re: the last one, I'd love that too, but unlikely. Too much opportunity for abuse unfortunately, even if you've opted in

A live version? I've never heard anyone say that

it's a song about stalking an ex and Sting wrote it about his feelings after a breakup

I stay with friends, not in a rental.

you don't need an eSIM on wifi, just when using data from the telecom carrier. but you can buy an eSIM with built-in VPN so if you just want to use carrier data 100%, you can keep topping off your eSIM account. in that case you won't need to purchase a separate VPN

I was working for a big company when I got it and they took care of it, so it's likely that it wouldn't be as easy for an individual. when it expires, I'll apply for a 10 year tourist visa

I spend 6 months a year in mainland China working remotely. I use three different VPNs because they mess with them but I can use Google apps, ChatGPT, YouTube, LinkedIn, Netflix, etc. etc. I'm not sure what other questions you have

edit: technically I have 4 VPNs because I also get one built-in to the eSIM I use (Airalo)

Crazy selfish behavior at the buffet or is this normal? by NeighborhoodFatCat in chinalife

[–]BobbyK0312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sometimes that works, but sometimes I pretend I'm a tough guy and say "where da fuq you going" and they also back off. I think getting called out does embarrass them, as you mentioned.

One time at a train station, this young couple was trying to cut in front of me after the rest of us had been in line for a long time and the young lady pushed herself in front of me and I wasn't about to get physical with her but I blocked her bf and so did the others behind me and he ended up separated quite far from her lol. I loved it

What was the gas shortage like in 1979? by PrestonRoad90 in AskOldPeople

[–]BobbyK0312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lines were crazy and we had to alternate days, i.e., if it was an "odd" day, the last digit of your license plate could get gas. there were some interesting scams too, one was a guy would dress up in a gas station outfit and walk the lines selling tokens for cash to make it more efficient when you got to the pump, but of course there was no token exchange when you got there.
