I wish. Min wage in some parts of China provides a similar purchasing power as I have making more than 4x the min wage in the US. I would actually be able to afford a house in my lifetime if that were true.

In fact, when losing a war miserably, one should expect to make concessions to the winning side. This delusional belief that losers can dictate term terms will result in the death of every Ukrainian man of fighting age.
You don’t ask the loser what they want to stop the war. You go to the side that’s winning and say, “what would it take to get you to stop?”. Either Zelensky is a fool or he’s so posturing for more western money, because he has really no leverage and so his insistence on continuing the war is costing hundreds of thousands of lives. Support domestically for the war has collapsed, tens of thousands have fled the country, tens of thousands more dodge the draft. Everyone willing to fight in this war has already done so, they’re literally arresting people for draft dodging and telling them go to prison or join the military and we’ll absolve you of the “crime” of not wanting to fight a losing war. Is this just a collapse in western understanding of war after so long without a major one? Or is it just selfishness on the part of the west who cares more about “hurting Russia” than it does about irradiating Ukraine and destroying an entire generation of people? Or is it just idiocy on the part of Ukrainian leadership, who keep getting removed for not wanting to continue sending their men to die?
RCA is a trot organization, unfortunately.

BYD, honestly. But, if you’re in a country that can’t get them, I’m still a fan of Toyota. Hear good things about modern Hyundai too, but I can’t say anything from personal experience.
I was driving this weekend, a truck turned onto the road ahead of me, stayed stopped in the right hand lane until I got near to them, then slammed on the gas spewing a massive cloud of filth that entirely enveloped my car. Thankfully my wife and I noticed it beforehand and rolled our windows up.
That last bit will work well on the libs. They think you never negotiate with your enemies, only your friends.
The Arab Spring was in fact a revolutionary moment, and had an organized vanguard party existed anywhere it happened, it may have been significantly more successful.
Nooo not Airbus too. I can’t start taking boats to China, no way I can get that much time off.
That shit gave me more intense cravings than any drug I’ve ever taken in my life, and I’ve hit most of the hard ones.
Without it we’d still have server browsers as the primary avenue for game finding, and you’d just find a community of people that you jived with and have fun, building community bonds and having fun without worrying about your ELO or whatever.
It so thoroughly destroyed what made the book good that I couldn’t get through it. And it’s not like the book is some masterpiece of fiction, either. They just didn’t give a damn about it at all.
It’s actually the (not late) Billy Corgan
You can browse Weibo from anywhere. I’m not certain about making accounts though, some of the Chinese sites I use require mainland China phone numbers, so I never even tried with Weibo.
Oh man the street food scene is awesome there! I went to this like, Korea town when I was there, and had so many delicious snacks, and it felt so nice just sitting on a stool right on a beautiful road eating delicious food and watching the world pass me by.
In China delivery is done by electric scooter mostly, and the prices can be even cheaper than going yourself.
I tend to prefer the view Huxley had of psychedelics in his ultimate novel, Island. Brave New World shows how psychedelics could be used for harm, and island how they could be harnessed for benefit. The book is starkly anti capitalist too.
psychedelics took away my revolutionary spirit and gave me false consciousness for a long time. I think they can be enjoyed as a tool for self reflection, surely, but their usefulness is vastly overstated, and the delusions it can give you can lead very easily down the crunchy right path.
I used to love Tim Leary, nowadays I tend to take the perspective of the Black Panthers when he went to Algeria with them, if you know what I mean.
Literally every homeowner in the US that hasn’t paid off their home (read: most of them) have homeowners insurance, which has theft and burglary provisions. A good many have renters insurance, too.
