Hahahaha fucking incredible

I’ve been watching these videos this whole weekend and crying. My whole life I’ve been trying to tell westerners the truth about China and vice versa and it’s been so fruitless until now

Not sure if it counts as news but it looks like Marvel Snap was accidentally caught up in the TikTok ban and users can’t log in or play anymore 😂

Learn Chinese

Jk I think the translate option for comments is already being rolled out, I’ve seen some screenshots

Damn. I go to VPL all the time and know some staff there. Pretty disappointed by this

To be fair, there is nothing quite as funny as arguing with lib men. All condescension no comprehension

A++ New site tagline material

Shai-hulud provides all

Appreciate the comprehensive explanation. I always learn so much from your posts

Is it true that covid restrictions also ate up a bunch of local government budgets? Heard it from relatives

Right. It’s all contextual

Oh 100%. Fuck terf island

When we lived in the UK it was considered cruel not to let them outside. If I’m honest I still believe that a little bit because I’m biased towards cats, but now we live in Canada and I would never let them out in case they get eaten by a coyote or something. I think a lot of people don’t realise how much of the culture clash is caused by the lack of natural predators for cats in some countries (particularly in Europe)

But make sure you put sauce in it as well or it will all stick together

I’ve generally refused to download any Chinese apps for opsec reasons because I have family living and working there. Does anyone know anything about the data privacy of XHS? I’m not concerned about stuff I post on there but about access to the rest of my phone’s data.

VLC is truly irreplaceable. Its continued existence gives me hope for humanity

Link doesn’t work for me. But in Chinese culture allusions/references are used all the time, either openly or obliquely. The little red book isn’t seen as some sacred text among the general populace, but is something that was a cultural and social touchstone. Of course they wouldn’t invite trouble by saying it’s named after it, but such an obvious reference is very unlikely to be accidental. Revolutionary imagery and slogans are used all the time in commercial settings in China, often with a lightly humorous touch.

The app is absolutely named after Mao’s little red book lol. But it’s not supposed to be disrespectful, more of an endearing reference I think

Ping

It’s kind of a joke anyway when so many British companies have their hands tied by US sanctions and can’t do business with Chinese companies or universities, esp in the tech sector
