weird opinion here but: dont send pictures of your dick to people

this is actually a straw man argument and was shouted down very early in the argument. no one was arguing to send pics of your dick, people were arguing if it was sexual harassment or not.

i dont think anyone actually argues that sending pics of your dick to anyone is a good thing. its certainly not my style. but no one, literally no one, could agree on if it was harassment or not.

http://www.shanghaiexpat.com/blog/shanghai-and-china/about-china/dutch-ambassador-to-china-suspended-for-allegedly--39982.html

quote:

In a story that's been blowing up the interwebs since Monday, Dutch Ambassador to China Ron Keller is under investigation for apparently sleeping with one of his staff at the Dutch embassy in Beijing. Keller is an experienced diplomat, having served his country in Turkey, Russia and Ukraine and now Beijing where he's been for almost a year.



Foreign diplomats are usually advised against relationships with locals lest they get accused of spying... but that didn't stop Dutch Bill Clinton wannabee from frosting his local colleague's funnel cake.

Are tongue scrapers actually common in India/Pakistan? That story made me wonder if there's anything I fail to do which would gross people out and man, tongue scrapers work. That's what I thought of. I used one for a little while and my tongue never looked healthier and cleaner before or since.

Also helps with breath!
Yes! Tongue scrapers are part of Ayurveda and until the British came people used young Neem tree twigs (the fresh greener parts near the leaves) with the bark peeled. They would rub it on their teeth like brushing and then flip it around and chew and suck on it for a few minutes and then "scrape" the tongue with it. It's bitter as hell and feels pretty cool. The oil and properties in the branch is apparently anti-bacterial/fungal/viral or something. I don't know. Anyway, it seems to work. I've met many, many Indians who don't own a toothbrush and use neem twigs 2-3 times per day since birth and their teeth are white as snow and they never had cavities (so they say). I used it for a while but got too lazy to go out and strip a branch every morning and evening (it needs to be fresh and wet, it's not so good when it's been cut and dried all day).

Anyway, tongue scrapers are standard in every household there. They get really violent with it, but using it lightly does fine.



Most people use stainless steel, but the diehards prefer silver because it kills germs or something. It's also a place where you can't shun drinking a lot of water because it's hot. Despite the pungent armpit odor of the locals, I rarely ever met an Indian with bad breath.

I lived there for several years and have been many times for whatever reason. I drank from a river unfiltered at one point. I never had a problem with the water (except arsenic content), but the times I got sick were always from restaurant food. Even the "trusted" restaurants would eventually get me.

Then one time I got hospitalized and on a bunch of IVs of antibiotics for a while and after that it was like nothing could get me. I even tested it out and did the rounds at the grungiest of street food stalls. Eating paan made by the guy who never washed his hands the whole night of handling money (drat good paan, too). I was in food heaven and I'd ask my Indian friends to take me to the most ghetto places they'd heard about. It's been years, but ever since then I don't get sick in India anymore and eat wherever I want.

China, on the other hand, gives me sharts just looking at the food. My lungs aren't too stoked here, either.

I have an Indian friend who sent me pics once of a very aggressive case of pink eye (I think). He eyes were all puffy, crusty and bulging. He blamed the water. Between that the the poo poo river that is the Ganges, I have convinced myself that India is just toxic.

But I'm impressed you drank unfiltered water dude. Also, as someone who has an uneasy stomach as is -- I can't imagine food that goes out of its way to cause sharts. I'd be the shittiest butt goon.

The Indian water got me now and then, but it wasn't too bad, just sort of sick for a day. Agreed on the food though, that was what made me think I was dying. It was always from "nice" places or even westernized places (2nd sickest I ever got was from a KFC, first was from a place where I got softshell crabs). I'd eat street food if I see the guy cooking/frying it or whatever. Then I'd know it's safe, and it was always awesome. Plus those guys would get sooo excited that a 6'3" blonde guy was eating their food, they'd always get so happy to show me how they made their samosa chaat step by step.

India + China

quote:

China is on the very verge of taking over US markets.What US was 20 years ago,China is now.Major corporations of US is now on the brinks of China takeover. Heck even Chinese Bridges are 15 times bigger than any US bridges.
I laugh when Indians says China will globally fall down.But the western media is worried about the China takeovers.
But from the Indian Media which ranks 144th Globally for its honesty and openness,Indians would never be aware of how the neighbours are progressing.
India has Jhola wala patrakaars who spew how Great India is bullshit everyday.Hence every boneheaded Indian mocks Chinese like ignorant fucks.
This whole thread has some good quotes.

One of my favorite things about Indians in conversation is how impressed and obsessed they are with numbers. Numbers are a very important and proud thing for Indians and the more education they have the more fixated they are on ranks and numbered systems. It permeates all discussion.

Speaking of numbers, last year when I was there I was talking to my friend's son, who is now in university. He said he hated studying and the classes he didn't like he would do the bare minimum to pass. I asked him what kind of marks he needed to pass and fail, and explained the US's A,B,C and corresponding percent out of a hundred. He said 75% and up was considered an A, and to not pass the class you need to get 35% or lower. He said he was shooting for a solid 40% in his least favorite classes and maybe a 50% in the ones needed for his degree (computer science). It meant going to them twice a month and sitting in for exams, and not doing any homework. I told him he will never get a job in CS.

EDIT:

Don't forget Maoism. We have lot of Maoist Areas & Maoism is really popular in China - may be we can also organise Maoist themed tourism of India.

Independence Day 2 showed the Chinese as the best bros of Americans and both worked together to defeat the aliens
Thinks about it,ID is considered one of the best works of American Propoganda,US and yes only US defeats the aliens on American Independence Day no less.And they were pandering to the Chinese,a communist country in the second part,when the original ID and many American Propoganda of that time villainized another Communist country that actually became a superpower during that time.

Infact pandering to the Chinese seems to be the latest trend in American media in general.Indian medias and Rashtravaadis can bark all they want.Same goes for the many Socialists and Commies crying but 'muh 1% owns 90%',stop your bullshit,we live in a capitalist world and this is not 'the glorius mughal/maurya/hindustani/insert-what-empire-that-ruled-india-you-like' era.Here money determines the ones who have power and unlike what r/socialism and r/communism says,the capitalist world is'nt going to end any soon.(And before you say 'muh global warming',guess which countries spends the most on carbon emissions reduction?)

The only time I've seen India become a superpower of future in foreign media in 25 years of my life is in some niche Japanese cartoon nobody cares about.Nobody is scared of the 'Indian Century by 2020',but are prepared for the Chinese Century.

One more edit:

quote:

I went to China for Canton Fair. One can see almost all the product displayed there and buyers from almost all the countries came for that fair and made huge purchases. It just made me realise how far we are compared to Chinese.
My supplier took me to his factory in Shenzen. He was saying the philosophy of the Chinese is Money Money Money everything else is secondary. Money is their religion, money is their God and Money is their life and happiness.

Govt supports the employer and not the employees. Any strike in any company will be struck down by the State police is harsh way so that no more strikes happen in another factory in that region.

I met one of the factory owner from South of India who was manufacturing water motor for almost a decade and he finally had to start buying it from China. He was saying that labour in India is hard and with lots of strikes and poor productivity he was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. Now getting the same product for almost similar price but without any headache of the labour, strikes, bribes, etc.

So unless we get a good labour reforms which is honest and works for both the employees and employer the situation is only going to get difficult.

Manufacturers From China Are Now Stealing Kickstarter Ideas And Launching Them Faster

An Israeli entrepreneur just saw China’s lightning-speed skill in copying ideas right before his very eyes.

Yekutiel Sherman had invented a product selfie lovers would likely pay for called Stikbox.

Stikbox is a smartphone case that transforms into a selfie stick. Sherman made it available for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s in seven colors: blue, white, black, red, green, purple and pink.
Sherman had drawn up prototypes, secured some funding, developed a marketing campaign and sought to try his luck at crowdfunding.

But Sherman’s efforts, resources and time were all in vain just a week after his product went live on Kickstarter. Apparently, they were already selling at AliExpress, according to Quartz said — and Chinese vendors were reaping the profits.

Sherman was shocked to realize that the vendors were selling the exact copy of his product. Worse, they priced them for as low as $8 each, while his product was set at $47.41.
