It is all as intended. They didn't stumble into this.

I also think the outrage was talked about more than it's actioned on. And the talk may have also come from foreign troll farms.

My two main fluent languages are not gendered. It was such a weird concept when I started to learn French.

Looks like the "western companies" found a warmongering president to take it back for them.

I think there's a specific transition period that adults that didn't have good habits go through. And it takes time for them to learn how to take care of their adult mind and body.

The unhealthy habits (drinking, eating badly, not sleeping enough, being stationary etc.) are not as easily recoverable anymore, but people are still pushing themselves thinking they have the same vitality. Then it leads to the "everything sucks now" mentality. Give people some time to figure it out.

Like the transition period between summer and fall, everyone's a bit confused for a bit on what to wear to keep themselves warm.

Why are they so invested?

I'm a 5.

Probably why I prefer graphic novels and was not really into textual books that much. I wish I could play a whole movie in my head while reading a book. I'm so jealous.

My dreams are super vivid though, and lucid dream often. And I remember my dreams in heavy detail. My dreams are like a 1 or 2.

Believe it or not, there are plans to "overhaul" the Hukou system.

Recently I think they make it so couples can register their marriage in any jurisdiction. And not have to go to one of the couple's birth town.

I couldn't fully understand whether or not their children's Hukou will now be in the location of their marriage registration. But it's a good step forward and they saw a brief spike in marriage registration overall.

It's so weird that they've been so stubborn about it for so long, even as their cities expand to accommodate migrants and the population growth is slowed.

Actual civil engagement is replaced by brain rot arguments online.

Have a basket of towelettes around. Good for dabbing last drops and seat wipes.
