https://twitter.com/GordianKnotRay/status/1668420211396194304?t=9SQdY7yisbWbekwnckhLOg&s=19 People always claim that getting "welcome to China" messages when entering parts of the South China Sea is a nefarious plot to exert control over this region, but the way I see it, a cell site just broadcasts in all directions, and if you fall in range of one, it isn't really intelligent enough to determine which side of the border you're on, right? Like, what is the experience of people who live right on national borders? Do they get cell roaming text messages by accident?

i guess that's technically true, but so would anybody else who comes from an actually functioning country e: i also like how the sacred liberal ideal of free speech apparently is negotiable when somebody uses it to promote an alternative political system not that this is anything new, but they're still telling on themselves real bad here Cerebral Bore has issued a correction as of 09:04 on Jun 13, 2023 |

Some chinese nerd in one of the gilded chateus of high france, "Our government derives its legitimacy from raising the standard of living and refining it's pursuit of the public good. You know, like a civilized country" Some french technocrat: *Angrily vomits up a list of wines and cheeses that are rapidly becoming unaffordable to the majority of frenchmen*

Ardennes posted:The ideal is about 2% inflation, enough to account for some growth in the economy and for enterprises to want to spent some money without too much of a price spiral. Or we could go to a hard money currency and get away from all this fiat nonsense. No more inflation. Personally I'd like to propose an action figure based economy. I'd like to buy these jeans please. Okay, that'll be two stuffed teddy bears and one stretch armstrong. Actually wait they're on sale today, so that's just one teddy bear and a stretch armstrong.

You'll bid ten GI Joes and an original 1980s Optimus Prime still in the box. I'll bid a very limited edition 1/6 scale sexually explicit anime catgirl statue in a schoolgirl outfit from an Japanese animation not fit for release in a western market. The crowd gasps and hushed whispers abound at my high stakes offer.

you know I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, but there’s a nearby community college with Chinese language courses that would be a comparatively cheap way to get person-person instruction

Exclusive: Pakistan paid in Chinese currency for discounted Russian oil - minister https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/pakistans-russian-crude-shipment-paid-chinese-currency-minister-2023-06-12/ I am trying to paraphrase the youtube commentaries in the language I understand and why it's important. * Pakistan helps Russian flip crube oil (to Europe) to get around the Western oil price cap sanction * Pakistan uses RMB loans to get around the IMF racket of loan for privatization for bankrupted staes. * Pakistan helps spending RMB in Islamic regions to push RMB globalization/dedollarlization * Pakistan helps facilitate circulation between RMB and Euro to get around Swift and create linkage between non-USD currencies. It will be a trail case for other global south/Brics states. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 15:12 on Jun 13, 2023 |

HiroProtagonist posted:yeah that's what i mean, sort of. years ago the lower east side would've been popping but after midnight everyone disappears now. part of this is a weird covid response. like Philly's last call is at 2am but after the first wave of lockdowns every bar restaurant and theater/venue/etc drastically reduced their hours and most never moved them back for some reason. there's still some bars that close at loving 11pm on the weekends. when I visit friends in Manhattan and Brooklyn, places we didn’t even get to until like 1:30 in 2019 (the ones that didn't shut down) are doing last call. America goes to bed early now because everyone has long covid

America goes to bed early now because everyone has long covid its understandable for fast food places and places there were super late night or 24 hours cutting down hours and never going back because it was probably only marginally profitable, but yeah bars closing early still is loving insane look this is america. its not like we close for lunch to respect workers. gimme my goddamn service! (nb i am msotly joking i was a bartender before but now i work in the only permanent 24/7 business, a casino)

Raskolnikov38 posted:are there any good programs/public access courses for learning mandarin? the SAL thread basically says “take it in university or move to China” which aren’t really feasible options in the foreseeable future I think the biggest obstacle to learning Mandarin in the US is knowing where to begin. edX.com always has free 100 lvl courses and above, including from Tsinghua and Peking Universities. https://www.edx.org/search?q=chinese&tab=course this one from Tsinghua U begins today and runs through August https://www.edx.org/course/tsinghua...dx.org%2Fsearch local Confucius Institutes will sometimes give free public courses over Zoom. I tried one just for something to do and it was solid (ed: try contacting your local Confucius Inst and asking them. even if they don't have free public courses, they will connect you to another university that does. I found the free CI course thru the CI that I was previously in) lessons move at lightning speed, so maybe get a workbook to practice character stroke order before going in. download Pleco app so you can write characters that you see in movie subtitles or articles. learn the radicals and what they represent so that it's easy to use a Chinese-English dictionary. new learners are always intimidated by tones, but once you begin to speak you will see that the tones present themselves naturally in speech. if you mispronounce a tone, you will know that it doesn't feel proper within the word progression of a sentence because the cadence will be thrown off textbooks come paired with workbooks, so it can get expensive. but once you get through lvl 1 & 2 you will have a strong foundation. I've studied books from different publishers and I thought the Integrated Chinese series from Cheng & Tsui was good Fleetwood has issued a correction as of 20:35 on Jun 13, 2023 |
