Outrail posted:Does that $100 an hour rate still apply if I got my MBA/PhD of English Teaching from The University of Google Search 'PhD certificate' Right Click Copy Open Microsoft Word Paste Insert Name Export .pdf? If you're coming over as an educator it depends. Most universities and public schools will probably double check to see that they are paying for a legit MBA/PHD. Some private schools might as well. Now if you're looking for private tutoring sessions, then a decent Photoshop/Print job will probably do. Just wear a shirt and tie and looks professional and nobody will question your credentials.

Your job might lie about your credentials anyway so in a sense you’re staying on top of the game by doing it yourself.

University of Photoshop was big for a while but I have noticed places here starting to check on credentials. I think you could still get away with it but you'd probably have to apply to a lot of jobs and get lucky.

A lucky redditor apparently got some free apps installed on his phone by the friendly Xinjiang border police:quote:Hello, quote:Wrote my initial post quickly at an airport. To provide a little more information, this happened at the land border between Osh, Kyrgyzstan and Kashgar, China. The local Uyghur population is under heavy surveillance and apparently all have software installed on their phones for monitoring by police. At the land border, Uyghur phones are 100% inspected and IDs from the phones noted in a ledger during the crossing. Targeting of non-Uyghurs seemed random. On the streets, there are sometimes small groups of police with a stack of local Uyghur citizens' phones going through them one by one. They carry some sort of device similar (or the same, unsure) to what was used on our phones to check citizens' phones. Oddly, the device they used at immigration had a sticker on it that in English (along with Chinese) read "Phone Hunter ID". It was roughly (maybe a little larger) the size of a portable credit card machine that waiters, etc use in Europe. Bluetooth was turned on after this so perhaps that part of it.

I know folks who have already packed up and moved out after living there for years. It was bad, now it's full on dystopia. All communication in that area will be monitored, they're probably trying to catch people using telegram or something else encrypted.

Pirate Radar posted:Any suggestions for stuff to see in Macau? We’re thinking of going down there for the GP in November. We’d spend a day or two sightseeing (how much stuff is there to see in Macau? Does it take more than a day?) in between race stuff. Macau is neat for a day trip. There's a unesco trail you can follow all around the old town.Check it some of the stuff here https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1110/gallery/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_Centre_of_Macau Just make sure you go to the outer ferry terminal, and not the one near the airport. I walked from the terminal past all the lovely huge casinos into the old town down to a-ma temple, and looped back around up through the castle, down through some of the town squares and other buildings, finally ended at guia lighthouse before returning to the ferry. The heat was immense but I prefer walking over paying for taxis and I was way too lazy to figure out how the bus network worked. It's worth a day trip.

UPDATE: I got a nice apartment and the first thing I was told when CG was going to see the place was that she kept seeing foreigners "everywhere" in there, so that will be a new thing for me for China. I haven't lived in Asia and been in a foreigner-packed building since that one time India when I was in Little Russia. Those people do NOT use deodorant and they loving STINK. I mean the Russians. I think it's the steady diet of cabbage. Chinese vape scene coming along nicely! Kevin DuBrow posted:Is sucking teeth specifically a Chinese thing? Is it like “tsk”ing? Or is it drawing air in through your front teeth? I swear it. Every day. It was retarded.

Large gangs of Indian men trying to haggle whores while balding and fat as gently caress old white men with Australian and British accents walk around with fiancee number 14 that's eating up 70% of his retirement money. If that's still not bad, go out to the same walk around midnight-1am when all the foriegners are way too smashed to know what's going on, because that's when all the cis-women are replaced with the trans-women who know these dudes are horny, drunk, willing to part with money at an above-average rate, and do not care what their make up looks like.

Teeth suck is alive and well in HK Want a US$35 ride, but ask for it at the "wrong" time of day? (Bearing in mind a taxi licence comes with a legal obligation to take any passenger anywhere, differentiating drivers from the Uber they rail against) Teeth suck central. Even if you say the destination in Cantonese and show them it written in traditional characters. Literallly I have to threaten calling the police to be taken on a (comparatively big) fare at certain times of day. It's like they resent being asked to go where MTR stations aren't. But if I was going there... I'd take the MTR gently caress every HK taxi driver. They can't be replaced entirely by Uber soon enough.

WSJ posted:The Chinese government has vast resources for this purpose, said Larry Pfeiffer, a former chief of staff at the CIA and now a senior adviser at the Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm. Other countries, including Russia, often have similar intent but lack Beijing’s limitless supply of intelligence officers and money, he said.

i mean, i have little doubt that china does have effectively limitless resources for this sort of project because 1.3 billion. when you are prepared to starve and murder your own people to implement a draconian secret project like you're playing loving Civilization, 1.3 bn is a lot more people to stave and murder than a could hundred million. the difference being, starving and murdering your own people to attain nukes or build an orwellian surveillance state has ongoing costs and consequences in the real world, even if they are not immediately obvious, and people tend to presume those don't exist just because they didn't cause an immediate collapse of the perpetrating government.

I only ask about MS Word education certs because I've printed off 'doctors prescriptions' in sketchy areas of sketchy countries when I knew exactly what anti malaria drugs I needed and didn't want to deal with doctor bullshit. I can't see a lot of clients really wanting to call a random university in Australia/Canada to confirm, and it wouldn't be hard to put in a fake number/email address for you friend to answer.

It’s less teeth sucking though and more of a little inward breath or sounding like whispering “shoop” on an inhale. Not quite the sound I think of with teeth sucking which is more of a “gently caress this poo poo” kind of sound.

Intelligence work isn't really the type of activity that benefits by throwing bodies at it, especially when there's no limit to people who will straight up just hand the Chinese what they want. Don't even need to directly bribe anyone, the good old joint venture swindle seems to be more than enough.

Well since I posted in this thread, might as well, I haven't posted one of these in a while. just wechat me QUAD POST CABERHAM IS COMING TO TOWN AGAIN FOR THE NTH TIME BUT IT'S TIME FOR A GOON MEET WHEN?? Saturday is the official Night. I think I might have an out of towner or 2 coming in. Lady galaga will also be flying in to watch some video game tournament and then have a goon meet. I'm shooting for 730pm? WHO? Caberham Lady Galaga Magna Kaiser lurker finance goon super duper lurker Hangzhou Goon RIP some cool guy, stuck in a tutoring centre, and sleeping in some hotel lobby WHERE?? Just to start the night, Im thinking of a quick taco at Taco Laoban, eat something quick then we get the gently caress out and go roam. Restaurant suggestions: More tacos North Korean Home Style Shanghai Xinjiang Sichuan Burgers NO HOT POT NO CANTONESE FUN OPTION: CAGES BATTING BAR - it's huge rear end american portions and there's a batting cage and giant sports bar. I always wanted to do a group event there. Plus we can drink tonnes of beers and I can probably stumble home As long as we aren't eating Cantonese food I'm fine. Honestly, I with you guys and I'm just glad we all get to meet and I know it's easy to get tired of local food. I suppose it depends on the number of out of towners and all.
