China has so much potential if they'd stop doing dumb shit like this, give locals and foreigners actually fair trials and stop messing with the market Also make the stock markets actually function because right now they're rigged too and you can't ACTUALLY benefit much from

Here is my take on this whole controversy about men talking to women whom they’re attracted to: It has literally always been true that most men are too timid (at least most of the time) to approach women and express any romantic interest in them. But, there also have always been

“Race-based hiring erodes trust in science, undermines excellence, and has demoralized a generation of qualified scholars.”

Even the concept of “circulatory death” isn’t even death. Some people can be resuscitated from this. You’re not dead unless there is no way back. In the future, perhaps, organs can be grown from stem cells, and no one will need to “donate” organs anymore. I’m absolutely not

The anti-white bias in faculty hiring is pervasive. I spent way too much time in academia, and ended up getting to know many tenured professors who were grandfathered in long before the DEI madness. Many were serving on hiring committees where their job was to interview

On this day in 1966, just weeks into the Cultural Revolution, Bian Zhongyun—principal of Beijing’s most elite girls’ school—was beaten to death by her own students. Leading the mob was Song Binbin, daughter of top CCP official Song Renqiong. As a reward, she represented the Red

If you think teenage criminals often get off easy in America, don’t go to the PRC. The leniency towards minors who do despicable things is appalling and downright creepy.

What an absolute tankie piece of shit! He should take his little pinky ass to the PRC and stay there! Total dumbass loser!

When I was a kid in the 90’s to early 2000’s, I thought America was meritocratic. I thought America was a country where each unique individual was respected, where we no longer discriminated for and against people based on factors irrelevant to their merits (such as which “race”

新华网：西藏地广人稀，农牧民居住较为分散，为实现核酸检测“应检尽检、不漏一人”，基层防疫工作人员纷纷采取徒步、骑马、驾驶摩托车等方式，把核酸采样服务点对点地送到偏远农牧区。 不管多高多远，确保不落一户、不漏一人。 --2022-08-25

I’m not an anti-technology weirdo or anything, but I know a little economics. These people promoting industrial factory-made substitutes for natural foods always go on about how the costs of these fake foods will come down until they are equal to or cheaper than the real foods.

Why I avoid both brown and white rice for my health. h/t Cooking with Chris

This is how you know the game is rigged. There are 100s of studies, including 20-30 RCTs & 20-30 long term studies that show low carb diets can reverse obesity & chronic disease. So why will the govt pay for overpriced Ozempic but not steak & eggs? There are 116 side effects

The obsolete “Calories in, Calories out” thinking is very stubborn. I’m a student, and I work part-time for the university’s dining services. I was just contemplating this topic today, because I had a lunch for work in which each of the three courses was a starchy or sugary food

These people can go buy the stuff and eat it, but the prices will not be lower than the prices of real meat. This is all about economics. The markets for real agricultural products are very competitive. That keeps profit margins and prices low. Yes, there are big ag companies

I’ll take a course on mathematical logic soon. I’m getting one or two library books to help me, because it looks like the instructor isn’t assigning a book. The gray one is the well-known textbook by Joseph Shoenfield. I’m aware that Mendelson’s is also popular. The yellow book

I’m getting busy, so I will not be on this app for a while. I’ll be taking three classes this semester: mathematical statistics, mathematical logic, and linear algebra. And, I’ll do grad school applications later this fall. I’ll have non-academic activities too, such as my job
