My attempt at a joke β€œPrat attitude” the degree to which one can be described as a prat tosser or bellend. I find people who move overseas then slag off their home country to be prats

Even in China people are quite chatty just nobody writes anything down once you write something down it becomes official so if you don’t write it down, it’s not official

Incidentally I know you’re a Desert War expert but I was there a few years ago and enjoyed visiting the old Ford factory. The cities role in World War II is really quite fascinating.

I think also just measurable level of pratarude. We all know those sorts who get their nose bent out of shape when they hear foreign accent in the pub.

Just based on personal experience while colleagues who have family in China are more cautious what they publish I have never actually seen anyone in discussion shy away from sensitive topics

I have been told by many of Singaporean it’s actually quite dull. Funnily enough one of my Singaporean students said she really wants to move to London because it’s so much more exciting and grimy πŸ˜‚

New rule. All PhDs keep a physical copy of their thesis on hand, when we are acused of being a fraud by randos on the internet. Rando presents themselves at the University quad to recive a blow across the face with our physical thesis. If it doesnt exist it wont hurt..otherwise it will hurt a lot ;)

Having read through this rubbed my eyes in shock and horror I must hope you have been arguing some sort of odd robot.

So, this has been a lot of fun, and really good for my thought process on a bunch of things. I will add a few more probably as they occur to me but I am not going to hit 200+ posts, I apologize.

Ah Yes, I see the confusion. My apologies I was an Open Source Intel analyst part of my remit was violent crime in Europe. The censoring of TMNT no doubt follows a long British phobia of all things ninja related truly fascinating. πŸ˜‚
