I liked SimCity 3000 but I had some dodgy pirated version my parents brought back on CD from South East Asia, and it wasn't cracked properly so aliens would always come and gently caress my poo poo up after 50 years

My wife bought a box of mooncakes because it said it had 8 egg yolks in it, so she thought there were 8 cakes inside. Nope, just one giant moon cake with 8 egg yolks in it.

Lotus seed paste mooncakes are good and if you disagree then you're wrong and I'm not sorry (but you should be).mikerock posted:Churchill was an imperialist rear end in a top hat, but come the gently caress on. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10428329 There was an article about how the Jews are partly at fault for their own persecution, bringing it on themselves for being different and remaining separate from Christian society, which Churchill took shopping around attempting to have published in 1937. The defence offered by his hagiographer is "Churchill didn't write it, it was his ghostwriter", to which the obvious response is "why did Churchill have a fascist for a ghostwriter?"

Fake Moon Cakes? Just when you think you have seen everything. Moon Cakes are nice to have once in a while. Hella energy dense food if you were going hiking. Never bite into one, cut it up into wedges.

GoutPatrol posted:Wow, Ron Paul defense before Ron Paul. The best defense would probably be "he didn't read it before shopping it around" but that's still pretty lol That being said, this is the China thread, so bringing up Churchill's fascist ghostwriter isn't really relevant unless it's an attempt to distract from the actual Chinese fascism that's happening right now that is often discussed itt

Mooncakes taste "good" but they drat well better considering how each bite contains your recommended daily value of fat, sugar, and calories. They're the deep fried twinkies of the orient.

The Washington Post has run China Watch every once in a while for years. It prominently says "a paid supplement from the People's Republic of China" at the top and while I usually skip it, the articles aren't blatant propaganda, just feel-good articles about pandas in the Beijing zoo or how the children's choir is on tour. Newspapers are in a dire state financially and I don't begrudge the Washington Post for taking the money. Kevin DuBrow fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Sep 22, 2020 |

But that is blatant propaganda though. Not all propaganda has to be lies, and not all propaganda refers to the fact that the Tungsten factory is exceeding government quotas, or that certain camps don't exist and if they did exist then they are actually good. This is "soft" propaganda designed so that people will have nice, good and fluffy feelings about the idea of "China". And in the hope that these nice soft fluffy feelings, say about a baby panda, and a cute story about a family in Beijing, will over-rule your rational mind when you hear about the latest bloke the CCP black-bagged for political dissent, or hear a story about anti-China protestst in HK etc.

China Watch is straight up propaganda just like BrigadierSensible said. They aren't some harmless PSA asking you to brush your teeth, wash your hands or wear a seatbelt. The fact they paid for those stories no different from an advertisement automatically qualifies. Imagine the US government paying commercially to advertise equivalent feel good stories, it would be bonkers*. Last I checked Hong Kong Government still hasn't gotten a company to do PR for them internationally. *Yes I am aware they have literal media mostly a hold overs from WW2 and Cold War that served as propaganda but has migrated somewhat.

Weka posted:Would you care to elaborate on this? yeah sorry I don't read this thread often. I'm a cis man and Taiwan was the first place outside the US's midwest I lived for an extended time, and although my experience in the US was that female coworkers often had trouble bringing up problems to male coworkers, met with responses like "are you sure? did you check this? Did you consider this" - questions that male coworkers usually didn't have to answer, and female leadership being discussed when the leader wasn't present, I didn't palpably notice how prevalent and obnoxious it is. American men give male coworkers a benefit of the doubt that female coworkers don't get, especially in male dominated fields. I think in Taiwan the pay gap is very small compared to America as well. I didn't notice this stuff so much until I moved back years later and it was a reverse culture shock to be back in that environment. And the gender norms being slightly different in Taiwan and then again in China just makes the reverse culture shock notable too, in day to day life not just the workplace. I think American's sexism problem also applies to prejudice against 'feminine' qualities in men which is different from homophobia and transphobia. I mean we have to have two different 0 calorie cokes because one is perceived as 'for women', yogurt or tea or even salad are things some American men won't order because it makes them uncomfortable to be seen eating girly food , soccer is a girly sport etc etc. Women also should take care not to be too manly, which I would say is true but less true in Taiwan. On the other hand there are common problems like women not being as prevalent in math, science medicine, a common problem between Taiwan and USA. I'm sure domestic abuse is a problem too. But overall very eye opening what Americans consider normal.

Is the US/Western pay gap a systematic problem with equality, or is it that male dominated trades pay a hell of a lot more than female ones due to training/danger/labour intensity? I've recently transitioned from teaching to general contracting (construction) and will on average make $300-1000 a day while (for example a hairdresser) will make a fraction of that. Honest question, not a snide hot take.
