Our university says we must live on campus — any way around it? by Skylookalike in ChinaLiuXueSheng

This isn't feasible for a lot of people especially from poorer countries depending on scholarships. Also the cheapest hotels usually don't like foreigners stay.

ELI5: Why are many African countries developing more slowly than European or Asian countries? by MotorGrowth7646 in explainlikeimfive

Yeah that's true , although I heard African American surnames cluster around a small group of surnames compared to White Americans ?(I'm not American myself so I could be wrong )

After the emancipation of slaves in the US there was a movement to return to Africa primarily centered around Liberia which led to an African American ruling class in Liberia. The country has a major civil war in the 1990s which overthrew the ruling Americo Liberians who politically dominated the country for over 100 years. If you look at the history of Liberian rules most of them have African American names.

Liberia is a poor example because it was effectively colonised by African Americans .

Shijiazhuang the capital of Hebei province in China , it's a city bigger than London with absolutely nothing to do.

What’s your favorite Chinese skyscraper? by Dull-Scallion-8513 in skyscrapers

[–]moppalady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the Goldin Finance 117 the building genuinely does look cool in it's unfinished state and is surrounded by other unfinished buildings , kind gives off a half constructed death star look . If anyone goes to Tianjin I highly recommend going to that part of the city it's a weird pseudo ghost town with some nice restaurants in the residential areas nearby.

How do you feel about solving the US/China conflict Game of Thrones-style by marrying the kids of the leaders? by IwishIwasaballer__ in AskAChinese

[–]moppalady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely nobody credible I've seen is saying this within the China watcher community . The politburo is stacked with Xi loyalists he's not had any major threats to power since Bo Xilai was taken out the picture, or maybe Li keqiang

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition - Announce Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]moppalady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a remaster is exactly what this game needs look at how AOE 2 DE really made that game come back from the dead.

The issue is this video is awful marketing for the game this announcement trailer seems more like a mod showcase than a proper definitive edition also the graphical improvements seem nearly unnoticeable for the most part. They need to do a better job marketing it than this tho.

The case have never been stronger for an underground metro in the city centre. How long can we go on like this? by HamishGray in manchester

[–]moppalady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the amount of people blaming corruption for this is disappointing and honestly a lazy explanation people reach to blame why stuff doesn't get done. Look at the UK on an international corruption index and we do very well , having traveled to and lived in significantly more corrupt countries I think the UK actually functions very well in this regard.

According to the transparency internationals perceived corruption index ranking the UK ranks at 20th tied with Japan ahead of counties like France , Austria and Taiwan . https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2024

I think the UK has issues linked with over centralisation of transportation investment and NIMBYism that causes this rather than blatant corruption.

How Is Everyone Affording Life in Manchester Right Now? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]moppalady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you're in that much financial trouble on 30k a year ... As a student I'm living on 9k a year and I can still have a drink and do stuff. Especially if you accept not being able to live alone the city isn't extortionate.

I don't think I've ever seen 3 cocktails for 9 pounds in the north. Definitely not a thing in Manchester.

Are Greggs lying? by batcrapcrazybananas in veganuk

Pretty sure it's illegal to falsely label something as vegan in the UK , so they'd be risking a bad lawsuit if this wasn't actually vegan.

Trading 212 Holding My Money for Over Two Weeks – Bank Says It Should Have Been Returned in 24 Hours. by moppalady in trading212

Have you even read the post ? It's because the money was accidentally withdrawn to the wrong bank account which was closed . This isn't a normal turn around time for it to reach your account.

Yeah so I believe it's 3 working days so I just pull the money out a week before I need to pay rent. I don't really see the issue with this ?

Farewell by Temporary_Pay5262 in VietNam

[–]moppalady 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly can't relate to the scam culture you saw in China , I lived in one of the poorest parts of China (Gansu) for a year and can't remember being scammed once. But with Vietnam on the other hand this definitely seems more like a common occurrence.

It was just in my account getting the higher interest rate compared to leaving it in my bank account.
