to grow up to be animals. It's nice that they're having fun, but it detracts from people with actual identity issues when they get tumblr-defensive about it.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;46758187]Throwing a glance at your posting history, I'd say it's more likely the fact that you post like a 12-year old.[/QUOTE] How do one post like a "12 year old"
[QUOTE=StarBot;46759165]How do one post like a "12 year old"[/QUOTE] Your grammar could use work, you've just misspelled people 2-3 times and you're clearly: 1. Fixated on this 2. Unaware of just what DAAS is about. Either way to stay on topic: I despise extra-chunky sauce. If I wanted diced tomatoes and onions I'd buy diced tomatoes and onions, I'm buying sauce because I want sauce.
extra chunky tomato sauce is so gross and I can't get past that weird, sweet tomato taste. Ugh.
I'm not a fan of Dark Souls II. My brother tried playing it to get me interested but all I did was watch Cubex55 GBC longplays. Although I did like that cat merchant.
[QUOTE=fudge blood;46759476]extra chunky tomato sauce is so gross and I can't get past that weird, sweet tomato taste. Ugh.[/QUOTE] I don't even like Ketchup that much because of that weird sweetness to it. That combined with french fries makes such a weird combination to me it's mind boggling to me that it's such a common thing.
I tend to say nothing about music because I'm a to each his own kinda guy, but I've been pretty critical of music pretty recently after hearing Lordes cover of "Everybody wants to rule the world" I can't get away from it when watching Irish TV because 2 adverts for national programming use it as a soundtrack, I've never muted something before for being so abhorrent to my ears, it's just so unpleasant to hear.

They're both great in their own ways.
Cherry pie is gross. :( [editline]21st December 2014[/editline] gooseberry pie master race

There's no reason why it should have over 8 million views compared to Tears For Fears' superior version (2 million).
