Fojar38 posted:The most compelling socialist arguments I see from a political philosophy standpoint is that socialism is supposed to be an evolution of liberal capitalism rather than strictly a replacement in the vein that you had feudal monarchy>liberal capitalism>social democracy. each of them builds organically on the previous system and attempts to force change quickly usually (though not always) ended up being a clusterfuck I completely agree with all of that. Marxist-Leninism is an answer to the question "how can we force socialism into existence in underdeveloped societies that can't support it and don't want it" and the answer is basically "just kill/imprison/beat up the people who oppose you". Anyway I'm terribly sorry for triggering this derail. How about that China, huh? Sure is a weird place.

Pirate Radar posted:There’s a goon here in Taiwan who swears by the Taiwanese Boilermaker, i.e. dropping a shot of Kinmen 58 baijiu into a pint of Taiwan Beer, which I can take or leave. Like with most “drop x into y” ideas I’d usually rather just take the shot and then drink the beer. Somaek is better than soju or Korean beer separately. You are wrong. I have also had a lot of baijiu because my GF is Chinese and I am the white man she brings to her family's Chinese potluck parties. I have had to drink way too much baijiu and the last time, out of nowhere, got me shitfaced. I could live without the stuff. The hosts and attendants are generally impressed with how much I can drink, so I think I am an honorary Beijinger now.

I've been out of China for five months and I felt so drat good. I'm back now for a short visit to take care of some loose ends. When I arrived I felt that maybe China isn't so bad, and that I was just going through some personal bullshit which made me hate living in China. Well, I've been here for a week, and I already hate being here, can't wait to get the hell out again. Such a hateful place. Also, I'm so full schadenfreude towards ZTE, it's so hilarious how much they are whining "whaaaa! we broke the law and how we have to deal with the consequences!! It's so unfair!! whaaa!"

My parents are technically boomers despite being in their mid 50s. This is the problem with using generational theory to paint broad strokes as the difference between a 70 year old and a 50 year old is quite a lot. I was born in 1989 and am compared with kids born when i was in highschool who seem completely alien to me.

Boomers make sense in terms of the hug population "boom" after WWII which was a really loving long time ago. It draws a line regarding the prewar economic boom american enjoyed. Though using it as a current label should stop, since they are all very old. As soon as the that graph stoppepd peaking should be the cut off Same with how i am suppose to be a mellenial or a loving gen X/Y/Z

The most important thing to know about baby boomers is how tough they had it when they started working, and how amazing they were at bootstrapping themselves. "You started teaching making $35,000 and you're saying things are tough? I started teaching in 1970, and I made $13,000 a year!" <pulls out phone> "According to this inflation calculator, that would be $85,500 in today's dollars."

My dad has more than one story about unloading trains for money and getting paid in beer and horsemeat sandwiches, but if you're gonna dodge the draft and start a weed farm, that's a pretty good way to keep yourself fed.

Saw this on my news feed this morning, thought it was pretty cutehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-23/sexist-job-ads-show-discrimination-rife-at-china-s-tech-giants posted:Workplace discrimination in China often begins with help-wanted ads. LOL at the idea of professionally produced and edited ultra-sexist ads for these industry giants somehow slipping through the cracks, for years on end, until a foreign organization helpfully pointed them out.

Well a whole lake showed up without anyone noticing so it seems like they have the technology to terraform with little effort.
