Plot twist.

There are types of Tenet watchers

One who doesn’t know what the fuck is happening.

And the other who doesn’t want to admit that they don’t know what the fuck is happening.

Then there’s Christopher Nolan laughing at us, because he made the movie as confusing as possible, because one upon a time, he witnessed someone committing the horrific sin of watching Interstellar on a 720p 4.5" Android Phone¹, so he decides to enact this revenge arc by making a movie in the 5th dimention that nobody but his 5d brain can understand.

¹Yes I did that 👀

Use Affirmative and Negative like a bunch of soldiers lolz

I don’t even know much actor names.

But I think the first foreign name that comes to mind was 奧斑馬 (Obama) I don’t think those are the correct characters of the transliterated name, but that’s how I thought heard the adults said it, I think it was like 2012, right on election year and my mom was talking to like a friend/acquaintance, and Obama was talked about. But the 馬 immediately made imagine like: does this person like horse or like come from a family that has horses, then I think later I learned about presidents in school and learned the English version of Obama and I was like: oh it sounds the same as the 奧斑馬 the adults talked about, its the same guy right?

But does Obama like horses tho? 🤔 (I was so silly as a kid lol)

Street names, there is one memorable one in Philly Chinatown called Race St or 禮士街 on the sign (it’s in both languages on the street sign near the Chinatown Area).

In Cantonese, 禮士 sounds too close to 瀨屎 (to shit yourself) lmfao I always tell my dad “hey it’s the 瀨屎 street” and laugh when I see that street sign, yes I’m that immature (I mean I was still a minor when I was first in the Philly Chinatown, you know, jokes like these was nornal)

As for Chinese first names, yes I joked about my parents names a lot, but unfortunately I can’t share those jokes since its personal info.

I don’t really have memories of names of classmates when I was in school in China, like who cares about classmates. None of the nameswere memorable or that I can make a joke out of.

As a teen, I noticed that Xi Jinping, the Xi in Mandarin sounds too close to 屎 in Cantonese so me and my brother would just call him 屎精評 in Cantonese which sounds almost the same as Xi Jinping in Mandarin. 屎 for shit and 精 is a character in 妖精 monster, and 評 is commentary, so Xi Jinping is a monster that shits itself while public speaking. xD

poster’s IP address

IP doesn’t do anything. I use Tor. Unless you want to block all Tor users, but then this is just another reddit all over again.

Tonal is like:

詩 史 試 時 市 是

(Poem, History, Try, Time, Market, Yes)

All use the same Jyutping: si

But different tones. From left to right is tones 1 2 3 4 5 6

And the thing is, I’m a native Cantonese speaker and I’m having trouble differentiating between tones 2 and 5 because its so similar… I always thought it was pronounced the same, but apparantly its supposed ti be slightly different, but my parents never corrected me so 🤷‍♂️

People can understand so that’s all it matters I guess…

Here’s a video example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b38H_ySiTd4

@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world can you even tell the difference between tone 2 and tone 5? Cuz its almost the same to me. Like I always heard my parent say 歷史 and 超市 with the same “si”

And Logographic is just Chinese characters and idk any other Logographic ones… Hieroglyphs?

Basically the writing is separate from sounds. You can’t just sound out your word and spell it approximately, I can speak Cantonese and Mandarin, but I can’t “spell out” the characters, because its basically like a picture. I know what a cat looks like, for example, but I can’t draw a cat myself (since I haven’t written with pen and paper for like 15 years).

I can type it tho by the sound, and I can recognize the characters, just not use pen and paper to recall how to write it.

Rofl 🤣

This is why I don’t use autocorrect

Fuck the alphabet

Use microdots

Hail Skynet

Nah, USA will team up with Russia

The rest of NATO will be on one team

As for China… probably just take taiwan and ignore the other theaters

I doubt they’ll let me stay long term outside of the visa free X number of days

Not enough proof

What country doesn’t do fingerprinting? The entire world seems about the same in terms of surveillance.

There’s a rule where if you post the wrong information on purpose, someone is gonna correct you more often than just asking a question. It’s called Poe’s Law.

Tribunal of Six

Sounds too legitimate.

More like the Junta of Six

I’m not sure about country alliances, but I do know that both the US and PRC will declare me as an enemy and “traitor”.

I’m gonna go through what Japanese Americans experienced during WW2

Yes, US Supreme court says the president can order Seal teams to do stuff (if you know what I mean 😏)

Just hope the next president has a spine

Damn, if I choose option 1, I’m gonna have to apply for the CIA.

Version 1 is too “irl” lol

Version 2 sounds like just a shitty videogame mechanic that the devs are gonna nerf in the next update becuase people complaining about it being “Too OP”
