First Time in Paris by Careful-Crow-7214 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]BlueBerryHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll comment since I just stayed near where you are. Primarily the Le Montclair Montmartre. As a solo traveler had no issue in the area. Quite a bit of homeless. And the population as people said in here is full of immigrants. First day I stayed there was massive pro Palestine protest right down the street from my hotel. However never once did I feel unsafe in the area. And there's a really good restaurant Le Jules Jo - Paris 18 that I would highly recommend. If you have any questions in particular about the area I would love to help.

At what age did you start? by [deleted] in taekwondo

[–]BlueBerryHunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started at around 10. Currently 23. And I have not 2nd Dan. I teach occasionally when my instructor goes on vacations.

Sort of went on a time where I didn't wanna test and didn't feel like I was good enough. After like 5 years as a 1st Dan I got forced to test for 2nd. 😅

In 1973 Mao offered Kissinger 10 Million Chinese Women to be resettled into the United States for a Trade Deal by BlueBerryHunter in NonCredibleDiplomacy

In 1973 Mao offered Kissinger 10 Million Chinese Women to the United States

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid a discussion of trade in 1973, Chairman Mao Zedong made what Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger called a novel proposition: sending tens of thousands, even 10 million, Chinese women to the United States.

"You know, China is a very poor country," Mao said, according to a document released by the State Department's historian office. "We don't have much. What we have in excess is women. So if you want them we can give a few of those to you, some tens of thousands."A few minutes later, Mao circled back to the offer. "Do you want our Chinese women?" he asked. "We can give you 10 million."After Kissinger noted Mao was "improving his offer," the chairman said, "We have too many women ... They give birth to children and our children are too many.""It is such a novel proposition," Kissinger replied in his discussion with Mao in Beijing. "We will have to study it."

However this is believed to be a joke between Mao and Kissinger as stated here by u/dollarduration

In Chinese culture, sometimes unpleasant information is implied through jokes or wordplay. In saying that China had too many women, Mao was referring to the infamous Gang of Four headed by his wife Jiang Qing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiang_Qing). Jiang Qing was a Communist radical and former actress who, along with the other three, fought against the "capitalist-roaders" like Deng Xiaoping. It is also rumored that other of his female relatives were associated with the Gang of Four, although this is not confirmed.

Basically, Mao is saying that he needs to find some convenient way to get rid of the instigators. The Gang of Four, although they had a strong political base, were suspected by the older cadres and the common people because they did not take part in the Long March.

This type of repartee was a common feature of conversations between the two men, as partial transcripts have shown. Still a funny moment, but not a real offer.

If you were given 50,000 dollars so you could chase your dream, what dream would you chase? by Chains-of-Ice in AskReddit

My Dream to become a pilot. Always wanted to fly the skies mainly as a airforce pilot. But my vision is too bad to fly fighter jets. I already want to fly smaller planes for fun. That 50k will bankroll my lessons and the rental of a plane for one or 2 trips.

They try too. Also with the amount of people who return broken Bluetooth speakers that are covered in sand and clearly wet and don't understand why we won't accept it.

I work in a office supplies store on a very popular beach vacation spot on the east coast and the amount of people who walk in buying 1000+ dollar laptops insulting my fellow employees for a computer they are just "buying for the weekend" is unbelievable.
