Do Chinese use periods and question marks?  :huh:

Question marks, commas, full-stops, yes.  The Chinese full-stop is a small circle rather than a dot.  The rules regarding what constitutes a "complete sentence" are far less straight in Chinese.  So a lot of times, the comma and full-stop are almost interchangeable, although one must end a paragraph with a full-stop.

That's simplified Chinese, BTW.  We use traditional Chinese in Hong Kong.  The Chinese in the letter above is also traditional Chinese.

Does anyone know of a flight search site like kayak, sky scanner, etc... That also let's you flexibility search for multi stop flights?
I am wondering whether that could be a cheaper way to do things than just fly somewhere then use low cost airlines to get around whilst there.
Also in considering the potential for sneaking a china visit in.

Again, drawing from my experience.  The two concussions we know my son received were both from legal, technically sound hits.  And in both collisions he was the one initiating the contact.

I respect that, but I also have my own experience to draw from.  Obviously if there's ever any sign of a concussion we'll get it taken care of and re-evaluate at that point.

@derspicy I'm not joining in parenting (considering I'm not one) but do you think you want him playing in a few years when the speed is faster and collisions more intense?

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.  He may not want to continue on by that point.  Hell, if his baseball obsession progresses he may end up playing in both spring and fall leagues.

He'd hate it.

Yeah I am pretty sure there are plenty of male feminists who do not get all neurotic each time they do something guys are supposed to like. He is just neurotic. Why he felt the need to publish an article like he had something profound to say is something else.

It's not what his cousin is doing, and he would get very bored with it.  Plus I suspect that just like with baseball season this year, once football season starts he'll catch the football bug and won't want to do anything but play football.

Again not really sure where he comes to that conclusion. Heterosexual men are not the only people who do not want their partner to cheat on them and the reasons are obvious. He even acknowledges why. Not everybody is capable of soulless meaningless sex. Anyway this has fuck all to do with feminism. Yet another article where 'Feminism means I can justify whatever as liberating' thing you see everywhere. 'Being a heroin-addicted prostitute is amazing because feminism!'
