China is so fucking great. Japan is so uptight by comparison. I want to go back to China...

They absolutely do not. It's provided vast quantities of harmless joy.

Yeah. Not only that, but if there is some sort of quantum state that represents the you that is you, beyond just your memories, but literally down to the spins of sub atomic particles that make you up, and you are able to transfer that state one way, making it appear exactly somewhere else (and presumably causing the state to cease to exist where it started), I'm happy to consider that full blown teleportation, no death whatsoever. You weren't deconstructed at point a and rebuilt at point b, you literally teleported.

I'm of the opinion that it doesn't really matter. My consciousness ends every time I fall unconscious.

Ah yes, they demonstrate my use case in the getting started section. I am an arrogant fool.

If it brings about class consciousness at long last I'm all for it. Then we can eat Farage and his like

What a choooon

2 hours a day?! Go you, you fucking beast.

I run 25k a week and do about 100 crunches a day, maybe some pushups and resistance bands if I remember to. I tend to just listen to my body. 2 meals a day, usually a big meal in the evening and a small breakfast/lunch.

Protein post workout and a good mix of carbs, fibre and protein all the rest of the time.

Children of Ruin is a great book.

Sure... Any day now...

All this does is highlight to me how meaningless western democracy really is. For your vote to mean anything you you have to vote for one of two parties that will do nothing material to improve your own quality of life (unless you are rich), and who will both continue to participate in genocide and illegal wars to maintain the status quo. A system that in my eyes is deserving of overthrow.

I'd be voting third party or not at all. Seeing as a vote for either of the two main parties is seemingly just as pointless.

 

It's all a bit hectic, but it's fun just chatting with people, swapping food and smoking cigs on the platforms when the train stops every now and then.

The idea of being on a train for two days is just so fricking cool

There's the odd things that, with the best will in the world, I'm having a trouble buying on the Chinese high street. What Chinese app (Amazon like) do I need to use to get something delivered to a hotel in China?

 
 

Anyone else have the issue when using jerboa that when they try to change input language (by holding the space button) the selection menu just flashes up and then disappears?

Somewhat annoying.

 

Friend just made me aware of this ongoing shittery in the UK. Ongoing demonstration in London at the moment. I said I would spread the word.

Pretty sure this is straight up illegal.

 
 

To be used sincerely or ironically. When something is just incredibly fascinating... and modern.

I'm leaning towards yes, because despite their inclusivity and the general feel-good vibes of the stories, the characters themselves flirt with police brutality quite a bit, and who knows exactly what they get up to in their lives outside the novels.

Any more nuanced views from my fellow hexbearians (and lemmings)? I'm slightly less articulate than Detritus on a hot day, and I wonder how much the politics and views of Terry Pratchett comes up in leftist discourse.

 

Hi all,

I've been learning Mandarin for just over 6 months but I am having trouble with my listening comprehension. Does anyone have any good resources for listening practice? I am looking for HSK 1/2 level stuff. I basically just need to immerse myself in as much content as I possibly can until all this vocab and grammar starts to cement itself in my brain.

I already use Hello Chinese and a few other apps. Ideally I would just be looking for quick fire phrases and conversations that I can listen along to. Youtube has some stuff but the quality is always a bit up and down.

Thanks
