In French putain is a swear, an insult and a punctuation for daily regulation conversations.

Early 30s, this year I had knee pain every time I when for a jog, the pain lasted 2 or 3 days each time, it lasted for over a month until I met with my brother who’s a physiotherapist and gave me very simple advice:

• warm up before running
• run in smaller steps, large steps are harder on the knees
• stop or take a break before it starts hurting
• run more often, 3 times per week minimum

The pain was gone in 2~3 weeks. Has not came back since.

It’s not always about the age, sometimes it’s about doing things correctly or getting the right care.

Initially I thought French and Chinese, but I love pizza so much, and Greek food is so delicious too.

So, I found a compromise: Mediterranean and Chinese 😋

I’m reading this comment with a French accent 😅

No, it’s simply pronounced 𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓰𝓮𝓾𝓻 🥖

Yes, this is more of a 102 moment it seems.

It’s funny to me, maybe not to anyone else. If you would take an advice from a random internet stranger: Try to learn a bit of Mandarin, travel to China, maybe your local communist party can even support you with that. Get a some first hand experience with this country your clearly very passionate about.

Not as well supported by sources as you previous replies, such a shame. But you gave me a good laugh 🤣

Alright, you did convince me that the Chinese people report strong support to the CCP and report a strong perception of democracy. What I am still not convinced of however, is that PRC IS democratic.

In my book, for a country to be democratic it needs to have:

• Freedom of speech
• Freedom of press
• Freedom of reunion
• Freedom of protest
• Universal access to education
• Political plurality
• Universal suffrage
• Universal respect of human right

My opinion today is that, I highly doubt PRC qualifies to any of this points, but I don’t know for sure. If you convince me with credible evidence that PRC is better than, let’s say, France, Germany or Norway, on all these points, then I am ready to move to China with you next year.

Edit: I forgot a few important point on my democratic list of requirements:

• Laicity (division of state and religion and tolerance for all religions)
• Division of power (Legislative, Justice, Executive, etc, must be help by different institution regulating each other)

The data from this article is up to 2016. Things have changed quite a bit since the COVID crisis.

Better answer the survey correctly when you live in a country that has laws like “disagreeing with the government is a crime”

Is it Signal and Threema leadership that doesn’t want to implement interoperability with WhatsApp or it’s WhatsApp preventing it? Is there any existing 3rd party app that’s compatible with WhatsApp?

Too tired, No motivation. I retire early to my mansion.

Is the movie the sequel of Turbo Killer ?

SIGNALIS (indie horror game). Very good, scary, I cried. Strongly recommend.

We watched The lobster for a family movie night, they never let me pick the movie again 😅. I enjoyed it, watched it twice.

It’s the one with the OST from Carpenter Brut, right? I need to watch this short.

Yes. It’s been a while since I’ve played it.
