No stink lines. Are you even trying?

They have a specific name for the book "select quotations of Mao Zedong". They just don't use the term xiaohongshu. The meaning itself could be translated as "little red book" but the cultural idea behind the phrase of "little red book" doesn't exist in the same way.

This is what I gathered from conversation with them about it. I may have misunderstood them but they're not an apolitical person like many Chinese people and they still didn't understand in such a way. They'd definitely see that connection if it was one that existed I mean.

I remember 3 years ago when I first learned about this app having to explain to my Chinese friend why I laughed at it.

It's so far removed from the "little red book" it doesn't even register as a potential pun to Chinese people.

I love how you can just go print lies and have a massive audience.

Saw a clip of ol Neil coming along and saying that Mount Everest wasn't the highest point on Earth to a physicist because of the equatorial bulge and "sea level" not mattering to physicists.

Yeah sure just blatantly disregard the entire human perspective of the world and how we as people relate to it to say make up some dumb "gotcha haha" to sound smart.

So many people, him specifically, are incapable of framing things in a non dismissive way. It could have been an interesting point or piece of information about how how large the equatorial bulge is, but he'd rather come off as an insufferable nerd.

当- dāng 成为- chéng wéi

In case anyone wants to see the tones

This seems like a rational use of resources

If I remember correctly, this video was about discussing philosophical influenced that created "socialism with Chinese characteristics". The tang dynasty robes being indicative of earlier Chinese philosophy interacting with Marxism to create the current ideological positions in China.

Potentially 100 liters of capacity if the pilot weighs 100 kilos.

Which the computer systems would probably weigh a bit but I think that'd be marginal in comparison

How many drones make it statistically impossible?

The point about fleet maintenance wasn't really covered and "build more" doesn't seem as logically sound to me as you present it.

Edit: if we're upping capacity significantly wouldn't it also reason to increase the air fleet size of normal water tankers instead? I can't see how this is an improvement over such a vehicle. 10k things to go wrong and maintain.

Nah that's a chocodile which is a chocolate covered Twinkie

Art is dead. Irony is dead.

"Rich people rig a game to exploit the desperate poor who risk death and destitution for a miniscule chance at wealth in a blatant critique of capitalist Korea's hell scape"

Squid game themed slot machine which does the exact same shit

If I say I can beat her will I get the chance to play with a world class athlete? I've never played tennis.

Nah that's why we're cooking up a bird flu pandemic. Ever tried to infect Greenland in plague inc? Hard af.

interstellar technologies feels like stupid pr hype. We're nowhere near traveling "interstellar" distances. Words mean things goddamn.

seems on brand for fascists to throw frail old men into the meat grinder

I feel like the hammer and sickle is an obvious choice

Confessing isn't the path to getting over it. Confessing or talking to them about your feelings is just the path forward.

Good or bad it'll bring peace over time and take away that "could've been" feeling

Either way don't feel too down about it comrade. Life is a story and it's beautiful even when it's not what you had initially planned.

Ugh I feel this man.

I confessed to them right as they were starting a burgeoning relationship with someone else.

"If I had known sooner maybe I'd feel different"

Which maybe they just were trying to be nice but goddamn did that feel like a stab in the gut. Especially since it acknowledged the fact that we had/have really good chemistry.

Anyway, I've gotten over it now (mostly) and we still talk and hang out. Pursueing other romantic interests so your thoughts don't dwell on them can good for you I think.

I struggled for about a 2 weeks after really bad.

It just reflects the literal vampirism they do when they take blood plasma from the poors

A doormat yes, but something not intended for that purpose being used as one takes on a different character I think
