  • Hello, non-Americans, do you have any Chinese language classes in your education system?

  • Yeah, my main lesson I've learned here is to type the draft while high, but only press Send after I've come down 😅 I don't think it is now or will be in our lifetimes, BUT I do think that if a universal human language were possible, it would be more beneficial to base it on a Tonal system than an Atonal one (sorry Esperanto). But that is just my opinion, feel free to disagree, and thank you for your input 😁

  • Not gonna lie, I can understand the Mandarin since you are geographically neighborly, but the German is surprising. Was that just your high school?

  • Valid points, I appreciate that 🙏 Most of your question can be answered by the fact that I was high when I wrote the post and am just tired of using my filter in real life and I feel safe here on Lemmy.

    And honestly, my specific Elementary school was very... unique. Looked them up a few months ago and they're a few degrees of separation from Reformed Calvinists. Like, more than half of the faculty come from 2 small Evangelical universities in the middle of the Great Plains. They taught some usual stuff like math and spelling, but then there was also lots of time dedicated to studying the Bible, learned two different songs to memorize the order of the books, we had a "Bring your Priest to School Day," yeah it was just a liiiiiiitle off.

    I see your point in my (unintentional) divide into "christian/religios vs chinese" and nowadays I would never try to imply anything resembling that. Now that you mention it though, I do remember one day in 1st(?) grade where they had all the students come and listen to a sermon by a guest preacher (this was fairly common) and somehow the topic of 'Chinese water torture' came up? (I don't remember anything more specific than that, I was very young, but I think a connection was made that shouldn't have been)

    As for the paranoia (besides the above annecdote), that was also unintentional. I wish I understood more about ~non-American~ culture and as an avid lover of history, I know a lot of times influence is not merely who won which battle and was curious to see if anyone else had more tangible examples than just theories or video game-logic.

    Overall, the whole point of this was just to talk to somebody so thank you for that 🥰

  • Danke schön. This was basically the 'format' of answers I was expecting. I believe some language options existed earlier than this for my situation, but it was never a requirement until high school, and even then, a lot of students (around me/from my perspective) didn't care about it all that much

  • I didn't say Chinese has never been taught here. I say my experience 30+ years ago didn't offer any but that could have been for numerous reasons

  • As OP, I have no problem with your critiques. And I wasn't saying I think it will be like that at any point during OUR lifetimes. Like the post said, I was just curious because in my childhood (30 years ago), I knew more about the solar system than I did about China ¯(ツ)/¯

  • Never said they were perfect. And you're right, they were wrong in their beliefs about a sun god thirsting for blood. But me personally, I would rather be a warrior in their Flower Wars with at least a CHANCE to make my way in the world instead of the capitalist hellscape of the modern era where every path just leads to more suffering

  • America has always been a place where transactions matter more than people. At least, it has been that way ever since European discovery. Native Americans were nowhere near this inhumane

  • Don't get me wrong, they get points for the Coolness Factor, but am I the only one who thinks this is genuinely a terrible design for a mug? Like, I have a hard enough time getting the coffee rings out of my cylindrical mugs, I don't even want to imagine the finger cramps I'd get trying to clean this one (or worse, the mold that would certainly grow if I didn't deep clean it every time)
