Keep on being normal platonic friends and doing normal platonic friends things until they get the hint(make sure you are as ambiguous as possible, want to make them very awkward and question everything. If you want to accelerate things, at the coffee meet up you should complain about not being able to find anyone, "I just want to meet someone like [descriptions of friend]" then move to a different country in embarrassment and 10 years later message them about going on a second date.

If you are insecure I guess you could instead say "I meant for coffee to be a date, sorry if I wasn't clear, would you like to go on a date?" and skip all the blissful nights of keep yourself up wondering what they think of you.

A thought experiment (which isn't perfect) is to ask yourself "how would I act if this was done to me", would you be in some awkward limbo if a platonic friend invited you to coffee or would you even think nothing of it or would you jump to this is probably romantic I should make me knowing it is explicit off just being invited to coffee by an established friend and not "be oblivious"? What would it take for you to be like "this is romantic, here is my chance to respond (in interest or disinterest) and this is how I respond..."?

Just started reading because I keep on hearing it is good... I have a feeling I am going to be very annoyed with what they plan with a certain pig character.

How much is the university entrance stuff "real" vs cultural high demand on kids/students? Like can people generally get into a college and get a good education but it just isn't the super "prestigious" schools?

To avoid a .cn-.su split I wonder if it is at all possible to get .kp? There is a .kim

Thought it was just one person with a bunch of sock puppet accounts

hexbear dot party or honeypot dot party

Actually maybe move away from hexbear so this isn't associated with crypto scams

How much oil and other resource are at Red, White and Blueland?

I don't think it is saying "oh they can't because they have a contract that says they can't", especially based off the context of the rest of the article. I think it is basically saying unions don't really have class conscience or militancy and are more worried about getting a contract even if that includes "signing away" your right to strike and have generally been tamed. Then it is saying that unions need their own "mini revolutions" where they wouldn't even rely on contracts(and have the capacity and organization to fight without relying on and being tamed by the NLRB) but that is likely a long term project. Basically, being critical of how many unions work and them relying on contracts but breaking this "habit" won't happen overnight.

Well they can just be replaced with AI, replacing american bots with actual bots will just be more efficient.

It isn't satire, there are many other stories/beliefs that have been passed around that many believed. There is also a conspiracy that american users are lying or greatly exaggerating problems they have. I have even seen the equivalent of calling americans chinese bots(lol) to make china look better.

Anything else being called a roguelike is revisionism used to market games and ignores the fundamental contradictions between adventurers and dungeons
