  1. His wife sees a building blown to smithereens and barely reacts. Mine sees brake lights activate 30 yards in front and has a mild stroke.
  2. Why would Tucker Carlson be presenting the other side of the debate? I thought he chugged red pills for breakfast.
  3. 1.) I have family members who are, but I'm not Taiwanese. 2.) I'm not ignoring anything, you're layering your own context onto what I've said. You said there's a vast cultural divide. I said it's not as big as it used to be. It's not. China has spent a lot of money on soft power influence in Taiwan the past 2 decades emphasizing their shared cultural history in order to drive a wedge between them and the west. Go online and read their forums, look at their tik tok videos or instas - the sense of ethnic pride in their history is prevalent.
  4. He's embracing the Astros way
  5. No argument there ^^^ but did you forget you were talking about the cultural divide? Standard Chinese is the official language of both China and Taiwan. Standard Chinese is the Mandarin dialect. Other dialects include Cantonese (the most famous), Fukinese, Hokkien, Wu, etc. Taiwanese Mandarin and Beijing Mandarin have differences the same way Central Texas English and New York English have differences - there are different words for some things i.e. buses, phones, foods. The way they pronounce words is different - sometimes Beijingers add an R to the ends of words, sometimes they add an SH where there's only an S. I speak Mandarin. It's the exact same language with different regional pronunciations. The difference is what you'd hear between a Californian and a New Yorker.
  6. It's the exact same language not even a different dialect. And culturally there's not as big of a divide now as there was maybe twenty years ago. The communist brainwashing apparatus has been effective.
  7. Man be careful, you wouldn't get tried in Chicago.
  8. Love bagpipes. If you ever get a chance go to the Tattoo in Edinburgh.
  9. How did zheng and Jack draper decide to go in as a team?
  10. Why do you people wear shoes inside the house.
  11. Whole buncha people did not like Serena on account of how she treated people and the way she made everything about her. Sharapova was more well liked than she was despite being less successful. Mia Hamm's a good one. Some of those vball girls were v popular- strugg, moceanu, Shannon Miller.
  12. Lol they said AD was worth four first rounders. So Desmond Bane just got traded for almost the exact same package as Luka.
  13. It's Tel Aviv, they see more rockets falling from the sky than we do water in Central Texas.
  14. Maybe they should call Kendrick Perkins
  15. No. Not literally every one. Because there are honest companies out there who don't like committing insurance fraud.
  16. Just as Voldemort unwittingly chose harry, trump chose Gavin who's going to take him down.
  17. Please tell me that's a copy and paste from an article.
  18. I said it somewhere else, but June 14 is also Trump's birthday. You can expect fireworks for sure.
  19. It's the whole day and the last time they shucked for me they left a lot of grit so I do it myself.
  20. My rxn also. Literally found money under the couch for them. I was gonna say a million per match he played this year but I don't think he even made 8 appearances.
  21. Did they fly to Russia or some such nonsense?
  22. The on court celebration he had was composed mostly of ballboys so maybe that's where they were.
  23. Fun Fact: June 14 is Flag Day, but it's also Donald Trump's birthday.
