The panic buying is mostly borne out of the rumors of food shortages during Shanghai's seemingly unending lockdown down south, but is it really necessary?(unquote)
If Zhugeliang screamed and wet himself at arrows' first volley, what'd you expect the troops to do? People have been relentlessly drilled to duck and cover at the first sneeze for going on three years. They're just demonstrating how deeply ingrained the panic reflex has become. The authorities should congratulate themselves on their program's level of efficiency.
Fox Fur Coffee? Fur in my drink? What's next? The Cat Hair Kitchen? Butt-Hair Brewery? Pendejo's Pizza?
Besides let's talk animal rights. Were any foxes harmed in making the coffee? And anyway, coffee shops should be WOKE! So shouldn't this be "Artificial For Fur Coffee"? Why have animal-based coffee at all. Just call the joint "The 420 Cafe---100% Hemp-Oil Coffee"
As we all know in the capital city, English books are sadly a rare commodity. (unquote)
Even without a VPN, a huge amount of stuff is available online. It's cheaper printing hardcopies than it is buying books, if you want to go that route.
Now That it's Mostly Covid Free, What the Heck is There to Do in Jiuxianqiao? (unquote)
I got it! I got the answer! Now that Jiuxianqiao is Covid free, we can all take up a pool predicting the date and hour of for the NEXT lockdown! Like the good book says, "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but punk-a** epidemics endureth forever." (Cov. 19: 1-2)
When women help women, we help the world! (unquote)
Depends what you're helping to do dunnit? I mean my wife helping my gramma smuggle black market opioids into the U.S. would, arguably, be harmful. Try thinking, not memes. Remember: "Memes maim minds!"
I've always been puzzled by the ring road system in Beijing. It didn’t make sense to me when I first arrived here years ago, and it makes only a bit more sense to me now,(unquote)
It's not really rocket science. The rings were built long ago in the early Han Dynasty as a subtle hint that Beijing wanted to host the Olympics (you know, the 5 rings). The sixth ring was a slightly huffy reminder, "Hey world! We're waiting---the Games? Hello?!" I know it all. You can call me Lord of the Rings.
But Covid has made me realize how fragile human life is, and my work has adapted a more gentle touch.”(unquote)
Human fortitude and common seem to be the worser casualities. Compared to the world our grandparents lived in, we've still got is fekkin cushy. I recall a werewolf movies I saw when I was a kid. There was one ironic type in the cast who actually praised the werewolf for reminding folks about the true nature of the universe they inhabit.
if getting to know China's plethora of protein and veggies seems a bit too adventurous, then perhaps an introduction to some of its more harmless – albeit unfamiliar – fruits (unquote)
There are harmful fruits out there? Beyond the 颠茄 berries my wife serves on my ice cream, I mean. "Are you joking at me? 颠茄是非常好吃的。Never you minding the dog, he old dog. Having the heart attack from too cold ice cream you give him."
Personally, I prefer to sip my Lipton's tea, and nibble a crunchy Oreo cookie while perched on the commode. Posh it might not be, but the atmosphere, as it were, is unique. The only maggot in my matcha macaroon is when my wife tells the boss on the phone, "Gio? He's in the bathroom teabagging away!"
I have heard that they are those who opine that the whole thing is an perfect example of bureaucratic exhibitionism. "What's that?", you ask. A recently rampant compusion when, appearances having supplanted reality, one goes piling on alleged safety measures long after real returns have diminished to the vanishing point. New proposals include submission of a valid nucleic acid test before one can cue up to take a nucleic acid test, requiring all department star mannequins to be masked 24/7, and social distancing of at least 1 meter when looking at one's reflection in a mirror. Because, "you can never appear to be too safe."
While the opening includes the chance to tour all the facilities there, the report seemed to focus on one thing in particular – the fact that guests will be able to partake in meat pies “similar to the ones Eileen Gu ate.”(unquote)
Every morning, I bet, I take a dump in a toilet similar to one Eileen Gu drops her bombs in. Somehow, all that does not particularly thrill me. Guess I'm jaded or sumpin'. Seriously, is anyone NEEDY enough to be swayed by the meat pie similarity? At least make me some vacuous promises as to how the pies will make me an Olympic champion.
After looking into all aspect of the mini program I was left wondering what the point of it was. Yes, it does have some handy information for setting up an account with Bank of China, though if you received this text you should already have one. The mini program does also contain some helpful guidance on sending transfers and using the Bank of China QR code payment system, however this is already possible through WeChat Pay or Alipay so isn’t exactly ground breaking stuff.(unquote)
The entire point of apps, "updates" etc. is the apps and updates themselves. The agenda is to create a sense of inadequacy unless one is plugged-in 24/7. Essentially, we are like psychic aphids, being farmed to yield two products: money and obedience. Look at the recent flap in the U.S. that Musk might actually acquire Twitter and use it for ends other than customer manipulation. Read Evola's "The Club and the Bow" to start working out psycho-spiritual cramps
After being designated as the capital’s only Covid high-risk area for a little over two weeks, a major swath of Jiuxianqiao – an area in the northeast of Chaoyang District situated within the Fourth Ring and Fifth Ring Roads and Capital Airport Expressway – has finally reopened from lockdown.(unquote)
Clearly a business opportunity here: Beijing's first interactive Covid tour. Cough on each other, get useless "vaccinations," get locked out of various venues. The limits are only those of a bureaucrat's fancy.
"We can laugh at the expense of the world around us and everything that’s happening: everyday struggles, shit at work, dating…it’s easier to take on if you realise you can laugh about it… it’s not so daunting… so cynicism is actually healthy" (unquote)
He isn't talking about cynicism here. He's more or less defining "sense of humor." Oscar Wilde's definition of cynicism---"knowing the cost of everything; the value of nothing"--- points at that which is most assuredly not healthy.
I was curious to find out what makes it such a catch. So, I headed out for Luckin's Dongdaqiao Branch to order one for myself.(unquote)
So...you patronize known liars because they're popular? Your choice of whom to marry ought to turn out to be the stuff soap operas are made of. A feller who lies about his physical dimensions and finances would seem to be the logical beau of choice.
There’s also an installation area recreating Picasso’s works on a larger scale, allowing visitors to get up close for a more immersive experience with the artist’s work. (unquote)
I grew up in the States, have lived a fair bit in Europe. Yet, only in China, have I been relentlessly stalked and aesthetically molested by Picasso's droog-packs. Odd, that. Walter Kaufmann once noted how European philosophy had a way of becoming trendy in the U.S. fifty years after its past-due date. Mayhap one can say the same of degenerate Euro-art and Chiner?

Nice article, but the Great Wave of Kanagawa is by Hokusai not Hiroshige (but I'm sure the exhibition will have some lovely Hiroshiges too)
