plainswalker75 posted:Do or do not; there is no why. no zuo no die why you try give me five go high touch the sky I might have the wrong order or maybe forgetting some, I guess I need to good good study study day day up up more. I have a lot of China stories but I suck at writing them out. I know this because I wrote one or two in the last thread and only one person cared. Curse my lovely storytelling. I'll make an attempt: One of my good friends in China was a really short black dude (seriously like five feet tall) and he ended up despising the country. He had an almost impossible time finding dates and got insulted and abused anywhere he went, including by me and another one of our buddies because he worked at a place called "Rainbow House English." He lived in Jakarta for a year I think (kinda forgot how long) and loved it there and said the people treated him much better. I think the night that really pushed him over the edge was unfortunately on his birthday. We went out to San Li Tun to celebrate and ended up getting hammered (him much more so than I) and hanging out until around three in the morning. We split up for a while and agreed to meet up around three to head home (though being drunk this might not have been the best plan but we both ended up remembering to go to the meeting spot). When we met up and were walking to the street to get cabs he told me he was in a bar next to the one we started at and this group of guys was staring at him and talking poo poo even though he hadn't even gone near them. Sure enough as were walking by said bar the group of guys comes out while were walking right by the door. Like I said before my buddy was about five feet tall and I was still like a year and a half away from beginning to workout, so I was scrawny as poo poo, which meant we couldn't rely on Chinese men's natural fear of "big strong foreigners." I told my friend to just walk by and as we were attempting to do so, the leader of the pack (who was definitely more sober than my friend, who was cognizant but not fully aware of what was going on) steps right in front of my friend, who made three attempts to just go around the guy that just kept stepping in his way. My friend had been silent up until the last time, at which point he asked what the gently caress the guy was doing in English since he never ended up learning Chinese. This made the Chinese guy rage and he began yelling in Mandarin about how foreigners are toxic and "white and black devils need to go home" and other friendly things. This riles up his group of friends, which was six or seven guys. During the whole trying to walk around the Chinese guy ordeal, my friend had ended up around ten feet away from me with the gang leader right in front of him. I saw someone give the leader a glass bottle and I started to move in that direction as quickly as my semi-drunk self could, but not only was I not fast enough, I also got speared by one of the group after seeing my friend get hit in the face with the bottle. We got the poo poo beat out of use by like seven guys and nobody did anything to stop them. We're not even sure why they stopped. The only silver-lining was that they didn't steal anything. After this my friend basically didn't leave the house except for work and I didn't see him for months. He had almost no memory of what happened and I had to fill him in. He left China around a week after the last time I saw him. Cuatal fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Jan 13, 2016 |

Or made eye contact with the wrong girl and left. This is also a grievous insult. If they were looking for a fight there was absolutely nothing you could do short of pulling a gun and shooting them or getting in a cab and fleeing. Or having enough of your friends turn up to outnumber them.

A Mainland Chinese student I was partnered up with to do an assignment (a simple presentation about functional and imperative languages, different typing paradigms, etc.) and the slides he sent me are something else. I let him work on functional programming for his part, gave him my university e-mail, and there was no communication between us no matter how many e-mails I sent him. This example is from the slide titled "Coding" which I assume was for some code snippets (requirement of the assignment): quote:Coding Then there's a tiny picture of a linux terminal or something in the corner.

So a friend of mine mentioned that the new Star Wars film wasn't doing so hot in China and I got to thinking about how we could change Star Wars to be more inclusive of this inscrutable 5000 year old culture. Any ideas? Ion cannons don't work because the power cells were actually stolen from the factory and sold off to a third party? Luke's force powers stop working because his qi is out of alignment because he ate to many heating foods or didn't drink enough hot water or whatever? Ewoks getting hunted down and their dried organs getting pounded into powder for boner medicine?

Any ideas? its probably because there's zero asians in the entire movie. marketing studies have found that having even a token asian man (for some reason its specifically male) appear in the movie seems to mysteriously boost attendance in asian countries. at the last minute, Disney hired some kpop star whos not even in the movie to promote star wars because prerelease tests found it underperforming. It's also performed not great across asian markets in general, in several cases even being beaten by local films on opening weekend. Apparently they realized this and the next star wars movie is some prequel starring donnie yen OXBALLS DOT COM fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jan 14, 2016 |
