Wiktionary says it’s Taiwanese Mandarin.

Yes, I read the article. “Resilience” and “simpleton” are not mutually exclusive terms.

As resilient as he was, it had nothing to do with the point that I was responding to. I was responding to why he possibly couldn’t have obtained Spanish citizenship sooner.

Fuck him. Seven kids? As if the world doesn’t have enough.

:rofl:

I actually have an uncle with 9 kids. He says he’s only making up for all the people who don’t have kids, so in the end it all balances out. :joy:

EDIT: To be fair, the man in the article is indigenous Taiwanese, and there aren’t very many left.

The man was identified as a 43-year-old Taoyuan resident surnamed Hsu (èš±). On the day of the incident, Hsu dressed in a Jingmei Girls High School’s summer uniform, featuring a yellow shirt, black pleated skirt, black shoes, and wearing a long haired wig, per CNA. He took a train to Taipei, transferred to a bus, got off at the high school, and sneaked into the campus from the school’s front gate.

Hsu appeared manly even though he was wearing female attire. He reportedly lingered around a restroom, but students reported him and then the teaching staff got in touch with the police.
