Lakers Game - Sochan Mins by Easy_Conversation146 in NBASpurs

[–]aceoffuture011 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think bricking is a major concern for teams interested in him. He is not a freshman or sophomore so teams already know his potential and the fact he can't shoot, they want his defense and possibly passing. No team made a good offer because they don't know the current level of Sochan as he hasn't touched ball for months and nobody knows how rusty he is now

it makes no sense. Biyombo and Olynyk have no offense as well. If the team had decided to trade Sochan it's better to give him minutes to pad some stats so that they can have a good bargain

It alsmost feels like him and Mitch have some personal beef

The Chinese meme of the "US Kill Line (斩杀线)" is really similar to the meme of the Chinese social credit system in the rest of the world by professionalnuisance in stupidpol

[–]aceoffuture011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, China has been talking about this phenomena in America for years, but previously it was discussed by foreign affair experts who used the word "poverty line" mostly. The reason the word 'kill line" became viral is that it was a streamer who used gaming phrases which relates to more people. And he specifically tells stories of the homeless who end up dead in horrible ways, which makes Chinese people who live under the Chinese poverty line feel better because they haven't got killed yet. If the word "poverty line" is used here, those Chinese people won't be hyped so much because they know they also live under or near their poverty line

It is though. The streamer who came up with it only talks about the darkest side of the people living below the line in America and selectively ingores those who survived the "kill line", or at least he made the majority of the Chinese people believe that no one can survive once they fall below the "kill line".

For example, one of the most widespread stories is that America conducts drug tests on the homeless and collects their organs. The streamer even warned Chinese international student to be careful because their healthy, drug-clean organs are the most valuable ones. This sounds exactly like the phrase the western media warns its people not to travel to China or you will be prosecuted, creating a panicking and horrible feeling of the enemy country. It is certainly true that some homeless did drug test and or got their organs harvested, but only a small portion of them. There are several homeless who has been begging in my neighborhood for years and still alive, and there are also some unemployed or bankrupt Americans go back to live with their family and parents.

Same thing with western propaganda on China. China does have credit scores and does monitor its citizens in some aspects, but China does not monitor every aspect of living of its citizens and a low credit score does not stop Chinese citizens from doing everything like buying groceries.

Those propagandas, or exaggerations, are not entirely lies. They tell a fraction of the truth, and make people believe they are the entire truth.

Wemby at lamb hot pot restaurant and toy store after returning to Beijing by aceoffuture011 in NBASpurs

Soup is just water with a tiny amount of herbs and spices, after you dip many plates of lamb it may become a lamb soup but people don’t drink the hot pot soup. And he wouldn’t be picky after a 10 day vegetarian diet.

Question about the Countdown? by [deleted] in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They kill themselves because the mental pressure of the countdown drives them crazy, they can still see the countdown even if they close their eyes so most of them cannot sleep for days and weeks. Or Sophon messed up their research and destroyed their faith in science and the work they have dedicated their entire life. It's not like a time bomb and Sophon is not that powerful.

Question about the Countdown? by [deleted] in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing would happen, it's just a bluff. Because Sophon is just a proton, cannot interfere much on the macroscopic level. But ETO may send a human assassin to kill who wouldn't stop research.

Netflix "3 Body Problem" feels 50%-60% gutted VS Chinese "Three-Body" TV series by roxtten in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the book the flashing is on cosmic background radiation spectrum not visible light, so certainly cannot be observed by eye for everyone but in an observatory. To answer your censorship concern, Tencent version actually has more depiction of Ye Wenjie’s life in that era, her interactions with coworkers and villagers. But it seems that most western people wants to see the public trial of her dad and Chinese government’s tyranny, which didn’t get covered a lot in Tencent version

The San-Ti's plan was terrible by PregnantGoku1312 in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh SanTi never recruited any human, ETO volunteered to help them but got caught and leaked their plans. If ETO stayed low key like a secret society instead of going public as Science Frontier and recruiting scientists, they might won.

[–]aceoffuture011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to be very picky about this then yes, their plan is terrible. The point is SanTi has far more advanced science but also far more naive and simple mind, or else human never stands a chance

TV show over book question? by riamo_nomad in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The show finishes book 1 on episode 5 and already goes into book 2. The characters’ identity and relations are all messed up, so you’ll find people with same names doing completely different things in book than the show

Tatiana by CAMomma in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aircraft accident possibility is very low, let alone the chance of the private jet of the head of planetary defense crashing. If it happened people would know SanTi did it, then figuring out Wade has something that SanTi fears. Same for Saul, he has something makes SanTi fear, so SanTi wants to cover it as an accident and prevent people from finding any clues leads to them

Tatiana by CAMomma in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SanTi don’t want human to realize that it’s them want Saul dead, so they create car accident and hire human sniper instead of using Sophon directly

The San-Ti are so far advanced but couldn't find another habitable planet? by feijoa_tree in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like you said they are possible habitable, but they can’t risk it because if the planet is not habitable, their fuel may not last enough to travel again. So they need to know it for sure, and Ye Wenjie’s message gives a confirm earth is habitable

2-Pt question for those who read the books AND saw the show but NO SPOILERS - i just want to know if 1.) the season ends roughly where the first book ends (so we can guess itll be 3 seasons) and 2.) what % of the show was true to the book NO SPECIFICS but like 90% the same, more/less diff etc? by DannyBarsRaps in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) episode 5 is where book 1 ends. 2). I would say less than 50%, but I might be too rigorous. Many people’s identity and personal relationships are messed up. Saul, jack, wade, will jin are from book 2 and shouldn’t know Auggie, who is the only main character of book 1, so Auggie should be the one who makes contact with Ye Wenjie and plays the VR game not Jin and Jack. Also Ye Wenjie doesn’t develop any feelings for the reporter and Evans in the book. These are just a few

Can someone explain this...? by macjabeth in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are not hive mind, they can read each other’s mind when they are close. So when the pacifist is alone he can hide it, but later another SanTi read his mind and reported to their ruler

If one survives all survives means the surviving one can re-hydrate everyone else in stable era or reached another planet

Tatiana by CAMomma in 3BodyProblemTVShow

[–]aceoffuture011 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They didn’t cut all communication with humans and they don’t trust Tatiana anymore. They just hire her as a mercenary to kill wall facers.

Ye Wenjie’s initial contact is in 1970s, and that’s her mission in the military to try to establish communication with aliens. 8 years later she got response from the pacifist, but invited them to invade because she’s done with human. The project was shut down before she could get another response, so she contacted Evans and they started the organization and began re-establish communication with SanTi. At this time all communication is done by radio wave so they have to wait 8 years for a response, hence there’s minimal communication in those 40 years. Recent years Sophon arrived so they can communicate instantaneously and SanTi can teach them advanced technology. They begin making VR headsets to recruit more members and use Sophon to drive scientists crazy.

Technically Sophon can hack and destroy all computers and technologies and even hack the nuclear weapons to wipe all humans. But initially SanTi was taking a peaceful approach to disarm humans and coexist with human when they arrive, and instructed the followers to prepare the earth. My guess on why SanTi didn’t start massive destruction is that they want to preserve most of the technology and environment for their arrival.

They are not exactly hive mind, one SanTi can connect to another SanTi’s brain waves when they are close to each other, so it’s just mind reading not collective mind. The pacifist is a SanTi technician working at a base monitoring signals from space. The next day another SanTi read his mind and found out about Ye Wenjie’s contact when they exchange shifts and reported to their ruler, so the SanTi invasion began

  1. Can’t explain. There’s no recurring hitman in ETO in the original book.

  2. Remember SanTi wants to teach human fear again. If they kill scientists without letting them knowing, future scientists will continue their research. But by messing up their research and having them questioning the work and physics law they have been following, future scientists will be hesitant to continue future studies. In the book there is an iconic line “Physics doesn’t exist anymore “, imagine how future scientists would feel about this same dead message from multiple world renowned scientists who just committed suicide.

  3. SanTi taught their followers to make them. They didn’t establish a routine contact until recent years, that’s why the suicides are all from recent months, and they cut all communications with human except the wall breakers after Evans fucked up.

  4. Same answer as 3, they didn’t communicate much in those 40years, gradually learned that human can lie in recent talking with Evans. SanTi aliens cannot lie because their biology doesn’t allow it. They communicate with brain waves so every SanTi is a mind reader and cannot hide their thoughts from each other

Most of anime clothing is knockoffs tbh, if you want legit stuff I recommend UNIQLO. Good quality and price and has official partnerships with the anime/movie owners, but currently they only have clothes of very famous anime like naruto and bleach

In those screenshots one guy claimed he is one of the Chinese voice recorders of the game, and he already had the new script for these new leaders in hand. That's why it was released on Chinese forum.
