Content: I got HALLO'd by a Chinese lady today in rural Australia. It's like she knew.Jeoh posted:im permabanned poster levonstomper58. i first started visiting chinar when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "face" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "you can have a rest" and "the courage push the bravery!" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "face" style of chinar humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" face to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Haier posted:Like all the tiles, sinks, toilets in the two bathrooms are so hastily done it is obvious. The electric sockets are loose. The wood flooring has some loose pieces. The sliding doors don't seem sturdy (her last house, the sliding glass door suddenly shattered on its own one day, nobody knows why). The front door has a gap that lets in a draft. There's other stuff, but I wasn't actively looking for it. It's obvious a bunch of workers were just trying to get it all done as fast as possible. There's 5 buildings where she lives, 6 apartments each floor, 32 floors each building. 6 X 32 X 5 = 960 apartments that needed to be done with some wacky deadline. This also explains why so many apartments in China are remodeled after purchase, besides people hating the floor plans but buying anyway. Her other house is practically unrecognizable if you compare it before she got it remodeled. And if people want it done right do they need to get people from America or Europe or somewhere else to do it right?

I was just downstairs buying a piece of cake, since who knows if I can go outside during the typhoon tomorrow. I'm holding my tray of treats and waiting to pay and some lady with two toddlers is standing in front of me and arguing with the cashier. She wants a plastic bag. The girl can't give her the plastic bag because she is not a customer and didn't buy anything. The woman wants the bag and doesn't want to pay for it. They are arguing while some other girl comes up and starts playing phone, no items to buy. The dad connected with the arguing mom is watching this stupid scene, and decides for absolutely no reason to walk into me with my tray. He literally just walked right into me and I had to take a step back so I wouldn't drop my stuff. It was pure unnecessary face bullshit, the kind that makes you instantly angry because it has no other purpose than to give the doer of the action a little smirk. Holding my tray, I used my free elbow to shove him with it to provoke him. He took a step to the side, turned around and stared at me. I raised my eyebrows at him, saying "sup?" He walked out of the bakery and then his wife snatched a plastic bag from the cashier and they were all gone in the blink of an eye. I loving hate that kind of poo poo, and it's so China. I just want to go out and get a snack, not have some idiot get into an imaginary dick waving contest with me just because I exist. The cake was good, but they ran out of matcha cheesecake and that's what I was looking for. Sad.

I can imagine there would be some swords that killed 107 people in Nanjing, although they would be Japanese Swords.

Some show on CCTV had a scene where a dude finds a list of Japanese spies. The names on the list are a bunch of Japanese porn actresses.

he probably wanted to power up the sword to bring its kill count to a more harmonious 108

She was upset to find out that her TCM gallbladder medicine is boiled chicken and animal gallbladders with some stevia in it, to get all that Qi out and transfer it to her gallbladder. I'm so over talking about TCM with Chinese people. it continues to stun me how anyone lives past 40 in china when the solution to all life's ailments are generally equivalent to chomping on a thousand dollar placebo. my go to answer to the the morons in my life who think the grass is so much greener over the pacific has been boiled down to one word: "Paracelsus."

I'm not sure if that's the reason for it but comrade is used to mean gay by anyone who isn't old, yeah. Which created a funny situation when the Xi government declared party members have to start calling each other comrades again. It'd be like the president saying everybody has to use gay to mean happy again starting now and don't you dare use it to mean homo stuff!!

So the weather is not bad at all now. The typhoon/cyclone/whatever has passed the area and the winds and rain are way less. Everyone was spreading all these rumors how the Metro is closed all day (parts in HK are, not SZ), or it is closing soon and people can't go home from work (not true), or whatever dumb bullshit they come up with and then immediately repeat as fact to each other. I wanted to go buy lunch and everyone is telling me the trains are closed. One girl told me the train was closed, and she just got home from work. I asked how she got home. By train. Did she hear the trains were closing? No, but her friend in Wechat said. I googled it and found that only a few portions of the very northern (poor people areas) are closed until the weather settles. It linked me to an article that was pretty good: http://www.thatsmags.com/shenzhen/post/20261/watch-dash-for-door-sparks-mass-metro-panic quote:All it took was one man dashing for the carriage door to spark panic on the Shenzhen metro earlier this week, according to a Tencent News report.
