Weird; they used to run ads for diet pills in 90s women's magazines with this exact same layout. They always started with a weird story about a sad fat lady (I have never forgottwn the one that said "I sweated when I ate." Is that really a thing? Being so fat that eating makes you sweat?)


I'm not fat and I sweat when I eat - because I eat like an animal.

Sweating when you eat is just indication that you've used enough spices.

Old news to most posters here, but a good piece on how Chinese students studying abroad are monitored for anti-Chinese speech by fellow students.

"Tiny Trains"

The other night I went out for Chinese food and I noticed the staff was installing something, 3 women all arguing and getting really stressed and yelling at each other. They were trying to put up a TV. They eventually gave up and put it back in the box. The TV brand?


Never heard of this brand before but it seemed to be able to cause a lot of drama for these chinese ladies.

1.7 stars/5. Some fantastic reviews in there, too, especially since all of the good ones seem to be written in suspiciously broken English...

The defunct home appliance brand of a big player in the commercial refrigeration buisiness. My guess, someone bought the brand to sell TVs. I've seen them at Walmart here, along with Crosley-branded small kitchen appliances. Unreal.

A mainlanders on my flight just blank face stared while pushing physically through a flight attendant attempting to stop him going to the bathroom as we actually landed

It was actually pretty impressive, I don't think I could have pretended nothing was happening while being yelled at and pushed
