provides healthcare for all its citizens

Their private healthcare is actually one of my biggest criticisms of China; despite the Tories best efforts, the UK has a superior healthcare system.

That and putting TCM in pharmacies like real medicine. I accidentally performed a blind test when I went to what looked like a real pharmacy for allergies and they gave me what looked like normal pills, in a blister pack inside a cardboard box, just like normal medication, and then after 2 days of them having zero effect, read the ingredients and saw it was bear bile and a dozen other random things.

Modern machines produce a human-readable paper ballot, and we can do exit polling to check for statistical anomalies, us election integrity probably isn’t attacked at the voting machine level.

At least since the 2000s or so.

France has its own empire, not every extension of capitalism is an extension of the US.

You make a bunch of friends, drift away and check back in 5 years later and find out half of them are women now.

They used to run surface level freight trains on 3rd Avenue, and in some other cities.

Are RVs illegal in the EU? This doesn’t look bigger than those, just dumber.

“Why is he walking around yelling my name? Well in any case he seems to be enjoying himself, I shouldn’t interrupt”

The article criticizes both the notion of children being taught Brexit was economically stupid and that chinese students have a positive impact on Britain, among other equally xenophobic points.

I am not misrepresenting anything, I am mocking the writer and anybody who accepts this conservative horseshit uncritically.

the article puts this in a completely different context.

No it doesn’t, you just don’t like that I’m critical of your silly xenophobic article.

Oh no, we can’t have children indoctrinated to believe Brexit was a dumb decision and that the best and brightest coming over is beneficial to the history country.

I got yelled at by police for not moving over to the shoulder when not passing.

Motorcyclists: I should put my balls there.

Yeah no I’ll take a bike in SEA over a car in the US any day. I have never once seen road rage.

I did have a bunch of minor accidents when I first started, learning stuff like “green does not mean you’re safe”, “chickens are suicidal bastards”, and “do not move behind a heavy truck on an incline at a red, it might be driven by a 14 year old who doesn’t know to put the ebrake on”.

I was over there for 3 weeks couple months ago. I left because its too hot.

Be careful on the roads, I saw so many guys drop bikes in intersections, with an unhelmeted child in his lap, and one time pulled a guy from a truck wreck, I got there on my bike before anyone else, no idea if he survived. My friend came across a fatal accident in his bus too.

Why so aggressive?

Paywall

Can other instances do that?

How do you like Beijing? The scale is kinda insane. “OH I’ll just take the subway” and its like 5 hours.

America has like 3 real cities, nyc, Chicago, DC, Boston.

If you need a car to get around you don’t have a city, you have an overgrown suburb.

I use didi when I need to book a ride, but that’s almost never given how ubiquitous and cheap meituan ebikes or scooters are, when subways, trains, and buses fail me.

You pay like 2 dollars and then you can ride yellow escooters for 15 cents for 20 minutes for 10 days or bicycles literally free for a month. Only works for the city you buy it in btw.

Some buses don’t come up in amap btw, I have to ask around.

Transnational trains don’t show up in any app, you have to book them at the station they depart from, cash only.
