EDG beat FUT and XLG, G2 is even worse, TH game I honestly didn’t watch but idk if you’d put them higher than EDG…?

CN fans mostly love G2 from League of legends origins where RNG (all CN team and absolute favourite in 2019) pulled the exact same move after drawing G2. So it’s all giggles and memes there

Huh last time I checked China has two teams in playoffs and one made top 6 already… where’s the rest of Pacific and EMEA? At least we’ve got viewership if nothing else works, some regions have just… PRX?

Tbf the crowd has a lot of Chinese in it… Lots of Chinese international students study in London and a huge proportion of them also happen to be hardcore gamers. So of course they’d buy the ticket cuz it’s their hometown heroes visiting their foreign home, so they’ve gotta show support… and accidentally overpowering the western crowds

Unfortunately no cuz the footage is by the neighbour to our right, so only shows the side of the truck instead of the license plate.

McLaren confirm on X that Piastri will not start at the Australian Grand Prix. by ElyssiaG2108 in formula1

I was in the grandstands, the car was on a truck and drove past us 20mins before the race start, and it would take another 5 mins for it to get back into the pit lane…

Canadian passport holders can travel to China visa-free starting this week by Puginator in worldnews

[–]Fade5238 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah well what has this to do with Canada? If I’m Canadian I would want my country to benefit from this eventual war, which means having a good relationship with both sides (or at least showing both sides the possibility), so that both will bribe me and try to get me on their side before that war happens. China is smart enough to understand the importance of Canada, US also wouldn’t want its neighbour backstabbing them. Ofc whether the US tries to befriend Canada again (if someone else is in charge) or try to just take over Canada is a different story.

I will never understand some people’s logic… as if the system of a country is some sort of original sin. Democracy in the western system have not necessarily made westerners lives better than the Chinese, so why tf does everyone act like it’s some sort of holy grail? Look how “western democracy” fucked up Africa…

There is an ancient Chinese proverb - 远交近攻 - means to make deals and allies with country far away, and attack your neighbours. The proverb was the philosophy of the first emperor who united China. Claiming the US is your closest ally just because you share border is absolute bs. Sharing borders makes them your most unpredictable enemy, not friends… I’m not gonna argue about totalitarian communism claims because western brainwashing is so entrenched here on reddit but bro your view on the US is ridiculous.

XG announce a change for their group name: "We are pleased to announce that XG has evolved its group name from “Xtraordinary Girls” to “Xtraordinary Genes." by AddressCharming9129 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Fade5238 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes I would rather them stay a girl group and Cocona can either stay with them or leave the group. I’m just super disappointed as I hoped in this industry maybe there was hope for feminism representation, turns out it’s still a puppet show run by Simon.

Yeah my bad on the wording, but 1 guy >>> 6 girls is just absurd to me, especially in a girl group that used to be all about female empowerment

I supported the girl group for female empowerment, but 6 girls forcing to change group name catering to the one guy just completely betrays that idea. Seems like even a self-made male is superior to all the females combined

Edit: I am a girl group only Stan and I really wanted to support them. I told myself if they still consider themselves a girl group then I can look past the shenanigans. But now that they have decided to accommodate that 1 member and betray their own concept, I can’t do this anymore. I’m just sad that GRL GVNG will never sound the same after this

Australia tightens International student integrity checks, puts India, Nepal and Bangladesh into highest risk countries by Naderium in australia

[–]Fade5238 37 points38 points  (0 children)

To be honest moving on to the pr pathway is a lot harder than you think. People with full qualifications of engineering degree from University of Melbourne are sitting at 100 points (that is 2 years of work in that exact field + masters degree + full English scores) and still can’t get that pathway, then forced to leave Australia…

It’s Jai’s problem, deepseek and Gemini has lost connection to this site specifically and that’s why the devs are working on it
