They could have chosen any picture of the statue. I'd like to think the intern who picked it knew what they were doing

They would rather increase their NATO budgets

Can't wait to see how he fumbles this one

I've seen the S tier fascists online quite a bit. And I've met quite a few of the D tier western boot kickers in real life. They are exclusively the kids of rich parents and who have studied abroad. They are insulated from the hardships of life and pretty much love the west because they have access to drugs and therefore "freedom". Also, being rich they see more opportunities to exploit and get richer in the west than in China.

The obvious answer is with a knife and fork

I managed to coax Gemini into giving me this

Does he have a set of crazy frog genitals?

I put my dad's name and a deceased friend of mine's name in the x-clacks-header of an exchange server I used to manage for a large company. I still have an account on that system and they are still there, even after migration to the cloud.

To put that in there and then ask how anyone could call the book racist is astonishing

I saw this absurd video from a content creator whose whole schtick was showing us plebs proper etiquette for the British aristocracy. In the video he shows us how to eat a banana with a knife and fork.

What is so pathetic about this video is that the guy is himself not a member of the aristocracy, and no matter how much he grovels and imitates, will never be one or be accepted by them. Also he's stupid enough to believe that anyone, even a member of the aristocracy, would eat an unpeeled banana with a knife and fork

That looks cool. The green skin slow trains I normally take are not for the faint of heart. If you like your personal space I do not recommend it.

Literally the stupidest thing I've ever read...

The man himself

 

I'm drinking beer I bought from a store, sitting at a restaurant table I didn't offer any food from, and some stranger just handed me a fist full of boiled peanuts.

Chengdu might be the most chill city I've visited so far.

 

I thought I was getting some orange soda or something, but colour me surprised when it turned out to be lethally sweet iron brew. Like the old stuff.

I'm so happy

 

It's all a bit hectic, but it's fun just chatting with people, swapping food and smoking cigs on the platforms when the train stops every now and then.

The idea of being on a train for two days is just so fricking cool

There's the odd things that, with the best will in the world, I'm having a trouble buying on the Chinese high street. What Chinese app (Amazon like) do I need to use to get something delivered to a hotel in China?

 

They have to be stopped

 

It comes in an sorts of varieties, from sweet, to fairly bland, but it's so much better than what I'm used to in the UK. Normally I'd never drink the stuff straight, but here it is a different thing altogether, and I'm actually picking it over beer some of the time.

It goes great with youtiao (油条), which is a sort of light fried batter stick that you dunk in a bowl of soy milk, sweetened to your taste.

Anyway, just thought I'd enlighten anyone who didn't already know.

 

There was some sort of anime themed dance off in the mall and the participants were all drawing on this massive fabric wall. Was very happy to see this.

The Chinese youth are alright.
