the thing with the Falun Gong is you have to be able to put on your Soviet hat to be able to interpret them aka using a deeper level of political inspection than most Americans are familiar with

You have to be able to tease apart the fundamentalist new age religion aspect, the anticommunist aspect, the reasons the CCP might not like them very much because they are a fundamentalist new age religion, the reasons the CCP might not like them because they're an anticommunist group, and the reasons the CCP might not like them very much because of just the nature of the CCP and a marxist-leninist-maoist organization in general

i understand the CCP is mad with them but I don't really care. There's lots of fundamentalist religious weirdos on earth, and I honestly don't care about them until they're actively loving with people scientology/prosperity gospel style, which falun gong does not seem to be doing.

obviously their newspaper is hosed up and not really a legitimate news source, I'm just sayin that they seem relatively benign and aren't some weird hosed up cult.

attempting to cause a revolution in a country of 1.6bwould be bad for a lot of people so

Two women here last week went into a Walgreens and started stealing stuff while coughing loudly and saying they had covid to keep the staff away. They got arrested and are now being charged by the FBI with robbery affecting interstate commerce, which is a $250,000 fine and 20 years in jail. Lol

nobody is going to abandon open offices or cubicles, they're too inexpensive to make that attractive.

you know whats even cheaper? reducing your square footage which brings down your rent and utility costs. Just have an office with some employees who need to be on site full time and some conference rooms for when you have clients coming for a pitch or important meeting

I don't own a PS4 and can't actually bring myself to play video games that I didn't play when I was <12 anymore, but I did watch this guy's entire series on 1.75x speed.

I'm pretty sure this game is way better to watch than play yourself. You get to skip all the grinding bullshit and its just so much faster.

my daughter wanted to try my Indian food so I gave her a tiny amount even tho it was pretty spicy. she immediately demanded more and stuffed it into her face, then coughed and drank a bunch of milk, then demanded a third helping.

now I get my Indian and Thai food medium+ instead of hot+ so we can share :3: it owns to have a lil food buddy because my wife doesn’t eat anything with flavour beyond garlic and black pepper.
