Secretary General of the Communist Party of China and President of the Peoples Republic of China
An ethnic Han, Xi Jinping was born into a wealthy family from Shaanxi province. His father, Xi Zhongxun, founder of the communist guerrilla in the north of the country, worked closely with Mao Zedong to establish the legendary Yenan base and start the Long March that would lead them to power in 1949. Considered a revolutionary hero, chief Communist Party (CPC) propaganda officer and vice premier, Xi Zhongxun was purged three times by Mao, reviled as a counterrevolutionary, and imprisoned in 1968. Rehabilitated by Deng Xiaoping (1979), he defended the reformist General Secretary Hu Yaobang and condemned the Events in Tiananmen (June 4, 1989).
In the midst of the convulsions of the Cultural Revolution, Xi Jinping was sent to work in the fields, in Shaanxi province (1969), in the framework of the vast movement for the re-education of urban youth imposed by the Maoists. A member of the Communist Youth League since 1971 and of the CCP since 1974, he became the head of his production team in the commune where he worked, until he was allowed to return to Beijing in 1975, at the age of twenty-two, proposed to a scholarship.
He studied chemical engineering at Tsinghua University, Beijing (1975-1979). The university authorities, perhaps to contribute to his political promotion, assure that he later followed some postgraduate courses (1998-2002) to study Marxist theory and ideological education at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, in which he obtained excellent marks . He also received high-level legal training.
From 1979 to 1982, Xi Jinping served his military service in the Central Military Commission, the CPC body for military affairs, and was secretary to Geng Biao, then Minister of Defense. Party official in Hebei province (1982-1985), in 1985 he assumed his first position in the communist organization: vice mayor of Xiamen, a rapidly developing port city in Fujian province, facing the Formosa Strait, where he was a member of the communist leadership (1993-1998) and governor (1999-2000). He attracted significant investment from Taiwan and began to gain popularity for his straightforward style, simplicity of dress, and travel on public buses.
Alternate member of the CPC Central Committee, elected at the XV Congress (September 1997), reached office five years later at the XVI Congress (October 2002), which saw the retirement of Jiang Zemin and the consecration in the power of President Hu Jintao. His successes earned him promotion to CPC secretary and governor (2003-2007) of the prosperous coastal province of Zhejiang (with nearly 50 million inhabitants and one of the most dynamic in the country), where he gained a reputation for having a strong hand against the corruption.
Following the dismissal of Chen Liangyu (September 2006), due to scandals related to pension funds, Xi Jinping was appointed in March 2007 as head of the party in Shanghai, the headquarters of the most important regional organization. Upon taking office from him as mayor of the great coastal metropolis, he promised to be "a good apprentice, a good public servant, and a good team manager."
His accelerated political career was completed when the National People's Assembly (Parliament) elected him vice president of the State Council (executive branch) of the republic on March 15, 2008, with very special responsibilities in the preparation of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Xi assumed the presidency of China on March 14, 2013, succeeding Hu Jintao, who is leaving his position in the Standing Committee and also the general secretary of the Party, the first step in the transition from the fourth generation of communist leaders to the fifth.
He is married to the soprano and popular music singer Peng Liyuan, more famous and than her husband before he reached the party leadership. They have a daughter named Xi Mingze, better known as Xiao Muzi. Peng, with a master's degree in popular music, holds the rank of general of the civilian forces of the People's Army and ambassador of China to UNICEF.

Socks and shoes
I went to the closet while my comrade was asleep, so I left the light off. I found my shoes and socks, but I must confess they were in no kind of order–just a jumbled pile of 6 shoes of three brands, and a heap of 24 socks, black and brown. How many shoes and socks did I have to take with me to be sure I had a pair of matching shoes and a pair of matching socks?
Like usual dm good boy :@Wmill the answer and have a good :soviet-heart: day.
Bit idea: conservative chud who believes there are more than two genders because they consider "alpha", "beta", "sigma" and ligma males to be different gender identities.
"Sir, the calipers say that you are a ligma male. This means that you are a shy but confident and agressive alpha brain wolf warrior ™".
:alex-supplements:
this has just made me realise the alpha beta males thing is just astrology for chud white guys
arm flex me? I'm a Delta male, means I'm known for running fast, and having a soft sensitive streak
Unironically sounds way cooler than any of the shit chuds make up

Go boomer about it and call or email admissions. Seriously, it's worked for me in situations I thought it was all computer automated.
yeah, my mom basically gave me the same advice, so that's what i'm trying to do rn
i've got the final exam which determines whether or not i get a masters in a few hours, and we've had literally no support or contact time this year. learning everything from pdfs. no irl lectures. i've lost everything :)
same here. i've been writing my master's thesis in complete isolation. literally zero days in a classroom. no libraries or anything. my only friends are archive and libgen.
anyway, best luck comrade. i'm sure you'll do fine <3
:meow-hug:
Same to you mate, i hope your admin is a bit more useful than ours and/or you can get in touch with the right people :Care-Comrade: . This year is a bust and none of use should be getting screwed by it

Happiness does not fall out of the blue and dreams will not come true by themselves. We need to be down-to-earth and work hard. We should uphold the idea that working hard is the most honorable, noblest, greatest and most beautiful virtue.

oh, I thought you just mentioned like mods and stuff so they can pinn it.
i have pinned people who have posted in the old megathread before, i just dont do it often
Nearly five months after his inauguration, Biden has not yet nominated a Democratic FCC commissioner to fill the empty fifth slot. Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel has been leading the commission as acting chairwoman, but she lacks the majority needed to do anything opposed by the FCC's two Republicans, such as reinstating net neutrality rules and reversing former Chairman Ajit Pai's deregulation of the broadband industry.
what a loser centrist pansy president

I think a lot of people on the left are going to be hit extremely hard once they realise materially just how much like fucking kings they live if we ever end this system of imperialist extraction. I live in actual poverty, and am STILL consuming a mass excess of goods that is completely ecologically unsustainable and deeply unequal
idk about this. living with some creature comforts but still struggling with basic necessities is not at all comparable to the reverse.
by any reasonable standards most people were and are much more comfortable in AES than western countries, with fewer consumer goods
My dog lunged at my partner tonight, so we're headed to the vet tomorrow to see what's going on. She's very aggressive, won't let me near her. Not good folks. Very sad right now
