The high speed rail goes all the way inland to Chengdu at the moment, and all the way down the coast to Guangzhou

Further than that. Pretty much every city is connected unless by HSR you only mean the 300kph ones. You can take the 200kph to almost everywhere, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi. Beyond that you can also take the old fashioned 绿皮 to every tiny city, it's romantic but slow and often annoying (and hot in the summer).

travel across the country from Peking to Shanghai.

If you start in Beijing you can go to so many interesting places though. Go BJ-> Xi'an-> Chengdu -> Chongqing maybe. All of those are huge cities but much more interesting, cultural and lets you see some real china than going to Shanghai. Don't go to Shanghai, it's more like an international city, and anything you can see there you can also see in more interesting cities.

lol this show is awesome. bland yet miserable protagonist. pronouns. laugh track that goes "whoo!" when a cool character enters the sitcom house. fucking amazing. like even dumber than a 2002 parody of something in an already kinda shitty south park episode

edit: the big setup and payoff when the old guy gets

I say this confidently, having seen exactly one takedown style video criticizing them, a channel I've never actually watched.

What really gets me about Seppo houses is the doorknobs, though.

yeah what's the deal with the little globe door handles that give you no leverage and you have to awkwardly twist your wrist to open the door? and what's the deal with the useles little clicky lock thing in the middle? what smart brain designed this bullshit and what lobbyist paid off their whole nation to get them installed everywhere?

what kind of lazy sci fi writing is this where the dominant species increased like 10 tech levels in a century by using some sticky undergroud goop, and they used it both as a combustible fuel, as a solvent, as biochemistry feedstock and to create polymers?

and pretty much all their vehicles are fueled by different versions of this goo? and all of their doodads and doohickeys are made from it? this one underground goo? sure, why not make it a drug that lets you see the future too.

and the economies of entire neo-feudal states are based entirely on sitting on top of this goo? come on.

and the goo is so cursed that it causes Gaia's Vengence on the whole planet? storms and droughts and corruption of the flesh? is this science fantasy now?

i expected better from the writers honestly.

i might be corsica (but this is disputed)

what if i get my opinions from four or five midwestern gen-xers who drink craft beer (and one of them drinks soft drinks)
