Seems like lady Karma was quite bitch again

unless he got life insurance

That would be a complicated chicken egg

My fiancee dad lives in a pretty quiet area of the country. Some guy was drunk driving and flipped his car on one side and they saw it and dragged him out of the car

They didn't call the police because they know he'd go to jail for drunk driving

I told him "what if he was drunk driving and hit someone? What if it was your daughter?"

He said "none of my business"

He couldn't understand that the guy will drink and drive again and could kill someone

There's this overwhelming sense in the country that you shouldn't report anyone for anything

Don't give bad reviews , don't report people for their bulshit etc

I mean its not cool to drink and drive but at least there's some semblance of discretion left after decades of communist indoctrination.

@kaetaa *There's this overwhelming sense in the country that you shouldn't report anyone for anything* *unless they're foreigners that you suspect to be spies

righto actually

I wonder if its a pushback from those weird mandatory circlejerks where you accuse people of crimes

Don't be a rat tbh

also anyone seen the kids working at train stations, what's that about?

legal child labour?

ive never seen that yet

do they sell peanuts?

no they stand by the gate and ticket machines and help people

except they don't really help people cause they're kids and aren't that great at talking to people

friendlier than the normal people though

Might be volunteering for cs hours

I did that once and I wrote about it in my college apps

Kids in Indonesia are different tho. I had a very interesting conversation with a male sex worker (day time surf instructor) about growing up poor in indonesia

i was at a bar in malaysia speaking to this very beautiful waitress in english and she was talking about how shes still learning and is going to school etc

i said how old are you and she said she was 16

holy shit it really put things into perspective

oof

and those who give up school become either street vendors, surf instructors, or sex workers. or a combination of those

even bars and restaurants want employees with hospitality degrees nowadays

The point is that everything has a degree in most parts of Asia. A dual system like Germany's "Ausbildung" (3 year mixed on the job training + school combination) would save a lot of countries

same in the uk

as in everything has a degree

Especially for more applied jobs, like working in a restaurant

Well everyone decided to drop apprenticeships as the US did. God knows why..

To have a bigger percentage of the population have bachelors, even if they're useless ones

26 % of the people hold a degree in Germany, almost 40 % in Taiwan
