I’m not doing a racism!
For sure, it’s ridiculous that India (and Arabia) is excluded but Europe is not. Eurindarasia is a little silly sounding though…
Wow so both Ruzzia and Amerikkka edit Wikipedia for propaganda purposes. 🤯
If Europe is fake, shouldn’t it be Asia not Eurasia lol.
The Rocket Man has his own soda. “Taste The Apocalypse” with this sweet and savory Doomsday Lemonade. Hopefully this will not be the last lemonade you ever have.
“Doomsday” yet their entire arsenal adds up to the yield of only a moderate H-bomb. Get back to me when they have a few gigatons and the ability to produce a nuclear winter.
This Post Was Fact Checked By Real Amerikan Patriots
People believe what they want. White people in Turtle Island call themselves Americans, and white people in Africa call themselves Afrikaners. But we are objectively still European :)
Aww I’m sorry about your equipment loss
Not really news. Of course soldiers are going to say nationalistic things.
It’s not a Chinese island? So landback to the indigenous Taiwanese, right?
Haha, you have been usurped, Jonathan!
I see the Chinese train speed disinfo psyop continues. 99% of so-called “Chinese disinfo” is real, accurate info. The other 1% is extremely misleading (if not outright fabricated) claims about train speeds. I will now show you why Becca Inglis has no idea what they are talking about (as is usual for journalists no matter where they’re from).
Inglis claims that China’s new high-speed maglev has reached 281 mph (452 km/h) and that engineers hope it will reach 621 mph (999 km/h).
Unfortunately, Inglis does not know how to read. The source provided for the first claim is an article incorrectly titled “At 281 miles an hour, China’s new high-speed maglev train is the world’s fastest”. This article is also written by a confused “journalist” who has no idea how to do cursory research. They are referring to the CR450 tests which does not use magnetic levitation. The first sentence of the article sources an almost well-written EurAsian Times article. The contents of this article are very informative, and it does not make the incorrect claim that the CR450 trains are maglev. They even list two TGV tests that went faster than this CR test. Strangely, they do not mention the Chuo Shinkansen which reached a top speed of 603 km/h (375 mph) and will have an operational top speed of 505 km/h (314 mph) when it starts running in a few years. Despite the accurate content of the article, the title - “At 453 KM/H, China Tests World’s Fastest, New-Gen High-Speed Train That Is Safer, Energy-Efficient & Intelligent” - is still a lie. Not only is there an Ouroboros of bad journalists republishing other bad journalists’ work but making it even worse (more like a human centipede of journalism I suppose), but all the journalists involved are dishonest hacks who want to lure readers in with false claims about “world’s fastest train”!
“Engineers hope it will reach 621 mph” - no they don’t. Your source for this claim is an article that makes it abundantly clear that a completely different train is being discussed.
Inglis states that China plans to build a country-wide high-speed maglev system
This is a claim I see frequently yet never anything to back it up. Indeed, the “source” is just some researchers saying they hope it becomes a thing one day. This is only marginally more serious than Elon promising we’re going to build a transcontinental vacuum train. I cannot find a single sentence about maglev in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and I have not seen a single journalist reach out to the appropriate ministries to conduct an interview about the possibility.
Inglis claims that “unlike with highways and traditional train tracks, animals can cross safely underneath maglev railways”
What? Do they think maglev tracks levitate off the ground or something? You still need to build a track. High speed trains cannot make sharp turns, so the track has to be very straight. In Japan, this means the majority of the Chuo Shinkansen will be in a tunnel. In China, a lot of high-speed rail is built on viaducts. Does this really “split the landscape”? This ridiculous claim is not Inglis’ original thought but is instead copied almost word-for-word from the International Maglev Board. They will obviously say whatever to get people to buy maglevs.
Never trust a China train journalist!
Oh dear. They’re huge on mobile at least
Well, this is 1978 Houston
That’s the city at its worst. It’s slightly better now. I don’t know nearly enough to accurately describe the state of automobile infrastructure in 1973. The year of peak car hell is probably different depending on the city.
Edit: I missed half the point my bad. Trains in the US were hugely in decline and Amtrak was just formed in 1971. Taking a train between those cities may have been awful indeed!
Have you ever tried to go from Boston to New York by train?
Well yes actually and it was decent. Kind of a weird move to take America’s best connected cities as an example for how bad cars have sabotaged transit when you have the entire rest of the country to make your point lol.
The rest of the article is good. The part about luxury automobiles becoming a universal commodity in advanced economies is very poignant considering I just saw a banana republican argue that communism is when everyone has a private jet. The fact that not all luxuries can be universalized really needs to be hammered into the heads of these people that fetishize growth.
Destroying abandoned buildings is important for any city planning. If we leave them behind and just build new things further out, then the city becomes a whole lot less convenient.
It’s pretty funny that the only form of relatively affordable in-person live entertainment now is opera
IRL? Sometimes I can get very passionate. One time my friend was egging me on to talk about Xinjiang because apparently he’d rather ruin a friendship than enjoy a trip to the city. Another time I spent at least half an hour on Discord trying to tell a friend China isn’t literally Satan and later learned he still thought poorly of me because of that a year later.
Online, I will give a genuine response once or maybe twice. Usually they’re unreceptive so I stop responding after that.
Sadly I can’t find a single news article that discusses likely jury bias. In fact, most articles are just carbon copies of each other
Haha, very true patriot! 🦅 🦅
