Such a great design. I hope that there are plans to put in some of that freaky modulated voice in there

I think what they are getting at is that an animal tends to not want to run into a spear, so I'm thinking there might be some trickery involved such as concealing the spear or rapidly bringing it to bear

I'd also argue that roads aren't getting faster

Why did they give the Muslim a longer sentence? Oh wait I know why

I'm guessing you can do the old trick of lying them flat and then jerking them up at the perfect moment with rope. Or as the article says, have balls of steel and let the animal charge you, planting the spear at the very last moment

Li Qiang is a very nice beer by the way. Yes I know, different Li, different Qiang.

You know tibet was a feudal slave state before right? It made sense that, whilst throwing off their own shackles, they popped next door and got rid of those liege lords as well. You also know that the only people from Hong Kong who actually complain are rich business owners upset that they can't exploit the poor like they could under British rule?

Taiwan was been a nationalist hold out ruled under a military dictatorship for most of its existence. Their leadership does not represent the will of the Chinese people, they are literally just a US puppet.

They will reintegrate with the mainland peacefully, despite western attempts to stir up a regional war. All the US can offer is blood and subjugation under capital. China offers progress and peace.

I really enjoyed Monkey Man, Late Night With The Devil, The Blackening, Poor Things and the Whale. That's just off the top of my head.

I know they aren't really blockbusters by any stretch, but it's rare to get a blockbuster that is also a non slop movie. These are all films that showed on my local cinema though, and they were all great. I hate cape shit and avoid most slop, except the odd guilty pleasure. To be honest I thought the Dune adaptation was really good and that was rather popular. So add that to my slop wall.

I have my girlfriend to thank for dragging me out to see these films and it has made me realise that I was being rather snobbish in the past. There's a lot of good stuff out there if you just go out and watch it. You won't always be amazed but you'll be surprised what you do end up liking.

China is not going to invade you fucking war mongering ghouls. They literally have no need to.

 

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
