Ain't there a bit of vinegar involved too?

E: eh most the recipes I'm seeing online indicate no vinegar at all, but I'm seeing some that call for a little white pepper in addition to brown mustard powder.

I looked at the ingredients on a packet from my local chinese takeout place - its mainly mustard, distilled vinegar, and preservatives.

The official lines are

- They need the extra peace keeping force there due to local terrorist threats
- They are part of Chinese, like how there are 56 different kind of ethnicity within Chinese
- If you want to support them so much, why dont you try giving your own native (US/AU/Canada) land back to the natives who were there before you??

It was my understanding that using triple quotes on the internet in 2018 meant that you were signifying that a word was a euphemism.

I'm not accusing the so-called (here, is this better?) moderate rebels of being Jews. I know they're Islamists.

I wasn't trying to imply that you were alluding to a Jewish consipiracy like Twitter nutjobs, just that the shitloads of quotations marks brings that to mind and makes you look equally unhinged.

I read 'The Heroic Return of the Green Turtle' comic in the library the other day while waiting for my cousins to finish some stuff. It was good. I liked the mom character pushing her son into becoming a superhero despite having no powers. The best parts of Mom character was her shoving her son into puddles of radioactive materials and introducing him to dangerous diseases in order to make him a superhero.

I like that the revival comic did something with the Mysterious Turtle Shadow, and laughed when it turns out the father made a deal with Turtle Shadow to stop drinking. The reverse Shanghai-ing was a cool, realistic way to get the main character's family to America.

You should give it a go if you like very short comic book stuff and need to kill like a half hour or so.

I mean it really comes down to the fact that you can't justify acts of genocide. I don't doubt the information we're able to get is warped, and I also don't doubt some of the warping is to make up or exaggerate government abuses because that's how propaganda works. I just think it's foolish to act like the government being the government gives it the right to do whatever to citizens. How legitimate a government is actually has nothing to do with how morally or ethically sound a particular action is.

EDIT: If the thing you're worried about is that people rushing to arm Uighur rebels are going to accidentally end up supporting extremist terrorism targeting innocent people out of simplified naivete, just say that. But members of an ethnic group committing extremist terrorism doesn't justify harsh mistreatment of the group as a whole.

That being said I wouldn't be surprised if whatever organization is actually committing terrorist acts is able to use this to leech funds off of people who are trying to help the group as a whole, because I'm pretty sure that's happened with other terrorist groups. It's good to do research before picking out how to help.

I checked his posts, he's apparently with a Hong Kong based tour group so I would assume they are avoiding any trouble areas. His last picture was from the Gobi desert, no idea how close that is to any of the craziness.

We got one of these next to my apartment and I tried the "Taiwan style" with the giant fried white-flour bread thing taking up 99% of the space and it sucked, because of the giant fried white-flour bread thing taking up 99% of the space. It owned without it, though.

Google tells me it's called a "youtiao." I avoid that kind of stuff, so now I know the name. They took a big one, cut it in half so it was a huge block and then wrapped everything around it.

Never seen somebody put youtiao in a jianbing here, lol. Maybe it’s a regional thing from some other part of Taiwan.

Sorry, I'm flustered because there has been some really sensationalist writing in major news outlets (including the Economist, of all loving places) within the past few months about claimed Chinese abuses in Xinjiang, and I'm paranoid that it's just going to be used as justification to Syrianize Xinjiang. The pieces usually either gloss-over or straight-up omit the fact that Uyghur Islamists are under increased scrutiny because of terrorist attacks that they perpetrate on the Han, and that the whole East Turkestan independence movement is orchestrated from Turkey.

I'm not going to pretend that the Han Chinese treat Uyghurs well, but it's not just lazy racism that leads the CPC to lock-down Xinjiang.

Tat Tsui, spokesman for the group of Chinese tourism operators, said unlicensed operators see tourists from China as easy targets.

He believes most of the unlicensed operators are international students from China, and most of the advertisements by unlicensed operators are listed on China-based apps such as huangbaoche.com.
