I think this mostly has to do with the extensive use of vegetables cooked in various tasty ways. Western dishes (specifically West European) seem to have very few good techniques to cook vegetables, leading white children to hate veggies. I think this is exacerbated in Britain and their Anglo-Saxon colonies (cue the meme about British food having no seasoning).

Also, proper Asian dishes tend not to actually use much oil. Stir frying only lightly coats the outside of food with oil, very different from western deep frying.

A reasonable objection. Many Muslims have associated LGBT and women’s rights with US meddling and influence, so they resolutely refuse to consider them.

I think a lot of this stems from the US history of screwing with Iran. Iran was somewhat open to women’s rights before the US couped their government in 1953 when their prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh tried to nationalize oil.

Under US puppet rule, Iran did implement some socially progressive policies.

After the Iranians revolted and took back control in 1979, they massively overcompensated and became extremely socially reactionary. Because of Iran’s significant influence in Islam, these views also propagated across many Muslims in the world.

Since Iran has been constantly under attack from the US, they haven’t really had any space to reconsider this view. I do think that once Israel is destroyed, and once the West loses its iron grip on the world, that Muslims and Iran will be able to reconsider their views.

Updated mirror with new articles on the subreddit wiki.

Is this called being a ‘social worker’ in English? If so, I wish you all the best! Social workers are quite mistreated and underpaid in the US despite playing such important roles in the community. I hope you find an org that actually cares about its social workers, and adequately supports you as you help others.

Americans don’t want to call them ‘Latins’ because that might imply some sort of relationship between them and the Romans, and that’s not allowed because they’re from shithole countries, and America is the rightful heir to the Roman throne or whatever.

Thanks so much! This helps a lot.

Thanks comrade! Did you manage to save the sources he posted for each video? Or should I check normal archive.org for them?

In America, the terms Latino, Latinx, and Hispanic refer to basically anyone from any country in the Americas that is below the United States, geographically and ‘culturally’. It’s essentially a label Americans use to say, " oh you’re from one of THOSE shithole countries".

The great great grandson of a Spanish conquistador who massacred thousands of indigenous people to claim his own plantation is considered the exact same as the granddaughter of an indigenous person on the receiving end. Both are called Hispanics, making the word an utterly meaningless label.

Gitee is China’s “independent, open-source code hosting platform” alternative to GitHub, intended to reduce dependence on GitHub.

Github has a history of cutting off service to non-U.S.-aligned countries. For example in 2019 GitHub cut off certain services from users in U.S.-sanctioned countries including Iran, Syria, and Crimea.

This is a great policy. This forces Chinese internet companies to provide ways to prevent youth digital addiction, unlike in the West where anything goes.

The parent opt-out policy is a good thing. Some youth may be under special circumstances (esports gamer, mobile developer, etc.).

I didn’t know that the youth gaming policy was also opt-out. Everyone in the west omitted that said that it was mandatory, and that seemed pretty over the top. Since both are opt out, this is a very reasonable policy.

The West blockaded MRI technology to China? WTF does that have to do with national security?

Buy the time you save for 10 months, you can just save a couple more months and buy the newly released upgraded version of that GPU.

Blue Java bananas are freaking amazing. They’re actually blue, and taste like berry ice cream. I don’t get why we don’t grow more of them.

Sorry to Bother You (2018) is the most on-the-nose communist film I have ever watched. It’s written by communist activist Boots Riley. The Wikipedia synopsis should give a good idea of how great it is:

The film follows a young black telemarketer who adopts a white accent to succeed at his job. Swept into a corporate conspiracy, he must choose between profit and joining his activist friends to organize labor.
