Ahhhhh, thank you for the insight. I kind of get it more now, I can understand several similar village dialects to my parents' ("Teochew") despite not speaking the "Hakka" or "Hokkien" dialects, which always confused me because I didn't actively speak either.

Fascinating. I wish that such similarities between dialects could be seen more and more of a wonderful handy thing that connects cultures in being able to communicate instead of being used in the name of xenophobia. All dialects should be held as equal, not just the simpler colonizer one that we've adapted into communicating internationally.

I'm East Asian so I didn't know any of that except that Urdu is the main language... really it's that similar to Hindi?? Does the Indian PM Modi's nationalism have to do with Pakistan much at all? Sorry if that's a stupid question btw I know Pakistan is different from India

absolutely bonkers.... the amount of xenophobia he received from his OWN country/students/faculty........ awful. My heart goes out to this poor kid who's definitely traumatized by this bullshit

What the hell........ this poor kid..... what is wrong with these kids????? What in the self-internalized colonization??????

I mean, I would call him a hypocritical dick who is clearly insecure, but not a psychopath...... poly relationships are not for everyone, esp if one has jealousy issues and rampant biphobia...... y'all need couples therapy stat if you're gonna both be there to commit to raising this baby together, or your child will have the same issues

LMAO Thomas Edison was a plagiarizing thief. This is only a good inspirational poster if you're a grifter.
