Civilizations when they're on the ascent to greatness are enlightened volcel.

When they reach their zenith and plateau, they become normie sexhavers.

When they are in their final decline, they are incels.

"government gives contracts to non-existent corporations to provide PPE that ends up just lining the pockets of cronies" is a pattern that keeps repeating across multiple other countries

we just discovered ours a little later than Trump and BoJo's sweetheart deals

quote:

The AP was unable to confirm or disprove Wu’s account independently, and she could not pinpoint the exact location of the black site. However, reporters have seen and heard corroborating evidence including stamps in her passport, a phone recording of a Chinese official asking her questions and text messages that she sent from jail to a pastor helping the couple.

Oh good! They can track her phone!

You know this will actually probably affect Chinese pro Dota pretty heavily, no one is going to play dota <18 since matches can take over an hour

I am hoping the Chinese underground gaming industry will throw their weight on ARM emulators. Current emulation state of PS2 on mobile phone is janky as gently caress. Maybe the need of playing non networked old games will greatly improve android emulation of PS2, older windows and Switch.

radio war nerd did an episode about xinjiang and the uyghurs with carl zha, he said that some uyghurs do indeed look different (i think he said some look turkish but i forget the exact word). but he also said lot of them just look like regular chinese people.

The "black site" was probably just some regular detention center in Dubai that had someone from the chinese mission come in and ask questions.

Lets be honest, you are loving 19 years old hopping around the world with your profession being "student", permanent resident of the US but a Chinese citizen AND bad mouthing the country you are going to catch their attention. And guess what, they probably wouldn't be wrong given how many filling those check marks ended up being in the state departments payroll

As far as I can tell "twitter" is like a social network for failed standup comedians and buzzfeed writers? Why is this guy's tweets half the posts ITT? Why are half the posts in the COVID thread tweets from some guy named "Nate Silver"? Who the gently caress are any of these people?
