Apparently someone who drives an off-road-capable vehicle exclusively on-road.

lol ok. I'm about to get high right now, while I'm actively on the clock at my high-paying job, in case you were wondering.

Children of the future will demand to know our excuses for the lack of terror

What I see is a lot of cope

You said there weren't 1.3 billion people in China who supported the PRC. Harvard says you were wrong. We're not talking about the minutiae of Chinese governance here, we're talking about foreign policy.

PS: If you dig into the numbers (page 3 of the report, aka page 6 in the PDF), 70% of people are fairly or very satisfied with their township governments, so don't be taken in by the Harvard cope--it really is bullshit.

lol try again

In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing.

I wish I knew, but it's hard to get a visa, so I'm stuck in my shithole country (United States).

Hate to break it to you, but even the US state department recognizes that there's no such country as Taiwan. Please call it by its correct name, "Chinese Taipei," so people know what you're talking about.

Taiwan? I think you mean Chinese Taipei.

Apparently you're new to Lemmy. It used to run on Websockets, meaning that the page would update in real time. Meaning that every so often you'd be reading something and it would move to somewhere else, or off the page entirely. They recently ditched Websockets, so that doesn't happen anymore.

Yeah I don't appreciate being made to agree with an admin of Beehaw--it leaves a bad taste in my mouth--but there is absolutely no good reason to link to Nazi shit on join-lemmy, full stop.
