Who mentioned communism?
Funny, everyone perceives China to be some socialist giant. I just spent a week there and it’s more capitalist and consumer centric than anything I’ve ever seen. Certainly more than Singapore, USA, UK. All the brands x all the shopping. It’s not a tourist spot, it’s a shopping experience.
A famous Anthony Bourdain quote about Japan states: “If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it. Most chefs I know would agree with me”. He also famously described his first experience in Tokyo as being like “taking LSD for the first time,” a transformative experience that changed his perspective on the world.
I agree, for me it would be Japanese food, it’s so diverse and so refined.
Isn’t that the point though? The book enshittifies
Or am I missing the ironic tone?

You won’t regret using a rotisserie chicken as a bookmark.

The UK didn’t have a referendum to join the EU originally so I really don’t get why they had one to decide if they should leave. That referendum was bought and manipulated by the Russians I’m sure.
I would love the UK to rejoin the EU. They will probably want to keep the pound which will most likely be the main sticking point, but everything else including being part of the Schengen region should be non negotiable.
Waiting for that Russian gold mine guy who was just arrested to accidently fall out of a window
Can we please start calling this what it is. A literal concentration camp.
Turf, is that like peat?
Guessing this is only for industry, but hopefully the knock on effect will be less use domestically. Having been in small town Ireland, the amount of pollution generated by home coal fires is crazy. It feels like stepping back to industrial revolution times, at 6pm when everyone lights up their fires is choke inducing.
Dutch with a 1" head? This graph makes no f*cking sense whatsoever
I for one welcome our new brutalist McDonald’s overlord 🍔
Making rice for nigiri is quite a skill! Congratulations. 🍣
Where did you get the eyelid surgery done. I’ve heard Korea is one of the best places for this kind of surgery. Thank you.
China is a unitary communist state led by the CCP that self-designates as a socialist state.
All I’ve said is that in my personal experience visiting China this socialist state feels more capitalist than many other countries due to the insane amount of consumerism and mass consumption.
This is due to reform and opening up in 1978 and a burgeoning middle class with significant purchasing power.
I’m not belittling China with these facts, I’m merely observing what has happened.
