I’m feeling pedantic today, so enjoy a little geography lesson:

“Ordos City” is more like a province or prefecture, spanning an area the size of South Carolina or Azerbaijan and having multiple cities of similar sizes. Much of China is like this, “prefecture-level cities” that also have “county-level cities” beneath them.

The “ghost city” isn’t Ordos as a whole but the Kangbashi New Area, which was planned for a population of 300,000 and had an estimated population of 153,000 in 2017, according to Wade Shepard in Forbes .

The photo in the OP is from Dongsheng, the biggest city in Ordos whose population is 572,000 and which had the seat of government before it moved to Kangbashi. Fortunately, Kangbashi looks similar so it’s not a big deal, here’s a photo of it:

At 14:30:

[people who want to live in dense, walkable neighbourhoods] will be pushed into corporate slop blocks, just like the housing blocks of old Soviet Eastern Europe.

In regards to the map painting, I love Berann’s paintings. The one of Yellowstone was my laptop wallpaper for a while.

They do have AC, the first batch pf vehicles was delivered a few months ago

“Taiwanese” would be Taiwanese Hokkien, however the lingua franca is Mandarin. There’s also a large Hakka minority.

I’m assuming by “immigrants” they’re referring to Chinese people who moved into big cities, especially the rich ones on the coast like Shanghai and Shenzhen.

There’s the whole deal with how because they’re still registered with the place they came from (the hukou system was meant to encourage rural Chinese to stay and grow the economy there), they can’t access certain services, so Western talks about “second-class citizens” and the like.

The answer is

Same with “black hole”. So easy to translate, but nah, it’s “burakku hooru”

Also the DPRK, I remember him scolding tourists who go there after a Korean missile flew over where he lived and set off air alarms. His video on that went viral.

That’s about European car prices in general, to be fair. But the case also mentions China, but the author himself points out the biggest flaw:

Or HL fans launching a crusade against Mega Man because they “got rick rolled by the Blue Bomber himself” as a r*dditor put it: :

You can disable them in the game rules if you (understandably) find them too annoying, which goes for many things.

But I understand the sentiment of “why” like with those “Trial chambers”, it does make the game feel bloated and unfocused.
