  • It's like She but instead of using the tongue TIP, you use the tongue BLADE.Pinyin is dumb, Taiwan has another system called bopomofo that is much more accurate but uses alien symbols instead of Latin letters.

  • The Chinese created bureaucracy and it sure does show. It's not changing citizenship, not that I would want to be a PRC citizen anyway. But it is permanent residency, what Americans call a green card, even though they haven't been green for over a half century. Once in the Shanghai consulate while in line I watched a man come in and turn in his US green card. The State Department official was shocked. "You know how hard these are to get, right?" she said. He nodded, handed it over, and walked out without another word.That always stuck in my head.

  • At long last, I have assembled all of the extremely complex paperwork and Xi willing, will be submitting my immigration application soon.

  • Kids aren't going to drink raw eggs, you quack. Kids LIKE pizza and hot pockets. Give them beans and cornbread and they'll dump it right into the trash. Even when I was in school there were kids whose lunch was twoReese's peanut butter cups and a Coke.

  • As they say in Alabama, time is "relative" LOL!

    A horror story in four words: "barely audible fire alarm" CW: what you think it is.

    B 2313 proposes allowing cities in Washington State to establish publicly owned grocery stores to address food access gaps. Authorizes use of eminent domain to seize properties if a store closes.

  • Movies & TV @hexbear.net

    Mini documentary about the face of the man they hired to play Big Brother in the movie "Nineteen Eighty-Four" with John Hurt and Richard Burton. From a channel entirely devoted to 1984 lore.

    MrBeast was very nearly on the Titan submersible with Stockton Bridge when it imploded on its dive to the wreck of the Titanic

  • Oh, the Republicans have been trying to get rid of this Act forever . The maritime industry has long been a stronghold of union labor and good jobs. They want them replaced by cheap foreign labor yesterday. Internationally, ships are always crewed by people from poor countries, at sea there is no law and they're basically slaves. My mom loves going on cruises and she brought me on one, it was just cruel. I felt awful for these cooks and bartenders. The only non-BIPOC were the ship's officers and the entertainers. The improv comedian wanted a movie to riff on so I shouted "Forrest Gump!" which was taken up by the crowd, I thought it was an easy dunk for him. He stammered about Jenny for a while and run Forrest run and I talked to him after the show and he had never seen the movie. Loser. That movie had one of the longest theatrical runs this side of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Everybody saw it.

  • It's much clearer in Taiwan. When I was sitting in the departure lounge waiting to come back here from Taipei it was night and day. There were the muddy tones and slurred pronunciation!

    Bank of China cut off access to my account. China Construction Bank wouldn't let me transfer my own money to China Merchants Bank. China Merchants bank made a mistake in paperwork.

  • I seem to remember it was made in Malaysia, come to think of it. For some reason all the coffee in China was from Malaysia back then. Korean Malay Chinglish. Boy, that was a time. You couldn't get a good cup of coffee anywhere, and I mean anywhere.Still can't, honestly. It's all Americano.A diluted espresso isn't coffee.

  • If you zoom in there's a UPC code and manufacturer number with SKU. Who knows, it might still be made. Korean writing, photo taken in China long ago, I bet you an AI would know.

    God wills it, what can you do? Workers of the world, seize the beans of production!

  • Whatever that is, the CPC doesn't believe in it and hasn't for a long time. Mao was 70% right and 30% wrong. He was wrong a LOT. Eespecially Jiang Qing, who was a queen evil and member of the Gang of Four

  • Creators have to show their faces. Anything that is text and images is AI slop. It gets generated by the thousands every day on every subject and Youtube doesn't care because it makes money for them.

  • Genuine? I am an actual commie propagandist. I make real-live propaganda for card-carrying members of the communist party. Of my own free will. I don't even get paid! You really want to play this game?

  • This is the appeal to authority logical fallacy.

  • Graduate students are basically slaves. Underpaid and abused. Total bourgeois behavior.

    US Zionist Secretary of State Madeline Albright saying on national TV in 1996 that half a million dead Iraqi children was "worth it." How many in Iran?

    MAGA freaking out as they find out that the Rockbridge Network fooled them all.

    A chud re-invents class consciousness, poorly. This is why education is so important, they have no idea what class consciousness is or what it looks like when they see it.
