I don't care how much cancer I got eating in China, it was worth it.

I cannot find any good Sichuan food in Perth

That sucks. Gotta get cooking, it's not too hard.


I've tried! My least worst effort was Lasiji which is a favourite of mine. But it's just not the same... Maybe the lack of gutter oil

"It's all poo poo"

I followed the thread a lot and am well aware of the Haier stories, and early Rene Cheng (sp) stuff but it got too hard to follow. I'm disappointed I had to read the peanut brittle story for the first time. Disappointed and in awe.

FWIW the push to restart megathreads is a great idea

Agreed. That has got to be selective photography and a made up story to go with it. I'd love it to be true however.

It’s hosed how my emergency radar has been pegged since 9/11 and I can’t seem to feel one way or the other about this maybe or maybe-not doomsday.

Come and fight me you virus bitch.

I was actually thinking that this morning. At least once a week since 9/11 I have woke up and wondered if any godawful disasters have occured overnight, while I reach for my phone.

Inevitably I just see that it was just a huge earthquake or a virus outbreak and just go get some breakfast.

What is the best actual evidence that can be given to a tankie to show that whilst China isn't a bad country necessarily it's not all unicorn farts and mapo tofu

What kind of stuff specifically is he going on about?

tbh there's probably not much you can do, but if you're gonna do anything you have to figure out what and why he believes what he does. It's not often about what's true, like you know how batshits on the right argue ridiculous things they know on some level aren't true, but their goal is more to own the libs? It's like that with more misinterpretation of books they haven't read.

So much stuff. I don't know where to begin. For example I asked him if he thought that the WHO declaring a global emergency was just media bullshit, and his response was something along the line of "90% yes, and not just any media hype but weaponised media hype, sparking a whole new era of sinophobic"

I didn't even mention china

I mean wether or not it is true, why is it construed as an attacked against china?

Exactlly what I am chasing. Now I just need to wait for him to explain why NYtimes is bias against china or somesuch

Edit: With the very little you've told us I kind of suspect your friend is just really new to these ideas and 50/50 shot he comes out of it on his own. You gotta be a special kind of idiot to come to the other conclusion. And if that's the case I dont know if it's worth your time. Most leftists put him in the same camp as reactionaries and liberals, or maybe worse.

Sorry I don't want to be too specific about him. But he describes himself as an authoritarian and says reddit is far too liberal for him to post on. I asked him if he has been hooked hard by wumaos and he told me to go to r/thedonald because that is the sort of poo poo they say.

lushsux is an alt-right dickhead that is unwittingly hired by trendy homeowners and businesses to stencil memes on prime street art real estate. gently caress him and his forgettable unimaginative bullshit.

BECAUSE LUSHSUX

edit: he was probably paid to throw this up by some morone who didnt want the ears obstructing his weird solar powered security light thing

It doesnt actually matter because it is a funny meme and the business owner gets huge kudos for being urban

if he isn't respected by the local street-art community, what's stopping them from just painting over his poo poo? I get not liking him, but I don't understand how he is stealing real estate.

Because we live in a hell world where poo poo murals are protected if they have been purchased on the open market or some poo poo

Can China please stop punishing Australia because Scomo asked for a coronavirus enquiry?

Yes Australia sucks America's dick, and Scomo is an idiot. I am not sure what they hope to achieve with all these import rejections though.
