If it wasnt for China, Westerners would also still scratch their asses with shells and stones.

So middle east gave them bidet and China gave them paper. They are so lucky

ITT: almost noone admits they like they “power” and the replacement of a career which they lack irl. Barely anyone with a demanding career has time for this unpaid shit, especially with family.

I secured some subs to ensure I can powertrip against people on reddit. I dont have time to fully mod them so will get some janitor mods do the work while I can powertrip once in awhile (not main acc)

In the early 10s Smartphones evolved quickly and it was worth it to upgrade every 2nd year or even every year.

This changed when the tech stagnated. But smartphone was much cheaper in the early days so financially it probably isnt much different if you are buying flagships later now.

It was funny when I came to work at clients offices with suit except a tshirt instead but still jacket.

My client came in with shorts and tshirt. We sitting next to each other was hilarious. Next time i came in with a mote casual long trousers and tshirt no jacket. My colleagues still came with suits but I stopped

EU will never seriously want turkey to be member. They will only pretend if necessary.

EU doesnt want another Orban and Polish right wing governments blocking every single decision

Sweden currently would be in a perfect selfish situation.

Norway and Finland are in. So sweden cannot be attacked by russia without NATO helping them unless russia only attacks islands. But Sweden has free choice to participate or ignore NATO being attacked.

Now Sweden has to help NATO wherever they are being attacked.

Pulling out the racist card on language topics and being confronted on “I heard from a friend” is hilarious. I think at this point people can just read that your comments are wrong and are no longer easily fooled by misinformation, so it is fine now. I dont need you to admit being wrong. Which barely happens on reddit nor lemmy

Ah the classic “this wont work, you see bc USA has shown that and free market always wins”

Meanwhile the rest of the world have several different but similar blueprints showing how it works much much better. But americans must always go a different route and ignore as if nothing else exists.

Plot twist: the Hotel did change them and all colleagues did too. Only OP learnt it wrong and despite knowing it is shitty OP didnt bother to do better himself bc he thought everyone did this

Ah the classic, we fucked up but cant do anything about that. Lets just wait until it solves itself and endure or ignore the complaints and bad rep

Chinese cultures and dishes are so various it could be an entire continent. Lol

I as many of my people know cantonese and mandarin while knowing latin and english, we have way more insight than your 2nd hand story which might not even be the fault of your friend if he only had few minutes to tell you about it or you simply not having the time to understand him.

It is important to not let this just go bc people blindly believe things on reddit and lemmy especially when it is such foreign topic. Peking was Peking bc it is cantonese transferred english, german and co. Thats a known fact

Internet usage data were never secrets.

Lao Sa Bao is amazing. It is even amazing when bought from supermarket fridges

Americans are sometimes really superficial, unknowingly or taught since child. You can see something very similar in HK. The City is known for people being really superficial due to culture and the economic pressure on them. Marrying or dating purely rich money and status is pretty main stream

Sad for the kids.

If they had guns it would be over 40 deaths. This is important for all european and east asian nations to remember. Your gun policy works. Don’t allow mass school shootings and street shootings

It is likely you are confused by the hen and egg problem of why your friend said Beijing when reading Peking. He simply skipped and ignored what was written bc he knew it was the equivalent of his own languages main capital city so he just used mandarin word for it.
