  • So I recently learned there's was a Chinese emperor named "Cao Pi" which sounds like "Cow Pee", which made me wonder if there are English names that sound funny in other languages.

  • Ts is still found as an older spelling, but usually not for c.

    Tsingtao (beer) is Qingdao in Pinyin.

    Zao already exists and is a different sound to cao. {早|zǎo} and {草|cǎo}

  • elon musk only TRIED to go to epstein island. he was never invited or there. he only WANTED to abuse children there. he is completely innocent

  • No, but it's more surprising that he's not because he's a known sex pest and creep

  • Him and Jared Leto are the 2 celebrities who I think are definitely willing... no, yearning to go to the island but are too insufferable to be allowed.

    The Andrew Formerly Known As Prince was probably annoying, trying to impress people with an old timey racist joke he heard from his father involving a slur for Indians not uttered since the 1800's. Clinton, conversely, probably tried to impress people with photographs of him and famous black people he's met that he just carries in his wallet. Neither of them at their worst can compare to how annoying Musk and Leto are on a good day.

  • Foreigners flock to Chinese hospitals for 'medical tourism'

  • I know an Australian born Chinese who went to China for a procedure because the wait list was too long for the public option (which would have impacted her work/study for way too long), and the private option was so expensive for someone without private health insurance that she may as well just go to China for it and save money. If this is happening to Australians, who have universal healthcare*, then I can certainly imagine it happening to Yankees.

  • Oh, don’t poo-poo a nickel $2, Lisa. A nickel $2 will buy you a steak and kidney pie, a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel, with enough change left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the polo grounds.

  • Man, I just had a random thought, it'd really suck if you were a guy who just happened to also be named "Jeffery Epstein" and you became a pediatrician.

  • Comrade Semen Hitler of the Red Army, who died defending Sevastopol may be up there with Comrade Israel Epstein in terms of names that haven't aged well.

    Although Semen is usually Latinised as Semyon these days.

  • Capitalism is so corrupt that a man with zero intellect, negative charisma and fumbling opportunities handed to him on a silver platter can fail upwards into being the richest man on earth.

  • The 3 and Y are roughly $40k and are somewhat usable cars for that price range (if you exclude Chinese EVs), hence people buying them. The S and X are "luxury" and start at roughly 100k. Elon stans either don't have 100k, already owned one of these, or are aiming for a cybertruck.

  • Usual route, yes, but thanks to some diplomacy pioneered by Eric Adams, the route is now London Heathrow > Istanbul > NYC JFK > LAX > Shanghai

  • Tesla discontinues Model X and S vehicles as Elon Musk pivots to robotics

    Jump

  • I already wrote this on the other thread, but it's because people aren't buying the S and X. They were like 3% of Tesla sales last year. He kept them going for 10 years longer than he should have just so he could have Tesla models S, 3, X and Y.

  • Elon Musk says Tesla ending Models S and X production, converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots

    Jump

  • Of his car models S, 3, X, Y (haha get it? Sexy? Elon is so funny) and the Cybertruck, something like 95% of sales came from the sub $40k models (3 and Y). Turns out no-one wanted to buy his luxury priced cars with barely any luxury features at over double the price. That's even without Chinese EVs being in the picture. He's just bad at business, he's not delivering his more popular models on time while wasting production capacity and effort on models that don't sell because it spells a funny word.

  • No Child Left Behind, focus on sight reading (just skip words you don't recognise), standardised testing, extremely long periods without school aka having an entire summer off, malnutrition in schools all combined creates something uniquely American. All of those things exist in a vacuum to some extent elsewhere but America has all of them all at once.

    And that's not even including the bombardment of propaganda and lead.
