It was a photo of Obama and Xi walking together, and a Weibo user posted a graphic of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger directly next to it. It was a hilarious match, with lanky Obama and rotund Xi. See for yourself: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DE680g_XsAAaplZ.jpg
It’s lese-majeste, the crime of mocking the ruler. Everyone who forwarded it was suspended or banned.
Imagine what it’s like, being ruled by your sex drive like this. It’s hell. If you could only turn it off, you’d have a better life. Turn it on when appropriate. But it’s on 24/7 whether you like it or not. It’s pure torture. It makes men do stupid, harmful things to themselves and others. Maybe one day there’ll be a skin implant to control it.
Hell no. I love sneezing.
Best of all is when you come out into bright sunlight and sneeze. Oh, my. Better than sex. If you’re good you can get a second one.
If you feel a sneeze coming on and you can’t get it out, stick your finger inside your mouth. Rub your soft palate (the fleshy part of the roof of your mouth) in a circular motion a few times. Works like a charm.
Depends on how many assholes have been there before ruining it for everyone. If you’re near a university then it’s likely that they know exactly what weed is and have deported many morons for smoking it. Oh, and they can and will park a bus outside a music festival and piss test everyone there, and all that test positive get on the bus. The Chinese get a fine, the foreigners get deported.
You’ll get a couple weeks in the slammer where you’ll eat rice gruel and then get deported at your own expense, barred from re-entry for 5 years.
You can get the death penalty for smuggling and being a westerner won’t save you. They executed a British man, Akmal Shaikh, for taking 8 pounds of heroin into Xinjiang.
Usually this author gets in a cheap shot at Jordan Peterson. What gives?
A rhetorical trick. Both can be true at the same time. Israel is an apartheid state, and it’s also running an ad to attempt to persuade the world that exploiting the images of dead children excuses apartheid.

That’s just watching a drama, though. Streamers are friend substitutes.
When I used to watch sports, I liked them becuase they were a drama where you didn’t know the end. TV shows were predictable and you just knew what was going to happen after 5 minutes. Sports? Anything can happen. And there’s always the chance of watching a historic play happen live. I saw Leon Lett celebrate early and get the ball swatted away from him as it happened.
Oh, that’s easy: it’s a friend substitute.
It’s one way, but watching a streamer is similar to having a friend. Which is more than a lot of people have, sadly. If you want to pay you can get some interaction like him mentioning your name on stream. When you’re starving, a crumb tastes like ambrosia.
