  • What language is this from? Is it a variant of Mandarin or another Chinese language?

    My reasons for confusion 头水:my Pinyin keyboard doesn’t even want to write this. Is this supposed to be 口水?

    小豆脑:is this some metaphor?

    ‘My saliva is gone. I want that those electrolytes give me tofu brain [very soft tofu for other people reading], very constipated’

    I’m a very confused Chinese learner.

    Edit before responding: I think I understand the metaphor now lol









  • Indeed, as long as you’re aware, eventually it would be a parallel form of governance.

    Kick out everyone who tries to gouge, exploit, or trade shovelware.

    Yep, this sounds like governance to me! Just a better form that what you’ve been left with.

    Sounds great :) wish you all the best (genuinely).

    I’m honestly shocked the Americans aren’t already in-full blown revolt due to poverty.




  • then they won’t be and people will need to be able to move on

    Wtf are you advocating for here?

    That law enforcement shouldn’t face repercussions if they’re breaking the law (or violating generally accepted human rights)?

    No, ICE agents covering up their face, so they don’t have to face consequences, shouldn’t be able to just move on after the fact.

    Are you allergic to the concept of accountability?

    It’s absolutely bizarre that you are arguing for the humanity of Americans, when that’s not your position. Your argument is for the “humanity” of those within law enforcement wanting no consequences for their actions.

    It’s very naive to think this isn’t troubling for EVERYONE in the US, not just the alleged foreigners (who, in many cases, are completely legally in your country and have done nothing wrong).

    The US is a imperial nation, so I have every right to comment on your politics, as a vassal of the US.

    Bruh, as much as I’d like to see you cry about how the leopards ate your face (when you inevitably face the consequences of this slide into fascism), I’d much rather see the US have some semblance of sanity. Because we’re just standing here with our pants down, entirely at your military’s mercy (Australia).

    It’s about time we diversify our security partners, holy balls.

    Read a book, learn some history, you made be troubled when you do.


  • (hyperbole for emphasis) hey guys, they were normal people like you and I. They’re just supporting their families! - You when talking about the workers at Dachau and Auschwitz

    They were people, but let’s not pretend they were innocent. Shame is a great motivator, and would influence many ICE agents to stop what they’re doing, or at least behave better, I would argue.

    Letting law enforcement conceal their identity is some literal fascist shit - that’s not hyperbole.

    The rest of the world (where I’m from) is looking on with extreme concern.


  • No one’s freaking out, just don’t eat too much. Many, many packaged things have a bunch of salt in them. And in general, it’s good to be aware of.

    Salt requirements obviously vary from person to person and depend on your activity that day (losing it to sweat) etc.

    You’re not gonna die from a bit too much salt every now and then.

    But as all things: In moderation.

    Just because the situation with fat was stupid (and, in my opinion, was because of marketing by vested interests to take the heat of sugar) doesn’t mean all health science is quackery.

    “Too much salt is bad for you” isn’t a radical take.





  • Of course, unless you’re being terribly precise, you don’t know very accurately.

    Though, with the exception of pasta water, you can keep track via number of teaspoons as an approximation, or if you have precise scales tare off your container to see how much you’re using.

    Packaged foods are much easier.

    I personally just try to keep it minimal while keeping the food taste nice. I don’t measure my salt.

    I’m not saying change your habits, just be aware that excessive salt can he unhealthy!
