It’s the opposite of achieving nirvana. Instead of being at one with everything, it’s being at odds with everything.

Mongolian, just for preparation for when the Mongols rise again. It’s just a matter of time.

Someone (well, something) who doesn’t violate you because he can’t, not because he wouldn’t, is not a good example.

Like, Thomas Edison didn’t sell me out using his light bulb. Not because he was a good person, because he physically couldn’t. If he were alive today he absolutely would.

So America brained. “Oh they had a pre-existing condition, my sympathy insurance doesn’t cover that then.”

As a Chinese person it’s actually really refreshing to not be inundated with western propaganda. Here’s some examples that come to mind:

The US quietly admitting the “Spy Balloon” did no spying several months and millions of dollars later.

People are actually moving into “ghost cities” as it pre-emptively neutralized a housing crisis before it began

China’s social credit system is actually extremely benign and fragmented while aiming to target businesses and businessmen, tracking bankruptcies, scams and reneged deals and so on.

But you’ll get people too propagandized to accept truth even if, for example, all the sources you provide are from reliable Western media

Huh, wonder who that’s for

The AI wasting hours of processing power having an internal struggle session re: outdoor cats before simply replying with “:pigpoopballs” on a platform that doesn’t have that emoji

“You mess with Michael Bay and you mess with America. I want you guys out of my country by tomorrow morning.”

“But this is Japan!”

“Every country in the world belongs to America”

Brb, double clicking ‘Netscape Navigator’ to go on ‘Ask Jeeves’ to look up what this “PewDiePie” is

The bus and metro passes are literally transferrable because they’re just a token not tied to any ID. Also they accept cash, and you can buy passes at a kiosk.

I have personally even purchased a metro ticket for another person because we were going somewhere together and they left theirs at home. Within the last 2 weeks.

You have been lied to. There are no WMDs in Iraq, MSG isn’t toxic, and Napoleon wasn’t short either, if you just blatantly swallow everything you see.

I live in China. You put ¥2 into the slot and you get on. You can be wearing a fully balaclava, a face mask, or nothing. No-ones running ID on you to make sure your magical score is high enough before you are allowed to get on. You can get a transit token so you can tap on if you’re cashless. They’re sold without ID checks, foreigners can get them without speaking a word of Mandarin.

You have been lied to and now you’re repeating those lies on the internet without even getting paid.

I literally live in China. The scores apply to businessmen and not the average citizen. China isn’t North Sentinel Island, you can literally come here.

When they reference Xi negatively they use Palpatine or some literary villain as a comparison. Using a yellow bear beloved by most of the world seems counter productive. Imagine if people compared Hitler to Charlie Chaplain due to likeness and not, say, Satan.

Not if they’re foreign enough

I don’t trust the “benevolent superhero” trope because realistically, you may get some Batmen, you’d get twice as many Banes and then a statistically small but present number of Jokers. That’s not even accounting for a Freeze style situation where someone is committing crimes to fund a relatively justifiable cause and your Ivy’s who are doing a net positive for the world but the methods are technically illegal.

“stopantisemitism”

This group is so antisemitic they snubbed Norm Finkelstein. Surely the author(s) of this list should be on this list for such an antisemitic act.

Trump’s not even bad by republican standards, he’s just vulgar and baffoonish. Replace him with Jeb! or Ron DeSantis or your garden variety Republican and you’d get the same defunding, same deregulation and same enshittification as him, just more subtle.

Come back when he’s killed a million Iraqi civilians over fictional WMDs or getting several million people addicted then dead over opioids by deregulating prescription.

He didn’t commit war crimes in Vietnam, spill over to Laos and Cambodia. Come back when he pardons the perpetrators of My Lai. Come back when he interns Japanese and nukes civilians. Come back when he Manifests Destiny.

Top 5 my ass

Imagining a Star Wars style situation where she gets her apprentice to do the assassing but the apprentice hires a bounty hunter and the bounty hunter hires an assassin and the assassin uses a robot who uses some venomous bugs

Taiwan and Palestine flag

??? Have you met the average Taiwanese?

Israel came out on top, with 35.1 percent of respondents expressing sympathy; 14.8 percent sympathizing with Palestine; 9.8 percent sympathizing with neither; 6.8 percent sympathizing with both; and 33.6 percent expressing no opinion.

Both leading political parties are pro Israel, as have the last half dozen presidents.

Don’t get me started on the average Ukrainian.

69% of Ukrainians side with Israel, 1% with Palestine and 30% both or neither)
