What is this with the Cheesecake Factory?
I haven’t thought about it in years and suddenly everyone is bringing it up like it’s some kind of cultural touchstone.
@fredsoda
Cheesecake Factory populism is so weird to me because the rise of chain restaurants created over-the-top, replicable dining experiences, which eventually put the final squeeze on mom-and-pop restaurants, such as the US version of trattorias. I would argue those family-owned neighborhood businesses made the dining experience feel more special and pulled communities together. The shift to chain restaurants homogenized American life and concentrated corporate power. Strange to frame corporate consolidation as "populism."
On any medium to long term timeframe, China has increased household consumption more any other economy. All 218 of them…
And not by a little… by a country mile! Twice as fast as second place Asian Tigers.
Do wypipos jess repeat retarded background noise?

It's kinda weird that a marxist country doesn't understand that raising aggregate demand is a core aspect of industrial development. Under the marxist lens democracies succeed because the interests of consumers are represented, accelerating aggregate demand. From abolition, civil rights act, consumerism, wokeism, welfare, etc. half of American history has been innovating on ways to increase aggregate demand.
The hukou system, lack of strong safety net, weak capital markets, cracking down on consumerist media, etc. don't help. I can see why someone would want to avoid overproduction and consumerism but stronger social nets would probably net decrease unemployment here.
The treatlerite is simultaneously America's greatest weakness and strength.
I know very little about Brazil except that it’s the greatest country in the world.
What dafuq is wrong with Americanoids?
Completely and utterly cucked by monopolies who hate you. Tesla hates you dude. Elon Musk thinks y’all’s a buncha retards.
Elon Musk lobbied for and got 100% tariffs on superior Chinese imports. Then Tesla gives you a choice of three FSD models and Americanoids bow and scrape and say thank you… and keep forking over $99/month for the rest of you pathetic lives because cucks are not allowed to own anything.
Chinese car companies give the market +140 L2++ city NOA self driving models – paid for at purchase – and customers and review channels dissect the quality and performance of each systems in minute excruciating detail, with long lists of critiques, often resulting in improved OTA updates. Tesla can’t even get FSD to work in China (vision only doesn’t work in real traffic).
It’s not even that Americanoids are not allowed to have nice things… Americanoids have been trained to get ass raped by oligarchs who hate them and say thank you afterwards.

Mossberg just put 20 ROUNDS OF 12 GAUGE into a short-barrel shotgun.
And I have questions.
The Mossberg 590RM Chisel has an 11.5-inch barrel.
Magazine-fed.
Folding stock.
AR-style safety.
And a 20-round magazine that looks completely ridiculous hanging off something this small.
It's like dropping a Hellcat engine into a Mini Cooper.
It shouldn't make sense.
But somehow it does.
And here's the part I wasn't expecting.
This thing genuinely made me feel like a kid again.
Every time I picked it up, I kept saying the same word.
COOL.
Not sophisticated.
Not revolutionary.
Just cool.
And sometimes that's enough.
Here's my question:
Would you choose a compact 20-round shotgun over a traditional tube-fed shotgun?
And if you're loading 20 rounds…
BUCKSHOT or SLUGS?

Well I’ll be darn… somebody getting chewed out at the CIA tomorrow morning…

This is right on the cusp of a typical +30 IQ difference conversations I often have with butthurt wypipos.
🤔
Except he’s right.
Layering in hedonic adjustments, post COVID growth in China is ~8-10% CAGR.
China is the canary in the coal mine… the first economy to hit a patch of hyper-productivity growth driven partially by AI/automation (the other part is continuous levelling up of the workforce).
We are seeing all the promises and the perils of an AI economy on the foothills of an abundance economy… surging production, a kaleidoscope of whizbang products, deflation, ultra competitiveness and unemployment.

Unfortunately, being trans in China is not at all classified as a mental impairment nor illness… when in fact, most of them should be.
The cross dressers and drag queens are jess paraphilia. Can’t see how Western doctors justify their Dr Frankenstein transitioning of these troubled people when what they really need is intense psychotherapy to manage autogynophilia.
China’s doctors have not rejected transitioning autogynophilics, although they do face a higher hurdle.

I like wypipos too. Only problem is, at the slightest hint of cognitive competition with Azns, they freeze up and lose 20-40 IQ points.
Like, why do they do that? They jess roll over, pout and quit.
It’s infuriating 😡😡😡

That’s exactly the right question to ask!

“If President Xi is able to pull off average growth of 3-4% in his 10 years in office, he would have accomplished something that we should really be astonished…”
China grew 6.2% CAGR in Xi’s first 10 years.
Should we be twice as astonished?
😬… c’est domage
La France aurait pu devenir 3eme puissance mondiale si Chirac n'avait pas saboté cette rencontre diplomatique.
La France avait commis, sous Mitterrand, l'affront de vendre des frégates à Taïwan, chose inacceptable pour Pékin. Il s'en était suivi un froid diplomatique considérable, aggravé par les soupçons de corruption qui entouraient cette affaire, et les Chinois avaient donné un coup d'arrêt à leur coopération avec la France.
Tout change avec l'élection de Chirac, auréolé de l'image du gaulliste. Les Chinois ont une mémoire d'éléphant : ils n'ont jamais oublié que de Gaulle fut le premier chef d'État occidental à briser l'isolement diplomatique que les États-Unis imposaient à la Chine de Mao, en reconnaissant la République populaire dès janvier 1964. Autant Mitterrand était détesté à la fin de son second mandat, autant Chirac fut reçu en ami. Il arrivait à Pékin pour une visite d'État, des commandes industrielles sous le bras, au premier rang desquelles la vente d'Airbus.
Il y avait fort peu nombreux dans la pièce : six Chinois, six Français, et les deux interprètes. Jiang Zemin fait asseoir Chirac dans de larges fauteuils et l'accueille avec déférence : « Vous êtes ici chez vous, je vous écoute. » Il laisse parler son hôte, puisque c'est la France qui a fait le déplacement. Chirac exprime sa satisfaction de venir renouer les liens, et le président chinois l'interrompt pour lui rendre un hommage appuyé : « Nous savons que vous êtes un héritier du général de Gaulle. La Chine n'a pas oublié sa clairvoyance ni sa vision, lui qui, en 1964, a reconnu le premier la République populaire. Vous êtes un ami de la Chine. » Puis il tend une perche décisive : « J'espère que nous pourrons bâtir des relations stratégiques. »
La réponse de Chirac fut un crève-cœur. Au lieu de saisir la main tendue, il se réfugie derrière Bruxelles : « Merci, monsieur le président, mais la France construit désormais l'Union européenne. L'an prochain viendra l'euro, la grande monnaie européenne, et c'est par l'Union que devront passer les relations de la Chine. » J'observais Jiang Zemin ; il ne disait rien, mais un nuage passait dans son regard, une surprise teintée de tristesse de voir le prétendu successeur de De Gaulle s'effacer derrière une construction supranationale.
Il l'invite seulement à poursuivre, et Chirac enchaîne : « Je suis venu car nous avons un projet de vente d'Airbus. »
Voilà où nous en étions : d'un côté un chef d'État qui offrait un partenariat stratégique à l'héritier revendiqué de De Gaulle ; de l'autre un président français qui rabaissait son propre pays au rang de simple province de l'Union, avant d'enchaîner sur son article à vendre.
Jiang Zemin se fait souffler quelques mots, puis répond : « Oui, je sais. Il est prévu que nous signions un accord portant sur une vingtaine d'Airbus. »
Chirac insiste pour obtenir davantage : puisque ces appareils étaient acquis, ne pourrait-on monter à vingt-huit ou trente ?
La scène était pénible. On lisait dans le regard des Chinois ce qu'ils pensaient : était-ce donc cela, le successeur de De Gaulle, un homme venu marchander quelques avions, de surcroît fabriqués en partie hors de France ?
Le président chinois l'écoute, puis répond par un proverbe, car les Chinois raisonnent volontiers par analogie : « J'ai bien compris, monsieur le président : vous aimez beaucoup les avions. Mais comme on dit chez nous, on ne finit pas un repas en une seule bouchée. Nous aurons l'occasion d'en acheter d'autres une prochaine fois. Puis-je encore faire quelque chose pour vous ? »
Tout est là : un refus implacable, enveloppé d'un sourire, assorti d'une pointe ironique et d'un congé courtois. En dix minutes, Jiang Zemin avait saisi qu'il avait devant lui un représentant de commerce, et non le chef d'une puissance dotée d'un siège permanent au Conseil de sécurité.
I hate the SeeSeePee 😡
Taiwan’s adult-film industry was built for Chinese viewers in a country where making adult films is illegal. When China’s crackdown hit, it collapsed.
China was the core customer. With no legal domestic industry, Chinese men aged 25 to 35 became the market. Producers like Madou Media filmed in Taiwan, where uncensored production is legal, then tailored everything for China: Chinese dialogue, simplified-Chinese packaging, mainland accents, and apps harder for censors to block. Madou claimed tens of millions of downloads.
The money came through gambling. Content was often free or cheap to push viewers to online casinos, with producers paid via ads. Insiders told BBC Chinese the 2020 boom was driven by Chinese demand, gambling advertising, and gray capital. At its peak, more than 20 companies released 180 to 300 titles a month.
China pushed back. Its cyberspace regulator listed Madou’s app for removal in 2020. In 2022, Shanghai police dismantled three filming crews supplying Madou and similar platforms and arrested 24 people. Broader crackdowns on online gambling and telecom fraud then cut off the gray money sustaining the sector.
Madou shut down permanently on 2 April 2026, citing piracy and an unsustainable market. Rumors linked it to Cambodia’s Prince Group and its alleged gambling and scam networks, but Madou denied this. The BBC found only timing overlaps, not proof of ownership.
An industry that existed because of Chinese demand and Chinese-linked money could not survive once Beijing cut both off.
