Accented Cinema is good for Asian film

On the western “far”-left maybe…

I’m glad you got your pre-seethe in before they show up

Ulysses seethes, tikka masala stays winning

Of course not. My point is just that online casual speech mimics in-person speech in a way that pre-internet written communication didn’t. Online we often write more like we speak, and emoji are there to replace facial expressions which are absent otherwise. In the past, written communication was slower and/or more formal so more care could be put into using words alone, but no one’s spending hours sentence-crafting in an online chat room.

Humans absolutely have not been having instantaneous casual conversations through text for thousands of years though. The needs of written communication have changed since the internet.

That’s called justice.

Start smoking. It’s quieter out there and you’ve got a built-in conversation starter (“do you have a lighter.”)

Bars or weird niche sports. Join a frisbee golf team or something. No one expects quality from you and people are generally good.

China’s control over information is just too strong smdh

That’s not a common question on Xinjiang. What’s common is westerners claiming that hiring Uyghurs at all is automatically slave labor.

That said, we still should boycott them, at least in principle.

Why?
