Hmm, my previous work must have had some exceptionally cheap product if it’s below McDonalds in standard. Iirc the ingredients mentioned it was something like powdered potato and palm oil. They tasted ok, texture when cooled down was like damp Pringles.
It was the only thing we imported from America
I thought that was for fresh/frozen house cut fries. Doesn’t processing the potato remove some of the nutritional value? Its been a while but I recall reading an article about mash from reconstituted potato powder having a far lower amount of potassium and vitamins than an equal amount of fresh.
I have witnessed the American diet. It mostly appears to be high fructose corn syrup drink, burger, fries and microplastics.
I would assume there is a small amount of vitamin C in ketchup and trace amounts in the lettuce on the burger. But I’m not sure how much you would have to consume to meet your daily intake.
Mongolian, just for preparation for when the Mongols rise again. It’s just a matter of time.
Huh, my friend absolutely abhors chiropractics. But I guess also all the family members who don’t listen to her and instead waste money to get their spines fucked with
Orthopaedic doctors hate chiropractors
As a Chinese person it’s actually really refreshing to not be inundated with western propaganda. Here’s some examples that come to mind:
The US quietly admitting the “Spy Balloon” did no spying several months and millions of dollars later.
People are actually moving into “ghost cities” as it pre-emptively neutralized a housing crisis before it began
China’s social credit system is actually extremely benign and fragmented while aiming to target businesses and businessmen, tracking bankruptcies, scams and reneged deals and so on.
But you’ll get people too propagandized to accept truth even if, for example, all the sources you provide are from reliable Western media
Huh, wonder who that’s for
The AI wasting hours of processing power having an internal struggle session re: outdoor cats before simply replying with “:pigpoopballs” on a platform that doesn’t have that emoji
Brb, double clicking ‘Netscape Navigator’ to go on ‘Ask Jeeves’ to look up what this “PewDiePie” is
PC towers that light up like a warehouse rave. I don’t need to signal to Rohan that my house calls for aid. It’s why I’ve stuck with a Fractal Design for the past 7 years.
The fancy light bullshit should be add-ons for people who want it, not baked in for everyone who don’t. And you just know they’re slapping a 200% premium on those shitty lights into the cost of the tower.
And the “Room Temperature” room, which is located in Greendale.
Trump’s not even bad by republican standards, he’s just vulgar and baffoonish. Replace him with Jeb! or Ron DeSantis or your garden variety Republican and you’d get the same defunding, same deregulation and same enshittification as him, just more subtle.
Come back when he’s killed a million Iraqi civilians over fictional WMDs or getting several million people addicted then dead over opioids by deregulating prescription.
He didn’t commit war crimes in Vietnam, spill over to Laos and Cambodia. Come back when he pardons the perpetrators of My Lai. Come back when he interns Japanese and nukes civilians. Come back when he Manifests Destiny.
Top 5 my ass
Taiwan and Palestine flag
??? Have you met the average Taiwanese?
Both leading political parties are pro Israel, as have the last half dozen presidents.
Don’t get me started on the average Ukrainian.
69% of Ukrainians side with Israel, 1% with Palestine and 30% both or neither)
Commiserating
Pringles aren’t legally chips because they’re made from mashed potato dough (as opposed to slices of potato), hence why marketing calls them crisps even in the US.
Reading that post, the OP linked an unsourced Imgur album with blatant lies like “10,000 people were incinerated and hosed down drains” spliced between actual photos of the protest is fucking wild. The 10,000 figure was reported once then immediately retracted, the fact that OP was posting blatant propaganda as fact was conveniently left out as “tankie censorship”.
Let’s put that into perspective: US intelligence officially puts the number below 900. The OP was saying it’s over 10,000. It’s an order of magnitude above the 3 letter agencies of the US.
.world posting about censorship when they preemptively censor any discussion about piracy is hilarious.
They were never even warned by authorities, one of the admins is paranoid and loves intellectual property.
“Tankie” in the traditional sense of someone who uncritically supports the USSR in the handling of 1956’s uprising? Probably not.
While Kruschev’s use of tanks in 1956 was heavy handed, the Hungarian alliance with the Axis in WWII and participation of Operation Barbarossa, lingering fascist sympathisers and nationalists remained in Hungary.
This coupled with the Communist Party of Hungary’s less than equitable redistribution of land/castles/other properties earlier in the 1950’s (favouring giving properties to ranking CPH members instead of distributing it to the proletariat equally). This created resentment for the Party, and an image of the Communists as no better than the Monarchy that came before or the Fascists that came after.
The Hungarian uprising had elements of fascist sympathisers, monarchists, bourgeoisie, etc but also legitimate critics of the handling of the situation. It never should have come to that, and a more educated/self critical Communist Party in Hungary could have prevented things from getting that far. The people should have benefitted a lot more from a better redistribution of wealth.
The above issues coupled with Soviet distrust of Hungarians (since they did invade the Soviet Union in the 40’s) led to a swift and harsh reaction towards the uprising, seeing it as just a reactionary revolt.
Now, am I a tankie in the Reddit redefinition, of anyone that critically supports Cuba, China, Vietnam and their style of government? Yeah, I suppose I am. This is no more radical a position than Malcolm X or the Black Panthers who also supported the late USSR, China and Cuba.
I remember that as a kid in China, my uncle would give me a stick of incense to ignite fireworks with to put some distance between my short ass 6 year old arms. And also, with the exception of the roman candles, they had to be placed on the ground and I wasn’t allowed to hold them.
