It diminishes the value of business class, to sit with your maid! Preposterous. What's next, having to pay them and give them time off?

On the subject of nose candy, B. Alexander of Simon Frasier U has this book, "The Globalization of Addiction" about addiction. He's the Rat Park guy, whose drat experiment sometimes replicates sometimes doesn't, about how rats given a social milleu will be able to avoid getting addicted to morphine but not caged rats Anyhow, most of the book is super lefty stuff about global capitalism and how it sucks, but there's a chapter about CHINA and how it got rid of opiate addiction between 1960-1980 He considers the punishments given and decides that can't be it, since addiction went back up after 1990 or so and the punishment pretty much remains "gg no re on life" He considers non-societal genetic factors, but that can't be it since it's just that period He considers the form of government and decides no, since Soviets are communist in broadly similar ways but had the greatest alcohol problem in all of history, and addictions are mostly all the same disease to him He considers that they were lying out of their loving teeth but that can't be it since some folks with reliable records (the opium growers in india and poo poo) record 100x lowerings of demand He considers propaganda and antiopium government campaigns and was like, "maybe it helped, but LOL nobody else's did" He decides that it's the stability in social status given from guaranteed lifetime employment, since that's a fundamental difference between the Chinese and Soviet systems, because you could get hella demoted in USSR Cool beans on that one, anyhow. I like the analysis of the "hmm they might be lying out of their loving teeth" curufinor fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jun 15, 2017 |

Maybe they should market it as making women fertile for longer (which is true if they skip break weeks) Iirc the break week was decided upon by male pharmacologists in the 1950s because "women wouldn't feel like women any more if they didn't have periods". There's no medical reason for 3 weeks on, 1 week off.

How I didn't expect my day to go when I woke up this morning: talking about the pill and periods. Btw I'm happy to stand corrected if anyone has a source. I read it in an academic paper but I can't remember if it was from 1957 or 2007

I am passing this place right now It is in a very white area and yeah most of them don't speak Cantonese but this is a really reall minor reaction, like I get this several times a day when I go out. Not something I'd think to make a video about.

Dude family planning and birth control is super easy to get and super cheap. Family planing back in the used to be forced IUD or IUD incentives. And the pill here is the generic version

Over what seems to be neighbors squabbling I mean within like the last month in this thread there was the guy who severly inhured his neighbour's toddler by throwing the poor kid over a 6 foot fence or something... because the neighbours were playing music a bit too loud. This should not be especially surprising to you. "I can't get laid so I'll go stab/blow up some preschoolers" certainly isn't everyone in the country but it ain't just one dude either.

Two guys get into a Mexican stand-off because one ran over the other's child and killed it. Neither one pulls the trigger. b. A granny starts shooting wildly into a crowd because they ran out of cracker samples at Walmart and she has to wait 23 seconds for them to open another box.

The PLA's gimmick is to make every squad carry a box of 48 grenades or some poo poo, I think that is the funnier image of an armed Chinese society so I am going to stick with it.

One of the original non-Chinese descriptions of a face culture, I think, was of the high-class American south, the kind of people who went duelling every so often so you would get a lot more hamilton-burr situations basically

The difference over 15 years of smoking in Tokyo is pretty amazing, from tobacco clouds everywhere you go, to patrols on the street fining people for smoking outside the tiny vestibule designated. Even eliminating it from a lot of eateries, not all though.
