The semi-tabloid thing is probably about the actual format of the paper, i.e. what size paper it’s published on

Kind of annoying how the article leaves it to the end to mention that they did it to everyone who went past 5 minutes
Counter point: propaganda value aside, it really is pathetic how long it took the u.s. to kill bin laden. Especially when you consider that the taliban offered to hand him over to the u.s.
Wait until you hear about ω1CK

I’ve heard that they could theoretically be used to find ways of folding molecules, something that’s pretty big in chemistry and pharmaceutics. I think they could also just generally be used for physics simulations (I say “could” because the question of what a quantum computer can theoretically do is very different than the question of what can actually be built)
That’s probably for the best tbh
It’s not actually racist, it’s just a joke about how the name ‘Chongqing’ sounds kind of like a common racist way of mocking the Chinese language in English, and implying that the city was named with that modern, anglo-centric context in mind, when obviously that’s not the case
It’s to bypass slur filters 😔
The actual answer is that they represent different sounds in Chinese: ‘ch’ represents a voiceless aspirated retroflex affricate and ‘q’ is a voiceless aspirated alveo-palatal affricate; basically ‘ch’ is made with the tip of the tongue more towards the roof of the mouth and ‘q’ with the middle of the tongue raised like you’re saying a “y” sound. But to English speakers they both kinda sound like “ch”
sorry tankies but Wade-Giles is the anti-racist option
“Praxeology” is an older term going back to mises, who was writing after marx, but I don’t think it’s related to the marxist notion of ‘praxis’ except etymologically. Still deeply unserious nonsense though

Eh, I grew up with screen time limits and I mostly just read and autisticly paced around the back yard while imagining stuff. When I was really little, occasionally my parents would take me to camps / day programs at the YMCA where we did sports stuff, and I even was briefly on a soccer team as a little kid, but I was never really interested in sports and my parents never forced it; they introduced me to sports but never forced me into it, and when I never showed interest in doing more sports stuff they left it at that. My guess is that if you never got into sports on your own, then you wouldn’t have even if your parents limited your screen time, and if your parents actually forced you into it you’d probably hate sports even more lol
I hate to break it to you but sports was never gonna do that
This but unironically
