Just a brief update on the situation in northwestern Russia. Various local private schools have closed and there are rumors that public schools might be next. The border with Belarus was recently closed as well. That last bit is a big deal because Belarus is part of the Union State with Russia. Some of my classes were cancelled (I teach English) due to concerns about the virus (bye bye paycheck - safety is more important, however!) The unflappable Russian expression of dull surprise to anything hasn't faltered. Suffering is basically second nature to these people.
Lots of people say stuff like "Ugh, kids are the worst; they don't know any respect!"
Yeah, well, look at the adults that set the example for them. Adults aren't any better. In fact, I think they're worse, because they should know better.
I feel like this is a “that happened.” I hope this is a “that happened” because this is not how you should be talking to your children about this. You give them facts and tell them the truth, but you don’t try to scare them like she clearly is.
Number 10 is now giving daily briefings which are being live streamed to keep everyone informed, but I saw a lot of it seemed to be repeats of the previous days talking points reinforced
I would love to know how long this has been seriously on the radar. Because if I was the CMO or had the ear of anyone in government, we’d have been prepping since the Virus was identified as SARS2.0. I’m cautiously happy with Boris so far but concerned if this hasn’t been a priority since January. It was completely predictable. Shouldn’t we have people whose job it is to identify emerging threats?
We will see how the uk response pans out. We need to lockdown first, stabilise then go from there, the gradual shutdown, I see why they’re doing it but it’s risky as hell and it will push up fatalities. Stabilise first, then turn the tap on a little.
This clearly never happened, my prediction is that this nogunz family won't survive, Susan and her kid will both be raped culturally enriched and their shit looted. EDIT: lol, ninjad twice.
Italian law enforcement authorities say they have been seizing hundreds of thousands of masks either counterfeited or illegally sold on the market.
Last week, law enforcement authorities ordered the closure of a pharmacy in Naples.
The pharmacy is accused of selling masks and other medical products at a price up to 6,000 percent higher than their fair market value, police said
Depends what you mean by kids. Teenagers? If they're responsible enough then yes - teach them gun safety, drive it into their heads like there's no tomorrow and promise them armageddon if they ever access your gun without your presence / approval. But by "kids" I usually mean pre-teens and whilst I might teach them about guns under extreme supervision, there's no way I want one trying to play hero. If there's an intruder my ten year old is not to go looking for the gun to rescue daddy. She's to get under the bed and hide or go out the back door and run to a neighbours. What is it about guns that make everyone read what you wrote in the worst possible way. Someone said they had no experience with guns but were thinking about getting one. I told them if they did, plan to only use it for scaring someone off and make damn certain kids can't access it. That's sound advice and I'm sticking to it.
An experiment held in Texas by police officers and parents had some interesting findings.
Police put a fake gun which could not be fired in a room and then let eight children into the room. It took a child just 15 seconds to find the gun. With parents and law enforcement watching, the children were passing the fake weapon around, aiming it and attempting to shoot it.
While the result might not be surprising to most, the children who didn’t touch the weapon were children whose families have guns inside the home and have explained the dangers and responsibilities of guns.
Lol at assigning levels of blame to various countries on their responses. China and its 5,000 years of glorious history and culture bears sole responsibility for this disaster. You will never see weird new viruses coming out of Burgerland, the UK, or Germany because those countries don't slaughter exotic (and often endangered) species in close, profoundly unhygienic quarters. Despite the fact that mainland Chinese consider themselves vastly superior to all other races, they're no better than the hei ren in Africa who devour bush meat in this regard. At least Africa has food shortages. For the CCP not to have banned these markets is fucking lunacy and all of them deserve to be punched in their tiny dicks for it.
Oh yeah and Tibet is not, has never been, and will never be part of China, you faggots.
The US does have some weird illnesses. Mostly tickborne stuff. With how bad heroin use is in some places, I could see a weird mutation of a bloodborne illness happening. Most of this stuff doesn't leave the US, though. It certainly isn't China bad outside of maybe drug dens in terms of hygiene.
On that note; I've heard rumors that some rural IPs have turned off their artificial bandwidth chokes.... which might account for my baud-rate being faster than it's been since 2003.
This can be tested by just setting the year to 2038. Do not do that on anything you aren't willing to potentially bork, though. It pretty much kills 32 bit Android devices.
The USS Comfort’s home port is Norfolk. It just finished an extended tour down in South America. It was parked off Venezuela for months. It comes home for crew rotation and work ups, refit and resupply etc. I think it is entering or in a refit cycle.
now more interesting is that USS Mercy is also in her home port in San Diego. Both ships being in port for part of the year is not that unusual. Their deployment on overseas humanitarian missions depends on budgets. Budgets that are among the first to be slashed. But don’t rule out that they have both been brought home to aide in domestic needs. But they also just received orders for lifecycle expansion to 2035. So they may both be in for refit for that. This would be a good time to do it as they have the USS Ford floating around doing work ups. While it’s not ready to be a frontline carrier yet, it has a full floating hospital on board.
By 'gypsies do fine' I assume you mean that gypsies are a low enough percentage of the population that few of their victims are able to identify them as such?
lol or it could mean that since we barely noticed whatever microculture from the Balkans they are and just shrugged and thought the costumes were cool. We actually have the BIGGEST population of Romani in the world, with each Balkans nation having less than us individually.
Despite our history with racism, we are pretty good at building a common culture. Kinda like your shithole country was in integrating turkic tribesmen and arabs even with its centuries long decline.
I always love the using children for shields/attention measure, since the proper response was indeed r/thathappened or to just mock the parent even harder and ignore the kid.
I really doubt they are going to give a grand to every man, woman, child and illegal in the US.
If they do it by household it will be closer to $128,000,000,000.
Wow, now Trump and his lackeys want to give Americans $1,000 to recover from the mess that his own incompetence created. I have a student loan payment due on Tuesday from my $100K masters in women’s history from Tufts, and my coffee shop in Brooklyn just closed down and laid me off. A measly grand isn’t going to fucking help when I’m unemployed, broke, with no food and am wiping my ass with recycled Kleenex because the trump administration can’t even keep the toilet paper supply chain flowing.
An update on the working from home situation. Work for a large corporate with locations across the globe. Normally working from home is fine but had lots of trouble today. The voip app we use just wasn't working, connecting to the company network/VPN was a huge ass pain and kept dropping off. At one point we got a company wide email saying the voip service was stressed by the amount of remote connections and completely broke down for the whole of Europe.
In theory I have a job that can be done remotely but not if the company's IT infrastructure shits the bed. Anyone have similar issues? Any IT people here - can millions of people working remotelly stress consumer grade internet to breaking point?
what's really funny is I have another old phone that doesn't have sim card and I just use it as a thing to watch synchtubes on in the kitchen, but that one gets Amber Alerts while it's turned off
We were always DIY freaks wearing out guitars, brewing weird shit, and hoarding suspiciously useful trash in basements since we were out of diapers. Most X's worthy of the name decided it wasn't worth bothering any of the other idiots, hunkered down in the familiar cellar a week and a half ago, and about nine months from now we'll see an explosion of weirdly unclassifiable music compilations being sold on internet music sites.
Get ready for some hard truths, this is the real China... DOCUMENTARY LINKS: Conquering Southern China: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/conqueringsouthernchina Co...
Oh it's this guy who whinged endlessly about nationalism and racism again? The guy that gets "nuanced Chinanet politics" off fucking Weibo of all places, and goes on extended lengths virtue signalling against people exercising their God's given right to use the word nigger? That other video gave me a massive globalist vibe, is he a globalist?
People who legally migrate from China eat as much weird shit as locals, or else none of them would have made it out of the country. If the eating habits were true and the idea of bringing savage behaviour into foreign land is valid, then we'd be seeing missing pets and wildlife.
What I'm getting at is this...
It's very easy to cherrypick shit when it comes to the 4th largest country by landmass that has 1.4 billion inhabitants. The bell curve tells us at least a good 20% are low IQ savages, so that's 0.3-0.4 billion, or 10 USAs. Common sense falls apart when it comes to such populations of retards.
Lots of stuff, such as wealth and living standards follow the same kind of rule. Also usually coastal cities are the most developed, while inland is the worst. Undeveloped doesn't necessitate impoverished. Chinese state media CCTV has plenty of documentaries about poverty in China. This guy isn't doing anything new. Nothing is ground breaking. I'm unimpressed.
So let's see... we have some shitty bridges that will tumble if the typical American walks on it. We have kids traversing dangerous terrain, we have fucking gliders. We have some shitty mud houses that looks as if it came out of Wakanda, and some child drinking water that may or may not be contaminated...
I'm pretty sure simply looking up poverty on Chinanet, using some google translated phrases would yield imagery that's at least 10 times worse.
Now compound this by 40, add in a lower average GDP too (lol just a bit higher than Mexico). Nothing in his video should be surprising.
Him travelling in China neither adds nor deducts his credibility. I've been in the same position, I've seen equally bad or worse shit. I sperged about experiencing the slaughter of dogs and yaks in previous posts, not gonna do it again.
"They don't want you to see?" Really, cmon. Are we so stupid, we can't even use google translate and look up shit on baidu? I don't know what his motives are, there's a clear market when it comes to licking Winnie's paws or taking away his honeypot, so it's very likely the money. There's simply no neutral source when it comes to "juggernaut nations".
However it is pretty sad. There's kids in China that have to play irl Assassin's Creed to get to school, while the ones in tier 1 cities compete for "who has the most brand name shit". This dumb shit starts even in primary school. Back when Yugioh was big, there's rich kids who have full decks of expensive original cards that will mock and look down on those who play fake cards just for fun. Even the smelly trading card game nerds are fucking punchable. This isn't some dumb shit I saw online, some friends and I were laughed at for playing fake nerdy cards in year 5. That's fucking gay.
I'd actually love to make videos sharing my own experiences and showing hilarious Chinese textbooks, but that's pretty gay, very autistic and far too much powerlevel. I like to see myself as neutral, however I'm full of biases.
I hate the ideology of communism while I like how China selects their politicians, which I mostly dislike anyway, which I also admire when it comes to the ability to build infrastructure, and then China isn't communist so I actually don't dislike the party for communism related stuff. I want Taiwan to be recognised as a country, yet I got sick at those HK protests which I actually supported back when it's just umbrellas. I absolutely hate the idea of splitting a nation up, especially for virtue signalling purposes, even if it's China (Taiwan is disputed, we're talking about Xinjiang/Uygurs having their Islamic rule, first thing they'll do is genocide the Hans and other minorities that don't subscribe to their belief, such as Christians). Tiananmen Incident I see as morally wrong, but then I simply can't think of a better response, since we're talking about molotov cocktails being tossed at people in the army. So the best solution is to stay off YouTube and Twitter. Just be easy going.
Assassin's Creed: Getting to school as a China boy (there's plenty more, I'd like to say it looks fun... poor kids) Videos
Plenty videos criticising the consumption of dog meat, so it's not as savage as one might think.
There's even an old saying of 掛羊頭賣狗肉, hanging the head of a sheep but selling the meat of dogs, which is a fancy idiom for "scamming". People ate dog meat in the ancient days because it's cheap.
If you think dog meat is too meh for China, how about civet/raccoons? That guailao globalist showed one, zhee shhhhh sheee mehhhh dongg wooooo? https://search.bilibili.com/all?keyword=果子狸

People who do waman studies/libtard arts etc useless and shit degrees that does not advance humanity deserve to drown in debt and work at some hippie shithole coffeehouse for Eternity.
Journo fucks can follow their footsteps, but into a volcano instead.
Seriously, zero savings? Yeah I know the comment is a joke... but I just had to take the bait.
