games are good, actually

you ever just feel so fucking ashamed to be an american

ALSO THE YOUNGSTERS IN HANFUS???? IT’S GIVING YEAR ROUND RENAISSANCE FAIR

bro i keep stumbling on restaurant chains that predate the founding of the country i live in.

also i grossly underestimated how many of our historic sites england and france burned down and now i understand like 90% of china’s foreign policy now i think

i think the americas are so inefficient because the average store doesn’t have to service 10,000 customers a day but also yeah walgreens shat the bed on this one and it’s hitting their sales

please this thread is so funny to me, keep it up

obvious pitfalls aside, the devs who built this demo are vastly overestimating how much players like to read even immediately relevant dialogue. narrative designers minimize text to just the necessary parts so that the players don’t just skip all of the story.

i think that’s a sign that you should take care of yourself and say no to the next five organizers who ask you for something

imo this is one of the reasons im taking a step back from Doing Stuff. i still believe Doing Stuff is vital to our collective survival but i also am more aware that transmasc people Doing Stuff exerts a heavier cost than most. so i think of stepping back as necessary for my Debuff.

y’all we need sushi tacos in the americas. is california on top of this??? CHOP CHOP

boston housing market sounds scary 😭

this is extremely sad and i understand why the plug was pulled but the assets situation also makes me think about how much we are losing institutionally from the past several years of studio closures

can you bring a union back

entered my blonde asian era again 🙂‍↕️ guys i am so back

nyc buses should be so fast and reliable that people making 200k choose to take them. expand bus lanes everywhere!!! TOW CARS THAT PARK IN BUS LANES.

chinese trains are rightly gassed up but the beijing bus coverage is amazing too. a bus stop for every intersection and a bus comes every 5 minutes. if you miss one it’s genuinely nbd and you won’t be late. i keep arriving early bc i underestimated how reliable buses were.

3.8 noodle spot run by a lone elderly woman: the noodles are handmade and chewy

4.7 restaurant: the flavors are all off because the restaurant bribed customers with free food in exchange for good reviews

everyone i need you to know about the existence of salted yolk covered pumpkin fries

getting the same kind of schadenfreude as the time mark zuckerberg offered to cage fight elon musk

being able to read chinese is kind of cursed because JEEZ the dining reviews are BRUTAL

looking up restaurant reviews in east asia is so funny. like a 3.8/5 is “this place is amazing and you must eat there”

HE WAS FINED $150 FOR SHOOTING AND KILLING THE COUSIN OF PUYI???? dammmmnnnnn the qing fell far

amazing things are happening in my mentions

i’m really starting to appreciate the complexity of chinese-english translation. i bought 4 english books that were originally written in chinese and the cashier stared at my receipt for 5 minutes and told me she thought the total cost must have been an error 😂

What were the Chinese Communists like, anyway* In what way did they resemble, m what way were they unlike. Communists or Socialists elsewhere* The tourist asked if they wore long beards, made noises with their soup, and carried home-made bombs in their brief-cases The seriousminded wanted to know whether they were “genuine” Marxists Did they read Capital and the works of Lenin* Had they a thoroughly Socialist economic programme* Were they Stalimtes or Trotskyites* Or neither* Was their movement really an organic part of the World Revolution* Were they true internationalists* “Mere tools of Moscow,” or primarily nationalists struggling for an independent China*

reading about the western leftist response to the ccp pre-1938 is so funny. they’re fighting a guerrilla war in a media blackout and the “serious-minded” want to know if they’re “real internationalists” who have read capital. socialists never change fr

riley you’re scaring me, are you CERTAIN you don’t remember falling on that knee repeatedly

really annoyed that apparently in your 30s you can just hurt yourself doing normal stuff you did in your 20s. does anyone know if this reverses or…

i learn about chinese politicians thinking they were some kind of scholar-official but NO SOME OF THEM HAD RIFLES AND THEY SHOT GUYS IN THE FACE

reading about chinese communist history gives me so much whiplash because what do you MEAN that NERD who wrote DENG XIAOPING THOUGHT was actually a whole PLA COMMANDER who LED MILITARY OFFENSES against the kuomingtang??? DXP??? that guy?????

the baby was SOOOO soggy and trudging away grumpily from tourists who wanted to feed him LOL
