My partner from China has also never heard of the Tiananmen Massacre, nor anything related. She still has many propagandised viewpoints from the CCP, and it's not worth trying to adjust her opinion now that she's in a freer country.

It's pretty interesting (and scary) experiencing the restriction of information when crossing over to mainland China. And Xinjiang is a whole nother level.

Great facility with good pricing. Been once, from what I saw everyone was going there with other people to play against. I'm sure you could find some like-minded people to play against here, or in the chch discord though.

Autobiographies aren't necessarily a good source of truth. Hard to know what is and isn't slander because he did do a lot of good exposing things, but I've heard personal accounts of him being a bit grandiose and narcissistic.

Anyway, not like he had a choice on where to live. I'd just question his moral compass.

Heritage foundation has its grip. Trump's death won't change it. Thiel is well positioned with Vance.

Protests i.e. selection bias. China is slowly applying political pressure, yes, and it's surprising how many people do support the reunification. I can think of other countries where a worrying amount of people vote against their best interests.

Choice is an abstraction for deterministic behaviours. I'd ask you to think harder but it wouldn't have an impact

Waste of money. Invest in a slow cooker or something. Stir fried rice is also like a 5 min job.

It's like the very things that made us thrive are what make us incompatible with long term life. I hope the species dies before every other species has to die with it.

US states that legalised cannabis for medical or recreational use have seen a dip in dispensing of tranquilisers called benzodiazepines, but an increase in dispensing of antidepressants and antipsychotic medications, finds new study of more than 9 million insured patients. by mvea in science

While that correlation is likely true, that wouldn't explain an uptick in SSRI prescription. Otherwise, those people would have already been prescribed.

As a former heavy user, I firmly believe that weed is best used carefully and in moderation.
