-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Xi was literally a plumber and got caked in shit regularly building poop reactors for heating
If this is true, my whole world has just been made 100% more amazing.
Super Mario Brothers theme plays in my head every time I see a picture of Xi
Its true, from an interview before he was made leader
Everything is better outside the USA, even the "before they were the leader" stories.
The community leaders have a story of him during an emergency (without time change out his clothes into PPE gear) diving into the overflowing clogged poop tank to stop it from exploding lol
Do you know where I can read more about Xi's early/personal life? The bits of his story I do know of are fascinating
Not much different from Vance who is covered in shit often as well when The Help can’t wipe his ass for him
Xi was literally one of the students in the Down to the Countryside Movement.
Do they use the same kind of methane reclamation systems like in the DPRK?

that looks similar to what xi described, yeah
he described it as a big mound of dirt piled on shit with various pipes in it. one of the pipes got clogged (threatening a dangerous explosion) and he unclogged it and got absolutely blasted in the face and mouth with poop. he also said his work crew laughed at him lol and that it humbled him greatly. he said he realized he was not so much smarter than rural people then, they suggested originally that they just evacuate the area and let it explode but he was stubborn and didnt want to lose all the work they did making it.
lol. that's awesome.
