Spergin Morlock posted:it kinda seems like they're moving toward strategic ambiguity where the prc isn't actually certain if the US will defend Taiwan or not lol Strategic ambiguity regarding Taiwan has been the intention of the US for a long time, and the reason a lot of people are freaking out about Biden's remarks is because he just casually threw it out the window in a senior moment because a child in the audience smiled at him or something But, in fairness, PRC "America watchers" actually follow our media and therefore understand that you really can't take something an American president says out loud as having an impact on foreign policy, so at the end of the day it's probably a wash (unlike American "china watchers" who half the time study Cantonese or something stupid like wade Giles romanization, if they study Chinese at all, and therefore really don't follow Chinese media or government statements at all)

indigi posted:I had a dream that I won a trip to Taiwan and while I was visiting the PLA invaded. they were all mounted on reindeer and capturing people in Santa sacks until they promised not to rebel anymore. when they got to me they made me go wait in the hotel til they were done. what does this mean It means you're getting your own nyt column. America needs more insights like this if it's to stand a chance against China

Best Friends posted:I used to make fun of the American army uniforms for how grey and blue they were, like nothing in nature. why did China, a smarter country, make their uniforms even bluer. and also bright white accenting the blue? all time bad combat uniforms imo. what’s going on. no more wars until we can figure out what exactly is going on with the uniforms Eminent DNS has issued a correction as of 05:58 on Jun 12, 2022 |

Actually I got seeds I didn't order around that time. It was pretty weird, but I assume it was from some website selling personal data and it getting weirdly mixed up with some company's ordering system or something... Just bizarre cascading errors rather than some nefarious scheme lol

Chamale posted:I mean, the Wikipedia article says "Xu was sued in 2019 for calling tai chi Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang a fraud." Chen won some gold medals forty years ago, and now runs training classes where he claims to have magical powers. Goddammit do not let the chuds hear that this was due to a kung fu slander case, we'll never hear the end of it

sonatinas posted:from a global trade perspective, I used to work in the intl soybean business and when those measures were raised in India it made US soybean more attractive for their Asian neighbors, even with ocean transportation rates. our volumes to Korea skyrocketed (we were already having solid business to Japan) and markets that we never considered started calling us. one notable was Myanmar. they never bought from the USA before so I had to educate them on how the export process works with quality since they were so used to Indian customs. when buying from India there is a ton of 3rd party testing and quality assurance since you’re buying from a ton of small farmers delivering their ag to a processor. maybe there was also an issue with just honest trade but I didn’t want to make assumptions. just a lot more red tape and documentation. Cspam posters actually working for Big Soy lol

Irony.or.Death posted:I wouldn't call the prose outright bad, it just had a very distinctive and extremely goofy quality that felt like it was communicating a lot about the author's personality and worldview much more directly than is typical in fiction. Little bit of a bummer that the only really interesting characters are dead by the end of the first book but I thought it was all worth the read anyway. I found Andy Weir's The Martian to be like that -- did anyone who read them both feel that way?
