The British Empire also left Afghanistan. And the US also left Japan and South Korea. It depends on which data points you pick.

Wouldn't it be great, though, if humans were no longer working warehouse jobs that strain their backs and their bladders?

When reading the article, I was surprised to not see the other studies mentioned alongside the strict survival results. In developed/industrialized countries, the number of years a…

Fathers who are soldiers away on deployment who can only see their newborn over zoom also have the dip. But only if they've been closely tracking the pregnancy and birth. Apparentl…

Excerpt from the article: Jobs in health care, recreation and hospitality report the highest level of job openings, relative to employment. Many of these involve plenty of person-t…

I'm literate enough to read the entertainment section of a newspaper, and get a perfect score on the SAT 2 Chinese language test in the US. Technically, I wouldn't really be consid…

Here's a video from Chinese TV in Feb before the landing that someone else posted in this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBhVaihkDvc I realize it doesn't have English subt…

My dad sends me articles about it on WeChat all the time, but I have difficulty reading it since my Chinese reading comprehension is barely at a 3rd grade level. They do make a big…

Excerpt from the article: > These numbers dovetail with a number of studies showing a similar level of classification looking at whole brain data. By applying a multivariate analys…

Just checked the link at least three times, and I don't see how this is related to the article. Are you reading the same article or did you post this by accident?

It's not any more or less dystopian than a plane pulling a Coors Light ad. However, I've noticed the negativity around anything China related, and it just triggers memories of the …

You'd have to take an action to view the advertisement, otherwise, it's just dots. I kinda wish all other ads were like that, tbh.

My mom lives in Shanghai, and yes, that's how automated contact tracing works. You have to show that you're not in the "potentially exposed" category before potentially being a sup…

Some cultures have normalized this (good hygiene and mask wearing when sick) since the 1917 pandemic. I'm cautiously optimistic that it can take hold in the West this time around.

Sometimes, paying people well goes hand in hand with opportunities for growth. The "bamboo ceiling," which is similar to the "glass ceiling" is a source of frustration for some tec…

That's a very good example of using full stops in English for emphasis.

Maybe that's the root cause of the problem.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the definition of excess deaths means they're not literally counting every person who died, including from old age or car accidents, but theoretically …

For real. When I hear "cows are like a member of the family" I think "oh, like cats and dogs are members of my family." And if everyone around me had to adjust to a culture where d…

Technically, there are more Latin speakers alive today than cumulatively during the Roman Empire. However, I think negligibly few are _native_ speakers. Exponential population grow…

My mom, who lives in Shanghai, orders 'nai pian' on taobao as one of her favorite snacks. Apparently it's yogurt chips (not yogurt balls) and it's very popular, and people generall…

I just ordered some from a few sources, and hopefully one of them is good. Found one on Amazon, one on Etsy, and one from Bonanza. They're supposed to have great shelf life, so I g…

My coworker just told me it's her favorite. Apparently, if you like the flavor of kefir or salty lassi or parmesan chips or yogurt drops, you might also like these.
