            it’s not even the “orcs” thing that shocked me. it was how immediately they switched, like someone had sent out an update to their firmware.

            there was no confused period where they tried various slurs until they settled on orcs. just orcing, 0-100, from day one.

              It’s not an update to their firmware, just an already existing feature you had yet to see.

      Overall, we rate Radio Free Asia as Left-Center Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that slightly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record. (11/28/2016) (Updated D. Van Zandt 06/18/2024)

    It would be such a massive governmental failure to have a bunch of educated young people go unemployed/underemployed. China probaby puts them in indentured servitude by chaining a bunch of student loans to them, and uses increasingly unaffordable potential homeownership as a carrot to get as much labour as they can from them. Those evil commies.

    Probably fresh from reddit and just assumed any english speaking board dedicated to content about china would be the same as what they’re used to on reddit.
