If it wasnt for China, Westerners would also still scratch their asses with shells and stones.

So middle east gave them bidet and China gave them paper. They are so lucky

Is the company even 7 yrs old? Will they be here in another 7?

Microsoft gaming strategy does benefit gamers. Which counteracts the problem of losing a competitor.

Microsoft doesnt care about profits on single products much compared to the grand strategy they follow. For example AoE4 and all the aoe franchise doesnt really give a lot of profit Microsoft would care about, yet they keep investing and updating it bc they like it and like the strategic benefit.

Not caring as strictly about profit means you dont get as many greedy microtransactions and more balanced approaches. The game pass is also a really cheap deal if you play variety

Pulling out the racist card on language topics and being confronted on “I heard from a friend” is hilarious. I think at this point people can just read that your comments are wrong and are no longer easily fooled by misinformation, so it is fine now. I dont need you to admit being wrong. Which barely happens on reddit nor lemmy

Ah the classic “this wont work, you see bc USA has shown that and free market always wins”

Meanwhile the rest of the world have several different but similar blueprints showing how it works much much better. But americans must always go a different route and ignore as if nothing else exists.

I as many of my people know cantonese and mandarin while knowing latin and english, we have way more insight than your 2nd hand story which might not even be the fault of your friend if he only had few minutes to tell you about it or you simply not having the time to understand him.

It is important to not let this just go bc people blindly believe things on reddit and lemmy especially when it is such foreign topic. Peking was Peking bc it is cantonese transferred english, german and co. Thats a known fact

Sad for the kids.

If they had guns it would be over 40 deaths. This is important for all european and east asian nations to remember. Your gun policy works. Don’t allow mass school shootings and street shootings

Thats bc of cantonese not bc english randomly made mandarin sound like cantonese.

Cantonese and mandarin are so different in pronunciation and word usage you know when an english word is made to resemble a cantonese or a mandarin word.

Peking is so obviously not mandarin its not even close. Pe was never pronounced Bei. People just knew Peking was supposed to be Beijing in mandarin so some mandarin people skipped the middle man and just used their own language word despite something else being written on the paper

So a blind person doesnt live at all?

Dont you have other senses and organs? Dont you have a mind that anticipates a present even without other senses?

The post is a funny scientific fun fact about lightspeed but thats about it

There is no source bc it is wrong. East Asian countries for example oftentimes didnt have a crown like equivalent hat with same importance.

Chinese empires for example saw the robe as much more important. Usurpers would be indicated by having a emperor robe, not crown. And there are other symbols. All of them more important than the emperor hat

Peking is pronounced like its written bc its not mandarin beijing for northern capital but cantonese for northern capital.

The world used cantonese before mandarin for few reasons and depending on words. Cantonese was a much larger community overseas so they taught foreigners cantonese words. The other reason for some words is that cantonese is closer to the ancient chinese than mandarin, so some words when they are far back transferred to the west and middle east sound closer to cantonese
