I was having a conversation with my radlib friend earlier and he was telling me about this like "and they're gonna make a moon base, it's all so cool and exciting " and I simply could not hide my disdain for the idea that the US would ever do anything cool or exciting lmao

It felt like talking to one of those cultists who are like "you'd better get your affairs in order because next week Jesus is gonna be here!" Like yeah dude, I'm sure, let's talk next month about how that went

Human

Turns out being a human is pretty sick

I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm informing you of how this word is used in english-language spaces because you are using a definition which we do not use in english-language spaces. I defined it for you and explained to you the way it is used in english-language spaces, so if you want to keep using your incorrect definition you're going to keep running into this problem.

In English, furry means anything on the spectrum from anthropomorphic animal to a human with animal traits. Any animal trait at all makes it furry. Any anthropomorphic trait in an animal also makes it a furry.

Your profile picture is furry art, because it's an animal with the anthropomorphic trait of tool use. The Warrior cats series is a furry series, because it's about house cats with the anthropomorphic traits of language, culture, tool use, etc. The art you posted in the other comment in this thread is furry art because it's art of humanoids with animal characteristics.

Everything on that spectrum is furry.

You can argue about it all you like but you're simply wrong.

English isn't my language

This is where the confusion is coming from. Everything you mentioned is considered furry art in English. There may be a distinction in your native language but there isn't in English.

It’s a not a trivial question to get an answer for by googling.

I literally googled "ethnic groups in china wikipedia" and "ethnic groups in the US wikipedia" and the results (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_China & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States) seem to immediately and unambiguously reject the idea of China as some kind of homogenous ethnostate that the US can't emulate because it has too high a concentration of melanin or whatever fascist bullshit you were trying to say.

I lwonder if China’s population is more or less ethnically and culturally homogeneous than that of the USA,

It comes across as extremely insincere to just pose these questions publicly. If you actually wondered that, you would look it up. What you're actually doing is covertly implying an answer that you think is true and would never question, without having the spine to actually state that answer yourself because you know that you have no actual facts to back up what you're suggesting.

we had the most beautiful victory, everyone's saying it, Iran never stood a chance

The king of iran said to me yesterday, "Mr. Trump you're too powerful, we can't beat you, please accept our unconditional surrender" and I told him that wasn't good enough! I made him apologize to me for this terrible war and now we're going to make Iran great again

Please buy my hats

Also if some random youtuber is blanket demonizing CI,

I think this is the kind of accusation you shouldn't make as someone who admitted to not even checking out the YouTuber in question. He's not "blanket demonizing CI" he's running an extremely long, intensive experiment to test the claims people make in favor of this method, and the results are not particularly impressive.

If he just wanted to "blanket demonize" anything he wouldn't bother dedicating so much of his life to it (it certainly doesn't make him much money!) he's doing it because he's passionate about language learning and wants to understand different methods of learning and their pros and cons.

CI is, by the way, of course a good component of learning a language. You should be using it. But the idea that it is, on its own, an effective method with no other studying or supplementation strikes me as obviously absurd, as shown by the YouTube series in question.

Comprehensible input is becoming a cult and I've seen good evidence this method does not really work.

Here's the latest video in a series from a skeptic trying dreaming Spanish, he's 800 hours in and he's... well behind 800 hours in a classroom, at least.

The criticism is that westerners believe in something that both doesn't exist (the popular "social credit" myth) and also is much closer to existing where they live.
