Anyway, he goon-stared at every girl he walked by. Like, he would turn his head and then move it up while he scanned them from bottom to top. For some he would turn around and walk backwards for a few steps while staring, and then continue forward. He did his for every single drat girl he walked by. People were staring at him staring at girls, especially when we were going past the bus stop. It was embarrassing to be walking a bit behind him because I felt like people were going to assume I was going to do the same. It was just so drat goony.
I'd speak with more respect if I were you. Clearly this man is a master-level practitioner of Mongolian Eye Rape, part of a rich cultural history*.

P much. Those women want to be talked to or are looking for someone to talk to and/or more. The girls at the bus stop just want to go home after work. If goons can't understand the difference then for shame.

I've already forgotten. I do have an update on the Mongol:

I unblocked her. She immediately noticed (hecking my account multiple times a day it seems) and sent me several messages in a friend request saying she was sorry and misses me. I added her just to see what she want to say, and she said that she doesn't know how to handle her emotions when she starts to like someone, due to not having much experience. I told her it's a learning process and with experience she will be alright. She asked if she could stay the night and I said no. Then she said I was too immature for her and my dick was "like a Japanese penis." I asked her what that meant and she said Japanese are the worst, so I have the worst penis. I said goodbye and deleted her and I think that's it. She never made an attempt to come over, and hopefully it stays that way.

Can I get a red text avatar with "HAS A JAPANESE PENIS"??

In True China News - I am at home right now changing clothes because everyone is napping at work and I went to take a leak and sprayed hot diarrhea into my pants without any warning. In the West I would laugh at how weird this is, but in China it's "Not again! Fuuuuuuuuuck."

Is this another "defending chewing with the mouth open as a culture thing" discussion? It's just ironic to me that only now they think "well, maybe we should shut down all the whorehouses in respect of the god king". I also love all the extra warnings about committing Lesè Majesté. But the funniest thing here is my friend getting hosed over on his vacation due to bad timing

I'll just say, gently caress monarchies and gently caress all cults of personality even more. Hopefully the new king is so lovely it brings everything down with him.

The chewing with your mouth open equivalent here is bitching that your bogan adventure fantasy might be slightly encumbered since the king died while you were in Thailand. No matter what your personal opinion is on the king or monarchs or whatever else you have to be world class howling oval office to breathe a breath of that in people's faces in Thailand right now. I lived in Thailand for around two years and never met a Thai person who didn't respect or even love the king and this is talking behind closed doors, person to person.

This is a huge, historic moment in Thailand's modern history and it would be amazing to be there for it.

Thai people are open and funny and the country people can even be gullible but when it comes to politics or understanding what is meant behind what is actually said they're very savvy. I find it unlikely that the king tricked them into their current opinion of him. By most accounts he seems to be a man who was placed in a position of considerable responsibility who took that responsibility completely seriously and worked his whole life to meet it.

His brother would have been a much better king had he not committed suicide shooting himself in the back of his head with his non-dominant hand and ending face up on his bed. (MUUUUUURDER) They also killed the servants that found the body for some reason

Hopefully the new king will meet a similar fate the second he steps out of line and doesnt do exactly what the military tells him to do.

The late king did some public works a long long time ago but he was somehow built up to a near jesus-like figure through constant propaganda and enforced bowing to his image.

He was an okay guy that was built way up by the government as someone he wasnt

I don't know why you assumed I was mad about it or that I would even consider visiting thailand but lol good riddance. Pretty sure he worked really hard to somehow have the richest royal family in the world in a poor third world country

pretty sure it would be amazing to spend money to visit a place where everyone is majorly depressed and it's about to have the coup evolve into super coup level 2 with even more Lesè Majesté arrests than it already has.

It's pretty low in my list of countries that I'd like to visit. Thai food is good but doesn't grab me and that's my main motivation to visit places. It's just funny to be patronized like this while being someone who lives in a third world country that moved away from monarchy not that long ago and lived through a military dictatorship. Brazil still hasn't really fully recovered from either. gently caress kings and military juntas. I respect the Thai people and I'm pretty sure they would manage just fine without either like we did.

Thailand has a lot of extremely beautiful places to visit, both in terms of ancient architecture and art and in terms of nature. The people are unbelievably friendly, the food is amazing (just lol at a Brazilian having an opinion on good food), and everything is cheap. Some of the women have dicks, which is cool. We get that you don't like monarchy. I don't think a lot of goons are die-hard monarchists. Hth.

They went back and forth about what the explanation was supposed to be, so they accused those servants of murder, tried and executed them, then went back to calling it a suicide, and I would never disrespect Thailand by implying that that explanation has any holes in it.

Thailand is a really wonderful country full of really great people, and it has a huge amount to offer that have nothing to do with drinking lovely, overpriced beers in places where the women are wearing numbers as nametags.

here's some good china.txt

my company is starting new marketing stuff because our new office is so nice. they've started posting numerous pictures of white people at universities in the united states or england, none of which are any of our employees or students, and none of which are universities i have ever been to. they are doing this with the slogan "come to xxxxx company! 100% of our students get in to top 50 universities in the usa!"

this is kinda dumb and frustrating for 2 reasons.

1) 100% of our students do not get into top 50 unis. in fact we have sent dozens upon dozens of kids to unis ranked 50-100. i know this, because i know the kids that are personally there studying.
2) in the past 4 years, three different times my company has given me a combined budget of ~10,000USD to go back to usa and plan my own trip through ivy league schools and good west coast schools, and i've spent hours upon hours of time meeting with admissions people from yale to harvard to princeton to cal-berkeley to boston college to washington to UCLA. and i've taken hundreds of photos of our old students there doing stuff.

so i asked the marketing girl about this and she was like "its our new plan" and i was like "well isn't the plan not correct, we've sent a lot of kids to not top 50 schools" and she goes "oh we are only talking about the top 50 students". so our new marketing slogan really is "of all the kids we've sent to top 50 universities, all of them went to top 50 universities". sounds...well, it sounds like someone not from the foreign department thought it up.

furthermore, when i asked them why they didn't use the hundreds of pictures and information that they paid me for and then gave me over ten thousand dollars to use to go do, the girl said "we just decided to use Baidu images"

at least we have a new office

this is the same company in the same country that in 2010 the head of the entire Education department (my job now, but before it was this Chinese dude) gave a student an essay to turn in with their university of Michigan application that the guy took from the university of Michigan application website. Word for word. He plagiarized the sample student essay for the Michigan application off the Michigan website. And the student sent it in without checking with any of the foreigners

There was the collective :ughh: and we asked the Chinese guy "why would you do this" and he said "it was on Michigan website they must have thought it was good"

:ughh:

Foreigners get poo poo on all the time in China but I have like 30 pages in a word document like this that show how even the most alcoholic foreigner who failed out of high school is needed in China. Imagine hiring a company of college grads (30% of our foreign staff had masters, lol!) and not letting them do anything in marketing or admissions, despite us constantly asking to help in our free time
