It happens. buddy of mine learned the local dialect, but like, a 17 year old school girl one. 😂 SE Asia. He did correct it quickly.

Doesn’t always work. My cat would bring in rabbits and rats. Sometimes dead, many times still alive. Great at bringing them in. Then he’d stare at them while they scurried under a cabinet. One rat lived in our house for 6 months before it was caught. 6 mo’s! And we had two cats!

What have they invented in the last 20 years? They couldn’t figure out mRNA tech. Can’t do 3nm chips. Can’t build an OS anyone wants to use. They build copies. Everything they do is a copy, stolen, or both. Name ONE thing they innovated.

There certainly is a lot of lobbying going on, sure. But China has not really had any world changing scientific achievements. They publish a lot but it’s almost all useless.

He’s pointing out the absurdity of the lyrics bc Aldean is in fact, *not* from a small town. i.e. his song is entirely performative. And that his actual hometown still has a murder rate 9x greater than NY’s.
@BFryback
It’s true and it’s f’ing tragic. Esp worse in the suburbs that are car centric. At least in the city you can beg for $4 for a round trip train fare. But my city also needs better options. How can people get mad when the kids cause trouble? It’s what you do when facing 0 options
@BeijingDai
They don’t need to, because they won’t be cut off from the global supply chain like China. SK companies already produce jet parts and sell to Boeing and Airbus. Who buys Chinese jet parts? No one.

Widely accepted research shows groups consuming the same calories, expending the same physical effort, but the processed food group always comes out ahead in terms of weight gain, vs the min processed group. It is literally the food and how it’s made.

Because 1) they steal everything, never innovate. And 2) heavily subsidize industries like EV’s, solar panels, etc. Let us know when they sell jets made with >50% Chinese parts. They poached a Moderna researcher and still couldn’t figure out mRNA, had to license it.
This is the reality in CCP China. A Chinese man openly abused and physically assaulted his girlfriend in public, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
@BeijingDai
Well I mean there’s like >400 million cameras in China, tracking your every move + using facial recognition. Can’t do anything without CCP/skynet watching your every move ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

China is a decade behind in chip tech. The chip in the new huawei phone is not reflective of newfound prowess. Without ASML they are dead in the water.

We don’t employ millions of online censors to block politically sensitive words, if that’s what you mean. We can’t disappear political opponents w/o trial, either. But Xi certainly can. And does. 🤣

Really you have a 1st gen iPhone from 2008? Black & Decker is known junk. And iPhones are *assembled* in China, using chips made in the US, SK, and Taiwan.

It’s theorized they used BZ for the Moscow theater siege, but they wouldn’t disclose so doctors had no idea how to treat. BZ is the chemical used in the movie Jacob’s Ladder.

What happened to Qin Gang? Why was Bo Xilai imprisoned for life when everyone else is just as corrupt? What happened to Hu Jintao after the last congress? Why did Jack Ma disappear only to reappear after having his business dismantled? Why was Peng Shuai silenced?

When did they make amends for how they treated Koreans, or other Asian neighbors? Where is the formal apology? Or even any sense of remorse? Even the Germans are ashamed of what they did.

It’s Vincentian. People in LPK still got SA’d, robbed, or murked in the 90’s and early 00’s. It’s a target now, and it was a target then. BC everyone knows it’s money. Only diff is that it ends up on Twitter now. 20 years ago, it was the student paper, if it was reported at all

If you want a shot at putting your bag in the overhead, yes you do. Bc selfish assholes put their shit in sideways. Including their stupid shopping bags.

Was just there 1 hr ago. Smelly in places, so humid I got a hazardous weather alert. BUT—drops the temp of surrounding area, and eliminates traffic. My BiL and I (NYC, Chicago, respectively) were amazed. Why can’t we have nice things like this? Saw a visitor, too:

What, exactly, did Meng Hongwei do to deserve 13 years prison, that every other CCP member does daily? Why was Gui Minhai disappeared? This doesn’t happen in civilized countries.

Civilized and advanced? My brother in Christ, your women are treated like animals. In SA, women can’t marry w/o permission of a male guardian. Why are acid attacks so prevalent? Is this civilized? There are no world class unis—your scholars go to the west to do their best work.

Every liquor store in Sweden is government run. Open M-F, till 5pm. It’s not that big of a deal. But sure anything government run is tantamount to North Korea or Venezuela. Wait till you hear about socialized healthcare. Or dividend checks that Alaska sends to all residents.

My wife (then gf) flooded her entire apt building, which wrecked all mechanical systems in the bldg, and she was all, “oh no, where will I stay?” So she moved in w/ me. When the building was repaired, she waited for the right moment and asked, “… do you want me to move out?” 🫠

Pretty sure Detroit’s collapse had something to do with the auto industry. It’s also been steadily gentrifying. How does this fit in with your fantasy doomsday prediction? Gary failed bc of dying steel mills. What do you think rust belt means?

Oh, totally. 1993 (30 years ago) clocked 850 murders. We have yet to beat that. Loop population increased by 358% since 1990, bc new apartments. We also weren’t paying >$132 mil a year to Abu Dhabi to park on our own streets. Thank Daley for that one 👍🏼
@youwishmusic
@CWBChicago
What about in ‘93, under Daley. 930 murders in a single year. Did you feel sorry for Chicago, then, too? ‘92 had 940. Is this the good ole days that you wish we could go back to?
