Wouldn't it be great, though, if humans were no longer working warehouse jobs that strain their backs and their bladders?

When reading the article, I was surprised to not see the other studies mentioned alongside the strict survival results. In developed/industrialized countries, the number of years a child has an involved father predicts their future inc

Fathers who are soldiers away on deployment who can only see their newborn over zoom also have the dip. But only if they've been closely tracking the pregnancy and birth. Apparently the dip is not observed in fathers who are deployed s

Excerpt from the article: Jobs in health care, recreation and hospitality report the highest level of job openings, relative to employment. Many of these involve plenty of person-to-person contact, making their workers especially vulnerable

I'm literate enough to read the entertainment section of a newspaper, and get a perfect score on the SAT 2 Chinese language test in the US. Technically, I wouldn't really be considered literate for an adult though. When I came to

My dad sends me articles about it on WeChat all the time, but I have difficulty reading it since my Chinese reading comprehension is barely at a 3rd grade level. They do make a big deal about it and it gets lots of coverage.

Just checked the link at least three times, and I don't see how this is related to the article. Are you reading the same article or did you post this by accident?

It's not any more or less dystopian than a plane pulling a Coors Light ad. However, I've noticed the negativity around anything China related, and it just triggers memories of the kind of double standards my family was subjected t

You'd have to take an action to view the advertisement, otherwise, it's just dots. I kinda wish all other ads were like that, tbh.

My mom lives in Shanghai, and yes, that's how automated contact tracing works. You have to show that you're not in the "potentially exposed" category before potentially being a super spreader in a crowded place. It makes

Some cultures have normalized this (good hygiene and mask wearing when sick) since the 1917 pandemic. I'm cautiously optimistic that it can take hold in the West this time around.

Sometimes, paying people well goes hand in hand with opportunities for growth. The "bamboo ceiling," which is similar to the "glass ceiling" is a source of frustration for some technical employees who find themselves stu

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the definition of excess deaths means they're not literally counting every person who died, including from old age or car accidents, but theoretically attributable to a cause. For example, researchers

For real. When I hear "cows are like a member of the family" I think "oh, like cats and dogs are members of my family." And if everyone around me had to adjust to a culture where dogs were treated like the dairy and veal

My mom, who lives in Shanghai, orders 'nai pian' on taobao as one of her favorite snacks. Apparently it's yogurt chips (not yogurt balls) and it's very popular, and people generally think of it as being from Mongolia, bu

I just ordered some from a few sources, and hopefully one of them is good. Found one on Amazon, one on Etsy, and one from Bonanza. They're supposed to have great shelf life, so I guess they are well suited for e-commerce. I felt like i

A bit of cultural context on "996" even though most of my cousins in China don't work in tech, the context is useful. The mandated retirement age is 60 over there so most of my aunts and uncles who have grandkids are primary
