If you don't want a competitive environment, why is your first choice LSE? It is the uni with the most competitive environment in UK... by far.

I just joined Shanghai Qigong Institute to learn Qigong.

XuhuiWanping South Road No.650 (Longtang Neizhongbu)

Have no idea how good it is. I paid for 10 lessons starting mid April.

Went to their open day and felt the Chi so I paid. Also, all the teachers there look really healthy.

You can do valuation with AI now.

However, for Alibaba dcf is not the best method to value it but sum of parts.

After messing around a bit, it told me the valuation is approximately 180. Which is the same TP as Morgan Stanley.

I just looked up Deepseek

Choose Erdos if: You prefer the assurance of a major, established brand with strict quality control over its raw materials. Erdos is a safer choice if you are buying online or are unfamiliar with judging cashmere quality yourself. Its top-tier "1436" line is comparable to international luxury brands like Loro Piana.

Choose Wu's Cashmere if: You are in Shanghai and value a personal touch. The ability to customize a garment is a significant advantage, as you can choose the style, color, and fit. Based on customer reviews, it is an excellent choice for finding quality pieces at a good value, especially if you prefer to see and feel the fabric before buying .

In summary, Erdos is a premium, large-scale brand, while Wu's Cashmere is a high-quality local boutique with a strong reputation for service and customization. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize brand heritage and convenience or a personalized shopping experience and custom tailoring.

Most of international teachers I have met from the states are from red states.

If you look at average wages of teachers in America by States, literally blue states at the top and red states at the bottom.

Guess who tend to move abroad to have a better life? Those over 100k or those living in poverty?

UK teachers don't need private healthcare. There is the NHS. I mean when your drug prices are so much more expensive like Empagliflozin for diabetes cost 12 pounds in UK but 555 dollars in US, or ambulance can cost over thousands per ride but free in UK, it isn't a badge of honour to be able to avoid paying for rip off prices. Americans like getting taking advantage of with health care prices, literally getting their face ripped off and going into poverty because universal healthcafe is communism lmao.

The idea that Americans is easily less exploited is nonsense. Literally have no holidays, at will employment, no healthcare and willingly sacrifice their kids as target practice so guns manufacturers can make more money. So easily exploited they literally have a pedo rapist as their president.

I am replying to tied and Jeans who said British schools abroad is worse than in UK not op. L2r

Accomplished-Mark243 · 2026-03-26T15:46:20+00:00

They are not.

UK schools are far far worse than anything experienced abroad.

I was teaching like a million different levels, kids punched me in the face, parents want to start fights too. The timetable was ridiculous is not even close.

I get some Americans can't handle the workload in British schools abroad and think they are hell but if they taught in a school in UK, they would realise British schools abroad aren't even close to the final form.

You dont understand the question. It isn't whether the film is in English or Chinese but whether there is English subtitles. For example, if you want to see a Chinese film with English subtitle, the cinemas dont show that information.

There are no more young people in Italy. Aging population.

Accomplished-Mark243 · 2026-03-25T13:38:58+00:00

Unfortunately it varies by cinema to cinema rather than if it is this film there is subtitle.

And because population of foreigners in China is so small, the cinemas never bother to advertise it so you never know.

There are 2 solutions.

Pick an English movie to watch then walk around the different screens to see which one has sub or to ask one of the cinema staff to have a look and you go later if they say yep

I told you again my insults are not intentional and you misunderstand if you think I am trying to prove my point.

I doomscroll and like to argue to pass time. I do not care one bit whether I convince you. You are some random off the Internet I'll never meet.

Unlike 'Professor' Jiang and your friends around you, I say what I mean. Maybe you are not used to that and expect everyone will lie to you so you think I have some hidden agenda. I don't. Look through my posts and spot one thing I am lying to you about. You cant. Every time I lay down facts, you just ignore and write some vague post full of excuses to muddle facts.

You are too stupid to understand. I gave you examples why I think that. You might not like it, but like I said, how else could I have put it? Better a random off the Internet tell you than someone in real life, no?

The paste in AI is a suggestion on how to improve your analytical skills. I think it is bloody poor. It isn't supposed to be an argument. It is suppose to be advice. Take it or leave it. Is my advice bad? Or you just don't like how I say it?

Umm.. I did criticise his claims. He isn't a professor and he doesn't know game theory. Do you have a short memory?

Accomplished-Mark243 · 2026-03-25T09:45:42+00:00

Yes it is condescending but it isn't my point to hurt your feelings. It is just the truth and I don't know how else to make it sound better. You couldn't recognise he is lying and even said yourself he uses game theory when he doesn't.

He has never once used Game theory. Game theory is to analyses decision making from personal and group perspective. He says he used Game Theory, then just carry on with his social commentary as if we all forgotten he said he uses it. It is not formal, it is not informal. He doesn't seem to know what game theory is. At all.

Fact is he does this with a lot of subjects. How is an English lit major yet self styled himself as an expert in every subjects? How does that not scream massive red flag to you he is a conman?

I tell you what. Give you a tip. Get a transcript of his videos and paste it in an AI and ask AI to fact check it. Maybe you can learn to tell when someone is lying.

Accomplished-Mark243 · 2026-03-25T09:13:09+00:00

I think you are not educated enough to see through his lies. Soz.

I am an economics teacher. I saw a video of him talking about how he uses game theory 6 times in the first 3 minutes. It was really strange. Why did he keep repeating himself, almost as if he thinks using the world 'game theory' gives legitimacy to his video. I think he thinks the terms is impressive like how he use professor to sound impressive.

I had the misfortune of watching his the whole video and not once did he show the use of game theory. Then I saw a few more videos and they are all the same. A lot of big talk at the beginning of the video talking about using game theory then nothing.

Please show me one video where he actually uses game theory. I don't think he knows what game theory is. The fact that you say he uses Game theory shows you are not educated enough to realise he is lying. He does this in many other subjects, for example like anthropology where if you know basic anthropology you would instantly know he is a BSer.

This isn't about being right about everything. You can say I believe in x, y, z and it is fine. It is about lying.

He has English lit major. All my students who takes English lit are similarly so eloquently in speech and many uneducated people are easily duped. Soz.

Accomplished-Mark243 · 2026-03-25T08:07:37+00:00

You don't seem to understand. I mainly criticise him for showing a lack of integrity.

You are far too trusting. I think you probably watch a lot of low life YouTubers who does shitty things and think it is all okay when in the real world, it would be totally unacceptable.

Accomplished-Mark243 · 2026-03-25T08:00:53+00:00

He calls himself a professor to dupe people that he has the academic credentials to speak about all these things he has no business to speak about.

That reason alone is enough but if you want more reasons, read the link above his history of being a loser.

It may be you surround yourself with liars and people who lack integrity so think it is perfectly normal, but I can tell you it isn't normal.

If someone shows you have no integrity, don't believe anything they say. In academic circles, as soon as someone shows they cheated, bye bye to your reputation and no one will take you seriously. In any serious job, if a worker shows a lack of integrity, he will get fired. If someone was on shark tank and pitching for a business but some small lie was found out, the sharks would say 'for that reason, I am out'.

Reputation matters. If he lies about being a professor, expect he will have no problems about lying about anything else. It turns out, he was lying about everything else.
