« In a news conference, the U.S. defense secretary, Lloyd J. Austin III, stressed that these new sites were not permanent. The last U.S. soldiers left the Philippines in 1990s, and it is now against the country’s Constitution for foreign troops to be permanently based there. » ok so when are they leaving then

« The United States is increasing its military presence in the Philippines, gaining access to four more sites and strengthening the Southeast Asian nation’s role as a key strategic partner » is “strategic partner” how we are describing military occupation now?

oh my god fuck off

this will be the plot of the eventual pokémon game set in germany

in the pokémon world nobody cares about maintaining the survival of the Teutonic race in central Europe and they certainly wouldn’t wage a disastrous war on two fronts over it

they'd just like try to capture a legendary and then an 11-year-old would show them up and be like “racial nationalism is bad”

i’m trying to write a WWI pokémon AU while also completely ignoring the causes of WWI and also where it was actually fought and i think this is fine

Sorbébé

reading the pinyin is definitely helpful in hearing the tones and getting them correct but on the other hand i do want to be able to read actual chinese

oh good you can turn off the pinyin

a lot of symbols were added which i’m happy to see:

• asterism
• tironian et
• turned digits two and three
• place of interest sign
• ballot boxes (empty, check, x)
• copyleft symbol
• smiling, neutral, and frowning faces

there are new releases

pokémon are hot enough as they are you don’t need to make them hotter

it is fucking forty minutes after midnight it is not time to practice my chinese

you ever make a commit message which is just like “yes i wrote this code but i have no idea why i did it this way and how about not”

you read…

is this negging

can't even talk about my feelings without it being a subtoot

pick your level :—

• 0%: subtlety is for cowards

• 50%: normal

• 100%: buddy, if i couldn't speak through subtext, i wouldn't speak

« Washington’s debt limit drama has Wall Street betting that the United States will employ a fallback option to ensure it can make good on payments to its lenders even if Congress doesn’t raise the nation’s borrowing limit before America runs out of cash.

But that untested idea has significant flaws and has been ruled out by the Biden administration, which could make it less of a bulwark against disaster than many investors and politicians are counting on. » lmao

should have just rolled with this one honestly https://youtu.be/_vdSzIawfGM
