She thought it was funny though lol.

I still call my dad 'Father' because it irritated him. Maybe I gotta try 'Sir' next time I see him?

It's that Soviet joke about American's not noticing propaganda, but here even the propagandists don't notice what they're doing.

I hate American exceptionalism but their brainwashing tech is truly world-class.

It's acceptable for the poor, it's just not particularly accessible for the poor.

I choose to believe Xi Jinping personally cut a glass roofpane with a comically large diamond, was lowered into a minefield of lasers to perform outrageous gymnastic moves, and swapped a jade antique with a bag of mahjong tiles to trick pressure plates, all before silently escaping and flying back to China in a waiting J-36.

HK and Anti-Lockdown protests only saw a police response iirc.

HK-based Radii covered the same story and you can look up the trend on XHS.

It's not a particularly anti-China concept, they're just quirky co-working and social spaces.

It just closed down? Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time. It led an amazing life. What else can you say? It was an amazing website. Whether you agreed or not, it was an amazing website who led an amazing life. I'm actually saddened to hear that. I am sadden to hear that. Thank you very much.

Near crowds? Not at crowds or into crowds?

They shot somewhere nearby and people happened to die, just a coincidence?

It's funny that the capitalist class aren't consistent on this though.

Old media corps (Disney, etc.) make their money by overprotecting their IPs, while the younger tech giants are going to make more money with liberal laws regarding copyright and AI.

Not sure it'll end up good for us on the ground regardless but it's nice to see them fight.
