If she isn't getting a forced marriage a bride in that kind of mood would get a wedding scrubbed.

Once/if they get the national facial recognition system working it'll be pretty much real time tracking, might replace the police registration. That sounds terrifying. How would I get away with buying weed in front of a security guard and camera then? AI don't chabuduo.

But that can also be just a good ole arranged marriage or even "I don't like this guy much I need a marriage for financial reasons". Or a lot of other things that aren't "my people are being genocided, the men are in camps and the women are being taken as prizes". Mind you I'm not saying that's not happening. I have no education or knowledge on this subject, so I really have no idea if it's a thing that's happening or not. I was just curious if the video provided was intended to be proof of a legit forced marriage taking place or not.

So I landed in the worst major airport in china around midnight. Normally I would call a cab but this time I saw a sigh written 64 rmb per person for a shared express 6 man shuttle. So instead of dropping me off along the way I take a large detour around shanghai and the dumb rear end girl who is supposed to get off is lost and now the driver is crawling around the neighborhood to find her destination. gently caress me I’m not even from here. I got the worst luck ever the expressways which I normally take is closed But I told her to better call the hotel or some hotline instead of wandering around like some ducking cop car. There are 2 other passengers that still need to go home and the driver needs to return the shuttle. What is supposed to be a 40 min ride tops turned into almost 2 hours I could have taken a 22 rmb bus for one hour and switch a taxi. Anyways pudong is bad and I’m going to stop by Delhi this summer and arrive 11pm maybe the transportation will be just as bad over there caberham fucked around with this message at 19:00 on May 30, 2018 |

the healthy life expectancy numbers are unfortunately mostly a load of subjective bullshit anyway, since the definition of 'healthy' changes a lot year on year and a lot of places aren't set up to return accurate numbers for certain definitions of 'healthy' so they just return whatever the gently caress they have on hand instead like i guaran goddamn tee you that spain, whose medical association doesn't uniformly acknowledge the same set of activities of daily living (ADLs) as most of europe and america, is not reporting accurately how many of its 63 versus 64 year olds can perform all their ADLs correctly

“At least as safe as Russian tech” in the case of the Soyuz system is “very, very safe” as far as space travel goes. It’s a good machine.

Bajaj posted:Self own. It's a lot worse. You'll also get charged like 500-1000% more because you're not local, and they will act like babies if you don't tip (please never tip, it's like giving sugar to babies). Delhi and the surrounding cities (Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad) are like the gaping anuses of the country. The highest level of air pollution is in Faridabad. Noida is rife is crime. The Delhi Greater Metro area should really consider letting Pakistan glass it for them and then they can try something else. yeah gently caress Delhi, it left me with a really bad first impression of India. Also in my case instead of asking for a tip it was more like "please sir, i borrowed this cab from my cousin and cannot cover the petrol"

10 months out of China and my health is still improving. I realized the other day that I severely underestimated the impact Chinese life had on my body. Heavy metals and air pollution is a hell of a combo. Not eating rancid veggie oil with every meal probably helps too. Speaking of which, the sugar/industrial oil combo is leading to a massive diabetes epidemic that would destroy the economy of any country. 10% of adults are diabetic, and 50% are pre-diabetic, which accounts for 1/3 of all diabetics on the planet. This problem is made worse by the perception that western food is unhealthy while Chinese food is healthy. Yeah, it's probably good to avoid McDonald's, but the food served in your average Chinese restaurant is even worse.

Again, yikes. I would assume the American diabetes problem is partially due to the corn farming subsidies where HFCS is prevalent in everything. What’s the problem with China?
