definitely numbers to take with a grain of salt. but by accounts from people living there, the difference is noticable even if it's not as high as what the government says. even tourism has had a huge uptick because people actually feel pretty safe going there now.

as far as I'm concerned, apple maps is a lesser evil but you're still sending your data to one of the largest corporations in the world who are frantically trying to sell you something. only a matter of time you'll hear news of your data went somewhere you didn't expect.

donating 100% vs giving your smart kid 70% and your dumb kid 30% is much different. you'll understand if you're the 30%.

this. even if it's a dollar.

that one kid will be wondering why the $1 for the rest of their lives but have no way of finding out why. that stuff can start as nothing but fester quickly. I've had this happen to my family.

eh I'm the same as you. even grew up in China for many years and the original comment could be true. who knows, but its getting weird coverage in both countries.

it's also quite the stereotype (one especially held by western raised Asians) to believe all East Asians have asian elitism. most people I knew in China were insanely jealous of Americans and would give their life savings to send their kids to the US for education and a better life. the rich had the everyone is stupid mentality, but that's true for rich people everywhere. one thing that is true and why I made the comment in parenthesis is that most Chinese people think Western raised Asian children are raised incorrectly and make that known to their family members in the West which comes off very elitist, but that's also something shared between cultures around the world who have family members living in the US or equivalent.

no comment on the dudes other comments he's made since I don't know much about him, but to apply this to all East Asians especially the Chinese because of his one comment is pretty... yeah.

most of my millennial peers were all in on Friends and thought Seinfeld was pretty much only for old people. it had its cultural moment but it was popular because pretty much everyone older than 30 in the 90s loved the show.

Basically people who are around 50/60 now were the ones who truly enjoyed Seinfeld.
