The Chinese equivalent of "how are you" is "have you eaten yet?" I think there's a lot more emphasis on having a proper hot meal than in many other places.

You can even see that attitude reflected in government COVID supplies. In Japan the delivered supplies for people in quarantine were almost all instant processed foods. In China, lockdown supplies had tons of fresh vegetables and meats. Ironically, that made food deliveries more expensive and difficult but there was never any talk of replacing fresh food with processed food.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
