Is it an unpopular opinion to find the edit irritating? It represents a body image trope that belongs in the dustbin of history.

It’s too easy for a bad-faith user to trick it into saying something that can be used to support all the Sinophobic propaganda out there.

If people genuinely want answers to questions like the ones in your screenshot, it’s much better to email their local Confucius Institute.

BYD has various meanings:

For Chinese, it’s biyadi

For Westerners, it’s Build Your Dreams

For Western capitalist auto makers, it’s Bringing Your Downfall

The Trump regime is throwing out most of the USA’s soft power (except for entertainment media) and switching to hard power wherever it can. Going mask-off with its relationship with Europe (and NATO, Ukraine etc) is one of the ways it’s doing that.

I’m enjoying immense Schadenfreude from it; especially from all the smug European NAFO bros getting hit by the reality check that being a European NATO member means having a pair of boobs tattooed on your back.

Starmer hoping nobody notices that his “coalition of the willing” is not a coalition of the capable.

Honestly after the way Zelensky got humiliated here, he should ask Putin to let Ukraine join the Russian Federation. It would spite Trump, it’d be funny as fuck, and Ukraine would probably get better treatment from Russia than it would under the US vultures at thos point.

The dog knows how to find you again and knows that you feed her. Have a plan for that.

We only even have limits for presidents because the same libs, right wingers, whined and pissed themselves after the country elected the least-shitty president 4 times. If the president is good… who cares. Let them stay 50 years. I don’t understand the term limit shit.

Their media milks this so much, too. They propagandise term limits until the concept ossifies in people’s brains and then they point out Xi Jinping has no term limits every time he gets reappointed, and that alone is proof of dictatorship to liberals. The guy’s on a roll scoring W after W for China and the Western media just bleats about how democracy is being crushed under the weight of all of those Ws.

The dog robot was objectively better than the humanoid robot back when the humanoid robot couldn’t walk unless the floor was completely smooth. The humanoid robots can walk now, and they can do an increasing number of tasks in a work space designed for humans without needing hardware additions.

The dogs still win out in terms of speed and agility for the moment, but working in a power plant I think if the situation calls for speed and agility it’s time for the human supervisors to step in.

Put the billionaires in Guantanamo Bay and then give it back to Cuba. Win-win.

“Broken clock is right twice a day” but Mike Pompeo, and now Starmer? More of these, twice a day, please.

REDnote is a new name for xiaohongshu (小红书), a Chinese short video style social media app similar to douyin/tiktok or instagram.

It would be amazing if Westerners started using it. There’s no Chinese/English ecosystem split like tiktok/douyin has. Chinese and Americans would be together on the same social media platform.

Isn’t it such an amazing coincidence that the rebels who liberated Syria have goals and ambitions that line up perfectly with US Foreign Policy?

“We’ve liberated Syria, but Israel unliberated the rest of the Golan Heights but hey, they can have it. We don’t want to take on Israel, we want peace with Israel (who the UN says are doing a genocide on muslims) and war with China (who the CIA says are doing a genocide on muslims).”

It’s agonizingly slow because of that one time they tried to progress agonizingly fast on one great leap.

Changing culture through generational education (their textbooks are way ahead of their laws) is slow but it sticks. They learned that the hard way. The snap-back happens in the West as well but there’s no learning happening.

And importantly for China it doesn’t leave large demographics thinking that the government is trying to control them instead of serve them. The US would love an opening like that to drive wedges into Chinese society.

Mercin CEO’s might get people to recognize each other, but it’s never going to lead to systemic change

Depends how many, to be fair. Of course it should be zero because murder is bad and wrong.

Nasa, sending you my votes and prayers.

I was gonna downvote but then I saw your choice of examples.

they won’t though oh so that’s what the emote is for
