Settler-colonialism

Gaza has been categorized as the world’s largest concentration camp by holocaust experts already. So yes, they do have a concentration camp, it’s called the Gaza Strip.

Also because WeChat is definitively the best app on the internet for communicating with their Chinese friends and family both at home and abroad.

No, there really isn’t, considering even anonymous western polling has found the Chinese people support their government in numbers unheard of in the west. That’s just a cope bigots tell themselves to justify being anti-Chinese.

On the other hand, the majority of Israelis support the continuation of the ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and their and their governments conflation of Israel with Jewishness is indeed dangerous and causes more danger for Jewish persons the world around.

Not exactly bonds, but my Chinese stocks have outperformed my US stocks for months now. My BYD shares are up over 60% in less than a year. They seem to have stabilized around $100/share right now, but it’s still leagues ahead of where my US stocks are.

And if you’re allergic to MMR like me, just pray you can stay in an area where herd immunity keeps up.

Smear and ghosting are bad on VA in my experience. I had one around when Miles Morales first came out and it was so bad I thought my tv was broken, and Samsung agreed and sent a guy to replace the panel. The new panel did the same thing though, and at that point I just sold it and bought an OLED.

What the other dude said

I mean, every previous ES game has had the modloader as part of the launcher, allowing you to enable or disable mods as well as change their load order from there directly.

Rev Left did a great episode on On Contradiction that just fit rereleased in their best of series.

If you do the Duaksense Edge you get the nice locking USB connection too, which would reduce wear on the USB port compared to other controllers. It’s easily my most used controller.

Not to mention the US still hasn’t paid reparations for their genocide, and trump dismantled programs designed to clean up Vietnam era bombs and pollution that still kill people there, while China is partnering with them to build infrastructure. There’s still a lot of animosity over Chinas invasion though, they really should have sided with the Vietnamese over the Khmer Rouge, but they were trying to get closer to the US at that time, who also supported the Khmer Rouge.

Even then, they moved some of their iPhone operations to India, and they had to scale back plans because the Indian workforce doesn’t have the skills needed to perform the work, and getting a made in India iPhone is pretty much a marker of getting a lemon. Significantly lower quality control, significantly higher tolerance for defects.

If that happens, colleges might have to cut some of the massive administrative waste their bureaucracies have developed over the last few decades that are the majority of the reason for increased tuitions (outside of greed).

Oh who am I kidding, they’ll cut services for students and pay professors even less, bureaucrats will never willingly surrender power.

Sure, give me an example since you are the one who claimed it, and I’ll do the legwork for you on what it is today.

There’s differences in the languages even written, for example in mandarin thank you is 感谢/谢谢 whereas in Cantonese it’s 多謝 or 唔該 depending on context. Cantonese also typically uses traditional characters rather than simplified. That second character up there in 多謝 is 谢 but in traditional rather than simplified. I’d imagine most research papers are going to be in simplified Chinese with mandarin phrasing, but learning traditional characters and going to simplified might be easier than learning simplified and then going to traditional.

Those subway stations in the middle of nowhere that were being touted a while back now are surrounded by bustling cities. Planned infrastructure takes time to fill, but it works much better than suburban sprawl

I was about those Jolt Colas, but Bawls were a good fallback at the LAN cafe when the jolt sold out.

Mandarin is the most accessible and widely spoken, Cantonese is good if you want to spend a lot of time in the south. Good luck if you want to learn one of the hundreds of other dialects, maybe make a friend from one of the places and have them help you.

Changing the material conditions within a society is probably the safest way to lead to the development of consciousness within the masses. It’s not fast, but there’s a saying, if an egg is cracked from within, it becomes new life, if it cracks from without, it becomes a meal. I hope this helps the people progress towards a better more equitable society, but it may be a drop in the ocean, and it’ll take a lot more drops to raise the level of the sea.
