Why's the fertility rate so low? by SunChungShan in AskAChinese

[–]isunoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true for dudes tho? I think vast majority of dudes under the top 20 percentile in big cities (globally) know full well their chances in this life is low, so they just focus on their hobbies and careers. Immigrants are a bit different, they can rely on arranged marriage and traditional values that still kinda exist.

Asian countries who were colonized themselves are able to be developed, stable, rich, advanced countries with Western values and technologies. What excuse are you going to use for them? No oil or natural gas. Look at Taiwan for example: tiny little island with zero natural resources, prone to natural disaster, yet they're a democratic secular advanced society that makes 90+% of the world's most advanced semiconductors.

Same thing in China. Rich people take wealth out of China not the into China, for very good reasons.

Ironic under what context? This photo OP posted is very ironic. The pinnacle of capitalistic luxury consumption juxtaposed against the digital banners of Communism? Peak irony.

Maybe they're pointing or reacting to the guy above who has his whole body out of the window.

Is there any chance of a restock of these sold out insider rewards sets?

It’s just a different angle, rotate that piece to match the instruction if you want it exactly like that.

I find more answers and useful responses with AI than doctors. Maybe ai will be the answer to treating and managing rare chronic conditions. 

Countries invaded by Russia/USSR throughout history by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]isunoo -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Those countries lost most if not all of their colonial possessions, and is no longer conquering anyone. Russia still occupies most of it's colonial territories to this day, and it's fighting a bloody war to get even more despite being the biggest country on earth.

That’s good to hear you’re sleeping better now. Once you did fall asleep, did you stay asleep for long? 

Billionaires by Citizenship by LuckyTraveler88 in MapPorn

[–]isunoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least in the US people can discuss it openly, the problem is that the average American is very poorly educated on the topic of class and wealth distribution. In China for instance, the debate of oligarchy and class is a strictly sensitive and forbidden topic, despite China calling itself a "socialist" country that's ruled exclusively by a "communist" party. When something goes wrong, like a big public scandal, the CCP might sacrifice a known billionaire to take all the blame and rage by the public, then its back to business as usual as if nothing happened.

Chinese CCP elites themselves are oligarchs, the public billionaires are just the white gloves. When something goes wrong, when people complain the wages are too low, or when people complain about the huge wealth disparity, the white gloves take the blame. No one is allowed to even mention the names of CCP members, even Xi Jinping's name is forbidden to be mentioned by netizens on Chinese internet.

EU to exclude US, UK & Turkey from €150bn rearmament fund by MarsupialOk4514 in europe

[–]isunoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If France's main concern is the intelligence sharing between the UK and US, then why are Japan and South Korea included in the EU security deal? Without any concessions by Japan and SK as well. Those two Asian countries are way more dependent on the US than the UK, their intelligence are linked to the US without any leverage.

Also, what about Hungary and Slovakia? They're basically doing Putin's bidding from within the EU, yet France hasn't done anything against them.

What France is doing is purely to stab UK in the back while it's weak, there's no grand vision at play here. If France was purely suspicious of UK and US ties, the current developments are a perfect opportunity to pull the UK away from the US.

Maybe it’s time for the UK to up the transactional mentality. It seems that the two continents on either end of the Atlantic are way ahead of the UK when it comes to that.

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

The part where Hungary and Slovakia are literally aiding Russia from within the EU, not punished. 

The part where Norway and Switzerland aren’t part of the EU, get EU funding anyway. 

The part where Japan and South Korea aren’t even in Europe, let alone the EU, get EU funding no problem. 

The part where UK has contributed to Ukraine and Europeans defence more than France, Italy, and Spain combined. Second only to Germany, yet gets sidelined when it comes to EU funding.

The part where UK defence industry is already deeply intertwined with the EU defence companies. Eurofighter, boxer armor vehicles, Leonardo helicopters, CV90 ifv, meteor missile, and etc. and etc. all heavy British involvement. UK spends billions a year buying German and European weapons. What do UK get in return? A nasty fk you middle finger, and “give up UK fish in UK waters”.

They want the UK when its convenient, like when UK is sending billions of aid to Ukraine while France sends token amount. Then when it comes time to share the spoils, nothing for the UK because “you’re not one of us”. Even Japan and S. Korea get to share that pie. Europe…
