7 days agoOf course not? If they gave you that impression then you would pry. As I said, it’s pretty universal at this point. No mind reading needed. The fact that you were trying to do exactly what they’re trying to avoid is hilarious to me.

This is a tier 4 city in China. Which is far down the development ladder and considered poor.
The vast majority of Chinese live in cities like this or better. Saying that there are still poor villages, well I give you this
Kensington Philadelphia is so drug infested people walk around like zombies. Does China have poor areas like that? Actually no, even the poorest villages aren’t that bad.
They refuse to offer criticism to you, they will criticize the CCP constantly amongst themselves. They’ve sadly learned right or wrong that westerners are always trying to make China look bad. It’s largely from western news like BBC. Just look up the phrase China, but at what cost. The most hilarious one I read was China is curing cancer fast, but at what cost.
7·8 months agoThe good news is the US government isn’t competent enough to actually enforce the tariffs. So your fishing stuff most likely won’t get much more expensive. They’ll just get labeled “made in the USA” to appease our narcissistic president. Good times.
2913·9 months agoOh god I hope so. Recruitment is already falling fast in the US. No one wants to be soldiers. Which good, USA needs to stop being a warmongering nation. Less soldiers equals less wars, it’s a simple numbers game. If you ALSO take away the paychecks of the few stupid enough to be loyal to this violent nation, well that’s it, we’re done.
*Edit: A literal starve the beast.
21·9 months agoI mean joking aside, that’s what this means yes. It’s a common negotiation tactic. It’s like the businessman who comes into a meeting saying he’s never had to sell so the price is going to be very high.
But yes, this also matches up with the joke that whatever Russia says, believe the opposite. Except in this particular case it’s literally part of the art of negotiations. Not the Trump book.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha. USA tried. It failed so hilariously bad that they’re now actively protesting against new rail. There’s this crazy thing, rail needs to be near places people actually want to go. But those places have NIMBY voters, so populated areas won’t get rail. Instead they go to empty parking garages near malls. And then shocker, no one rides. It’s so bad in Denver that they’re using them as a case study to prevent expansion in Utah.
Wow, this shows absolutely no understanding of how ERA works. Let’s pretend for a second that the light steel in a truck is enough to protect against the backfire of an ERA brick. It’s not, but let’s pretend. Even then, only the door would be protected, everything else that’s on glass, which all of it pretty much is would backfire into the truck cabin. It’s like sticking grenades all over your truck.
Well… if you’re in America I’d be cautious about adding anything. Unfortunately, American peanut butter is already heavily seasoned with sugar and salt which makes it a game of over powering the seasonings that are already in American peanut butter. But if you crush your own peanuts with a small amount of salt, as others have said do as the Asians do. Curry powder works great, cumin and as all Asians pretty much do, add some kind of hot sauce (if you can take spicy). But sadly, if you’re looking at a can of jiffy, you’re gonna need a lot of curry powder to overwhelm the salt and sugar content.
Lol, yes I use Tony’s. I will definitely try out the Kinder “The Blend” Since you seem to have a similar taste profile to me. Thanks!
Yup, that’s what the Chinese are saying when they say it’s dry. You gotta have seasoning. That 5 spice I was talking about, that’s actually different from place to place. Each one representing the flavors that the chef wanted. It’s actually the same in India. Curry powder is not a real thing. Each area and household has their own spice mix.
For me personally, while I agree with you that you should make your own, I tend to just use Cajun seasoning. Dunno, it’s cheap and readily available. But you keep doing you. Personal spice blends is absolutely the way to go.
Actually sort of. I mean I guess what you would call a soup. Though the Chinese would just consider that a sauce. The put that shit on everything. Well different sauces. Here’s a random picture of a Chinese school lunch.

You see how the veggies are glistening? They’re covered in a sauce made with cornstarch and broth. Even the fish has a layer of sauce on it.
So yeah, a sandwich would be pretty dry. But that’s not really what they’re talking about.
In Chinese food, there’s an insane amount of seasonings that basically go in everything. At a minimum they use something called 5 spice which is a mixture of you guessed it, 5 spices. So the dry they’re referring to is actually seasoning. So something like a subway sandwich with italian dressing, salt, pepper and oregano wouldn’t be dry in the way they’re using it. They’re really just referring to the sandwich being unseasoned. Also, here’s a tip, if you’re going to make a sandwich, season it. Even just adding salt and pepper will make it taste way better.
Lol, yes yes it’s always so peaceful when you prepare weapons and arms. Molotovs as simple as they are are still something you have to prep. If you’re prepping bombs, you’re not going there peacefully. You are the one promoting school children deaths by telling them to attack people with weapons.
Always so peaceful preparing molotov cocktails and throwing rocks at soldier’s heads.
It was terribly one-sided. Some bold spirits threw stones. Others had bottles full of petrol– Molotov cocktails–prepared. But the soldiers reacted quickly. They chased after anyone young, beat them with their rifle butts and kicked them with their heavy armed boots.
No, again you’ve shown their constant and repeating violent protests were not successful. Instead they had to have a peaceful one for change. As long as people like you don’t understand that. There will be bodies that keep piling up. Unless you can explain why “democracies” also have violent protests that end with bodies in bags. The violence is pointless, and people like you perpetuate it.
The Koreans were not slaughtered in 1987 and they transitioned peacefully. You don’t know what you are talking about you violent war monger.
And those protests were like the American protests didn’t get anything done. It wasn’t until 7 years later when they simply asked nicely. If anything, you’re proving violence doesn’t work and the best option is to literally simply ask nicely.
Thus, my point about the violent protest being unrelated. It did NOT cause the regime change. I’m not talking about what it’s about, I’m talking about what actually switches the government.
I never said nations don’t have problem. My list of violent massacres in USA proves that. I’m saying violent protests does not lead to regime change as often as a peaceful transition. Your Korean argument proves that as the violent protest did nothing, vs the peaceful one.
*Edit: To be clear, if we study history we find peaceful regime change far more likely than violent ones. BUT people like YOU keep creating violent situations that do not help the situation. If people like YOU stop being violent, maybe we could work towards actually beneficial transitions.
Nice try but you don’t get to argue that a protest over 7 years ago and is unrelated caused the peaceful transfer.
I mean you might as well argue that the blood of Americans were spilled for their freedoms in BLM, Kansas State Massacre, the Chicago fire. Oh wait, those protests massacres happened AFTER USA was a democracy. It’s almost like they’re not related to being a democracy or not and the June protests weren’t part of that massacre because it’s a 7 YEAR gap.
When you don’t know any history perhaps you should read first then comment.

As I said, S.Korea is just one example where peaceful protests brought democracy.
Probably that’s because that’s exactly what this is? They’re watching a parade having a beer. What did we expect?
