Who would win between India and China in a war for dwindling water supplies

The American people win! I think Blue Collar Factory Workers and White Collar Tech Bro's all would agree that this helps their job prospects.

China just is used to the consequences of blind leaps forward.

I wish America would come up with an epic like the three kingdoms. Imagine if we retold the revolutionary war but Washington used his powerful magic to lull the Hessians to sleep then leapt off his boat on the Delaware and slew a hundred men before they woke. Man I'd ancestor worship the gently caress out of that guy. The Marquis de Lafayette could single handedly delay the march of Cornwallis's soldiers before the siege of Yorktown

I think the American Civil War fits this better for a Three Kingdoms type story.

What is "English soccer"

Ages of false superiority combined with crippling insecurity and failure on the world stage.

Honestly that sounds like it fits China pretty well.

~ Chinese Tourists ~

The other day I went to visit my friend at the University of Washington... they literally drop off tour busses of Chinese tourists on this promenade which runs from the main campus to the light rail station and they walked around this area for like twenty minutes gawking and taking pictures / selfies of a flock of geese and random squirrels, after twenty minutes they all poured back into the busses and were off. They also were gawking at another friend who was visiting from Portland and is a 6'4 ish white dude and a couple of people took selfies with him.

Jesus man. I know. It's so hosed up to see people who are otherwise really smart you care about just... I don't even know. I guess fall victim to an ignorant as poo poo part of the culture, like you said. It's actually really torturous, and there's nothing you can say to change it. I think it's for the best you don't have to see what your friend is about to go through. Despite the fact you're a giant man whore I think you have a big heart and the upcoming few months would probably tear you apart.

As to the second part, before I met Chinese people I always thought Americans were the pickiest eaters in the world. Not anymore

Chinese people sound like the stereotypes in the ITT: We're Americans

There's also photos, but I am lazy now.

C1: "I have an idea."
C2: "What?"
C1: "You know how dama is legal in Washington?"
C2: "Where???"
C1: "Seattle state."
C2: "Oh, yeah?"
C1: "Lets grow dama and sell it and make tons of money. People are getting super rich."
C2: "But that's a lot of paperwork."
C1: "You're right. Let's just do it anyway and keep the profit."
C2: "Good idea!! It is legal, nobody will care."

The thing that amuses me is the Chinese went out to loving Gray's Harbor County to setup these grow-ops. The area is like ~90%~ rain redneck with most the rest being native Americans, so a bunch of Chinese going around setting up grow ops sounds hilariously unsubtle and no wonder they got caught.
