I want to say China is cool and good but as long as the Uyghur genocide continues and Xi concentrates power, it wont. Hope China becomes a better place for everyone.

Taiwan is extremely cool and good and I want to visit when all of this blows over.

I thought it was going to go with 'QCS is basically a golden example on the stark difference between 'On paper' and 'In practice''.

Or possibly 'A limited version of it worked in Scandinavia'.

i live 1.something miles from sfo these days and its been a weird experience watchin the chinese restaurants, of which there are 30ish, compete. i think i have mostly identified mainlander vs abc hk and taiwanese peeps by random amounts of christian iconography in abc peeps stuff

solid fujian food, harbin food, hubei food, henan food, 3 dimsum dealios, hk dealio w stupid disgusting borscht and macaroni and actually good hk food, ordinary canto guangdong food ofc, and one sichuan specialty dealio in an absolute dump of a location with sketchy newspaper thingies in front and inside the chef dude has won multiple world culinary awards for sichuan food lol

also the payday lender vanished overnight and got replaced by a place that seems to do a as-close-to-a-chinese-wealth-management-dealio-while-still-ostensibly-complying-w-us-law dealio with great production quality on storefront and no fuckin website, also offering sketchy trusts. i think the most outrageously chinese financial institution i have ever encountered outside of asia

I picked up an incredibly world-weary aiyaa somewhere along the way and now I can't stop it.

My first Chinese teacher was a Southerner who said 那个 with an accent just like the N-word and while I try not to say it, there are times when I'm speaking chinese and have to try and explain "NO NO NO it's not the N-word it just sounds ALMOST like the N-word but i swear I'm not racist it's just how you say umm in a lot of Chinese dialects. The fact I'm Japanese is not helping this conversation, is it?"

anyone who makes a deal about someone saying what sounds like the n-word when they're clearly speaking chinese is a nutter anyway, I think it's better to just not think about it

A Taiwanese owned plastic factory exploded 6km from my house and the local government says the side effects of breathing the air are vomiting and cancer. We had canceled all of our summer plans because of the ongoing covid outbreak and lack of vaccines in Southeast Asia, but we figured the risk of covid was actually lower in this case and now we're at the beach.

It's raining.

I live in a mostly Taiwan-owned minor city, which means that there is money everywhere, businesses are high-tech, and safety is apparently run on an absolute skeleton budget such that even mainland observers think it's foolishly unsafe. Take a moment to digest that.
I'm not sure how they operate in Taiwan, but Taiwanese companies on the mainland are p infamous, in a place where becoming so has a high bar.

I could always tell when another chemical plant had exploded because the government would come and give me poo poo about running my modest little chemical storage room that didn't catch fire even once.

Snow tastes like they bottled the water they used to clean out the tanks with. I'm sure you'd die of water toxemia before feeling the effects of the alleged alcohol in it.

Question: anyone have some good Chinese Lamb recipes? Preferably from the mandatory vocational school region of China. I've got chuar locked down, but am feeling more adventurous since I'm going to be butchering two. One is going to be done western style and my wife wants to do the other Chinese style, but has never attempted such a feat. It's the whole lamb (110lbs, dressed to approx 50lbs) so there are lots of options. I'd prefer your personal experiences rather than my first results from Google.

Thanks.

that had nothing to do with playing video games. also, besides artia they mostly didnt even play games. chinese vtubers (in and out of holo, Niji's Chinese branch VituaReal is still going very strong) skew way more in the random chat/singing/drawing side of vtubing over streaming games.

you do have to do a lot of ID verification to stream at all on Chinese platforms tho. They rarely even let foreigners do it these days.
