a little off-topic, but I just opened a Criterion Channel subscription a week or two ago and I’m loving it so far. price is nowhere near as high as other streaming services and I’ve watched all kinds of amazing movies I likely wouldn’t have watched before.

it’s a bad show but I kinda liked it

the Go programming language, I think it’s a gopher?

But is it wrong to think China is just straight up superior as a country in nearly every facet to America? The infrastructure, the home ownership, poverty alleviation, health care access.

some stuff seems to be worse. people work much more and get fewer days off. air pollution has gotten much better over the past decade, but still isn’t good in some areas. tap water isn’t really safe to drink. stuff like immigration is harder - you could never become a citizen and getting permanent residence is hard unless you’re married to a Chinese citizen.

people can tell me if I’m wrong, this is based on my reading and talking to some Chinese friends.

The Wire. I tried watching that show like four times, and only ever made it an episode or two. it starts so slow and boring.

the first season was so, so good, seems like it went downhill ever since

was S4 any good? I don’t think I watched past 3
