Alright let’s go
places in oven
“Honey what’s that awful smell?”
“Who knows. Probably the neighbor’s leaf blower”
Five minutes go by
“It smells like cancer”
“Maybe they are sealcoating their driveway, I don’t know, stop asking me”
Twenty five minutes later
Opens oven
“Fuck”
Retching, coughing “Sweet baby Jesus, what the FUCK is that?! Melted plastic? On my new casserole dish?!”
“Open a goddamn window”
“Open all the fucking windows”
“Mommy why is the house stinky”
“Charlie go play outside”
“But Daddy–”
“I SAID GO OUTSIDE CHARLIE”
from outside “Daddy it smells out here too, the neighbors are doing something black to their driveway”
Maybe it’s gotten better in recent times…it was always disconnecting and needing to be restarted
But then you need to connect your IDE to the docker container. Doable, but often a PITA IME
The USSR had great success in many areas
The PRC struggled during the Great Leap Forward
You seem to be papering over the part where a shit ton of their own people died, so I don’t think this really works as a pitch. You’d need to find a way to ensure that mass death wouldn’t happen again, and then succinctly express it.
Mao was only about 70% good
Anyone who does mass executions is a fucking monster. Probably better to leave this out of the pitch.

No miming, no eye signals, one. Word.
Oh interesting, we always allow miming in Round 2. It’s a good way to “prime” your teammates for Round 3…but I could see why that’d be undesirable
Even the individual days go by so fast though
It’s also worth pointing out that this was sued in a copyright lawsuit some time ago. The wikipedia article mentions it, but here’s the slashdot discussion if you want to feel like stepping into a time machine: https://m.slashdot.org/story/158778
It caused a momentary panic when everyone realized that this thing runs the system clocks for everything everywhere, and if it got taken down by a copyright suit it would be disastrous for, well, everybody.
This is accurate lol
Your info is out of date, now the cia is pushing “cultural genocide” because “genocide” was remarkably uncredible. Remember the delegations of Muslim countries to the region?
Incredible if you believe tankie news sources, maybe?
Hong Kong was a British colony that is part of mainland China. They’re Chinese. Integrating them into the wider system is a step in erasing the legacy of colonialism in China.
Integrating…by force. Sounds like they are continuing the legacy of colonialism to me. “They’re Chinese” lol, they were perfectly happy existing with their freedoms intact. But I guess the CCP feels that they own all the Chinese people and have a right to subjugate them?
Literally name a country that doesn’t do this lol. Here in the US local police have off the books torture and indefinite detention facilities
There’s a difference between rogue behavior at a local scale and official policy at a country-wide scale.
Now if only they could do all that stuff without committing genocide, crushing Hong Kong, black-bagging dissidents, etc etc
Shhh if we tell them it hurts GDP, billionaires might start actually paying attention
Are you saying there’s a Balrog down there

Or God forbid a wash sale.
I tried my hand at trading options once (don’t do it kids) and ended up needing to mail 100 pages to the IRS (snail mail, like in an envelope)
I’ve heard a trendy thing now is to only label one present as from Santa, the rest are from Mom and Dad. That way kids don’t find out there’s a huge disparity when they go back to school
