@Eiswald@EdBoatConnoisseur@Shlomo Somehow Sailor Moon slipped through even though the whole second arc was about Weissman exerting total control over diamonds to destroy young couples in love.
Those cheese pizzas and hot dogs aren’t going to cook themselves.
Also pizzagate and wayfair are all ridiculous conspiracies. Just because the federal government was trafficking children for sex in Central Asia doesn’t mean the federal government was also trafficking children for sex in North America.
@Hoss@p@lanodan@hj@ProfessionalPetFoodTaster@gentoobro@mangeurdenuage Yeah, that was way more embarrassing than when the US invaded Afghanistan and assigned its troops to defend guys who were raping little boys for tradition™ and made them stand outside while listening to it.
It is not an important market compared to the value of control of mineral resources in that mountainous region.
They can make that up elsewhere. They would have a way smaller border to defend, and Mongolia still acts as a buffer state. It would also settle the border dispute with Russia with a vengeance.
@p@lanodan@hj@Hoss@ProfessionalPetFoodTaster@gentoobro@mangeurdenuage 80s was when it became more of a problem. That was when the birth control policy came into force. The next 30 years families were mostly limited to one child (minorities exempt) so there were a lot more boys than girls.
The problem has been mostly been handled so far with mail-order brides from Vietnam.
@gentoobro@p@lanodan@hj@Hoss@mangeurdenuage If Xi is smart and needs to shed some bodies, he should invade Russia while this Ukraine shit is going on and retake Greater Manchuria.
Never going to have a better opportunity when the east is poorly defended. And it isolates North Korea completely. Little Rocket Man has been a headache for Beijing.
There is no reason to take Taiwan and press the conflict with the USA. You don’t have to cut down the tree in your yard to prove it’s your tree.
They’ve also blown up a housing bubble that is pretty wild. I kind of lost track after it passed 30,000 yuan per square meter for a concrete death box.
Add in the uncertainty of the 70-year lease expiring on all the properties retirees are living in, and that everyone one working adult is supporting seven pensioners.
@sun I have a pretty huge stash of those, plus snake mountain and grayskull with the boxes. Most of the figured have had new rubber barbells installed to repair the legs (the rubber from that era turns to boogers).
I gave them all to my kids to play with because the best offer I got was $50 for everything.
Kids also have my 1979-1983 Star Wars toys because someone gave me a similar lowball.
