so if you dont have one, they will give you one
so they will go to jail for a year or something and get an ID on the way out
also, the funeral plots in shanghai are insanely expensive, think like $10,000 just for the land to bury your grandpa
actually, it might be $100,000. i cant remember
but people are going outside the city in the rural spots and buying apartments
and then they leave their grandparents there
(the dead)
cause its cheaper
so sometimes youll see apartments and maybe like half are just full of dead bodies and the other half people live in
What?
Like festering corpses?
Or ashes
they dont like to cremate usually
but both
You'll have to provide source for that because that sounds amazing.
my wife told me it it was in chinese, let me see if i can find english source
I mean, its terrible that it happens and its probably a plauge waiting to explode but at the same time it has been a dream of mine to live in a crypt.
this isnt it, but just as crazy: https://www.upi.com/Illegal-trade-in-corpse-brides-surges-in-China/3211491397845/
i cant find it in english yet, just chinese. it might take a bit for english publication to run it
Its weord how chinese is almost impossible to google translate to english since apparently every character is a self contained word or idea. Unless I'm misunderstanding chinese again.
Huh, must just be the camera mode of google them.
yeah that thing definitely sucks
Chinese must be unsually hard to get machines to learn given variances of handwriting and fonts.
Or the AI refuses to learn chinese.
its harder than the latin ones yes, but only because its more squiggly
not harder than other squiggly scriptures
Landed taipei
Taiwanese coastline is aesthetic
You say China isn't cyberpunk, but why actually? Given how cheap tech seems to be over there, could you pinpoint a reason why they haven't smart homed up every apartment in sight?
I'm walking to immigration now <:thvnk:332928260004642827>
...
So did you post any traps while in Thai?
yes
in siam
Fuck, then I missed it
@Sdeck37 because the wages get you rice amd cigarettes and smart homes are memes
@Sdeck37 because people just like smart phones. Most tvs I see are still CRT, VGA is still 90% of connections, and people are generally too poor to smart up their home
They think smart phones are enough, generally
(this is for the general public)
And people don't like to upgrade their homes
