PoV, you live in a Wattpad story.

Soviets didn’t do much to help China fight off the imperialists from Japan. The US did.

Then Soviets try to coerce China to join the USSR as essentially a puppet state, used nuclear weapons as a threat to extort resources as “repayment” for the “help” they gave in WW2. Good thing China got the nuke, otherwise Soviets would’ve invaded.

Took credit for winning world wars

america is and always has been shit stain on the history of the world.

C’mon man, give the US some credit. They helped my home country, China, a lot during the defence against Japanese Imperialism, forced the impeialists to surrender.

It was in basically every station in Guangzhou, China, where I used to live as a child.

I have no nostalgia for it as we couldn’t afford to eat out when I was growing up.

We were new immigrants so we were broke af, but still, me and my (older) brother, occasionaly went to a nearby McDonalds. Around 2010s. Stuff was good. Big Mac, McChicken, and I think the most memorable were McNuggets and Fries. Big Mac was like $4/$5 so its rare to have those. Like maybe once in a while, there’s a promotion buy 1 get 1 free or half off and me and my brother would each have one.

You know the 20 piece McNuggets that is in one box, well that was so much trouble, we had to split it, and literally had to count each one, and there’s always a fight about like fairness, like which pieces are bigger or something, and its its odd numbered, that’s gonna be even more problems, so we’d just let mom have it. Thanks bro, appreciate it lol. Buy hey, at least we both have less lmao, so smart of you…

Nowadays, their stuff taste so bad.

I hate cheese on sandwiches lol. Or hotdogs.

Like… On Pizza, its good, Burgers, fine, sandwich, nah.

Also wtf apparantly a stick of cheese is “food”, I never understood that lol.

Closes Chinese Dictionary

“Listen here you little shit…”

But I mean I guess they should make a new term called 植-动物 with the 植 (to plant, to establish) character from 植物 (planted/established objects, aka: plants), thus making it “planted- moving object”, aka: plant-like animal; or conversely 动-植物 with the 动 (moving) from 动物 (moving objects, aka: animal), thus making it “moving- planted object”, aka: animal-like plant.

Its like word lego.

“Studies show that 9/10 doctors recommend smoking and that it’s safe and healthy.”

Problem with latin roots is that the root words don’t really get used anymore, meanwhile the individual characters that compose Chinese words are still used and taught to this day.

Tbf, when they coined those terms, they probably haven’t discovered like most of the variety of species yet, but that was the best term they had at the time.

Edit: Also: Venus Fly Trap does not have legs to move. It technically does move, but it’s still pretty much stationary relative to the ground. the 植 in 植物 (plants) basiclly includes the character 植, meaning “to plant”/“to establish”, so anything within the 植物 category cannot relocate itself (excluding via reproduction, spreading seeds, which doesn’t count for this purpose).

Also, doesn’t sea cucumbers move? I mean, snails are animals, theres no confusion about that lol.

I think language plays a factor in how you think.

When I think of the English word “Animal”, I think of a picture of a deer or a cow in a textbook. When I think in Chinese, 动物, I extrapolate the meaning of the word, 动 which means “moving”, and 物 meaning “object”, 动物 = “moving object”, so its easy to know what is and isn’t a 动物 (animal), the word is self-explanatory.

This is where the Chinese Language comes to shine. Animal, 动物, literally “moving object”, so if it has roots (aka: plants, fungi), it cannot move on its own, therefore, not a 动物, Animal.

Like the words are self-explanatory, so beautiful.

(Please excuse me for interjecting my knowledge of the Chinese Language into everything lolz)

hehehe

FPTP means de facto 2 party system.

The democraric party is really just an uneasy coalition between many different parties in a big trench coat labeled “Democratic Party”, pragmatic leftists are usually in the Democraric party, but not all Democrats are on the “left”.

How massively complicated are they thinking to make this that people are not “coerced” into installing?

“Please present your ID and wait for a party member to inspect and approve your installation package. Glory to Arstozka!”

Something something “To bEtTEr pRoTeCt our users, please present your ID to enable sideloading”

Any day now…

Lol its like the Americans going “I’ll just move to China”…

Me as a someone who was born in mainland China and gained US Citizenship:

I’m East Asian… how “PoC” am I on the “PoC Scale”? 🤔

God help us,

this is a suicide carriage, but I guess its useful for when I lose the will to live lol

But, does this make me immune from getting grabbed by a bunch of armed masked men? 🧐
