Well, white people and apparently Latino men.

Honestly, it looks kind of terrible to me. Not to mention how unreadable text is since there's apparently no guaranteed contrast with black text due to the transparent backgrounds. I feel like I'm going crazy with all the random articles praising it.

"He's just joking!"

I was expecting it, but I'm still disappointed.

Where did you go? I've been considering it, but I'm not sure where I'd want to live since it feels like the world's on fire.

The problem with the battery is that it's glued in and requires basically destroying the foam it sits on, with no available replacement for the foam or specifications given AFAIK.

Also, if we're just talking anecdotes here, I have at least two Nintendo devices from the 2000s that ended up with swollen batteries. This has actually reminded me that I might need to check again.

I mean, it's clearly not meant to last decades given the battery situation.

I'm guessing it's to protect the rice farmers, since if the price decreases enough, they'll have to either produce other crops or do something else entirely. They're already having enough problems with people moving to cities, so I doubt they want to create even more incentive.

PLA/PAP Casualties

Summary is a truck flipped over, supposed friendly fire incident with a non-uniformed soldier, and a heart attack.

According to the linked page with PLA/PAP casualties, there were 15 verifiable deaths (PRC official number is 23). Half of them weren't directly caused by the protesters, and the other half occurred after troops first opened fire. Truly, I feel quite radicalized.

China's only really become comparable to the US in the past couple decades. Give it some time. Their increasingly heavy-handed posturing around Taiwan for instance seems to say they're well on their way.

I looked into this a while back and came to the conclusion that the dev didn't seem trustworthy. Also, just looking on the homepage, the images it showed me were a dildo with "4get" stuck on it using a sticky note and a modified manga panel about beating women. Not sure I'd want to use something like that in public.
