This magnificent hand painted kramer portrait cost me $30, managed to get $10 back because of the shoddy likeness.

it definitely has a distinctive look to it

I dont think thats kramer

Think some greasy wop is missing a grave portrait

@Mr. G so close though

thats definitely a kramer outfit

but he looks more like ben stiller

@kaetaa are you alive?

Yeah in LA

Thanks for looking out

Cat survived too

chinks are so ridiculous man

@porco the amex black card is meant to do things other than just ordinary purchases
otoh <https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1gutp0/i_was_a_concierge_for_american_express_platinum/>

apparently... someone shat their pants? who knew big spenders needed big diapers

I really want a centurion card but the annual fee is $7500?

u r not even out of high school yet lmfao

just get a fake one if u want to impress ur gay friends

im sure dapple can fix you one

First off
Fake credit cards are borderline useless and gay
Second
I need to spend half a million to get a business card <:blobthinkingeyes:427568214579609601>

ive been on a capital one card for the past year

just to build up credit

it's working

the only reason why i like the idea is because of rewards like airline miles

Imma do that, im thinking of getting a card with incasso, 0% int

you wont get 0% right off the bat

you'll start off with something 30% interest

pay it off on time and you wont get charged

you should pay it off on time anyway if you dont want to fuck your credit score

Nah they charge 0% here if you let them cash within 14/21 days on some cards

can you rewrite that in english please

Mostly going to use it for insured online purchases

it's 0% if you pay off on time on all cards if you pay back on time

within 30 days

but it's technically still a 30% interest card

In english:
If you have set up incasso (auto withdraw from bank) you pay 0% on the purchase

so it's basically just like paying it back on time

the 30% is if you dont

If you forget to put money in the bank its a staggering 27% on starters

Yes

that's what i mean

I am not going to do that

it's not a 0% interest card then

it's 27% APR

Pay the moment after you bought something

(((Credit shifu here)))

youll get the nicer cards after a year or two on a shitter ~20% APR card

Zucht, I want a amex but its useless here with mostly maestro and other methods in asia

i hope the british airways ones will be good

something tells me they're not

they've been charging ripoff premium prices for subpar flight service

I have to wait until 21 to get some proper insurance for cards too

Wait aren't you better of booking budget airline flights then paying premium for transaction fees @transience?

Or whatever fees the card has

scratch what i said

1 avios points per 1 pound spending, need 100,000 avios to go to thailand
no thanks

anyway <#189467888657235970>

Oh yeah
Ching chong

@porco Post more chink food

Chink food is pretty good, think this is dry pot or something. Just pick out meat amd veg amd they fry it in chili oil of varying spice. Great for long trips, cant fall asleep at the wheel if our stomach is on fire

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jun/12/einsteins-travel-diaries-reveal-shocking-xenophobia

even einstein shat on chinks

based einstein

truly /ourguy/

anyone who has read anything about einstein knows he was cautious for everyone

damn good guy einstein

thats pretty funny

"see him writing of the Chinese that “even those reduced to working like horses never give the impression of conscious suffering. A peculiar herd-like nation [ … ] often more like automatons than people.” He later adds, in Rosenkranz’s words, “a healthy dose of extreme misogyny” to his xenophobia with the observation: “I noticed how little difference there is between men and women; I don’t understand what kind of fatal attraction Chinese women possess which enthrals the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring”.

god damn

nothing has changed

how is LA treating you?

there so much traffic im sick of it already haha

but everything else is kind of what i expected

we see so much of LA in tv and movies its hard to be "surprised" by anything

but its still been enjoyable

we head back to my home on saturday, so just a few more days of vacation, but its been nice

its nice to see a blue sky again

in china even if there isnt thatm uch pollution, the giant buildings block the sky

I dont understand chinese - they ilegally access the outside world internet by using VPN - access youtube - and then immediately just look up their own country?

they go to videos about china to defend china and bash other countries

is this how they use their VPN?

theyve been so brainwashed to believe that any negativity should be met with hostility

same with russians

and turks

actually can probably be applied to any country/group of countries

but russians and turks are the cases I see most often

Maybe it's their way of protecting themselves?

Get catched for using a vpn, show that you only did to defend glorious Khina?

One of the comments said "I'm not a nationalist...I just don't understand how a Chinese person could bash their own country"

cause its shit

🤔

TFW Chinese tourist in thailand

they got those dumb tour things that they take them to

which is like a massive jewellery store or a bedsheet factory

I like industrial tours

nah fuck that

and afterwards they have sales people following you

fuck that

@plasticsword they take them in those because they're barred everywhere else lol

Can't take them to heritage sites because they'll take everything in sight as a souvenir

They ignore every don't touch sign

that's a bit much

I mean they are bad but they're not banned from heritage sites

apparently people actually make a lot of money from chinks despite their frugality

@plasticsword I didn't mean they're banned from heritage site just what happens there

I saw two busses full of them turned down at our resort hotel

They genuinely cost hotels stars

Once it's known they let in Chinese tourists the other tourists stay away

heh

im not even fucking suprised

chinese tourists are weird and annoying

"yo i came to your buffet restaurant but i want noodles and free unlimited hot water so i can make my own instant noodles/soups"

#bannedforlife

you are in motherfucking finnish traditional restaurant what servers homefood buffet for tourists what want to experience it

and you fucking want noodles with that shit ???

also its fucking nighrmate to actualy plan any tourist tours with them specialy if it required fucking preparation on their part

for average tourist you can tell "the tour starts X place Y time so be _ready_ with gear"

chinese tourist "i came without jacket (-30 outside) we are supposed to go for skiing tour in local park, i dont have my skis yet rented,nor helmet,nor warm clothes, oh where is the free snacks, also i came fucking 10 minutes late and everyone has been waitting for my stupid faggot ass"

lets not forget that its planners fault whole thing for not infor---READING FUCKING OUT LOUD multipage leaflets what were shared to everyone

JUST HOW FUCKING THICK IS YOUR STUPID SKULL???!!??"

ohh... and when you see wild moose or god forbid bear in national park... dont you fucking start screaming like riot was going on and taking pictures... with fucking flash on

there is fucking companies that wont deal with any chinese or asian group of tourists due how fucking awfull they are

they just inform hotel "we know we are one of better tourist traps but keep your fucking chinks away from our establishment

then they wonder why they are not allowed to drive cars around here (nor rent them without valid id..)

and older gentlemen who come to hunt... need to be trained for fucking guns first due they shoot their own toes off otherwise (has happened)

they are more than welcome here by most loca----business men and hotels who dont live in 200km diameter around lapland

and to be honest they dont even bring that much money compared how much work they are

and dont get me even startted how filthy animals they are in their rooms

and yes incenses can trigger automated fire-alarms

and no it does not help to keep door to hallway open .. actualy its even worse due now everyone needs to fucking smell that shit and try not to puke

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS csg.tervys_sanity

oh boy id have tons of stories about tourists on lapland but i drop them occassionaly here

but hungry me decided to rant slightly about those animals

Tldr

Xinks were a mistake?

Is this the start of new Tervy rants?

because i love it

he’s channeling his inner kaetaa

@Tervy the trick is to make a chinatown in the middle of the finnish wilderness

Then they will just go there an never leave until thier trip is over

I'm curious. As a Japanese who travels occasionally (I went to New Zealand last February), how do Europeans view us?

Are we just "Chinese tourists" like all the rest?

[I try to be polite, attentive to cultural practice, and prepared but that's just me. idk even what regular Japanese are like.]

for me you all look the same <:downs:355737951918882846>
but its down to how you act

For me, it's really easy to spot the difference between Chinese and fjapanese when travelling

If they are being loud, obnoxious, and doing semi poor looking behavior it's generally Chinese

If you can't even notice they are there, and get actually excited at things, it's Japanese

If they are being loud, obnoxious, and doing semi poor looking behavior it's generally Chinese

When I was a kid, I used to live in a small town that was really popular to Japanese tourists for a reason that I've never understood. Japanese tourists were cool, just taking an incredible amount of pictures and spending a lot of money in restaurants / hotels / souvenir shops etc

Now after a few decades, the Japanese are gone and the Chinese came. The Chinese destroy everything. They let children shit in our lake, shout at each other all night etc

I'd take Japanese tourists over Chinese tourists any day

I think Japanese are the best kind of tourists

The bottom is made by the Chinese, the British and the American tourists

agree entirely

tfw worst of both

chinese and britbong

My last experience with jap tourist was 2 old ladies in Amsterdam, we guided them to Van Gogh musem or something like that

They were funny

If they are being loud, obnoxious, and doing semi poor looking behavior it's generally Chinese " indeed whatvkseetaa saids

Japs are easybto spot due mannerism

After looking at Japs for a while you can spot then by their clothing choices too

I'm not so good at it yet but my gf often knows Japs by their clothes and the way they walk

Trying to write in hurry ∆ abomination

http://www.japochi.com/

The japs I met were good buds to drink with
The japs I see usually behave so it's ok.
Chinks are infamous and fairly easy to spot beside the language so they usually don't get approached by Germans unless heavy yellow fever.

Japs are very socially aware

It's part of how they grew as a society

They've always had hierarchies to respond to and it still shows nowadays

it doesnt really help that chinks had their social norms and individuality essentially wiped out by the ccp

Yes, Japs have always been taught to obey, chinks on the other hand have had the NSDAP treatment

Or, well, NSDAP + CPSU treatment, I guess

NAZBOL GANG

@Alfadir let's not post animal cruelty in here, thanks

Sure

where in Thailand?

I've decided I wanna get a Chinese friend to learn more about what's going in inside the country socially, politically, and economically. Is interpals.com a good place to look?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCKnjq5ZVY8

I'm chinese and was in china for a year

and it's terrible

absolutely terrible

but honestly it's 50/50 that believe the bullshit

the people that believe in the bullshit, think they live in the best country ever and it's the safest and most well run country ever

the people that don't think the goverment is good, think they can't really do much so they don't think about it

@(import (srfi 151)) go to china and make a friend

@(import (srfi 151)) just scroll to the top of this channel and read everything

especially kaetaa rants

talking about @kaetaa, are you still in LA?

his walltext has nothing to do with economic or political developments

there is nothing needed to be learnt on china that isnt already available tbh

people in china know less

most people in china aren't really political

true

just read the news or something, there are enough foreign correspondents and accounts to get a decent rundown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRozvz3cn_o

yup

@plasticsword what percentage would believe the shit that 50 cent armies shitpost all over youtube?

🤔

2

i mean, when you have over a billion ppl, 2% is still 20 mil

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

wait, he's back in china? i thought he left

i think prozzie is in taiwan now

oh it happened in tw

We talking about the video?

i was confused because i saw the 粵 number plate

Happened in Taiwan, he got apprehensive as if he was in China

Gist of the video

粵 is guangdong province, so i thought it was china when he threw that clip in

Rip

@Julian nah we are officially home

Thanks for asking

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

oh getting rid of your virginity after some nice views, i see

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

>ywn fuck ladyboys in Thailand like @transience

Why live

to make money to go to thailand

Pls don't give menadvice

been in Thailand for 20days now

great country and great people

@transience Maybe the heavier media censorship of the Chinese government is part of it?

The ideology is different, but it seems like China basically has Mao 2: Electric Boogaloo, with the removal of term limits and all.

I mean sure

Removed of all context things look like other things

xi ping isn't overtly corrupt as far as I know

https://youtu.be/OubM8bD9kck

He's good at hiding his corruption

The Panama papers revealed he and his family members are hiding a lot of money overseas
