  • A few other people who heard about it. Most people will believe the only thing they hear, which is what the government tells them. Or if they don't believe it, they don't know the extent of skepticism in others and can't organize without fear of being turned in by a collaborator. So they have to put up with it.

    Sometimes people are able to protest things in China, but mostly at the local level. If the national government thinks they can solidify support by arresting a few unpopular local leaders, they'll do that from time to time if the popular outrage is strong enough.

  • I think OP is looking to change careers based on their post about not waiting to see if patients take medication and all the subsequent "How do you look for a new job" and "How do you deal with shitty coworkers" type posts.

  • I was going to make a facetious comment like, "Yes, comrade. There is no illicit drug use in China thanks to 100% effective policy and the people's commitment to their patriotic duty."

    Then I read the other comments and didn't want to look like just another shill for China. I count USA whataboutism as shilling since no one asked.

  • I would think marine mammals are also adapted to the level of salt in their diet. So not just food abundance but its salt content could be important.

    That said, I know orcas like to drink freshwater if they can get it. So salinity may not be required. Their adaptations are likely built around eliminating salt, and therefore may not be stressed at all by low salt food.

  • One reason could be that most of the audience doesn't want to watch them if it feels like what they're doing is artificial or inauthentic.

    Might be a terrible analogy, but since people cheat on video games, why don't they have an esports league where aimbots, wallhacks, speedhacks, etc are all allowed? It might be a novelty for 2 minutes, but most people wouldn't want to watch that. It isn't how the games were meant to be played. It's not that it's cheating anymore if the rules allow it. It's that it isn't a good showcase for talent because it becomes about who bought the best cheats.
