EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing System) is a pretty common exterior treatment, basically a cheap synthetic stucco. The combustibility of the foam is a known property and usually the other components of the system like the coating, backing, and mesh are selected to mitigate that. Like I wouldn't be shocked if that building is a deathtrap, but its more complex than just "lol foam."

Did you see what was behind that foam? The building looks like it's made out of loose rocks and mesh.

All of the exterior moulding on most of the casinos in Vegas is styrofoam covered with some kind of epoxy shell and painted. Almost none of it is actual stone or concrete unless it's a flat wall. If you walk out of the Flamingo toward the parking garage you can see a bunch of pieces that have been busted off because people often drag their luggage through there a lot and some of the moulding is low enough that luggage is going to bang into it.

Okay this settles it. The People's Daily Rene Chang cannot be the British surgeon guy.

The only question is, is this a parody account or did the Wumao Party steal Rene's identity?

2. While you are correct in saying that the society owns

3. You have not for a second demonstrated here why

4. I love the way that you equate "state" with "bureaucracy". Is that how you really feel about the state

Thanks for this, seems like an interesting channel. To take a break from all the usual crazy and ridiculous stuff, I decided to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gvGebn11sk
This is something that is definitely one of the most interesting and unique aspects of the Chinese culture, especially compared to the Western cultures.

From a few pages back, but where'd that "wearing a green hat" being a sign for being a cuckold come from? Sounds like it has an origin similar to having horns from English lit.

Also does his basically mean that people in China think Zelda is about trying to stop Ganon from doing Link's wife?

It has nothing to do with any kind of metaphor, it's just because "green hat" and "cuckold" are homonyms in Mandarin.

They do joke about that a little, yes. Zelda is super unpopular/unknown in China though.

It originates from laws to easily identify sex workers and their relatives. Here's the explanation from Sex, Law, and Society in Late Imperial China:

Wow there are a lot of crazy Rene Chang-types on Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianMasculinity/comments/3avi02/a_message_from_a_house_chink/

quote:

A strong China has implications in America. When push comes to shove, having a strong Motherland will do much to make any aggressors think twice about putting us in internment camps.
Look at the media, every story about China casts the country in a terrible light. Any good story is brushed aside without pause. If I were to formulate my worldview purely based on Western media, then the Chinese would be a sub-human species with no absolutely no morals and no care for animals, the environment or each other. It's frightening. I am constantly disgusted with the willing hypocrites that reside in /r/worldnews.

It's like Stormfront for frustrated Asian American males. The CCP should recruit them. They can probably just copy and paste their rants directly into China Daily.

It was part of an ad campaign for some plastic surgeon or something if I remember rightly but I more commonly saw it as a fake click bait article about how they divorced or sued each other for lying about having surgery.
