Don't care then. https://www.nknews.org/2021/10/super-mario-in-pyongyang-north-koreas-burgeoning-video-game-culture/ you can go to arcades and play the classics like a true connoisseur although some guy defected because he didn't want to deprive his gamer sons quote:His personal experience taught him about the power of entertainment and information tech to change lives. In London his two boys got used to video games and Facebook messaging and the internet, Thae knew he could never take them back to North Korea, so in August 2016 he took his wife and sons, and fled.

Antonymous posted:The presentation of "satellite imagery" and "leaked papers" as a major source of discovery in Xinjiang makes it seem like North Korea - a place where we can't get eyes on the ground (actually this is kinda a false framing of North Korea as well). Too foreign - inhuman. huge tourist destination and oklahoma don't belong in the same sentence.

The fake fun at the water park reminds me of the big effortpost in the libertarian thread about how a libertarian or even liberal mindset can't get their head around the government building an airport or a dam and it becoming a part of the economy, like it's a fake potemkin airport that thousands of people are pretending to use daily because it isn't a pure free market creation

CRAZY KNUCKLES FAN posted:Fun read, the allure of videogames is indeed powerful. imo the best communist video games story is the post about how there was a Cuban Brood War scene largely isolated from the world because their internet was so bad that only LAN play was feasible so they also had their own meta that was out of sync with everyone else though occasionally someone who traveled abroad would bring replays of Korean pros they would share for people to study the latest strategy. I’ll try to find it tomorrow

sonatinas posted:do you have some easily digestible links or articles about how his claims are false? I’m thinking of effortposting to my lib brained brother who has lived in Japan since 2006 and thought my criticism of the xinjiang reporting was “a weird take”. I was going to probably search this thread and pull things but you seem to have a knack of pulling stuff . gradenko actually quoted a big effort post here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3953960&pagenumber=2490&perpage=40#post519186807 also this guy has a million videos about xinjiang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcc9dVA66sU debunking xinjiang stuff is hard because there are so many stories out there that most people just have a general vibe. you have to first show that media have a long history of being wrong about this kind of poo poo (articles from 5+ years ago have a completely opposite viewpoint) and show them basically every story comes from 1) zenz (that grayzone report is good) 2) RFA/NED/CIA/etc or 3) ETIM affiliated groups (designated as terrorist groups by UN/US/EU since 9/11). then you gotta lay out an alternative explanation for what happened. i usually lay out these points:
only then does debunking specific stories seem to stick. here's a big impressive pdf from an international research group if they're an article head: https://pdfhost.io/edit?doc=c73e53d6-26a7-4157-ab98-5cb4432f1ef0 crepeface has issued a correction as of 10:03 on Aug 13, 2022 |

this allusion meant posted:last i checked normal piracy venues had it. anyway it’s not a particularly good movie about the korean war (no koreans) and is mainly about how the pva had grit and camaraderie and something to fight for unlike the americans who eat turkey and wish to return home for burger. mao anying being moved by the earnest self-criticism of the “dipshit dirtbag kid” chinese movie stock character is p good tho Pretty sure someone linked a youtube in this thread. It's kind of worth it for the US Navy entry scene alone, though fundamentally it's the same action schlock.

So they just rely on big rear end magnet to create zero friction? That's new right? The operating maglev train in SH airport relys on electricity right.

By my very limited contacts that I still have over there the discourse seems pretty bugshit. Genuinely wonder if the media is working everyone up to go to war over Taiwan. Or otherwise I only know rightwing loons, also quite possible.

Kinda late but I'd like to give a tremendous thanks to the goon who posted those debates regarding the Hungarian and polish unrest and how China discussed both topics with the USSR. I had no idea about the polish case and it really shows that the Hungarian movement wasn't just a spontaneous protest against bad governance.
