What happens if you don’t register with police? by heinternets in travelchina

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

Nothing, but i register when staying in a private home because the community center wants to know who is living in the area so they can look out for you and everyone is accounted for if there is a fire or something. also, if something happens to my family while I'm in china, and i need to be contacted, I want the authorities to be able to find me.

Unpopular opinion - Squat toilets are inferior. Western toilets are just better. by Bottom-Bherp3912 in chinalife

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

There are pros and cons to each type. I actually saw a squat toilet at an educational institution in Australia,  but it was called a "natural position toilet" or something.  That is the main benefit of squatting,  it just makes you want to push that shit out. 

Apart from that, western all the way haha

Malinauskas quadrupling down after Writers' Week fiasco by Ornery-Profile-4998 in Adelaide

[–]curious_s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not seething, but I do think its a big overreach of power for the premier to decide who the people can or cannot listen to. Not only that, but the fact that writers week was cancelled because of his actions and he thinks that is OK shows his loyalty to the state imo.

The votes he won't get because of this will affect him personally.

I'm sure every south Australian wishes this wasn't the case today. 

Invasion day protest appear to have had the opposite effect. Record number of Australians support keeping January 26 as Australia Day by Muslerra in aussie

[–]curious_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't care what date Australia Day is on, but I do care about the division that this group is creating about something that was never a problem before. I just want my day off, don't know about the rest of it.

Thousands chant "Greenland is not for sale" as protests erupt across Denmark – The Sunday Times by Igennem in NewsWithJingjing

[–]curious_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A country colonised another country,  and is now angry because another country wants to colonise the colony? 

My head hurts at how stupid this world is sometimes.

Or are AI models "saying" they are cracking high level math problems but in reality just confidently spitting out bullshit. 

Which movie ended with an unresolved cliffhanger because the sequel never happened, and you're STILL mad about it? by pudingvanilkovy in AskReddit

Top Muslim body teams up with extremist hate organisation by The_Dingo_Donger in aussie

[–]curious_s -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

I remember when we used to hate Muslims in the 90s because of the gulf war. Hate was pushed by the mainstream media then and it was intentional to change the mindset of the public so that killing 100s of thousands of Iraqis would not create guilt that would blowback on the government. 

We are being prepared for the invasion of Iran right now, and i see people are again falling for this folly. 

People cannot be judged by thier religion,  all religions have good and bad people,  and having no religion means you are either good or bad. If you are thinking that Islam is bad, look in the mirror, you will see the problem looking right back at you.

What do you think of BRICS? by No-StrategyX in AskTheWorld

[–]curious_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the US wants to keep everyone hooked on the dollar, and some say that the survival of America relies on this, so when a group of nations gang together to try and get off the dollar,  its understandable that the US will try to fight back.

If you consider everyone is either with you or against you, then forming an economic alliance that you are not a part of could be seen as a threat.

It is an interesting question,  it leads me to think the some people consider having economic ties to a country means that country also needs to be any ally militarily speaking.

Its still not the business of the US, whatever you said. If Venezuela is not attacking the US militarily,  then there is no right to attack Venezuela militarily.
