no dont be stupid, that gives you alzheimers
you re supposed to rub it into your gum

although tiger balm is fucking magic

for bug bites

and I get about a dozen bites every single week

@Deleted User yes, but its not just that - they think cold water is hazardous to your health, like really fucking dangerous

I had a friend who I met in Texas, he was from the chinese city i live in now, actually. He studied and lived in USA for 5 years without returning to mainland once, and he came back a few months ago for a visit a few times

he was like disgusted. He kept telling me he had culture shock in china and how he wanted to go back to usa

how he didnt realize how shitty everything was in china before, but now that he's back he hated it so much

he even didnt want to spend time with his family - since they would never shut the fuck up about him saying that china is better than USA, pressuring him to do shit etc.

he was here for like 5 days after 5 years visit, then left early to travel in nearby countries

I've been thinking about what I actually like about mainland China and the best I've come up with is there are some nice scenary

they're pretty scarce and far

yeah its tough to get to some of the better ones because you need a bus or something

but they are nice

Well it kindof makes sense i guess that they think cold water is bad for you

i don't think the tap water quality is that good in china

so they probably boil it before drinking or something

trouble is, they often carry that mentality when them when they migrate to first world countries where they know its reasonably safe

case in point: my chink mum

yeah

Cold water =/= dirty water

They don't even drink cold bottled water

Even if the water is safe they drink hot . Has nothing to do with dirty water

They think our bodies are hot hot hot so if you bring your temperature down with cold stuff you'll get sick

lol

weirdos

getting cold does not even make you sick

China would be really great if the Chinese people weren't here.

I'm looking for a taxi and 3 slowed down to pull over, saw that I was a foreigner and then drove off

Racist shitheads.

👍

Tell them about the importance of diversity.

My mum would go on for hours whenever she saw me with a bottle of water, telling me it would give me cancer and that cold water would send me back to the hospital again

You just can't talk them out of it

Chink beliefs are hard coded into them

Push her over the edge by adding ice cubes.

are in in china @kaetaa ?

yes

for almost 2 years

125 days until I can escape :(
