A podcast years ago. A cursory search confirms that modern chewing gum has a “gum base” that contains food safe plastic polymer. Old school ones are made from gum from trees, but that hasn’t been economically viable for like a century.

Most of it will decompose but other parts either gets buried in a landfill or gets burned where the smoke goes into the sky and turns into stars.

Isn’t gum really bad for the environment? Like the rubber part decomposes but the plastic part just doesn’t? Not saying pacifiers aren’t plastic and rubber, but they’re reusable at least

One vote for yes, one vote for no, and one vote for “it was OK”.

On the backburner for when I have nothing else to do, I guess.

Aight when my monthly data resets, I’ll dedicate some bandwidth to it.

Is it worth the watch or nah?

It’s the opposite of achieving nirvana. Instead of being at one with everything, it’s being at odds with everything.

KIROV REPORTING

The bus and metro passes are literally transferrable because they’re just a token not tied to any ID. Also they accept cash, and you can buy passes at a kiosk.

I have personally even purchased a metro ticket for another person because we were going somewhere together and they left theirs at home. Within the last 2 weeks.

You have been lied to. There are no WMDs in Iraq, MSG isn’t toxic, and Napoleon wasn’t short either, if you just blatantly swallow everything you see.

I live in China. You put ¥2 into the slot and you get on. You can be wearing a fully balaclava, a face mask, or nothing. No-ones running ID on you to make sure your magical score is high enough before you are allowed to get on. You can get a transit token so you can tap on if you’re cashless. They’re sold without ID checks, foreigners can get them without speaking a word of Mandarin.

You have been lied to and now you’re repeating those lies on the internet without even getting paid.

I literally live in China. The scores apply to businessmen and not the average citizen. China isn’t North Sentinel Island, you can literally come here.

When they reference Xi negatively they use Palpatine or some literary villain as a comparison. Using a yellow bear beloved by most of the world seems counter productive. Imagine if people compared Hitler to Charlie Chaplain due to likeness and not, say, Satan.

Not if they’re foreign enough

I don’t trust the “benevolent superhero” trope because realistically, you may get some Batmen, you’d get twice as many Banes and then a statistically small but present number of Jokers. That’s not even accounting for a Freeze style situation where someone is committing crimes to fund a relatively justifiable cause and your Ivy’s who are doing a net positive for the world but the methods are technically illegal.

“stopantisemitism”

This group is so antisemitic they snubbed Norm Finkelstein. Surely the author(s) of this list should be on this list for such an antisemitic act.

See, poor student drowning in debt? These people are having a mediocre vacation! Don’t look up how much money the publishing companies make btw

Images of a modest middle class vacation

FBI: this should make you feel bad, that modest middle class vacation is at the cost of the publishing company CEO’s second yacht being smaller than he promised his children. It doesn’t even have a helipad!

The joke is that a clueless American signed up for the wrong IRA but end up agreeing with the anti-British rhetoric

Man I hate what EA did to the PvZ franchise after the initial success. Such potential

.world pre-emptively blocked them (twice) because they’re nerds they’re hosted in the EU and they thought they’d get in trouble by association for being federated with instances that promotes discussion of something illegal in their physical server’s jurisdiction. They had a lot of traffic. The db0 comm is still alive.

太丢脸了。

Like this is deeply embarrassing. Nancy Pelosi kneeling while wearing Kente Cloth levels of embarrassing. It shows OP doesn’t have any close Chinese friends and also demonstrates a reddit headline level of understanding of China; Hong Kong is not behind the firewall, HKers can (and often do) post this picture.

As a Chinese person, the mental image of OP smugly posting this to “own the tankies” in the same way MAGA dipshits post “Let’s Go Brandon” hoping to own the liberals has given me a near lethal amount of second hand cringe.

Please, for the love of god, never approach a Chinese person with this attitude irl. This is on par with ordering an “Irish Car Bomb” in an Irish pub on St. Patricks day, or saying “grassy-ass” to your Hispanic server instead of “thank you”, or trying to use anime Japanese around Japanese people, or code switching to AAVE around black people.
