i can already see the 1 star rating on aliexpress... ordered test kits 3 weeks ago, finally arrived, but doesn't work, only works sometimes!! to which the seller goes you did not read the instructions or contact us first, test kits are not faulty, instruction clearly say to use 5 kits each sample. you are being very dishonest giving 1 star rating, you have ordered the wrong test kit so we are not at fault, we have selling other test kits that you should have asked us for which situation is right for you. we will issue no refund since you already rate us 1 star.

a long time ago it was relatively readable but then people started coming in from the GBS thread and it got bad. now it's bad and the GBS thread is relatively more readable this is just like how yin and yang are always in flux as any Orientalist would know

I think the thread walks the line of being Anti-CCP and the horrible poo poo it does, but avoids the racism of, "All Chinese people are ______ ".* Also the people who were ironically, or actually rooting for "Genocide Xi" and the CCP to rule the world have been either banned, or banned from this thread. *does not apply to "olds" & "buzzcuts"

There's a huuuuge difference between the way people treat faceless masses in China and the way they behave one on one. It's true in Korea too. The same person who will literally shove you out of line to get in front will go out of their way to help you if they know you at all. And yes this is true to an extent with everyone, but the contrast in China/Korea is extreme. My Chinese friends (who haven't lived abroad) are often genuinely confused by the concept of being polite to a stranger. China it's real easy to see how much is the fault of larger forces since Taiwan and Hong Kong are right there and give you a direct comparison. Imagine a world where the mainland was like Taiwan. So much better for literally everyone.

oohhboy posted:I remember a lot of talk about very specific doughnut holes of which got closed. Still plenty of doughnuts. Doughnut holes were a specific financial spot where your combined health insurance/independent drugs insurance would help pay for meds, but after a certain point, you had to pay more for them. lovely explanation ahoy: Step 1: You front your paltry cash "Start of year" cost for anything/everything, step 2 achieved Step 2: Both you and drugs insurance put money toward meds, generally this is generous in your favor, because you're paying 15 bucks for your $300 insulin Rx pickup. Both your spending and their spending goes in a bucket to achieve step 3 That bucket is filled in three months with this $300-a-month insulin, BTW, less if you have other meds Step 3: Company+you paid out X monies and there's A LIMIT YOU REACHED, now you have a steep increase to cost until step 4. Remember that $300 insulin? Remember that $15 to pick it up? It's now $60 a pickup(per month),  youStep 3 is what the olds called "doughnut hole" because it was a loving hole in part D(D for doughnut) coverage Step 4: Only after you paid some obscene number( I think medicare capped it at 5200?) out of your pocket in total will you reach this step, and it's where you paid out some 5200 in a year. At this point, you get the "extremely poor people's rates" for meds, and even then, it's more than that $15 a pickup; closer to 30 And get this: next year, January 1st, this bullshit resets and you get to do it all over again P.S. If you gently caress up this process, you're on the hook for the full price, you have to jump through hoops to get it recognized as "applies to drugs insurance", and until it's settled, it's entirely on your dime P.P.S. Some things applied to this, some things did not; hospital meds weren't drugs meds, OTC didn't count, Rx versions of OTC were the same price as OTC, but the drugs insurance was more than happy to pay for those cheap fuckers in full up front(and apply that to loving your doughnut hole later) and certain expensive meds(everything you see commercials for) were in a category where you got hole-gently caress rates from the get-go, because there was no generic to side-effect your cheap rear end Those "holes" are still open and wide as gently caress, mostly because profitable rates mean patients are going to get stuck paying more for the brand names without generic alternatives, and more than a few of those generics just don't work the same/as well: migraine medicine is basically aspirin/acetaminophen with caffeine, but the generic is someone putting that "pure energy" powdered caffeine on your generic pain reliever and "it's the same thing  "Sorry for the rant, it's an industry that really does throw stolen money at all their problems, and that money doesn't actually get to solving the problems, just burying the problems until their estate calls to close shop Blistex posted:4.

A question regarding Beijing 2022: Given how Sochi 2014 cost more than all previous Winter Olympics put together, and how most of that was spent on graft, corruption, middle managers etc, and none was spent on facilities, or on anything useful. How do we think Beijing 2022 will top it? Will they cheap out on everything, or will they spend more? Will the money go to CCP officials, or be siphoned off to various subcontractors? How late are they/will they be in building everything? What new and exciting ways will they find to gently caress up?
