@orikron Follow where it gets delivered. Just because it got delivered, does not translate to it being given t the stores and people.

@Lucyna_Gos Nope, that's the per person number. Cuba is a rice eating country. 160 grams of rice per day is super reasonable. Average Chinese person eats 133kg a year for comparison.

@orikron I'm with you on the importance of this generous act but I doubt that average Cuban is able to eat 60kg of rice/year because it would mean 5kg/month. It's rather 6kg/year and therefore it'll be enough for all people

If Japan was actually governed by a truly different set of people, this wouldn't be a gaffe. The problem is the Japanese ruling class are *literally* the grandkids of people like The Monster of Manchuria and the butchers of Nanking and they are ideologically unrepentant.

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

@itsoverkitten I lived right by Siena. Great place to be in Italy if you can put together like 60k for an apartment and have friends. Anyone with higher ambitions leaves though.

If you wrote a fictional historical drama where one of the countries goes around slaughtering and embargoing nations and the other one just does business and aids them in whatever way they can, it would seem a tad contrived.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

China is helping Cuba capture renewable solar energy as the U.S. imposes an effective oil blockade, creating its worst energy crisis in decades. Chinese-backed solar parks could be supplying as much as 10 percent of Cuba’s electricity, researchers say. wapo.st/47SpRTd

@Jonas_Ceika I have never heard you articulate a response to the theses of US unipolarity, its corresponding dollar hegemony, its global patronage network and value chain hierarchies that make the current state of the world-system fundamentally different from that preceding it.

There are some self-described Marxists-Leninists on here who, had they been alive in 1917, would say something like: "Fuck the Bolsheviks for trying to sabotage and overthrow their government when it's trying to defend itself from German imperialists"

@kallipareios @Immanue101 @nxd1979 Most of the media produced in Catalan is about Catalan identity and language. As someone who has tried learning Catalan, it gets kinda boring and self-referential. And digital media is 100% the easiest way for foreigners to learn a language.

@thelokasiffers @nxd1979 Any native Spanish speaker should be able to get B1 Italian comprehension in 1 month or less and B1 output at around 6 months. If you can't, then it's probably a good filter

@nxd1979 you’d be surprised how much of a filter this is in those regions too, where the bulk of Italian passport seekers are

@nxd1979 @punisheditalian know a guy who has been married to an Italian woman for 20 years and was very lucky to start his Italian citizenship process just before the b1 requirement came in because he would even fail A1.
