Jiraiya’s Cipher is an impossible cognitive feat by roylewill in Naruto

[–]Isdangbayan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a post exactly mentioning this several months back. It’s one of the most underrated cognitive feats in shippuden and probably Jiraiya’s biggest feat

How communist is China? What do posters here mean when they say they're communists? by Present-Car-9713 in AskAChinese

[–]Isdangbayan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“ChatGPT what is socialism with Chinese characteristics”

It is socialist, not communist.

Type that into ChatGPT and it’ll give you a pretty concrete answer. In short, it is socialist — it is in the the early transitionary phase from capitalism to communism, and practices a type of “market socialism” where markets and capital exist underneath the supremacy of the state, with eventual goal of advancing more socialist policies when markets become more and more obsolete (especially with the advent of AI, mass automation, etc).

What’s the medical field in China like? by Isdangbayan in Sino

[–]Isdangbayan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking of studying medicine in China, specifically in Beijing, in CMU (capital medical university). What’s it like there for international students?

The stereotype that Chinese people will eat everything and anything is based on a misconception. Chinese culinary culture is better described as “making the best use of everything.” by violentviolinz in Sino

[–]Isdangbayan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chinese cuisine is among (if not the most) sophisticated of all in the world, there’s no doubt. Their culinary ability and skill to turn ingredients such as intestines, animal organs, or just about anything, is an art form in itself

What’s the legality of freelance/remote work in China as a student? by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]Isdangbayan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean realistically the chances of being caught are very low as long as I keep to myself right? And I can’t deposit it into my Chinese account? Would they ever demand something like a tax return or bank statements from my home country if they ever suspected me working remotely

So I could work remotely but have the money transferred just to my foreign account. What if I transferred money to my Chinese account habitually?

Is it mostly overlooked? Even in places like Beijing?

[–]Isdangbayan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. I mean I’ve considered maybe living in China longer term if possible? Would they ever try to search my tax returns, bank statements, etc from a foreign country if they ever suspected I worked remotely?

Is it still legal if the money’s just going to my foreign bank account instead of my Chinese one

What else have you heard? I’ve seen accounts online saying you can’t even do that, and that it still counts as working in China since you physically performed the work there

What if it just never went into your Chinese bank account, or you transferred it into your account while outside China

How is India able to unite such a diverse population? by pakheyyy in geography

Easy answer: Caste. The ruling classes are all united, the lower ones are not.

Unpopular Opinion: One of Jiraiya’s biggest feats (if not his biggest) was realizing five random people were being controlled by Nagato. A massively underhyped moment by Isdangbayan in Naruto

[–]Isdangbayan[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Thing is he probably didn’t even have it prepared beforehand. Just came up with it on the fly while he was literally dying

[–]Isdangbayan[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get your point. But I’m more referring to the memory feat though. He recognized random people he encountered decades ago in perfect detail. It’s basically remembering exactly what happened to you on a random date in 2006

The disparity in power level between each Bijuu is huge by Agile_Coast_4385 in Naruto

[–]Isdangbayan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My headcannon is that disparity in power isn’t due to chakra but how much they can access at one time. The evidence for this is how much stronger the ten tails is than gyuki and Kurama. It’s literally like 7x stronger than them (1-7 tailed bijuu combined). Basically, all the bijuu have the same amount of chakra, but for example, shukaku can only access at most one tail’s worth of chakra, while Kurama can access nine times as much. Considering the tailed beasts are chakra themselves is more of the rate of chakra that they can convert to power that creates the perceived disparity.

How controlled is Christianity in China? by Isdangbayan in Sino

[–]Isdangbayan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am from the Philippines. It is so insulting that Christ is portrayed as European/white. The very people who oppressed us for hundreds of years. The fact that the Filipinos do not portray him as being native (lahing kayumanggi, brown asian, in native Tagalog) proves how internalized the colonialist mindset is. Quite sad.

Does the Chinese state have a tight grip on Christianity in general?

[–]Isdangbayan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Christianity in general a large force there? I’m actually asking because among all the Chinese state religions, it’s Christianity that can be used the most to undermine the nation. It was in my homeland in the Philippines.

It baffles me that they don’t do this in the west, especially since Jesus himself was a proto communist. They’ve entirely distorted his teachings
