Alcohol and shitposting
Inflammable means flammable? What a country
All Cop28 Are Bastards. Is that acronym already in use? It's quite catchy
Baldur's Gate 3 style CRPG set in a Cowboy Bebop/Firefly style universe.
Alternatively, the My Dinner With Andre arcade game from the Simpsons, either works.
I think I remember Nina Oyama saying something similar, but in a "hey this is amusingly uniquely Australian, I'm Japanese and have been to America" not "this is cultural appropriation" way.
Google "Stargazy pie"
Google "Jellied eels"
Google "mushy peas over chips"
Well yeah, we're melting all the sea ice so hitting up Antarctica would yield you a nice vista of flowers blooming. You could wear jorts and a Hawaiian shirt off the coast of what used to be permafrost.
They produce their own content. It's worse. Never forget Logan Paul's Hunger Games ripoff YT movie
Counterpoint: aligning with the west/the US is bad.
This only became an issue when we defeated a half dragon non-lethally and the DM was making small talk with the dragonborn.
Did you at the very least suggest pirating Windows?
Because otherwise it'd be "Hey guys have you considered giving ~$100 to Bill Gates to play a free to play video game?
I would love to get the opinions of people who fall for Nigerian Prince scams, or people who actually click the ads that say "There are hot singles in your area" just to diversify my niche online social group.
Reddit leans "acceptable" left, which is basically what the yanks allow.
Reddit's highest concentration of users from 2015 was a US military base
It creates an environment where you can call out billionaires/gun nuts/anti vaxxers/homophobes/Saudis/etc and get upvotes, but it won't let you create an actual opposition to the problem.
Like, surely you have heard about atrocities committed by Saudi Arabia or Israel or other US allies? They get maybe half a day on r/all, compared to any demonstrably less deadly event in Iran/China/Russia that hangs in news subreddits for weeks? Even if it isn't a left wing bias, it's definitely a right wing bias.
If you, the civilian, donates to a legitimate cause, the billion dollar company won't be able to claim that donation on their tax deductions.
If they donate, it's a zero sum game. Maybe 5 mins in the spotlight for alturism.
But if you give them the money to donate on your behalf? They don't spend a cent and are able to get tax deductions for "philanthropy". It's the best possible outcome (for the company).
When the KMT retreated to Taiwan, my grandfather became the highest ranking CPC cadre in eastern Hubei by pure chance, and so became in charge of the city of Ezhou. The KMT completely abandoned it. Any service, utilities, maintenance, etc provided by the government was abandoned. He arrived at the city's prison to find it completely abandoned of staff, the inmates left to starve in their cells.
Having only Marxist theory and no governing experience whatsoever, one of his first acts after assuming power was to review every single convict in the city prison personally and deem who was to remain (i.e. murderers, Japanese collaborators, etc) and who was to be set free (e.g. debt delinquents, communists, critics of the ROC, etc). He had the files read and interviewed all the prisoners, their alleged crimes and how long their sentences was, and used his very limited power to exonerate those he deemed innocent.
He always said if the retreat didn't happen when it did, if the KMT sounded the retreat a week earlier while he was still in Wuhan, they may have starved.
If it's ever questioned how the KMT with western backing and a numerical advantage lost the civil war, think about how they treat the 老百姓。
From surviving KMT massacres, Imperial Japan, the Long March, a huge disadvantage in the civil war, western imperialism, the Sino Soviet split, attempted colour revolutions, decades of propaganda, trade wars and natural disasters. The people have won. No other ideology could have accomplished this. From illiterate peasants to a nuclear powered, space faring superpower within one lifetime.
