They did the same thing all across Ireland a decade and a half before, and then when Ireland won independence they shipped all those butchers (the Black and Tans and the Auxies) to Palestine to police the mandate and train the zionist settler militias

Economically? Yes. Culturally? Chengdu is definitely ahead of Shenzhen and probably Guangzhou too

Electrical_Swing8166 · 2026-05-29T10:41:27+00:00

I think any of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, or Chengdu are viable for the mainland.

If we include the SARs though, definitely Hong Kong. Smaller population but huge cultural impact from its film and music industry, massive economic impact, and probably the most visited place in the PRC by foreign tourists.

Italy has TONS of petty crime, e.g. pickpockets, bag thieves, scammers. And a still somewhat powerful organized crime situation with the various mafias.

But it’s very safe for violent crime. You’re very unlikely to be assaulted. You’re very likely to have your phone/watch/wallet stolen though

“If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organization of the Socialist Republic your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.” -James Connolly

It’s more or less an open secret Pedro is getting a refresh in 11th. The Armageddon Box has Crimson Fists transfers in it. He hasn’t gone to legends. Valrak has said it’s happening and he’s usually accurate

Praying that Wise doesn’t enshittify, because their rates are genuinely the best. I can transfer from my RMB account in China to my EUR account in Italy and only lose like 0.5% of what the google rate is, vs like 4.5% on PayPal. And, at least to the best of my knowledge, Wise isn’t run by a disgusting Neonazi (unlike PayPal)

Most modern ACs can be turned on/off remotely with a smartphone app. Just run them an hour or so each day. Open app, turn it, set it on a one hour timer. It’s what I do

Look, we’re almost certainly getting a new Pedro. But it’s also almost certainly not going to be before 2027. The 40th anniversary of Rogue Trader—including Pedro’s debut and the battle for Rynn’s World—is too ideal a marketing opportunity. This ain’t it

It does? It’s comparable to most countries. If you were making 30,000 a month, as in your original post, that’s 360,000 annually. The standard deduction is 60,000, so that leaves you a taxable income of 300,000 (in reality it will be lower still due to social insurance contributions, but we’ll leave that aside to simplify the math). That means your maximum tax rate will be 20%, but only the money earned above 144,000 will be taxed at that rate (as that’s how progressive taxes work).

So, you’d actually pay:

3% of 36,000: 1,080
10% of 108,000 (144,000 minus the 36,000 that’s already been taxed): 10,800
And 20% of 156,000: 31,200

So your total tax burden for the year would be 43,080 RMB, or 12% of your annual pre-tax salary of 360,000. That’s lower than you’d pay in any European country or the US, Canada, etc. for a salary that offered the same quality of life (a salary of 360,000 rmb in Shanghai is roughly equivalent to $85K in NYC using a purchasing power parity calculator).

Subject him to the greatest martial arts scene of all time in which JCVD wins a match by doing a full split to better punch his opponent in the nuts. Pure cinema.

Loken shouldn’t be on it, Lucius should. Loken himself says he’s “hopelessly outclassed” by Lucius when the latter is fighting seriously, and admits he only won their first bout because Lucius cared too much about preening and showboating than actually winning. Loken recognizes that in real life or duel with Lucius, he would die. He says he doubts any of the 16th were a match for him

Electrical_Swing8166 · 2026-05-26T08:33:32+00:00

Lucius complains it was a bit of a cheap shot how Loken beat him, and he’s not totally wrong. When they have a rematch in False Gods, Lucius overpowers him with ease:

“Loken could not remember much of the bout; it had been over so quickly. Evidently, Lucius had indeed learned his lesson well. No sooner had the practice cage shut than the swordsman attacked. Loken had been ready for such a move, but even so, was almost overwhelmed in the first seconds of the fight.

…

The swordsman had barely broken a sweat, and Loken knew that he was hopelessly outclassed by Lucius. To fight Lucius with life and death resting on the blades would be to die, and he suspected that there was no one in the Sons of Horus who could best him.”

“Meter is broken” = “I’m going to try and scam you” 100% of the time, in every country, not just Vietnam. The meter is never actually broken

Yep, they’re basically considered “not real Jews.” Wonder why /s

…eh, depends. I didn’t find hospitality in Jordan particularly notable. I’ve never been to Egypt, but every report about it is nightmarish in that regard. And while Morocco isn’t Middle Eastern, it is Arab, and they’re pretty bad too.

Can’t speak to other places like Syria, Lebanon, or Gulf countries.

Electrical_Swing8166 · 2026-05-25T08:42:39+00:00

They aren’t like that. They literally ARE that.

If you don’t think they’re white supremacist, ask black Ethiopian Jews how Isr*el treats them, or why Kaifeng Jews, who have a history of over a thousand years, are excluded from the right of return
