So you’re telling me that what I understand from reading the article is incorrect? Because my comment was based completely on what I read from the article.
Maybe my comment was poorly constructed. From reading the article, should my takeaway have been that the current use of the reference to the Yihetuan by the online trolls seems to be purely reactionary and not historical?
You and your correct predictions… smdh
There has been a wave of online Chinese ultranationalism directed at Japan in recent years amid rising tensions between the two countries, especially over Tokyo’s support for Taiwan and territorial disputes in the East China Sea.
Some posts urged Chinese to “go against the Japanese and eliminate traitors” while calling to establish a “modern-day Yihetuan”, it said in a statement on Saturday night.
Yihetuan, also known as the “Boxers” from the martial arts they practised, were a Chinese nationalist secret society during the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) that supported imperial power and resisted Westernisation. Their slogan was “Support the Qing, destroy the foreigners”. The movement later led to the failed 1899-1901 Boxer Rebellion against Western and Japanese powers in northern China.
A right wing nationalist movement of the past that supported a monarchy being referenced by a small number of online trolls doing asshole things. Definitely not to be confused with general opinions of the greater Chinese population.
The measures were in line with the response from Beijing. In a commentary on Friday evening, Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily said that “Chinese people have the same standards on right and wrong”.
Probably an unnecessary use of the word “mouthpiece.” At least for this situation, there’s no need to give the negative connotation to the target audience of English native readers.
The draft guidelines would have lowered the age minimums to 14 for hormonal treatments, 15 for mastectomies, 16 for breast augmentation or facial surgeries, and 17 for genital surgeries or hysterectomies. The final guidelines, released in 2022, removed the age-based recommendations altogether.

Makes sense, a 6 year old won’t have boobs to mastectomy and any adult trying to get a 6 year old a breast enhancement needs to be [redacted], pretty much all of medical science advocates against surgeries of this nature before a body is fully grown unless there something really REALLY serious to modify the risk assessment so having some legislative ban is just fucking ridiculous, facial surgeries are given to literal babies with cleft pallets, and puberty blockers aren’t the same thing as E or T.
A two-page explainer on gender-affirming care that is frequently cited by federal officials stated that gender-affirming surgeries were “typically used in adulthood or case-by-case in adolescence,” leaving the door open to surgery for minors in some instances.
No shit, its all going to be case by fucking case. Transgender people aren’t a fucking monolith, there won’t be a one size fits all treatment that works for every transgender person. That’s the whole fucking point of a person going to seek medical professionals in the first place, to figure their shit out with the professionals whose whole job is to have a good idea what can/needs to be done.
That’s the whole problem of any type of legislation making a barrier between a patient and the whole of a nations medical system. You either make the rule because you’re a bigot politican, or you make the rule because you’re an ignorant politician. There is no third option
“Would you like to round up your purchase, we promise that we’ll give it to somebody who needs it.”
Large, well known companies that just advertise that they still exist. Like, yeah, I know McDonaldsBurgerTacoBellWendySonic’s exist. I pass them on every street corner. Show me an advertisement for something I don’t know exists.
Resetting/moving the products on the store’s shelves en masse, not because there’s holes from discontinued products but because “people will stop paying attention to the shelves if everything stays the same.” I’m old and in a hurry and I was here to give you my fucking money. Don’t make it hard for me to give you my fucking money.
Pricing to the 9’s.
Filling the shelves with a bunch of things that don’t seem to sell all that well, taking up space that could have been used to keep more of the fast moving products on the retail floor, just to have the appearance of diversity on the shelves.
I remember the good ol’ days when the Ukraine/Russia war was absolutely not a proxy war between the USA and Russia. 
Mr. Xi,
Our astronauts yearn for freedom!
Israel’s need for some type of displacement/genocide to exist predates the current prime minister. Remove him, and nothing changes.
Mostly because I’m not the most competent techie, I’ve been using VLC between my PC and iPhone, for moving “books” around on devices that are very out of date.
Converted all my Bitcoin to Beefcoin and THINGS ARE GOING GREAT!
Nothing in the article supports that.
Also, nothing in the article specifies if the production capacity in Russia is from running the same factories longer or adding new factories. The former could increase defective munitions being produced and the later would probably show about the same level of defectives as production at lower rates.
Also, artillery shells and their fuses are two different things. Nothing in the article says anything about the fuse production, it might be assumed in the article and I’m just being pedantic, or it might an intentional oversight. Pretty sure its the fuses that are normally the problem when an artillery shell doesn’t explode when its supposed to.
Not giving Russia a political reason to for starters.
A gift card with just a few cents left on it.
Does it count if I’ve actually driven tanks?
me hearing a person’s name once during being introduced
me… minutes later realizing that there is just a blank spot in my memory where there name should be
me… waiting for months hoping that somebody uses their name around me in a context that attaches a name to that person because I’m too much of a coward to ask the person directly
make a backup
Pffftt… coward.

Promised a friend that I’d visit them.
Flew across the country to spend a few weeks hanging out.
Got food poisoning at one of the layover food shacks.
I had a blast… literally (from my ass) and figuratively (hanging out with a buddy). It was a lot of fun and horribly uncomfortable/embarrassing the entire time.
In what way are these Indian students trying to cheat the system?
Seems like the issue is that the rules are in the process of being changed (or are changed?) after these students spent however many years going to to school before the rules changed.
Work in these job sectors? You’re valuable (until the next rule change that will retroactively label you as “disposable labor”).
Work in those job sectors? You’re disposable labor whose use is no longer needed, here’s your deportation papers (until the next rule change that will retroactively label you as “valued labor”).
Oh… you were asking a rhetorical question.
Yeah, sure. That works.
Well that sounds about right… sighs
