Not necessarily, there are different types of travellers. Some people like packing many destinations into a short time and some prefer to spend more time on one place. We’re pretty far off the original topic now though because not visiting China has nothing to do with the diversity or size of it but because the CCP is an authoritarian regime who can go fuck themselves. I’d like to go back to Europe sometime though.

I don’t think Hawaii is really analogous but I get your point. I’d still rather chill in. Taiwan though even if it’s significantly smaller.

They shouldn’t have killed his human

No thanks, I don’t want to deal with that type of shit at all. I’m not going to be visiting the US or China because of that, I’d rather go chill in Taiwan.

Yeah I remember seeing a really interesting video about how GDP growth can be very roughly approximated by night time illumination and how a small “adjustment” of GDP growth figures can create a huge disparity over time of the real vs official GDP. Nothing really conclusive or smoking gun but it was still really interesting and it definitely seems like these figures are worthy of a healthy dose of scepticism.

Isn’t this the plot of LotR?

No better representation of America than a billionaire emerging from a gold studded office to give a $100 tip to a grandma working to afford treatment for her husband’s cancer.

I only eat jerk chicken

Check out his cross

Exactly. That’s how you get

What? He’s agreeing to exchange technology and expertise, not joining the war. Iran is supplying Russia with the technology to genocide his people so of course he’s going to be against them. What are you on about, mate?

Such good value

Baldur’s Gate 2. The manual was so good, and the map. You’d pay $200 for some kind of special edition for that quality these days. Totally worth it.

I don’t know what this has to do with anything. I love it when people disagree with me. Either they make interesting points and I have fun learning something or they post drivel and I have fun with them until I get bored. It’s all upside.

If that’s your goal, the most polite thing I can say is that maybe you should reconsider your strategy.

Yeah I did, kinda like how only twelve people came up with 90% of the anti vax bullshit that got spread around during COVID.

I knew an athlete who had an mRNA vaccine and he died in a car accident two days afterwards. This was a very fit and healthy person who ran daily.

You will absolutely not regret summoning eight monkeys.

Damn, not even a pair of shoes.

We’d always bow at the beginning of a duel. So many awesome memories, what a game.
