@(import (srfi 151)) those organs have to be harvested from somewhere
@Tribit Funny thing, Australia was just about to pass a bill banning organs from China at some point. The person that authored it thought it'd be a slam dunk. There was a petition supporting a ban with 1.5 million signatures. But after a letter from the Chinese consulate that was sent to every MP, not a single MP from the three major parties voted in favor of the ban. Not one!
fml never heard of that
not even the greens?
@Cactus the greens authored it. Or as least A green did.

And the green was bought off anyway
If there is problem with organs dear friend we refund

Tips for not being an idiot when trying to befriend Chinese people in the US?
make sure to ask them about their opinion about tibet, tianmen and their colonial history
i've done that
proceed by asking to watch winnie the pooh
i don't think they care
tbh
@JHWH I think you misread, I said not being an idiot.
dont ask them why theyre laughing because they wont be able to explain it
my bad, then just dont call them jackie chan and generally dont be an idiot.
I want to ask that other stuff eventually, but I know you need to break the ice first.
And that if they still have close family in China I'd probably abort.
in my experience they are either chomping at the bit to tell westerners how they feel, or they won't reveal their opinions until they are on their deathbed
there is no in between
the only chinese friend i have is from hk lol
@bentech did he have opinions about the umbrella movement?
nah he doesnt have many ties with hk
Here's a get-rich-quick scheme that might work.
1. Move to a US state where employees are protected from discrimination based on their political affiliations and activities.
2. Apply to a job you're qualified for to a Chinese employer wearing clothes supporting Taiwan, Tibet, etc. They probably don't know about political discrimination laws.
3. After they don't hire you, sue for discrimination.
@(import (srfi 151)) as a chink myself, i personally love it when westerners take their time to learn my language
"hello kneee howwww ching ching chaang"
it's so cute
i highly recommend you do this
Mandarin is hard though. Can I just half ass it and memorize some phases?
I couldn't even learn Spanish fml
for real, id just speak english if they can too tbh
i think xiexie (thank you) is all you need to know if they can speak english
I'll try to excel in good phonology instead.
@(import (srfi 151)) ask if they're japanese
this tbh
