dunno about agent fees

it was $25 total with the backlight for me

>$13

at this point it's less chink shit general than compulsive spending general

i mean, then again, that's why we're here, really

the asian market seems to lap up gaudy LEDs

and weird fins/nonfunctional tacked on design elements

things like LeEco's attempt at entering the western market just illustrates the point

they spent so much time on trying to make themselves look good with their oversized HQ purchase, lavish decorating, and that weirdly over the top press conference that was filled with buzzwords

instead of actually saying anything about their product they tried to explain their "brand philosophy"

apple does some similar stuff but they have results first and then they do the bluster

not the other way around

they seemed to be operating off of what beijing thinks the west is like (everyone is arrogant, showoffy first) instead of what it actually is (you can be arrogant, showoffy if you have the results to back it up)

and forget that these ginormous companies often started out as two guys in a garage

i hear those ISKs can be pretty good

It's "mildly sweet", because people here have a lower tolarance for sugar than the west

the original flavor is too sweet for some people, so they have the "mildly sweet" version

i want to try feeding my family the type of cakes i ate in america

might need to prepare puke buckets

lmao

i used to be similar but america broke my tastebuds

tags: mindbreak

used to have sugar cane juice all the time as a kid so i dunno about that

pretty sure sugarcane is also native to asia

@porco Please treat our KRT Girls well!!

Really? I almost never hear it, even when I'm with people from other countries.

I don't think I remember ever hearing it said in chinese in person. What do they say? 台灣第一名? Just sounds weird.

Online I can understand because it's a meme.

One of the few memes about the country that people in other countries know.

nobody i know actually believes that, there might be some fanatics but we're small and the populace just wants the mainland to let other countries recognize us

almost everyone i know here knows how to speak taiwanese/minnan

it's generally considered a lot more casual

though it can just depend on whatever both parties feel like, i've heard it used in many different settings

certain politicians that want to appear more "taiwanese" will use taiwanese in speeches

as with @porco said, if you go south of taipei, taiwanese will be used more and more until it's just what people will assume you'll use by default

I blame communism

ancient chinese aphrodisiacs made from endangered species

alternatively, ginseng

preferably north american

`TW`

`Shipping Cost:Cannot ship to Taiwan`

really makes you think

i'd try dynasty warriors all-star football

I've lived in taiwan half my life and the girls here just seem normal

they do dumb girl things like girls do but nothing so ridiculous like the things you just described that happen in china

almost seems like another planet despite being just across the strait

I'm a halfie myself, i dunno

i spent my early years here and then half of my later childhood in the US

i think if i grew up here i would have just been content doing whatever

the US gave me a lot more ambition

i dunno how it is over where you're from, though

switzerland, i think?

I've had acquaintences receive US passports and the brochure they give you literally says "the world is yours"

yup

i find in-flight entertainment to satisfy most my needs these days

you might even get regional selections depending on your destination or carrier

get up, stretch your legs, stand around at the emergency exits once in a while

or if you're the type to stay put, get a window seat

No? We just want to be left alone and allowed to do our own stuff without the PRC doing everything it can to delegitimize us.

a few dumbass ultranationalists notwithstanding.

add distortion

it's used for financials

can't alter a 貳 into a 叁

like you could 二 into 三

the japanese use it as well

it's been so fucking weird the last three days

half a dozen big quakes

can't go a few hours without another one

never mentioned i was in the south, i'm in taipei

can't imagine what it's like being there and feeling quakes every half hour

i guess? 10+ stories

felt like airplane turbulence

for the 6.4

the one where the shoddy building collapsed?

yeah

not sure if i felt that one

I keep an emergency kit around

i made it a long time ago but i think there's nonperishable food, thermal blanket, clothing, hand-crank radio + flashlight, and plastic wrap inside it

I try to mention it to people if the topic comes up

it's a combo radio+flashlight that has a usb port

listen only

I imagine people are starting to want to build these kits if they haven't

i've seen all these graphics being passed around on line

about what to pack in a kit

yeah, order one of those baofeng radios

lol

if everyone had that idea then the emergency frequencies would be unusable

dunno

i'd rather just rely on my phone and have a charger

i don't have line on my PC or discord on my phone so

just search 地震包

yeah

earthquake bag

i think you're referring to this one, which i saw on LINE https://pic.pimg.tw/hcm5499/4b90516d3c337.jpg

it just says "important valuables"

like your bank book and ID

yeah, underwear
