The joke about TVB shows is that if you watch HK drama, the characters always live in huuuuge apartments, that are probably 4x, 6x bigger than the actual HKer apartments.

do american dramas still do that with characters who live in new york or has it literally been twenty years since an american drama attempted to depict people who live in new york

its extremely funny that having waited who knows how long for something to happen that might result in the hong kong police committing brutality minneapolis is almost immediately set on fire and its just about impossible to imagine hong kong police doing anything that would look even half as bad as the american poo poo thats already on tv

^^ And the hot wife actress doesn't even have good chemistry with the fat husband actor/comedian.


I think the apartments in Seinfeld are pretty moderate in size. All the other sitcoms are terrible.

I can't think of any NY based drama.

I know someone did a hilarious article on the size of the NYC fictional apartment from Friends.

people around the world are recognizing, correctly, that those in charge don't give poo poo about peaceful protests



it's just unfortunate that HKers' legitimate concerns regarding CCP authoritarianism got mixed in with anti-mainlander xenophobia/five eyes worshipping and turned HK into a pawn in the new cold war

Legitimate concerns, like a rapists right to flee prosecution

think i saw some tweets somewhere of people just assuming that africas a hellhole right now because no way black people could figure out how social distancing works

the funny part is the only actual reporting ive seen that actually goes into how african countries have responded to covid19 is the china global television network which as far as i can tell is the only worldwide english network that does any reporting about any african news whatsoever

You are right, even Al Jazeera doesn't have an updated playlist for Africa.

If somebody knows an English news youtube channel for the African continent, let me know. The closest I know is BBC World News Africa Today podcast.

He got a stack of People's Daily to hand out? AND a hammer and sickle shirt! Good effort.

You know if a white guy is waving a California bear flag and a Chinese flag at the same time, it would speak strongly to me. But if its a Chinese flag along, I automatically treat it as a goon trolling.

this is correct, insofar as a) he did self-ban as resignation and b) he probably does still post because he is too much of a poster to stop
