My AP Euro class was pretty fair I think. If anything it put too much emphasis on the Russians because the teacher was basically a wannabe communist, but that's suburban Minneapolis for you.

I'm too lazy to dig out the Lend-Lease effortpost from the milhist thread, that trolling is way too low effort and flat chested to be worth replying. If anyone really wants to know a thing or two, he can go and ask the dudes there.

I was in Beijing all day today and was at the top floor of some hotel at the bar for meetings and it was supposed to be a nice view but it actually looked like a smog filled wasteland had a great time though Beijing is a cool city

Jose posted:while i'd like to read her adventures like haiers posters in the thread lead me to suggest chinese men would not be able to deal with it I dated a mainland Chinese guy who declared he was going to kill my previous ex, who was Taiwanese, to prove his devotion. Does that count?  I've actually dated a few Chinese guys. Never been to China, though. It's actually kinda the opposite of what you'd think in that a lot of mainland Chinese guys seem to be completely ok being treated like dirt because they're under the assumption that spending X dollars means being entitled to Y affection. FIRST DATE. GIVE GIFT. SECOND DATE. GIFT AGAIN. GET KISSY. Like, every time, for maybe 5 or 6 guys. I mean, guys from everywhere are kind of like that to an extent but the sheer degree of it was eerie. When I was in high school I never had to bother getting a job because a lot of the sons of wealthy immigrants wanted a white girlfriend as fast as possible after moving to North America and hey, I'm a young entrepreneur.

Pirate Radar posted:Alaska is embarrassing to teach about because the Japanese invaded, then left before the American response force showed up (because the islands were useless frozen rocks and the whole point was to plant a Japanese flag on American soil), then the Navy bombarded empty islands for a while and a bunch of guys died during the landings from accidents or friendly fire. Not exactly America's finest hour. America also evacuated Native Alaskans into internment camps where there weren't any supplies and left them to die! It's super neat how my tribe's population dropped almost 30% before and after WWII. My grandma survived the camps and later when she got married had a friend who was a nurse who registered all her babies as white so they wouldn't have to go through the same things she did.

Once the average Chinese guy decides to get a partner and is on his way to marriage, or is married, his own family will pressure the hell out of him from then on to provide for them as well. Her family will nag for a dowry of some ridiculous amount, and in the future she will steal money to send to them. He was mostly free when he was unmarried or single, but loses all hope at a personal life with his own wants and needs the second he announces he has a serious partner. The house and car are just the tip when it comes to getting a "Yes" in a marriage proposal. Their kid also has to live up to her or his/her family's standards of "gimme," and even after marriage he has to continue giving her stuff and vacations if he wants to think of getting sex. It's worse if he has to "keep up with the Jones's" that his mom or his wife are nagging him about, due to Face culture. In some cases I have seen and/or been told about, if she's not stay-at-home with him paying for her, much of the money she makes at her job is for her own spending, but she expects him to still continue provide for her and everyone else in the family. With this, it's no wonder married dudes with extra money just tune-out and get a mistress and ignore the wife and kid. It's cheaper for him and at least he gets the sex that he wants without his in-laws or his own parents sharing a wall with his bedroom (in the house that he paid for) at age 40. It sounds like hell and, due to all of the single men, I am really surprised there isn't some popular "male revolt" lifestyle choice like MGTOW or "Herbivore men" here. I guess the pressure from the parents is worse than trying to live alone peacefully. Having had my share of Chinese girls in my time here, I really feel sorry for a lot of these guys seeing how the culture fully allows adult women to act like tiny children and throw temper tantrums and make crazy demands. At the same time, I can't feel too sorry for guys who think getting treated like garbage is normal and something to put up with for the rest of your life. On the other side of this, it is so obvious that men pay for everything here that divorce laws heavily favor the fathers and give almost nothing to the women, especially not custody of the kids as his parents can take care of them and the mother's role is like "ehhhh...." in court.

Once upon a time there lived an American biker named Rick. Now, Rick loved to ride his motorcycle, but was tired of driving up and down the same roads, day after day. One morning he woke up and decided to travel the world. So he saved up some money, got on a plane, along with his trusty Harley, and set out to explore the globe. For the next few weeks, Rick spent his days riding to and through some of the most popular European cities like Paris, London, and Rome. After seeing all Europe had to offer, he moved on to explore the rest of the world. Over the next few months, he rode through the African savannas, the deserts of Egypt, and even made it to the top of Mount Everest. He was having the time of his life until he reached a small town in China. Unexpectedly, and out of nowhere, a beautiful Chinese maiden crossed his path, causing him to fly off and crash his motorcycle. Apologizing, the maiden offered Rick to pay for the repairs and a place to stay while they fixed his bike. "My name is Yu! It's an honor to meet you!" the beautiful maiden introduced herself to Rick. It turned out she was the daughter of a rich magistrate, so he spent the night in a small palace in the center of town. However, due to the scarcity of motorcycle parts, Rick had to spend several days in the palace, in the presence of Yu. Over the next few days, she took a liking to him and his strange American ways. As expected, Rick took a liking to her, too. The two quickly became inseparable, but Yu's father did not approve, for Rick was an outsider. By the time the motorcycle was finally up and running, Rick had fallen madly in love with Yu and refused to leave. Yu begged her father to let him stay, but instead, the Magistrate had Rick banished from the town. He warned him if he ever came back, he would have him beheaded. Rick was devastated, he had no motivation to continue on the rest of his journey. It seemed as though there was nothing left for him in the world, if he didn't have his beloved Chinese maiden. So he did the only thing any other sane guy would do.... Rick rolled back into town screaming, "I'm never gonna give Yu up!"

I have found that one of the best things about the Mainland's short-sighted and selfish "ME FIRST OMG" shortcut-everything culture, is that the check-out stands in the supermarket directly in front of the exit always have a line of people 10-20 deep for each register, while the registers on the far side away from the exit (10 meters away) are usually empty or only have 1-3 people in line because holy poo poo, who the gently caress would want to want to walk MORE and spend less time, when I could stand MORE and spend MORE time on my phone????? Stupid leg-havers are cheating themselves out of that sweet, sweet play phone time, almost arriving back home before I even get to pay for my stuff.

Stupid leg-havers are cheating themselves out of that sweet, sweet play phone time, almost arriving back home before I even get to pay for my stuff. They did this in Mongolia, and in Japan. I'm convinced it's more because people want to spend as much time away from home as possible. Like when I go to the park at 8PM on a Saturday and I see cars filled with men watching anime on their phone alone in the driver's seat.

"Hi, welcome, have a seat. So I just read your resume and I see that you are 19, never went to college, and did a TESOL certificate online. Don't worry. That's not important because I have the perfect job for you. Here's the book; you start Monday."

If the 19 year olds can at least get them to stop saying "I'MFINETHANKYOUANDYOU" it will be a victory for the Thai education system.

Stupid leg-havers are cheating themselves out of that sweet, sweet play phone time, almost arriving back home before I even get to pay for my stuff. Actually I made a mnemonic for this regarding public urinals: "The closer it is to the door, the wetter it is on the floor" If you're in a place that isn't fully saturated, you'll definitely see the urinal nearest the door will have a bigger puddle than the others. Subway ticket counters and subway doors on the platform too! "Hm I'm at the bottom of the stairs, I'll just stop here"
