I've actually seen Russian government officials point to North Korea as an example that should be emulated on this issue.

I used to live in China too, the censored internet is something you know going in.

Life in China has many hardships as you can see from Haier's posts. Expats having trouble accessing SA is a small price to pay for keeping the rest of the stuff contained.

They really should make a Chinese Final Destination, but actually by Hollywood so Chinese would pay attention. It could be a 2-hour long public service announcement, and one or two people might learn a thing and stop some bad habits.

I have one of those near me for Tantan. About 90%+ of the women on there are all fake accounts now, and the fakes near me are all from 500-meters away from my house. Momo is advertising like crazy here right now, but I am guessing it will be over-run by fakes more than it already is because of that.


P.S. That acacia confusa root powder Chaoshan girl ordered arrived and I tested a very small amount to see if it was real or not. I drank a very small last amount night after a 15-20 minute boil. It was definitely real, and I spent 2 hours watching Psytrance kaleidoscope videos on Youtube. I don't like Psytrance at all, so it must have worked, because I really liked the music. The only problem was I kept associating images with bugs and was grossed out a few times seeing some things. Everything else was pretty neat.
It didn't really do much mentally until I fell asleep, and then I woke up about 50 times contemplating life. Today I honestly feel like nothing is important and I think someone kicking me in the balls isn't enough to get me upset. This is perfect for China.

1. Create thousands of fake accounts on Tantan
2. Get people to message you
3. . . . .
4. Profit!

What is the missing step?

The missing step is that they are either prostitutes services, or using photos of pretty girls and demanding red envelopes to talk in exchange for naked photos or something else. I saw one recently that said in the profile she wanted 500 RMB to add her Wechat. It's all a scam by pimps or hookers.

EDIT: Also advertisements, which are even more obnoxious.

I like that games exist as a universal ugliness modifier. Like, if there were no such things as video games, how normal would these dudes look?

*Arrives in moderate condition, just a few broken bones and a concussion*
*Doctor and nurse malpractice converts this into critical condition*
*Guy dies*
*Family blames dump truck driver for killing their man*

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
so there's a conference on belt and road coming up in a few days and so naturally the propaganda machine is in full swing about how it's a big and huge deal and there are propaganda ads depicting glorious china delivering fatherly guidance to the rest of the world and other hilarious crap, and naturally western media is commenting on it

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/chinas-push-to-reshape-global-trade-comes-with-high-costs/article34980171/

I don't really care that much about the article because nobody is going to remember this poo poo in two weeks but there was a line that caught my attention

quote:

It all serves to undergird China’s desire for pre-eminence: “With another five or 10 years of effort, China’s GDP will hopefully reach around the same size as that of the U.S. by 2030,” Ms. Chen said.

This is coming from someone from a chinese government body and i can't stop thinking about what things were like in 2011 where this line would have read "surpass the US and then keep going by 2018"

Well in Deus Ex the PRC is the only country not controlled by the Illuminati and later MJ-12, so they're this weird outlier.
