If a school bus full of children crashes an burns on the side of the road you don't turn the charred wreck into a monument. congrats you've just described most things i'm gonna melt down nobel prizes and medals of honor and your grandmothers wedding ring and sell it for 10c per ton to make into burner phones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Prince_of_Wales_(53) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Repulse_(1916) I'm not even a huge military buff/military fan but they're basically graves for highly decorated soldiers/highly decorated ships these people died protecting modern civilization and china too for that matter, the least they can do is not gently caress up our dead

Is it that derangement where you hate the US so much you eat up anti-western propaganda and spin everything to paint garbage dictatorships as good? That said, I'd never call myself a stalwart defender of a bunch of dudes that are mostly just kleptocrats with a thin veneer of Communism over them. barbecue at the folks posted:A really good read, but because of these threads I seriously lol'd at this: I think that China studies is one of the few remaining areas in the world where the rule of the boring white middle age man hasn't been broken; they're usually American or British and they have been there since the very start. They state trite obvious poo poo without a real understanding or analysis of the situation and get heaps of attention for it while real study gets buried. Like the part about civil society is a loving laugh because the repression has never been good since '89 because the whole loving point of the crackdown was the threat civil society represented to the rule of the CCP. This is such basic, elementary poo poo that I'm not surprised that he doesn't get that but who really cares. And I'd somewhat think that if you want to talk about religious repression you might choose the ongoing slaughter of the Uyghur rather than ~bulldozing churches~ (Which is especially loving funny when the real news is the growth of the underground churches and it's mostly been these illegal ones being bulldozed) This is something the majority of the Muslim world knows, but for some mysterious reason it's rarely mentioned, huh.

ElGroucho posted:"I, for one, don't care about anything" I didn't mean anything edgy like that. Eventually they'll rust to nothing, how long until they don't have any sentimental worth? I mean people used to bulldoze culturally important poo poo all the time because it has no meaning to them, this isn't much different. Uhg, yeah I see why my post was stupid. I'm stupid just put me on ignore. But gently caress the lunar rover, it'd be shitloads better with a lift kit and spinners.

I love it when fines are so low it's far cheaper to pay them then stop doing whatever the fine is trying to stop you from doing. With fines related to "things rich people do to make money" this is almost always the case the world over.

Haier posted:LOL. Goondolences on not being able to find a kawaii waifu and instead being stuck with a loonie bin. There are tests, but what you wrote really sounds like she had some mental issues. On top of that, those who have low-to-no self-esteem will usually do their best to control everything as much as possible because they fear that if the other person enjoys themselves in any other way they will see how wonderful life is, or another person is, and run away. It's all selfish, under the guise of "I care about you and want you with me always." It's a game of manipulation. Hopefully you have found better and really learned a lot from that. I think that's just jealousy? Of course you can find somebody better or get tired of someone. Especially in a place with like 20 trillion people. That's just sort of human (and some low self esteem),although going for a coke and having to phone in about it is a bit weird unles you live in the same flat in which case I'd be like "heading out, need anything" or at least say "be back soon". That's just how i do cause i'm cool and nice.

Her work schedule could vary greatly so I would never know when she would be home. So I would get home chill decide to go hit the coke macine, of course in the 10 minute window she would roll in and be "omg no one is here THE PHONE IS ON THE TABLE MY TURKISH EX HUSBAND HAS KIDNAPED HIM" Yeah my story makes it look like jealousy but my foolish mistake was too believe that if I didn't interact with anyone else then the green eye'd monster wouldn't appear. But it doesn't work that way, later on in life I saw it play out a few times in my friends relationships and marraiges when your partner decides they wanna pick a fight its gonna happen. 1) Bring home chillie beans instead of baked beans.... That's a Screaming match 2) Even thought I was with you when we picked out my wedding ring, I've decided 2 years later to just yell at you about how it wasn't what I REALLY wanted.....that's a screaming match 3) You just walked in the door and haven't even set your bag down, but I am gonna yell at you for not putting your lunch pack away....that one turned violent I remember on this very forum someone asked why people seem too lose their poo poo over minor things like the kids having a whole cookie instead of a half and one goon said it best "when your in a bad relationship very minor thing becomes a life or death fight, because in our heart you hope that fight will be the one that sets you free." One thing that really stood out was this woman was a licensed language instructor, so basically I had a free tutor to teach me the language....only she never did. Oh she would be there to lay down how poo poo I was at it, but got basically zero support. One and only time I told her "hey lets turn the tv off for awhile, come over here and review this with me." She basically refused to look at me and refused to answer any of my questions, played with sorting her sales receipts, (remember she was licensed and I had seen her teach to other students) and later when I gave up said a meek "sorry darlying" so like any good goon, I got clever I learned that I could make conversation while in the car the thus sneak a free Japanese lesson. Would work for about 15 minutes then she would realize what I was doing and just stop.

I was teaching English in South America for a while and I'd go out of my way to help friends out if they asked me. Maybe not marking their homework but talking about how to do better and conversation and poo poo. The above girlfriend/Stockholm instigator was just being selfish or something.

JacksAngryBiome posted:Was her job language instruction? The last thing you want to do when you get home is your job. It was a part of it, thought mostly translation of training materials for different company's factories in other parts of S E Asia. Like I said, I asked her to sit down and help me exactly once. I took the hint, and never asked that again. Then of course loss of face happened when my language skills stayed poo poo, and her "friends" & "colleagues" wondered why the boyfriend of such a wonderful and nice instructor sucked soo bad.......now she coulda explained what you just said. Instead she told them I was fat and lazy. The highlight of that little saga in the relationship was when I would be sitting on the floor at my "study table" like a child. She would be at her desk hammering away on the keyboard while watching AXN on the tv. I found the TV distracting so I would go just go to bed early with a book and review there, and gosh gee I made some improvement. She loving hated that I was leaving the room and would be passive aggressive about it. Edit: Outrail posted:What in the actual gently caress? I should just bold all of that.

South Sudan's former defense minister is currently having a go at the presidential position and has triggered tribal hatreds to gather an army so the country is currently a huge clusterfuck. We just don't hear that much about it because Syria is still the slightly bigger mess. Usually UN peacekeepers just turtle in their bases while poo poo like this is happening in Africa but that's not always 100% effective so I'm guessing they died when either side's coked out soldiers decided they wanted to shoot some foreigners.
