    Pausing the video at 2:38 so I can get the link and follow his career path :galaxy-brain:

    Please Xi I promise I will write papers I will infiltrate the CIA I promise I won't pussy out at the polygraph please give me a scholarship and forty thousand dollars this whole deal sounds fucking awesome.

    Also I know the difference between chess and xiang qi and even wei qi! I have more intelligence on China than the whole FBI!
