oh well

2018-03-21 12:09:07 UTC

What are you interested in by the way? As in what field within tech?

2018-03-21 12:30:20 UTC

That's <#189467888657235970>, let's keep this channel about China

2018-03-22 21:13:56 UTC

@kaetaa did you teach English at some point in China? Since I got fired today, I'm considering to just move to Taiwan and start teaching Italian there until I find an actual job

2018-03-22 21:14:32 UTC

But I'm not sure what that would mean. So did you teach at some point?

2018-03-22 21:19:02 UTC

What happened to your promotion?

2018-03-22 21:19:46 UTC

check <#189467888657235970>

2018-03-22 22:05:56 UTC

Yeah I tough English most of the time I was there

2018-03-22 22:06:52 UTC

@porco it's totally different in China and Taiwan for teaching languages tho

2018-03-22 23:10:26 UTC

what did you get fired for?

2018-03-22 23:11:00 UTC

not being white enough

2018-03-22 23:49:43 UTC

He got fired TERRY

2018-03-23 06:20:03 UTC

i quit because its a fucking joke

2018-03-23 06:20:18 UTC

they dont actually want u to teach, and the kids dont actually want to learn so

2018-03-23 06:20:55 UTC

i hated the kids because chinese parents dont discipline their kids

2018-03-23 06:21:28 UTC

(not all the kids. the teenagers were generally much better and spoke pretty good english)

2018-03-23 06:21:53 UTC

I worked with kids whose parents were rich as hell, taking them all over the world every vacation

2018-03-23 06:22:01 UTC

and yet the kids knew nothing of the world

2018-03-23 06:22:06 UTC

it was bizarre

2018-03-23 06:22:46 UTC

Then I had some students who studied abroad for like a year (even primary school students, like people being sent to USA to study in a public school for a year at age 6)

2018-03-23 06:23:07 UTC

which i thought was really stupid, because they came back speaking fluent english, and then their parents would sign them up for more english classes

2018-03-23 06:23:35 UTC

and the kids always complained about how much china sucked and where they went (USA, australia etc) was much better

2018-03-23 06:23:45 UTC

it always made me laugh

2018-03-23 06:24:26 UTC

I couldn't imagine being 6 years old and my parents sending me to another country for a year to go to school.

2018-03-23 06:24:31 UTC

Seems really tough

2018-03-23 06:54:01 UTC

its sad but I feel stupidity is a common thing for the wealthy

2018-03-23 06:54:19 UTC

especially new money

2018-03-23 06:54:34 UTC

which every rich person in China is

2018-03-23 15:47:24 UTC

@porco doooo it, youโ€™ll see things that that cuntry doesnt have and u cud make a quick buck creating something their

2018-03-23 19:29:09 UTC

I spoke to my first (mainland Chinese) chink today.

2018-03-23 19:29:33 UTC

Apperantly they can't swim, but own bikinis.

2018-03-23 19:29:58 UTC

She was kinda chill tho.

2018-03-24 16:38:58 UTC

@porco is it common for chinks to not know how to swim? If so, any particular reason(s) why?

2018-03-24 18:32:43 UTC

most of them really far away from sea

2018-03-24 18:32:48 UTC

and no money for sea?

parents make their children attend swimming classes lol

90% of people I know here know how to swim

possibly because I'm dealing with people from pretty nice backgrounds but yeah

2018-03-25 04:57:16 UTC

for the pic that @porco posted, who are the guys in the white hats. i probbaly should know but i dont

2018-03-25 04:57:37 UTC

i personally prefer mainland china but thats cuz im hardcore and biased

@Big Meme white hats? they are hackers. the friendly kind

2018-03-25 15:09:12 UTC

no i mean the chiggas that look like the kkk but in bondage

2018-03-25 21:03:08 UTC

@Big Meme my girlfriend and me have been researching for a good hour. All we could find was something about Tibet and a highway shooting. But both most probably unrelated. I assume the /int/ poster who made that picture probably mixed something up with another country since the burning monk was in Vietnam, too

2018-03-25 21:05:35 UTC

what was the burning monk? i thought that was a pic of buddha and he was enlightnened or some shit i didnt realise it was a legit monk on fire. story behind that?

2018-03-25 21:05:42 UTC
2018-03-25 21:07:49 UTC

2018-03-25 21:31:53 UTC

whoever writes these is super funny and accurate cuz they actually speak like this and it gets my dised going everytime. since ive had like 5 differnt chinese teachers in the past 6 years its funny how they all have like the same english issues

2018-03-25 21:32:27 UTC

especially when they ask me about their hometown

2018-03-25 21:33:04 UTC

this one woman lived in like a small village in mongolia and was like oh you know my village? and im like fuck no dude i dont even know the next town over from me let alone your small tent camp

2018-03-25 23:14:54 UTC

Seems more like a cultural question tho.
Same happened with some Koreans, so I asked them if they knew my home town. Obviously not, but it's something to exchange about.

2018-03-26 04:58:48 UTC

cause hometown is kinda part of their identity

2018-03-26 04:59:06 UTC

in most case kinda everyone's identity

2018-03-26 04:59:54 UTC

most chinks like their hometown but most likely its pretty deprived

2018-03-26 05:35:51 UTC

And then they ask for mine, I tell them, and they make mafia jokes

2018-03-26 05:36:34 UTC

But Chinese small towns are often curious places. Actually enjoy hearing about them

2018-03-26 06:28:58 UTC

I mean I do too. And I understand that. Even my home town is part of my identity. And I love hearing about other peoples hometowns but they always ask if I've heard of it. Why would I. It has a population of like 12 people. I don't just study tiny villages lmao

2018-03-26 06:31:21 UTC

But usually Chinese villages all have one certain special thing. Either they have historically producing something, or a certain dish, or some historical person being born there etc

2018-03-26 06:31:45 UTC

Mine is a boring shithole that was involved in some mafia movies

2018-03-26 11:44:17 UTC

implying porcorosso isnt a mafioso

2018-03-26 11:44:29 UTC

being in 4chan is already suspicious

2018-03-26 12:46:54 UTC

4chan suspicious... Hahahavhahajaja !no! .. also so much shit here lately (i have hidden this one)

2018-03-26 14:16:22 UTC

Chinese mafia is not like American mafia lmao. But mafia movies is even worse

Perks of having chink gf

2018-03-26 17:22:15 UTC

I need some black porcelain

2018-03-26 17:22:32 UTC

I require a strong nordic wife

2018-03-26 17:22:54 UTC

That looks chic

2018-03-26 17:23:31 UTC

All my plates are black, I bought that set once

2018-03-26 17:23:47 UTC

Guests always compliment me on that

2018-03-26 17:24:02 UTC

But only the food is Chinese, so the rest is <#189467888657235970>

2018-03-26 17:27:54 UTC

Food looks good too, though it looks like you got chinked on shrooms.

2018-03-26 17:30:49 UTC

Why?

2018-03-26 17:31:17 UTC

They were dried Chinese low quality shiitake and she soaked them in boiling water because she didn't want to wait

2018-03-26 17:31:47 UTC

Chinese dry shiitake have a pretty weak taste for some reason anyway compared to the fresh ones

2018-03-26 17:33:30 UTC

Because I see like 3

2018-03-26 17:34:01 UTC

But yeah no clue on dried ones tbh

2018-03-26 17:34:55 UTC

Do you always buy them fresh?

2018-03-26 17:42:35 UTC

Yeah

2018-03-26 18:01:44 UTC

are shitakeโ€™s everywhere?

2018-03-26 18:05:07 UTC

They can be cultivated everywhere

2018-03-26 18:05:20 UTC

Else just asia

2018-03-26 18:05:26 UTC

Yes fresh ones are roughly 40 CHF (45$) / kg in Switzerland

2018-03-26 18:05:53 UTC

So I don't buy them often

2018-03-26 18:05:56 UTC

Wat?!

2018-03-26 18:06:11 UTC

You found a new job mate

2018-03-26 18:06:32 UTC

Buy some chink shit accessories and open a micro farm

2018-03-26 18:15:33 UTC

>mushroom farmer youtuber also has chinkwife
Maybe this is porco's Canadian counterpart

2018-03-26 18:16:23 UTC

Link?

2018-03-26 19:02:42 UTC

Can confirm most mainlanders don't know how to swim

2018-03-26 19:02:54 UTC

Dying by falling into a river is a real concern for most people

2018-03-26 20:06:21 UTC

ive been messing with the idea of going on a mountain after a rain and grabbin all the mushrooms to farm

2018-03-26 20:07:07 UTC

lions mane etc

2018-03-26 20:07:38 UTC

hen of the woods

2018-03-27 20:15:16 UTC

@Tervy good stuff

2018-03-27 20:16:55 UTC

to make it clear
any meme-spam or copypaste stuff etc is only for offtopic (or better yet for other servers)
this is purely for hate/love relationship towards asian countries

2018-03-27 20:20:56 UTC

Thanks

2018-03-27 21:03:05 UTC

Taiwan is dying

2018-03-27 21:53:19 UTC

@porco is it like with Japan? Like there's no time for it because of jobs and just no interest?

2018-03-27 21:54:20 UTC

Honestly I can't understand it. My girlfriend is from one of the most declining regions and there are a ton of children everywhere and all her same age friends have kids

2018-03-27 21:55:00 UTC

But obv. I just know a tiny part of the population, Taiwanese always appeared very family oriented to me

2018-03-27 21:55:09 UTC

Maybe it was just extreme in past

2018-03-27 21:55:31 UTC

I mean there are >20 mio people on that tiny island

2018-03-27 21:55:45 UTC

But that's all pure speculation

2018-03-27 21:59:14 UTC

@porco the birth rate is even lower than Japan's

2018-03-27 21:59:38 UTC

EU countries "compensate" that with immigration

2018-03-27 22:03:51 UTC

Populations stabilizing is only a problem if your social security looks like a ponzi scheme

2018-03-27 22:12:20 UTC

We have really low birth rate here :(

2018-03-27 22:13:56 UTC

Mostly because young people are fuckin braindead and are too stupid to find a job so they go to work in a fish factory in the UK or Norway and stay there and start families there

2018-03-27 22:22:18 UTC

People are sheeps in general

2018-03-27 22:22:27 UTC

what have you expected

2018-03-27 22:22:53 UTC

I am planning to leave Croatia because of better conditions of living and better pay

2018-03-27 22:23:31 UTC

I assume some of those people in china do the same

2018-03-27 23:14:45 UTC

@johnfrum it's really no problem with social security either in western nations. Maybe more in Asian nations. But many pensions can be cut in half and the pensioner will still live comfortably since his house is paid off and cost of living is low.

2018-03-27 23:15:27 UTC

I don't know how house ownership works in Japan or Taiwan. But otherwise it wouldn't be a real problem. Just an aging demographic that needs to face reality

2018-03-27 23:25:00 UTC

There were some scandals about government employees getting extremely high pensions very early but I can't find it anymore

2018-03-27 23:25:07 UTC

In Taiwan

2018-03-27 23:53:47 UTC

if you live in big cities in you're fucked

2018-03-27 23:57:28 UTC

there's a fair bit of old people that live in poverty cause they got shit pension

2018-03-28 07:59:36 UTC

Taiwan's retirement age is lower than most developed countire's retirement age

2018-03-28 07:59:44 UTC

Workers retire at 61

2018-03-28 07:59:57 UTC

But there are currently proposals to raise it to 65

2018-03-28 08:00:53 UTC

Retirement age delay happens also in countries where the population is "increased" by immigration. It's likely that most people around the world that are 20-30 now will have a hard time retiring at today's age standards

2018-03-28 08:01:15 UTC

On a side note, Taiwan's retirement system is a very good one, compared to the rest of Asia

2018-03-28 08:20:31 UTC

you do those lottery things that Taiwan has?

2018-03-28 08:20:59 UTC

like spend a certain amount and you get a lottery ticket

2018-03-28 08:42:07 UTC

what do you mean? Doesn't lottery exist everywhere?

2018-03-28 08:46:41 UTC

nah but instead of tax refund/rebate it goes into the government lottery

2018-03-28 08:48:44 UTC

Ah I see

2018-03-28 08:49:16 UTC

on every purchase, everywhere, you get a lottery code on your receipt and every few months they draw winning codes

2018-03-28 08:49:54 UTC

that's done to fight tax evasion. People want those codes so shops have to declare the transaction

2018-03-28 08:54:39 UTC

That's actually

2018-03-28 08:54:42 UTC

Really smart

2018-03-28 08:54:43 UTC

Wow uh

2018-03-28 08:56:42 UTC

How high are the prizes you can win?

2018-03-28 09:15:12 UTC

highest I won was 3 $

2018-03-28 12:21:41 UTC

oh is that what it is

2018-03-28 12:21:42 UTC

neat

2018-03-28 12:22:01 UTC

what it was some weirdo tax thing

2018-03-28 12:22:16 UTC

also heard you need a taiwanese id card for it though

2018-03-28 12:22:50 UTC

Doesn't seem all that effective if they have low payouts

2018-03-28 12:23:35 UTC

With a good accounting culture you wouldn't need this either

2018-03-28 12:36:12 UTC

It's not about accounting, it's about corruption tho

2018-03-28 12:39:38 UTC

Corruption with VAT right?

2018-03-28 13:59:10 UTC

yes selling stuff without declaring the transaction. Taiwan's VAT is already really really low

2018-03-28 13:59:26 UTC

Also it's have or not have on the money. People autistically collect those receips

2018-03-28 14:00:13 UTC

Also you can donate your receips to monks or NGOs and they will cash them in if you have a winning number

2018-03-28 14:00:19 UTC

on the night markets you usually have monks with baskets

2018-03-29 03:43:56 UTC

Retirement in China for many women is 50

2018-03-29 03:44:01 UTC

Then the rest 55

2018-03-29 03:45:51 UTC

you sure

2018-03-29 03:46:25 UTC

I think they raised it to 60 and 65

anyone studied in hong kong or china before

2018-03-30 15:53:05 UTC

was it great or nah

2018-03-30 15:56:20 UTC

People who were or are in China from this chat, most usually ended up hating it

2018-03-30 15:56:45 UTC

I for one have mostly Taiwan experience and I like a lot of things about Taiwan

2018-03-30 16:20:06 UTC

Yeah, I can only speak for coworkers and people I met online, but so far I've seen no positive response regarding a longer stay in China.

2018-03-30 23:56:06 UTC

Yeah, mainland kinda sucks a big ding dong

TFW handed my resignation, finally leaving chyner

2018-03-31 00:20:38 UTC

who here working Saturday cause Chinese government don't move holidays to the weekend

2018-03-31 00:20:40 UTC

Honestly wouldnt mind an extended stay as long as I was near some forests to fuck off to in my off time.

2018-03-31 00:20:59 UTC

nah fuck Chinese forest

2018-03-31 00:21:09 UTC

they got African mosquitoes

2018-03-31 00:21:23 UTC

mosquitoes have aids and malaria

2018-03-31 00:21:26 UTC

An excuse for gin and tonic

2018-03-31 00:21:54 UTC

I dont think aids is transmissable through mosquitoes tho

2018-03-31 00:22:59 UTC

African mosquitoes get the aids from Africans then come to china

2018-03-31 00:24:25 UTC

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

2018-03-31 00:25:54 UTC

All the literature states that its impossible. Speaking of asian mosquitos my friend sent a pic from his grandma's house in rural korea and his arm was literally covered in the fuckers. Apprently the bamboo and paddies are like all you can fuck buffets for them.

2018-03-31 05:43:29 UTC

fuck that. I'd be full beekeeper or spacesuit all day

2018-03-31 06:25:12 UTC

Eh they normally put mesh on the windows to stop them coming in or just leave windows shut and put on aircon

2018-03-31 06:38:38 UTC

Isn't the US the only place that moves the holidays according to weekends?

is flyscreen on windows uncommon in temperate places?

2018-03-31 06:39:39 UTC

you mention window mesh as if it is a rare thing

2018-03-31 07:04:27 UTC

It's not the most common thing, no.

2018-03-31 07:04:58 UTC

Ordinarily one only has to worry about houseflies finding their way in, and the occasional bee.

2018-03-31 07:07:41 UTC

you cunts are spoiled

2018-03-31 07:08:03 UTC

๐Ÿ‘

2018-03-31 07:30:59 UTC

Asians already evolved to live with them

2018-03-31 07:31:44 UTC

but foreigners that aren't from temperate place haven't and have better blood

2018-03-31 07:31:55 UTC

so they get swarmed by them

2018-03-31 08:14:37 UTC

my itchy fuckin feet and ankles are telling me that my blood is mighty tasty

2018-03-31 12:12:20 UTC

Get lemon scented candles

2018-03-31 12:12:28 UTC

The sucky bastards hate the smell

2018-03-31 12:13:06 UTC

Or anything lemon scented, maybe incese

2018-03-31 12:13:08 UTC

incense

2018-04-01 05:30:16 UTC

I like how the guys speaking jap don't look much different than weebs or the english teaching weebs :^)

2018-04-01 05:30:42 UTC

Other than the kenyan guy who probably works as a taut

2018-04-01 13:59:08 UTC

tfw VPN subscription ran out 1 month before me leaving china

2018-04-01 13:59:12 UTC

I JUST WANT TO LEAVE

2018-04-01 14:25:59 UTC

@plasticsword how was it

2018-04-01 14:27:01 UTC

shit, didn't learn any chinese

2018-04-01 14:27:23 UTC

but I started recognising more words this last month

2018-04-01 14:27:35 UTC

would not reccomend

2018-04-01 14:28:43 UTC

Was thinking of going studying there. What's there a demand for? @plasticsword

2018-04-01 14:29:26 UTC

dunno

2018-04-01 14:29:45 UTC

most places would like engineers

2018-04-01 14:29:52 UTC

english speakers

2018-04-01 14:30:03 UTC

both pay less than doing it elsewhere

2018-04-01 14:30:11 UTC

especially engineers here

2018-04-01 14:30:27 UTC

work is basically the same as anywhere else

2018-04-01 14:30:57 UTC

if you're mechanical engineer then you would work closer to the manfacturers

2018-04-01 15:18:53 UTC

Why would you go to a diffrent country and not learn the language?

2018-04-01 15:19:25 UTC

Chinese is a beautiful language

2018-04-01 15:19:30 UTC

Really

2018-04-01 15:19:55 UTC

But chinks are horrible people <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

2018-04-01 16:13:46 UTC

[6:19 PM] porcorosso: Chinese is a beautiful language

2018-04-01 16:14:11 UTC

i wonder when someone builds satire site listing "beautiful languages"

2018-04-01 16:14:24 UTC

and its just list of all of the world languages in A-Z order

2018-04-01 16:14:57 UTC

cant count how many languages people and media have called "beautiful"

2018-04-01 16:27:49 UTC

I can explain the beauty of Chinese. It's a very descriptive and picturesque language. Even bad insults still involve terms like flowers. Words are usually constructed out of more primitive terms. Like, Computer? Electronic brain.

2018-04-01 16:28:07 UTC

Pussy? Garden of peach blossoms

2018-04-01 16:28:14 UTC

Slut? Flower heart

2018-04-01 16:34:09 UTC

I agree with that, but its also annoying because that makes their terms so LITERAL sometimes. i mean, look at any of their movie titles

2018-04-01 16:36:12 UTC

Ready Player One came out, and that movie could easily be translated literally, but instead they go with "Greatest Video Game Player"

2018-04-01 16:36:44 UTC

China is a great place to visit - and I think if you went to Shanghai it'd even be a great place to study

2018-04-01 16:37:17 UTC

but dont try to go to "real china"

2018-04-01 16:37:25 UTC

its a shit hole

2018-04-01 16:37:45 UTC

Real China = Taiwan

2018-04-01 16:37:47 UTC

Reminder

2018-04-01 16:38:01 UTC

sorry , when most people say real china they mean outside the tier 1 cities

2018-04-01 16:38:08 UTC

and living with normal everyday chinks
