Kintaro Hayakawa (June 10, 1886 – November 23, 1973), known professionally as Sessue Hayakawa, was a Japanese actor. He was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the silent film era of the 1910s and 1920s. Hayakawa was the first actor of Asian descent to achieve stardom as a leading man in the United States and Europe. His "broodingly handsome"[2] good looks and typecasting as a sexually dominant villain made him a heartthrob among American women during a time of racial discrimination, and he became one of the first male sex symbols of Hollywood.

I buy Samsung phones because I know they treat their workers very well for the most part both in Korea and abroad. In Vietnam, they built daycare, hospitals, school, park, housing for the entire workforce. In Korea, they give out huge bonuses to workers and will promote talented people.
I also buy Samsung for the same reason I buy Hyundai, it's not that I can't afford the more expensive brands, I do it out of patriotism for the motherland and scream "TRAITOR!" with the windows up when I drive by a Korean person in a Subaru.
I just Googled "Samsung worker conditions". Seems like the United Nations, China Labor Watch, USD Today, The Guardian, and many others don't agree with your assertions that Samsung are saints. Then there's the corruption and press manipulation in South Korea. Surely not the worst company in the world, but absolutely not the best.
shalom...i was joking but yeah i do feel proud of what my people have achieved and you should be too. i love watching historical documentaries on israel, especially i feel a certain kinship towards both korea and israel because as underdogs surrounded by not so friendly countries historically have made it and fiercely protected by the people.
You were probably never even looking at the correct figures. Given the track record of Chinese government at concealing the truth because it's deemed a threat to national security, how are they going to convince people this number is grossly understated?
If you cry you saw winnie the pooh irl, the 3rd or 4th time, people are gonna ask questions and demand you provide an independent inquiry led by a coalition of developed democracies.
That's not what they are doing here at all. This is a thinly veiled regulatory body which will pretty much ban/kill all PoW/PoS/or anyother pseudo science blockchain projects.
It will likely shut down once they realize corporate America has pretty much ditched blockchain and has moved on. The people who are writing optimistic comments are grasping at straws.
Blockchain industry had 5 years to go mainstream. All it did was create financial ruin for duped investors while enriching those who bought the pre-sale at restrictive amounts of capital to risk.
Blockchain is a shitty and slow database nobody asked for apart from the people selling it's tokens that is somehow necessary to appreciate and depreciate in value on terms dictated by the very controllers. SEC will blow you out of the water if you've been caught pumping and dumping. I am in the process of reporting/sending slack screenshots of people in Vancouver to the SEC for pumping and dumping.
I think it's far more complicated than that although environment plays a big role, on those that are susceptible to it.
For example, in my AP Calculus honors class was mostly East Asian high school kids, in a school famous for gang violence (class of 05, I recognized their faces in the newspapers), started joining ethnic street gangs during this time. Like this Vietnamese dude was a high achiever like the rest of us tryna get into a good university, then the cops showed up and arrested for attempted murder for bashing some white kid's head in the hallway with a baseball bat. It was like a gang initiation thing, I hear many many other such incidents. Honestly, I was tense all the time. It was only when I was threatened with a deadly weapon over a scuffle, did I realize what I was dealing with. I asked that classmate why he attacked the student in the hallway, he replied
"cuz he was askin for it"
Pretty shocking since not long ago we were studying calculus together. Well, I hope the thug life was worth a permanent criminal record that permanently bars you from partaking in the mainstream economy.
I didn't know my socially liberal city was secretly racist until I joined Tinder and OKC.
Unfiltered, unbiased, completely raw racism against Asian males.
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth continue living as a North American. There's just institutionalized racism from Hollywood, which everybody takes cue from.
Especially when there's a vacuum of identity due to the mosaic nature of Canadian identity, it creates ethnic silos, and just an air of unfriendly unwelcoming misery that is Vancouver, BC.
Or maybe everybody is house poor and blame it on Asians in Ferraris.....whyflag
Not at all challenging, considering the average CCTV (what a fitting name for a chinese tv station) anchor's range of emotional expression is limited to a knob.
Might as well just produce a deepfake anchor with Xi's ugly ass face instantly traumatizing millions of Chinese children, who knows how many falun gong infants were sacrificed to save the poor sick Chinese elite (they actually eat the fucking placenta for supposedly viagra effect jesus fucking christ im outta here never EVER gonna catch me going to China)
If you keep posting unsubstantive flamewar-style comments we'll ban the account. Please just post something thoughtful and informative that we can learn from instead.
> The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) said there was not enough evidence for the organisation to "either support or not support" placentophagy as there had not been enough research on the health benefits.
On the one hand I didn't want to post this because it kinda grossed me out and might ruin someone's day or something -- on the other hand, I "totally could see it being a thing in Asia", just because of the other powdered animal stuff; but wasn't aware of it being a thing, period, and I guess that would describe many people. And some of the sentences in that article are really quite something, oh my.
I already did? OP said they placenta eating is a thing in China, and
> I "totally could see it being a thing in Asia", just because of the other powdered animal stuff; but wasn't aware of it being a thing [everywhere], period, and I guess that would describe many people
so I shared my, uhh, information, instead of just letting that stereotype kinda linger.
I didn't see OPs original rant, it's been flagged. I'm assuming there was something in there about how awful Chinese people are because placenta?
As far as it being a thing.. I'm pretty sure historically it's a really big thing. Protein is expensive for subsistence farmers. Too bad OP lost their lunch over it
PavlovsCat wrote a very generalizing statement about what "Asians" eat and then tried to smear it on me. It was a thinly veiled racism but then again people from UK doesn't seem to have a good grip on what is considered racist in North America. What he wrote would fall under sneaky bigotry. Not full blown racism but I'm used to seeing dogwhistling on reddit.
I only wrote that the corrupt Chinese elite exploit the people including taking prisoners organs, prostitution, all sorts of human rights abuse.
but somehow it's been derived to that removed comment which implied that I didn't view Mainland China unfavorably, please don't try to conflate it with sinophobia, I haven't made that case at all, it's just apalling behavior from the Communist party of China that pisses me off because it pains me to see what my Chinese friends go through.
> PavlovsCat wrote a very generalizing statement about what "Asians" eat
I said I considered it possible because of the powdered animals stuff [0]. That's not even a statement about "what Asians eat", much less a generalizing one.
I said I "totally could see it being a thing in Asia". Call that racism if you must, but there is nothing "veiled" here.
> I only wrote that the corrupt Chinese elite exploit the people including taking prisoners organs, prostitution, all sorts of human rights abuse
Yeah, and you put it like this
> the poor sick Chinese elite (they actually eat the fucking placenta for supposedly viagra effect jesus fucking christ im outta here never EVER gonna catch me going to China)
(anyone can turn on "showdead" and still see the comment, you know that, right?)
Sure, technically I guess "they" refers to the Chinese elite. Insofar I accept your correction. But still, way, I actually looked something up real quick that even you, who made the claim, apparently knew nothing about... and as I said, I only "shared what I found" because it refutes any stereotypes about only Asian or Chinese people doing that, heh.
Anyways, back to a vegan Alicia Silverstone eating her placenta; I find that by itself infinitely more fascinating than any of whatever this is.
Like I said, I didn't see your original comment. All I'll say is that I encourage you to listen to people who've lived in China about Chinese problems rather than just overlaying an American worldview.
Edit: oh nevermind, I can see the comment now. Shame on you.
In 1976, Volkswagen made a Rabbit with a 20 horsepower DC electric motor and a pile of lead acid batteries in the trunk where the spare tire would normally go.
Electric vehicles are easy, electric motors are easy and old technology, the only differentiating factor is the battery.
Once the supply side of batteries is resolved then any car manufacturer can easily make electric vehicles. Most already have. They're incredibly simpler than ICE vehicles.
Many say that this is precisely why automotive companies have been postponing the move to electric. A lot of the reason for major auto companies existence is that it used to take sophisticated multi-billion dollar organizations to design and manufacture high quality ICE engines.
Overall, "anyone can make an electric car" is bad for the incumbents. China has hundreds of electric car companies turning out surprisingly decent vehicles that are probably good enough for most of the world. The vacuum company Dyson is getting into electric cars.
Everything but the powertrain (including almost all of the safety technology from seats and airbags to sensors and driver assistance) is available from suppliers, so it really isn't out of the question for more new brands to disrupt the industry.
Yet Tesla is often criticized for attempting to disrupt the electric car market. They're too small; it takes years and billions to make a car line; they're too expensive. They can't get volume from suppliers to get a good price. And on and on.
How could others have it easier then? Maybe because those Chinese cars could never be on a road in the West, because they're dangerous and untested?
The only reason you see so many electric car companies in China is because of money laundering, scams and non existant regulatory enforcement.
There's no chance in hell China is ever going to release a car that people will trust/forced to trust outside of China. That would mean actual due diligence, not chabuduo. Especially, not after they put ecstacy in lego.
Xi should ditch the "2020 made in china", create a whole new country to label manufacturer label, "Made in Xina"
Xina? Hey I'll take it over "Made in China" because I'm a dumb ass consumer who has never seen Google Maps before.
Sure, but the only real main similarities are they both have bodies, tires, windows, seats and a steering wheel. Just about everything else is completely different and needs to be "invented." The hard stuff.
I really don't think Tesla is going to make it out of this one. It's facing it's worst nightmare which is luxury car makers as well as mainstream manufacturers jumping both feet.
They have been building vehicles far far longer and have the experience.
Without Musk, I just don't see how Tesla is going to make it out of this one.
Coburn never would have settled if the SEC were that sloppy. You might disagree with the laws involved, but I'm pretty sure they had a decent legal case.
