> Lots of people use 哥, 弟弟, 妹妹, 姐姐 (literally older brother, younger brother, younger sister, older sister) to mean their friendship group, although this is probably a result of the impact of the one child policy. Use…
Considering the article doesn’t link to the post in question, or even show a screenshot, I hardly find this to be a compelling anecdote. This portion of the article loses even more credibility since the author clearly…
The arrest of the Michaels may or may not have been justified, but they were hardly average Canadian tourists. To put this into context: Michael Kovrig is a former diplomat who at the time of his arrest worked for…
For fans of action films, I recommend this series on YouTube called “Stuntmen React” where they bring on stunt professionals to react to and break down famous action scenes. It’s an entertaining watch, and I enjoy…
Assuming you’re using “overpopulation” to refer to California’s housing shortage, this is not a “too many people” issue or a “not enough land issue”, but rather a “land isn’t being used efficiently” issue. Efficiently…
Admissions data at UC Berkeley shows that nonresident students have historically been ~35% of admits, with 2022 at 28%. UCLA historically has had ~40% nonresident admits, with 2022 at 34%[0]. UCLA’s freshman profile…

This would be more interesting for discussion if the comment described an actual threat scenario instead of a vague hypothetical. Even in the hypothetical, there’s no actual described consequence, only that China gains…
This is nitpicking, but part of what makes the Key & Peele sketch funny is that the two recipes the cafe owner describes appear to be the exact same. I read it as poking fun at extreme nationalism creating artificial…
This would be a valid point if it wasn’t for the fact that you can go to China and ride on a high speed train to see for yourself. Failing that, you can watch one of the many vlogs in which people take HSR to get around…
“Indian food” itself is a major generalization given its variety of regional cuisines. You can say the same thing about Italian food. In this case, people’s preconceptions are typically just ill-informed.
Chinese regulation around generative AI isn’t yet formalized, including provisions for censorship. The Cyberspace Administration of China published a set of draft measures[0] for public comment, but it doesn’t seem like…
