No I don’t care that the Kanji ultimately means ‘5’. I don’t like it. It’s aesthetically displeasing with no logic. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] mholiv@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago* (2 children) It’s only aesthetically displeasing to you because you come from a western background. For someone used to say mandarin it is quite aesthetically pleasing. The final bottom stroke “closes” the set in a satisfying way that is consistent Chinese character stroke order. Some things are culturally relative. Aesthetics is one of those things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago I use n.

I do try to make the world a better place where I can, but I understand that I can’t get too invested in every attempt. In this case no sweat was involved. Just empathy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jobby@lemmy.today 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) TBH I actually have a lot of empathy but I also love going off half-cocked online. Probably as a release valve for my inner demons which don’t get exercised enough in daily life. I’m rarely actually serious (apart from my hatred of the disfunction-by-design of the RightWing) but it’s easy for that to get lost in translation. Poe’s law etc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mholiv@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I understand. In this case I would encourage you to exercise that empathy online. Is it worth making others feel worse in order to make yourself feel better? I hope you don’t feel so. The world is what we make it. Lemmy is new enough that we are now setting the tone. I want to push Lemmy away from the “leave of legends” style perma salty attitude as much as I can. I encourage others to build positive spaces too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jobby@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago Yeah I hear you. TBH I think it’s because Lemmy is so quiet, sometimes 100% of the time in some communities, that I frequently don’t care what sort of engagement I get as long as it’s something. Chasing the dopamine of social interaction I guess. I can’t promise to only foster empathy everywhere but I’ll do my best to be cool here. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago* (1 child) No logic…unless you use the language it’s written in. You’re only looking at it from your perspective and saying it’s ugly and makes no sense. Because the language, to you makes no sense because you haven’t learned it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] jobby@lemmy.today -11 points 2 years ago (2 children) … and they are wrong.

Just like English-speaking comedians can make jokes about driving on a parkway and parking in a driveway. Chinese comedians have surely made jokes about tally mark 5 vs the symbol for 5. permalink fedilink source parent [–] zagaberoo@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago It's the character for 'correct', which doesn't really explain much. Best I can figure it's just that it's a common character with five strokes in a satisfying right-down-right-down-right order. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago It's simply a 5 stroke character with orthogonal lines: 正 The reason why it's separate is just that this is the traditional drawing order to write that character. permalink fedilink source parent

TBH I think it’s because Lemmy is so quiet, sometimes 100% of the time in some communities, that I frequently don’t care what sort of engagement I get as long as it’s something. Chasing the dopamine of social interaction I guess. I can’t promise to only foster empathy everywhere but I’ll do my best to be cool here. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] jobby@lemmy.today 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Oh I’m just spouting off occasionally with hyperbole, rants and un-serious trolling. Don’t sweat it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mholiv@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I’m glad. :) And worry not. I do try to make the world a better place where I can, but I understand that I can’t get too invested in every attempt. In this case no sweat was involved. Just empathy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jobby@lemmy.today 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) TBH I actually have a lot of empathy but I also love going off half-cocked online. Probably as a release valve for my inner demons which don’t get exercised enough in daily life. I’m rarely actually serious (apart from my hatred of the disfunction-by-design of the RightWing) but it’s easy for that to get lost in translation. Poe’s law etc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mholiv@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I understand. In this case I would encourage you to exercise that empathy online. Is it worth making others feel worse in order to make yourself feel better? I hope you don’t feel so. The world is what we make it. Lemmy is new enough that we are now setting the tone. I want to push Lemmy away from the “leave of legends” style perma salty attitude as much as I can. I encourage others to build positive spaces too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jobby@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago Yeah I hear you.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago* (1 child) No logic…unless you use the language it’s written in. You’re only looking at it from your perspective and saying it’s ugly and makes no sense.

[–] pantyhosewimp@lemmynsfw.com 1 point 2 years ago There has to be inconsistent things like in all languages to give comedians material. Just like English-speaking comedians can make jokes about driving on a parkway and parking in a driveway. Chinese comedians have surely made jokes about tally mark 5 vs the symbol for 5. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] zagaberoo@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago It's the character for 'correct', which doesn't really explain much. Best I can figure it's just that it's a common character with five strokes in a satisfying right-down-right-down-right order. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago It's simply a 5 stroke character with orthogonal lines: 正 The reason why it's separate is just that this is the traditional drawing order to write that character. permalink fedilink source parent
