Ever since the “spy balloon” incident that I correctly called and through the parade the other day, my friends all know how goddamn correct I’ve been about China. But I will admit I’m kind of an ass about it so they don’t want to say I was right. Now I just play that one Chinese song around them when I talk about it (I don’t know what it’s called in English, it’s like a meme song kind of. That guy with the raspy voice that starts off “wo man shi”, idk)
I can't remember what it is called, but I sing this song all the time

The vaccine is making him play some form of MOBA. My boy used to play Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. When will the CCP's atrocities cease?

Rare vaccine L
I was sitting there trying to figure out if my Chinese had really gotten that bad. I'm the context of a moba, it makes perfect sense.
made me laugh out loud
141 unread texts is kind of wild. Someone is in a group chat they don’t like anymore lol.
I have 100s of unread texts because I do not need to read them. I got the information from the preview popup without unlocking my phone and clicking the message to fully open it. Half of them are 2fa text codes for banking and other things.
Someone hit me with a screenshot of almost 600 unread messages, I have never been more glad to not be in group texts
im like 7 months into learning chinese and i only know one of those words
how many more tiktoks do i need to watch before i understand comrades
The chorus of this song will teach you the most essential Mandarin phrases.

make sure you have Pleco or some method of doing handwriting lookup for characters you don't know
Pleco is a game changer for learning Chinese
I tried to translate it and got “the next road is being thrown”. Doesn’t sound right.
I’m just curious if it was something funny in the context.
They're talking about "Throwing a Lane" in a MOBA game like League of Legends or Dota
it's in the context of MOBA games where there is a top, mid, and bottom lane to attack/defend
So is it "I'm throwing the bottom lane" then? I wonder if Chinese can drop subjects like that...
as far as I can tell bottom lane is the subject, it's more like "bottom lane is throwing"
but in general yea from my experience you can drop the subject often when it's clear from context
Yeah
My teammate playing the bottom lane is doing so badly I think they are losing on purpose
You have to triple-translate with g*mer jargon
我看不懂了。
I don't understand what it's supposed to mean, I showed it to a native speaker and she didn't understand either. Your translation is accurate but it just doesn't make sense
They translated literally
下路 bottom road
正在 currently
投掷 throwing (the act of tossing something)
The inaccuracy is the word 'throwing' which here is a transitive verb without specifying what is being 'thrown' so it doesn't make sense.
It may be better to say 'throw' would be 要投降 (wants to forfeit)，要放弃 (wants to give up)
More accurate gamer lingo from my (non-native) understanding would be 下路故意被打倒 (inting) 'bot lane is intentionally getting KOd) 下路在送人头 (feeding) (bot lane is serving their head up (on a platter)). I only knew of guyibeidadao from the report function on Pkmn Unite lmao. I'm looking up how to say throwing in contexts other than feeding. Will edit comment if I can find a better translation
One dictionary suggests 放水 fang4shui3 (pour water on sth), so 他放水了 'he poured water on it/he threw' 他给放水了 also sounds okay to me. I'll ask a friend
Oh ok I didn't pick up on the moba terms
I asked the native speaker I know and she said 放水 is a better match for intentionally letting the other side win, I don't think there's a very good way to translate it though she was having trouble with the concept. Might have to ask a fluent 
I got the impression that 放水 was more of a friendly letting someone else win than feeding or trolling from how she was explaining it
League of Legends
o shit i actually knew two of these words
and good point, I will do that
Pleco lets you create a flashcard when you look something up, which is nice for later review
At least 3
sorry comrade i dont think i have the attention span for 3 whole tiktoks, do i look like some kind of nerd to you?
I'd ask what it is with commies all obsessing over particular languages, but, like, at least this makes more sense than the washed up old pro Soviet "Cold Warriors" who get mad when other Western commies don't speak Russian, so.
I'm not really obsessing over anything. I've got a casual interest in linguistics as a field and I want to study languages as a long-term hobby. I chose Chinese for my first secondary language for a couple reasons.
Understanding Chinese opens up a lot of stuff that isn't available to me in English. If I want to read Spanish-language news, or great Spanish-language works of literature, most likely I can find those professionally translated into English. But there's a lot of stuff in Chinese that simply no one is interested in translating.
I would like to visit China, and I would feel awkward going to someone else's country and not being able to communicate with them for at least basic tasks in their own language. I don't have to be an expert, but if I need to know where the bathroom is I don't want to have to pester people until one of them goes and gets their uncle who speaks English.
Chinese is known for being a particularly difficult language for English-speakers to learn. I figure that if I can learn it, then I can learn any language, which is a big confidence/motivation boost for my language-learning efforts moving forward.
Once I know enough Chinese to have proper conversations in it, I intend to start working on learning Spanish. Spanish specifically because it's the most practical secondary language for me to have. 9 times out of 10 when I'm going, "Damn, I wish we had somebody to hand who spoke [language]" that language was Spanish. (The other 1/10 is split halfway between Chinese and Korean)
After Spanish, I've got a long list of "tertiary interest" sort of languages I'd like to tackle someday, and those languages are from all over the globe.
