Everyone knows Republicans in the US aren't held accountable for what they said in plain English.

Historically, President Trump has never taken blame for anything - only credit.

Truthfully, I wouldn't rather want anything but the truth. If the truth is hard work, that is what I want. Many things in life are "easier/cheaper/shortcuts, etc." that I actually do not want because it cheapens the quality of the thing.

I get that you are providing understanding of what it seems most of the voting American public wants, though.

Who is "they"? I'm coming to my own conclusions.

 

This ability of the sorcerer will wipe any one song of your choosing from the pages of history, as if it never existed! Gone from our reality. They were going to do it anyway, but they're making you choose.

Which song would you pick?

Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!

For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon

 

The Chinese studio granted early access on the condition that topics like “feminist propaganda” and “Covid-19” go unmentioned. What followed is the Streisand effect in full force.

“I feel that it only served to bring more attention on Game Science’s culture of sexism,” linktothepabst says. “All they had to do was let the game speak for itself, but it came off, to me, like an own goal, effectively stoking the flames between the people who were using this game as weapon against ‘wokeness in games’ and those who can level-headedly either enjoy the game and criticize GS or just ignore the game altogether.”

It’s the Streisand effect in full force: Try to hide something, and it becomes all the more visible. “Nobody was going to bring up Chinese politics unprompted,” Zhong says, “but the topic was there as soon as they released those guidelines.”

 

One that comes to mind for me: "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

 

A 17-year-old vocational school student from rural China has become a celebrity on social media after reaching the final round of a maths competition, beating many others from top universities and raising questions about the education system.

Most expressed their amazement, while some questioned if it was real. While it was unclear how Ms Jiang ended up in vocational school, her story still reminded some in China of the inequality between rural and urban areas and how that can make it harder for even talented students to climb the economic ladder.

"While Jiang Ping is openly celebrated, many Chinese feel deep down inside that her story highlights the hopelessness of Chinese education," said Jiang Xueqin, a China-based education researcher.
