I can do heavy vocal fry easily enough since my "original" voice already had quite a lot of that and I can also do a decent feminine voice at ~250hz but the combination of vocal fry and lower frequency and Dasha's unbothered, self-assured, and exalted drawl all at once while still sounding feminine is really hard to nail down :(

Because the implication here is that she thinks having sex with black men is more degrading/humiliating and getting beat up by them is like, more "savage" or something than other races

My liberal friends all disagree with me and thinks I'm kinkshaming, being racist myself, or invalidating her "preferences" or something (which I think is usually also racist, having racial preferences unless there's some shared culture/experiences)

"For myself, I see China as hope. Hope that a colonized, brutalized, primitive and humiliated country, can rise above its past — refuse to be weak any longer — rebuild itself from nothing, with iron resolve, and become too strong to be overrun by the West again! Hope that a nonwhite, non-Western country can look deep within itself and find its own solutions to its problems — proving that (foolishly) trusting the West to guide us isn't necessary! Proof that if we can do what the Chinese did, there will be no limits for us. Imagine a world where the US, France, Britain, Australia, are no more important than Uzbekistan or Paraguay. A world where the World Court might be headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, the World Bank in New Delhi, the United Nations in Jakarta, the IMF in Cairo. A world liberated from the US banking system and the dollar as its reserve currency, so that Washington can no longer tell 200 other countries who they can and can't trade with. A world where an American can be tried for war crimes at the Hague, not just an Iraqi or Liberian or Serb. A world where we don't hear about a non-Western-made vaccine and grunt to ourselves, Oh, it must be poison. A world where we don't have to immigrate to the same countries that turned ours into hellholes, to work as sales clerks or taxi drivers, or even if we're brilliantly employed — to drain our brains from our homelands in the best of cases, and use them to reinforce Western riches and supremacy in exchange for a fat paycheck, instead of using them to make our own countries semi-habitable. When I hear that China has built its own Space Station, landed a rover on Mars, ended extreme poverty, built the Earth's biggest city, dam, telescope, 5G network, highway, air purifier, or whatever the heck it is that will come tomorrow — I feel the same pride as if I were Chinese. It's not happening for all of us, but it's happening for one of us and that's a start. There's got to be such a thing as developing-country nationalism — a common nationalism for all the countries that were colonized and plundered, and remain economically and politically captured by their ex-rulers. A nationalism for the Global South"

I agree, it's incredibly self serving and you're not fooling anybody

I bet many other POC feel the same as me but I rarely even complain about white people here because I know it's like 90% white so it's just an audience that could never empathize with what I'm saying

I just realised that the massive increase in German women's conservatism starting in 1990 is because of German reunification doomjak

Protectionist policies barring Chinese cars from being imported has to be the main factor

Wonder how high Yemen ranks right now as pound for pound most influential country thinking-about-it

The source for that claim is entirely from the US state department. Not to mention some expert disputed that claim

"The estimated all-time high for opium production was set in 2017 at 9,900 tons worth some $1.4 billion in sales by farmers or roughly 7% of Afghanistan's GDP, the UNODC reported."

"Mansfield says his field studies show the most the Taliban can earn from illicit opiates is about $40 million annually"

So the Taliban made at most 40 million per year while the entire country (under US occupation and control) made over 1 billion per year

No one in China is ever asked what they want or what they believe in

Thousands in China were asked every single year from 2003 to 2016 by Harvard in an intensive study that they've described themselves as "nothing comparable done on this scale, over such a long period of time, and over a large geographic area"

The conclusion they found is that 95%+ of Chinese citizens are satisfied with the government

If you tell me Harvard is a Chinese propaganda institution I'll take your word for it though

It was absolutely not obvious at all to Americans back then. Or more accurately, they wanted to believe the lies so they did

73% of Americans were in favor of invading Iraq
