Oh no I don't have any complain or opposition in any point because, as you said, most of the media and information that I can reach is full of propaganda so even when I "knew" something, its probably It distorted information for the benefit of a "certain" country. I just wanna learn instead of debate just by pure respect.

It is tru that china's people have a "unspoken agreement" on politics? Let me explain, they say that chinese people Doesn't get involve on any kind of politics because they know that if they let the CCP work without troubles they would have a better, richer lifestyle. It is true?

Not really an unspoken agreement, more like unspoken fear. Politics is only genuinely discussed IRL, behind closed doors and amongst close friends and family. Because the CCP will crack down on dissent, especially online. 

When I was working there (I worked as a junior architectural consultant back then), I was close with 1 client who I would occasionally drink with, and he told me that you cant badmouth the government around untrusted strangers because they may report you to the government and they’ll either fine you, or if you have garnered a group of dissenters around your rhetoric, they’ll find some bogus reason to imprison you.

It’s really more of a keep your mouth shut if you have nothing good to say type of situation, which I find is one of the major flaws in their government. My country is already pretty draconian, but even we dont go that far in curbing criticisms of the government. People can still say fuck the government here lol.

Obviously when the top leadership is good and the economy is improving annually (like right now), this system of political censorship is bearable. But if a tyrant or an idiot takes power, then I can assure you it will be chaos. Which is why I dont think its right to call China’s rise a “Chinese Century”, their system of authoritarian governance doesnt have enough adequate checks and balances to sustain their rise, and it will quickly falter if a fool were to replace Xi as the new leader in the near future.

Oh I do understand that, I have relatives in a centroamerican country, I am too paranoid to talk about it even anonymously. Anyway, what do you thing of Xi as a leader figure?, Deng wanted a real "people of china" country, meanwhile Xi thinks that the people needs a figure (like north korea I guess). Since 2012, Xi numbers looking good honestly, but, are they real or manipulated?

Also, thanks for keep answering,

To me, Xi is definitely one of the most temperate Paramount Leaders in Communist China’s history. He is not rash or impulsive, he bides his time, and he only acts when he has complete information on the situation. 

Which is where the “Do Nothing, Win” meme comes from. He’s not exactly doing nothing per se; he’s just waiting for everyone else to make their moves first, then he will analyse the global chessboard afterwards and finally makes his. 

And China has so far greatly benefitted from his patience and sensibility. It’s also not as if China is really doing nothing either - it is busy developing its own infrastructure and infrastructure abroad through the Belt & Road initiative, and is securing itself as the leader of the Global South with regards to BRICS and Africa, all while America becomes more isolationist.

I dont really know exactly if the approval rating of his governance in China is accurate. When I worked there, it was still under the previous leader Hu Jintao. But I won’t be surprised if it is genuine. He has practically leapfrogged China’s economy and prosperity to be able to now directly compete with the USA. The Chongqing you see today is very different from the Chongqing of 2005-2007 when I worked there, and so is many other different cities. Chongqing was more or less a mountainous backwater swamp 20 years ago, and now it’s transformed itself into a cyberpunk city and tourist destination.

In my eyes, Deng still remains as the greatest, and Mao - while socially revolutionary within modern Han Chinese/Socialist ethos - is largely still the biggest idiot when it comes to governance. But thats just my opinion lol.

I don't know if you checked it, but boogiepop has some simple style but really good colours, shading and even textures. It reminds me sometimes to Death Note anime shading and lighting. If you didn't see it give it a try, it has some cool ideas that could work on your drawings/coloring.

crazy how much tuna has changed in the past 10 years. i remember when your choices were just packed in water or packed in oil and now there's like 20 different flavors to choose from at the store

what a time to be alive

It's simple. Chunk style tuna in water leaves a lot for waste fish. When I was a kid each can contained a large cutlet, complete with a piece of spine. So make smaller cans to take the sections from the tails. Still a lot of left overs being turned into chicken meal, so the next step is to scrape small chunks of fish from the skin and bones and can that. That's the small snack size tuna in spring water sold at a premium price. There are still small fragments of flesh. Pressure cook the remains to bring all the little pieces  off, skim them, fill a fan with pressure cooked scraps plus oil to give it some body, use Sneed oil because this is pleb food.
Increasing international demand for a fixed number of fish (rise of China and Korea) means the Western premium cans need to downgrade their quality. So they swap to using pressure cooked scraps, and add flavours to hide the fact that the scraps taste like shit compared to whole tuna.
You are here.
The next step is to move to farmed fish only, the 2030 ban on internal combustion engines will end commercial fishing by 2050 at the latest. Then the fish farms will gradually shut down as well because krill for fisH food will not be caught. Then you will eat the bugs.

IB oldfags, how has the board "scene" changed? why it "got worse"?

Bernd 2025-04-18 20:48:04 ⋅ 1d No. 339040

It changed in a way. Many more imageboards opened since more and more communities felt they need their own. 8chan's approach that users can open their own boards just accelerated this, instead of containing it. But each community is relatively small and as the years pass numbers always dwindle and since only a few people know about them they don't really get new posters.
This led to the popular belief that imageboards are dead, or a surpassed format. I do not agree. I do think this relative anonymity and freedom imageboards offer can be attractive to many people on the internet. Except they don't know about it. Sure can be strange for them at first, but the ease of use, the lack of need for registration are also big plusses.
Question is, how to introduce them to people?

Of course and X will never have the "soul" that imageboards has but it really seems that they want to """replicate""" that...We will see, young lads are already feeling tired of social media structure. Perhaps web 3.0 could be something real and not just a cryptoyapper thing.
