The moai is still the one I find most confusing. Who needs to refer to those on such a regular basis?

I see it as a symbol representing a society that hosed the environment they lived in until they all died so it's a good one for these days

I think theres some no guns in the border treaty they both follow so they just bludgeon each other to death with rocks instead.

Turns out criminals will respect gun laws after all.

I still thing 5G is a big dumb marketing ploy and won’t do anything for me.

It’s like the gillette school of unnecessary products.

Why have only 4Gs when you can have 5!!!

Biden “undoing the damaged relationship” with China is going to involve turning a blind eye to a lot of bad stuff would be my guess

Thread feng shui masters, is it true that if you tell someone the time of your birth that they can write your name, birthday, and time of birth onto a piece of paper and throw it in a fire, causing you do drop dead instantly? My wife is upset because I told my family when my kid was born.

Your wife thinks your family want to kill your kid

That reminded me, a lot of people who have no mandarin background probably don't realize but "no why" is a bad translation of a common phrase

No why is actually the perfect phrase and philosophical concept.

I think it's also interesting, (in general terms, not only in this particular CCP case), that they are cracking down on "feminine men", and not "masculine women".

This is not to say that the CCP culture warriors and gender defenders aren't against such horrible disharmony as short haired sport playing unmarried childless harlots. But more that they choose to go after, and publicly decry girlymen.

I suppose an argument for this could be that these pretty boys are more prominent in entertainment/social media etc. and are an easier target. Also that you target the "unwomanly" women in other, far more nasty and horrible ways than just banning them from TV.

That’s just standard misogyny. Manly women are fine as they aspire to be men. But there is nothing worse than being a woman so an effeminate man is an abomination
