Samson Chiu's Rose (1992) definitely wouldn't fly today, but it has Maggie Cheung's most likeable performance ever. (She smokes a lot in it too which is the kind of information I think the people want)

Apropos of nothing, I'm just going to remind people looking for translation services that you should hire HUMANS and these humans should be happy to guarantee that they are translating, not editing machine output.

"Next question: how much of your soul are you willing to part with? “Zero” isn’t an option." This, right here, is the big question we all have to ask ourselves every single day. All we can do is try to be the very best version of ourselves in a system that's designed to turn us all into sociopaths.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!
