I suggest that you avoid establishments where tipping is the normalcy, and to learn how to cook. This is the unfortunate reality of living in this piece of shit country.

My thought is no. I can understand being expected to tip when dining at a restaurant and having a waiter or waitress deliver to you your meal, or when it’s delivered to your address. It doesn’t make sense, to me, at least, to tip when picking up your orders.

You can’t drink tap water in China. You’ve got to boil it first. Stick some tea leaves in there while you’re at it.

Was it really that bad in your experience? It seems hard to believe as someone who has not visited China but heard many great things about the nation.

I don’t have a particular top ten, so I’ll just list a few series that I’ve enjoyed over the years: Detective Conan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Code Geass, Death Note and Grand Blue.

You would have been more okay with this image if it was drawn by a person?

I recently purchased Skyrim, and I had a ton of fun; but I had began to realize a plethora of issues from game balancing to unimpressive story-telling that finally compelled me to quit. I spent a little less than 93 hours on it, which speaks great volume of how enjoyable the game can be, however.

Empires usually end up collapsing under their own weight due to sheer incompetence and arrogance.

Why is anti-vax a thing, again?

I think it’s more likely that we won’t be alive.

Entrepreneurship is good, though. Innovation is necessary to make progress in advancing society, especially now that the US and its’ satellites are preventing the export of high-value technological products to the country.

As for the crime, well, that’s what happens when you live in the cradle of neoliberal rot and decay. The laws are no good if the ones writing and enforcing them are rats and maggots.

Is Russia Fascist?

No.

American media is disgustingly decadent; always publicly discussing about genitalia, sex, drugs and other yuck without a hint of shame.

You and I both know that is never going to happen.

I had thought that China was expected to abandon fossil fuels by 2060, but 14% of the total energy will still be derived from fossil fuels. Maybe that is a more realistic outlook on things, though.

This is a paraphrase of a comment that I posted on Reddit some time ago:

China certainly exports ideology. For example, the notion of “mutually beneficial win-win cooperation” as opposed to the “zero-sum game”. These types of ideals serve as the foundation for China-Global South (South-South) cooperation to industrialize and modernize former colonized and developing nations rather than simply exist as raw material exporters. This way, they can finally pry the grasp of the imperial core on their holdings and become an independent, sovereign power. You could consider that exporting “revolution” or “socialism”.

Realistically? Nothing.

Thank you, US; for destroying the American empire for our sake.

Has there ever been any incident where Huawei was illegally stealing information from foreigners and transmitting it to the Chinese government? Or is this another case of projection? “The Americans do it, so the Chinese do, too!”.
