they did it with russia I heard

they set up a join factory near the boarder but in russia to make fighter jets as russia didn't want to give them the plans and stuff to make them entirely in china but compromised with the joint factory

then the Chinese workers stopped turning up and china started making their own jets domestically

because lotr is basically the proto "high fantasy" with everything else being derivative

many high fantasy writers don't know when to tone it the fuck down so you end up with worlds where everything is so fucking magical

or alternatively, china wants to make knock-off teslas so they allowed the factory so they can start copying parts

I think it turned out him and his wife were in an open relationship (read: she goes out to get fucked by strangers he stays at home and masturbates because he is just a giant cuck)

then there was the weird trans shit he did (no idea if he is still doing that but that was just pure 100% cringe and retardation)

and youtube is currently pushing videos saying he was a Christian convert

he might have claimed to have converted but I wonder if anyone ever saw him eat pork

yeah the UK conservative party is fucked

in some way, we dodged a bullet by not getting labour (comrades anyone?) but then the conservatives instead of doubling down on the opposite of what labour was doing they decided to look at labour and go "oh yeah we should do that" after labour got fucked and lost all its historically safe seats

you can its why mini games on loading screens weren't a thing - someone (was it capcom?) had the patent for it

more recently warner brothers patented the nemesis mechanic from shadow of mordor

I was under the impression that china does not like trannys

After that, his professor at the University of St. Gallen no longer have anything to do with him - she fears that she will no longer get a visa.

so the teacher is worried that she will no longer be able to get a visa to go to china because of this?

because a lot of china is spiritual you have Zen Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism in spades over there

Xianxia is very popular (it's a fantasy genre about cultivating the spirit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJxM3POU92w for more information

it may as well be if the regime tells them to jump they ask how high

while the current owners have been toeing the line a bit they would never step right over it

additionally, the only reason why the current owners own it is because they have ties to people in government if they did not have such ties they wouldn't own it (if you start a company in china and it gets large enough you either make friends with people in government or you are "persuaded" to sell it to people that do or you might "accidentally" fall off a large building)

problem is they are gaslit

its not just one authority figure once one of them decides "this person is trans" their co-workers who are most likely of the same ideology will enforce that

and with trans re-afirmation being the only thing psychiatrists are allowed to do in many countries these days (Canada I think mandates this you cannot say to someone that the powers that be have decided is trans that they might not be trans if you do you are transphobic)

so these mentally damaged people only have people forcing on to them the idea that they are trans and that is the only possible option anyone that says different is immediately un-personed

nah in my experience there's a subset of "transgender" people (these seem to be in the majority of such people I have met) who most likely have a mental illness or otherwise have a long period of vulnerability who are told by authority figures (psychiatrists, teachers, teaching assistants etc) that all their issues are because they are trans and if they transition all their problems will go away because they are trans and that's the problem once they are the "correct gender" it will be all fixed - this is then made worse by no one else wanting to say otherwise in case they are labeled as transphobic and lose their job

so the individual is being told from all sides that they are trans and anyone that dares say otherwise is shitcanned

all too often they find out too late that they were being told a bunch of shite and either kill themselves (41%) or try to "de-transition"

or do like they did with HCQ (pumped the dose way the fuck up can't remember if it was england or France that did it but it was like 3 times the maximum dose they were giving people)

I would have thought they would feel more empowered to do so they have been taking away labour home turf like mad afterall

among other things

that change allowed for life peers (people who are in untill they die and their children do not get the seat) and some (if not all?) are selected by the PM

this means the lords ends up with peers beholden to political parties when previously they were not

wasn't it mostly ruin jhonson subverting everyones expectation that lead to the rise of skywalker being something so asinine i haven't even got around to pirate it yet?

TFA wasn't overly terrible it just re-trod a a lot of ground then TLJ came out fucked everything because ruin jhonson thinks he's clever leaving some poor sod to figure out how the fuck this is all supposed to end

perhaps having a rough cut of the story of all 3 at the start might have helped (let someone tell ruin to go away with his subverting of our expectations)

but then again its all modern disney so it probably would have all turned out crap anyway

at least mark Hamill seems to hate what they did with his character (as opposed to what Patrick Stewart let them do with Picard)
