So just got some terrible loving news from my inlaws in China (been back for 2 weeks now).

About two years ago my mother in law got a German Shepherd mix puppy which she raised it for about 4 months. It was really cute and super friendly. Most people in the town knew it as she would take it on walks and it never barked at anyone and always wanted to lick people and play. She realized that she didn't have the time or space to take care of a full grown dog and gave it to a guy who was a real dog lover and wanted a guard dog. He soon realized that it was the most useless guard dog because it unconditionally loved everyone that approached, but he was a dog lover and didn't care.

Just a few minutes ago my wife was talked to her parents on Skype and found out that it's dead.

So the family comes home from the market (they were gone for about two hours) and open the gate to their yard and the dog is lying dead on the ground. There is frothy blood everywhere and it's obvious that it has been poisoned because it was bleeding from its mouth, nose ears and eyes. The owner is pretty sure that his neigbhour killed his dog because his neighbour really, really hates him (no why). My mother in law gave the dog to this guy because he loves dogs and is a really nice guy who nobody should dislike.

The owner was heartbroken and I guess he cried over the dog's body for a long time. Later he was talking with my mother in law and said that he will never own another dog again because he would not wish for it to happen to that dog as well, and never wants to feel that kind of senseless loss again.

furthermore, nuke china

yes i know this, friend, but its less the supercomputer running the telescope and more the supercomputer processing the data collected by said telescope

this of course assumes that

a) this dumb telescope is actually picking up any significant amount of data

Chinese hurt feelings will never not be funny.

http://www.whatsonweibo.com/another-apology-to-china-anger-displays-nationalism-on-chinese-social-media/

According to some commentators, the sensitivity over “hurt feelings” sometimes becomes problematic. Last July, Japanese vlogger Kinoshita Yuka, known for eating large quantities of food on camera, came under fire after she posted a video of herself eating 137 bananas. Chinese netizens wondered if Kinoshita was eating bananas that originated from the Philippines, and if the 137 bananas were an allusion to China’s 1.37 billion population, as a revenge in reference to the South China Sea verdict. The YouTube video soon triggered another war of words between Chinese and foreign netizens, as many Chinese netizens viewed the act as a deliberate insult aimed at China . One comment read: “At a sensitive time like this, you release this video of you eating 137 Philippine-grown bananas to insult the Chinese, are you dumb? Do you think the Chinese are easily bullied?”

http://www.dndjunkie.com/civilopedia/CIVILIZATION_CHINA.aspx

quote:

Throughout much of its history China has remained an insular and isolated civilization, largely ignoring - and ignored by - the rest of the world. This was not difficult, as for many centuries China long held a distinct technological and military edge over any and all external foes. And any threats it could not defeat militarily (such as the Mongols, who conquered China in 1271), it simply absorbed into its own dominant culture.

quote:

Emerging triumphant over the Nationalists shortly after World War II, the Communist government spent the subsequent fifty years consolidating power, modernizing infrastructure, and improving the lives and education of its vast population, a process which included a number of massive missteps, including the idiotic "Cultural Revolution" which did its best to destroy China's intellectuals. In the past 40 years China has emerged as a major world power, an economic behemoth which will soon dwarf all other economies including the once unstoppable United States.

China is not without its difficulties, however. Much of its energy is expended simply supporting its huge and growing population base. Pollution is becoming a major problem as more and more factories are built, and more and more automobiles are clogging the bigger cities. Tibet - which depending upon your point of view is either a captive nation or an integral part of China - remains an open wound and major political distraction for China. None of these are insurmountable, though, and China stands poised to dominate the 21st century.
