So besides the Baloch separatists, the other major separatist group in Pakistan are for Sindhi independence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindhudesh

It's pretty wacky because if both of those groups succeeded, it'd mean that Pakistan is reduced to what, mostly just the Punjab? Not that it's happening anytime soon.



Also lol at the flags of these movements

At the same time, Russian generals who have the courage to speak out honestly admit that NATO poses no immediate threat to Russia. NATO is a possible adversary, but an attack by NATO is not a first- or even second-order challenge. Russia, my country, faces greater threats. We will likely lose energy export revenues as a result of the global energy transition. Our attractiveness as a centre of culture, a scientific power and a zone of human development is diminishing. We are losing any semblance of cultural and ideological hegemony. We are likely to fall into heavy dependence on China. The conquest of Russia by NATO, by contrast, is the personal fear of Putin, who is afraid to share the fate of Colonel Gaddafi. He is afraid that he will not be able to crush any uprising at any cost. Russia’s interests are contrary to Putin’s interests. And so he acts in his own interests, strengthening NATO and pushing it closer to Russia’s borders – creating a noose around Russia’s neck that it is going to be very difficult to escape.

The slav must not fear the open air slave markets, they would only improve his lot in life.

no joke if/when I go back to america it'll be my first meal. I miss it soooooo bad. we have one in beijing but its not really the same.

that's true. living in china we are spoiled for food. the local restaurants and chains do tend to be really good compared to american crap. there's this 6 kuai (1$) per plate sushi conveyer belt place my wife and I used to go to every week called sushi express, that's actually pretty high quality. and I do actually enjoy kaoya, even though I can only eat it like once every two months. I'm not really a fan of lu zhu though lol, the texture is like drinking mucuous. my beijinger wife actually took me to a lu zhu place on our first date lol. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luzhu_huoshao)

that's definitely right that the quality of the regional cuisine here is good. I can go to basically any restaurant and expect it to be reasonably good and authentic.

all the international food is in sanlitun, which is too much of a pain in the rear end for me to go to/from. I can't believe the subway station there is only opening next year. oh well.

line 10 gets you there but you have to walk 10 minutes, which i've learned some people genuinely find to be a hardship

liangmaqiao, maizidian and guomao all have decent international options and then of course there's the russian district. city's even got a georgian place though i think it's moved locations

luzhu owns. any of the classic old beijing dishes are best eaten at a place that has a black stone plaque with gold characters over the door and dozens of awards from state and party bureaus on the walls

i don't know anything about the current protests, but ethno-religious conflict is obvs a major factor in general. mahinda rajapaksa is a pretty bad guy – he was president during the tamil genocide in the 2000s, and got back into power as prime minister a couple of years ago (his brother is president now).
