I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I have also never had "Orange Chicken". It is apparently an America-only Chinese food. Good luck to all those who enjoy it though, wherever in this wide world ye be from.

But the Australian-Chinese food that I love are Dim Sims. Fried or steamed, doesn't matter. Particularly good on a summers day at the beach with some chicken salt.

It is and its delicious, especially with noodles.

Absolutely amazing that they had a camera person at a random teenage tennis match at the exact time she was there! And after they caught massive poo poo for faking a letter she allegedly wrote! That's such a coincidence!

Hello citizens of earth and tennis. My name is Peng Shuai and I am doing well, thank you. I am not being coerced. I know that the Party wants what's best for me and Chinese tennis. Please do not be alarmed, I am well taken care of on this day November 21. :) This smiley indicates I am doing okay and just resting :)

'Tankie' is probabe now, because it upset the feelings of people who wanted to talk about how there's nothing wrong about a women making sexual assault allegations being black bagged by the security services.

MarcusSA posted:

The mental gymnastics are easy. They've picked a side, and they are convinced that anyone who hasn't picked their side has picked the 'other' side. That's why they get mad at accusations of bad faith posting, not because they aren't, but because they think they are playing a game where everyone is bad faith posting on behalf of their own side and that calling it out is cheating.

It's interesting because their response mirrors the problem of the China's response - because the system reflexively acts to shut down criticism of the CCP as quickly as possible it clearly shut down Peng's social media and started censoring direct and oblique mention of her before anyone stopped to think 'will this create a Streisand effect problem for us?' And then when it did they'd already committed to the usual tactic of making her disappear for a while, and now they're scrambling desperately because this global response isn't in the playbook and they're trying to find some way to stop the reputational bleeding.

I think there are parallels to the Russian state response to Chepiga and Mishkin getting identified as the Salisbury poisoners where they were forced to do a state interview where they had to pretend to be a gay bodybuilder couple on holiday together - ridiculous, but someone had to come up with an alibi for them in half an hour. It wouldn't be surprising to me if we end up at some point in the coming week with Peng doing a similarly awkward interview explaining that Everything Is Fine Really.

I think the mods are just probating any name calling stuff like that. A guy got probed for calling me a lib a couple days ago.

And it makes sense, like holy poo poo the only comment I'm gonna make on this tennis stuff is the conversation going on is super unproductive, it doesn't make it more productive when half the posters are screaming tankie over and over and the other half are screaming lib.

Yeah, this is definitely what's up, and its gotten loving nuts. You cannot talk about China stuff without people frothing at the mouth assuming you're just lying or brainwashed or something. So, if that's the assumption, poo poo where do you go from there?
