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
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
Koreans mate

What did he mean by this
It's even funnier considering that they're over saturating on economic "desk" jobs because mom and daddy told them so.
Thats pretty much everyone outside of some germanic countries and some local stuff stateside
