am Chinese in the US, visited China a few months ago
I can't speak for Beijing or anywhere up north
Either way, from the looks of those videos... just rampant counterfeiting? Never knowing what you'll end up eating doesn't seem like something I'd enjoy.
Foreign brands are massively restricted, so everyone is used to the local chinese brands
There really isn't anything counterfeit unless you go to the shady corners for knockoffs
That video though... even the stores were counterfeit. 😂
i used to work at a grocery store and we had guidelines for ~certain ethnicities~ were you had to be following them
Oh?
Go on. Sounds juicy.
well, they were gypsies and there had been reports of shoplifting done by them across the city so the chain prepared guidelines
Aha, but that's just natural.
I thought you meant stuff like "sell shitty goods to [unwanted people]".
Depression IS a thing. Only country in world where women suicide more than men
Damn that's pretty sad
since theres so many people, the system to get into college is fucked. kids have zero fun once they enter primary school. you pretty much never see kids out in the streets, even on weekends, unless they are walking to/from school
their life is school, training schools, homework, sleep
until they go to college
then in college its impossible to fail, so they take it easy and go crazy
get pregnant, drink like crazy, smoke etc
are we talking about china?
that's what I thought at first
but China isn't nearly as high stressed as I believed
only urban cities have that kind of atmosphere
so wait.. price comparison is bad on their small minds
(nevermind i had scrollback)
yeah the adults are laid back and lazy as fuck
How the fuck he is still alive after this
actual brain was not damaged
Ah right
There's a story about a construction worker who took a 3 inch nail to the forehead and walked himself into the hospital.
Managed to lodge itself in the exact same safe path brain surgeons take, 1/8" in any direction and he would have died.
there was a railroad worker who had a metal pipe blow a hole through his head and he was just fine
>"no longer gage"
>he was just fine
really fires your neurons
Here's the example of shit I go through:
(I'm Chinese)
Dad goes fucking ballistic at me for my neglect of maintenance of my vehicle
screaming at my face how I'm a piece of shit, worthless garbage who does nothing except eat
(He's a full time mechanic still is, and does maintenance for the family fleet)
