Don't worry comrade, see the bright side: you're not French!
Pootin my pants when the Ukrainians bomb the Dumbass
Kamala causes the Roaring
Think of them not as people, think of them as Americans
If you wanna practice Chinese especially you'd best avoid BJ and SH
Can confirm, learning this the hard way. Coming to a top Chinese university will mean that your local peers will be among the top students in the country, and thus they usually won't have the free time to connect with foreigners.
Here is the Qiushi article in which he says so (at the start of part II). The specific context in which he mentions a global reserve currency is when listing the attributes of a "financial powerhouse," the first of which being:
"a strong currency that is widely used in international trade, investment and foreign exchange markets, holding the status of a global reserve currency." (translated by DeepL, emphasis mine)
I don't think there is any mention in the Qiushi article about domestic consumption from what I can tell, though I guess this makes sense for an article focused on financial & monetary policy...? However part of me wonders whether strengthening the RMB could be a disguised way of boosting consumer spending without having to address the domestic issues behind the slump (and thus avoiding to address the neoliberal elephant in the room)? (my hope is that I'll be corrected on this assumption!)
idk, I've seen worse /s
No fucking way, he beat it???!!! why do ghouls always live forever...

The previous Hexbear Revolutionary Calendar is gone, along with the account that posted it; clearly, it is proof that it was not good enough. Below is the TRUE Hexbear Revolutionary Calendar (HRC).
Spoiler
It is almost the exact same, I just didn't remember some details. Also I'm hijacking this out-of-character part of the post to say I'm sorry for the puns.
:
The HRC starts on 29 June in the old calendar, as this is the day that r/chapotraphouse was banned. All months are 30 days long, and there is a 5-6 day period between the end of the last month and the start of the new year. Rhyming months indicate the season.
The months are as follows (with the equivalent in the old calendar in parentheses):
Spoiler 2: Month names boogaloo
Some of the months are named to reflect what happened in this month (the banning of the sub; the births of Stalin, Mao and other figures; the deaths of Rosa Luxemburg and Ho Chi Minh; the 
-ing of Trotsky; the October Revolution…). Others aren't. Don't look into it too much.
Five-to-six additional days are added, representing AES:
Today is 27 Stalinaire, Year 5.
The Lao People's Democratic Republic celebrated its 50th anniversary on December 2, 2025, with a grand national ceremony and parade at the That Luang esplanade, a testament to a half-century of national, protection and development.
The event was presided over by Mr. Thongloun Sisoulith, General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and President of Laos. It was attended by Mr. To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, alongside high-ranking Party and state officials, representatives from friendly nations, the diplomatic corps, international organizations, revolutionary veterans, and Vientiane residents.
In a comprehensive address marking the historic milestone, President Thongloun Sisoulith reflected on the nation's journey. "Throughout the 50-year period of the mission to protect and develop Laos, it has firmly confirmed the genuine revolutionary tradition as a lesson for continuing to lead the country forward," he stated. He emphasized the unwavering commitment to the socialist ideal, the great national unity of all Lao ethnic groups, and the continuous strengthening of the people's democratic regime.
Looking ahead to a complex regional and international landscape, President Thongloun outlined the nation's steadfast foreign policy of peace, independence, friendship, and cooperation. Domestically, he stressed the goal of building a self-reliant economy, following a balanced development path that harmonizes economy, culture, society, and environment toward green and sustainable growth.
The vision, as set in the Party's political program, aims for Laos to become a upper middle-income developing country with a strong political system and a modern economic base by the 100th anniversary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party in 2055.
Following the speech, a vibrant and orderly parade commenced, symbolizing national unity and progress. The first procession featured the national and Party flags, the national emblem, and delegations from the President's Office, the Prime Minister's Office, and the National Institute of Economic and Social Sciences. The second procession showcased the strength and discipline of the national defence and public security forces.
The third and largest segment was a mass parade comprising 20 contingents, including the December 2 Youth Corps, the Lao People's Revolutionary Youth Union, the Lao Women's Union, the Lao Federation of Trade Unions, the Lao Front for National Construction, along with representatives from the justice system, various economic and social ministries, and cultural and tourism sectors.
The celebration served as both a proud reflection on five decades of achievement and a confident declaration of Laos' path toward a peaceful, independent, democratic, united, and prosperous future.
