  • Lol their dad and my dad should hang out. My dad loves both Mao and Bill Clinton, in equal measure. He is literally a CPC party member (I assume expired but he still has his membership card) and is China’s biggest defender in the US, but he is also really proud of being an American. Like his dream is to have the two countries mutually agree to combine into one country.

    As you can imagine the recent ratcheting up of tensions has really dampened his mood.

    Also, one of his funnier crank opinions is that Portugal should have kept Macao becuase they bought it fair and square in the 16th century, but China should have invaded Hong Kong to show the British who’s boss.





  • White people fundamentally do not understand how spice works, like I have eaten hot wings where the only flavor is spicy, a chemical spicy flavor completely disconnected from nature whose sole purpose is to cause pain.

    Like in cuisines that have used spices for thousands of years, it’s understood that spiciness is meant to complement the other flavors used in the dish. Like there are hot-as-fuck Sichuan dishes that are nevertheless easy to eat becuase making it really hot isn’t the only consideration in the recipe.

    Like for the sake of white people we can’t let them have anymore exotic flavors. Think of what they will do to themselves if Sichuan peppercorns ever get really popular. They will create a tasteless chip with so much numbing power it will cause permenent jaw paralysis.














  • All of the factors which contributed to how deadly the fire at Lahaina ended up being were known years in advance, like the buildup of invasive grasses, poor planning and training, and the loss of agricultural land around the town which acted as fire breaks. In fact there had been several bills to improve wildfire resilience introduced in the Hawaii legislature in the last 5 years which ended up being voted down, often due to cost.

    Like this fire killed several hundred people, that is unheard of, you have to go back to the early 1900s for wildfires that deadly. That’s becuase we know how to slow wildfires when they get close to towns and how to effectively evacuate people. The fact that the Lahaina evacuation was so chaotic and that the fire could spread so quickly into town speaks to profound neglect by all levels of government.
