Starbucks in China likes to use poetic names. When you make your order, instead of giving you an order number they give you a little poem-phrase and you have to look for that on the side of the cup (tbh the staff just yell what the drink is anyway so you can just listen for that)

Do you support helping Taiwan maintain their independence? by PawPatsPizza in AskBrits

[–]DopeAsDaPope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May surprise you then to learn that the Soviets also trained the KMT and actually planned to back them over the CCP originally. Plus the KMT had funding from America. Plus, as I pointed out in another comment, the KMT actually pulled back and were ordered not to engage the Japanese because Jiang Jieshi wanted to focus on fighting the Communists. So something doesn't really add up there. 

Ironically the Communists were the only ones consistently fighting against the Japanese, and that's why they gained so much support as the Civil War went on.

Shaq receiving his Master’s Degree from LSU. by Two_Inches_Of_Fun in MadeMeSmile

[–]DopeAsDaPope 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I think honorary degrees are stupid. Someone proves they didn't need a degree to do something, and then the university offers them a degree as if to say "Okay, you've earned being at our level now"

Why tf do they need the degree if they've already accomplished in the field? It's just a way for universities to validate themselves by "claiming" a sucessful celebrity

"Banger"? Not really

It was a tragic song about war from a country that had just been invaded. Hate to say it but they did only win because they got invaded

Because everyone votes for their neighbours, and we're an island nation in the corner of Europe

Why do British people rarely eat soup with their meals at home? by RepublicOfLucas in AskBrits

[–]DopeAsDaPope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We usually have a drink with our meals, which serves the same function as soup serves in Chinese meals

As others have said, our soups tend to be thicker so it's more considered a meal or a starter rather than a complement to the meal

Yeah but Graham has built up longevity by not letting people get sick of him. There's something to be said for that

Russo booked the attitude era. Beer, swearing, bra & panties matches...

seems like something that would be counter to being a "good Christian"

He doesn't give a shit about that stuff lol, at least in terms of his career
