No, a traffic stop or an interaction with a police officer isn't a detention

Literally just wrong. Detention includes a temporary hold . A traffic stop is a temporary hold. You're just comically wrong. I won't bother replying to the rest because you started your reply with such stupidity.

10,000 people detained out of how many tourists worldwide going to china? Like, I'm just trying to get some context because (1) a massive amount of people visit China every year and (2) how does this compare to other countries. A person being "detained" could literally just be a traffic stop or any other interaction with a police officer.

I guess my point is the article is purposely vague. How would this compare per tourist to the US for example?

Also, what you're mentioning is not at all what I mentioned originally. Which was about the article and Taiwan. You changed the subject to worldwide in order to make the number larger. Which, obviously it would be.

Edit: Asking about actual per capita comparison between countries is bad apparently. I guess "China bad" is heavier than getting actual data. Something this article completely fails to provide.

2.77 Million people visiting China from Taiwan. 65 detained with not a single actual individual person being mentioned in the article. Just vague "went missing or had their personal freedoms restricted"

Why is this news?

Isn't the whole major factor of climate change being that the atmosphere is able to retain more moisture? I may be wrong but I thought I read an article about this. A major shift being a lot of dry periods in regions followed by very wet periods. Essentially the atmosphere can hold more moisture so it has longer dry periods and then much more intense rain and floods. Which would obviously be similar for snowfall.

Yeah. I know you're just adding it for the comment. But don't actually bother the cashier with some grandstanding or lecturing. Honestly, a good "nah, I don't like kids" is a much better response to brighten their day. They've heard Karen complain about the guilt trip nature 100x already.

Broken clock I guess. Not getting rid of radio free Asia though? That's the one we fund that writes articles about how everyone is North Korea has to have Kim Jungeon's haircut and then later write one that says only Kim Jungeon can have that haircut.

Oh, also, the north Koreans have to push their trains by hand.

~~It makes it usable without typing bash~~. Same would apply for a python script. For example you can make a python script named with no extension and add #!/usr/bin/python to the top of the file. Bash shell sees this and knows to execute the script using that python path.

Then you just include the directory in your $PATH and chmod +x the script. Then you can type $python_script instead of $python python_script.py

Protests, strikes, or boycotts with a planned end date are next to useless. You can do that if it makes you feel good. But don't do it in place of real organizing. The best thing you can do now is organizing locally. Join your local PSL and support what they are doing.

Same with my Mom. I told her "yeah, Mussolini did a good job making the trains run on time". She never responded.
