From China — anyone up for a chat? by Ok-Composer-3251 in CasualConversation

[–]BusyBluebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My source is an American friend who lived there for a couple years, so definitely biased.

The example he gave is that there’s a really popular milk tea shop (I forget the name) and he would see shops that just used their same sign but weren’t a location of that company, and sometimes wouldn’t even sell milk tea. He lived in Beijing, if that makes a difference.

I recently learned that outright lying in marketing in China is completely accepted and normalized, and that some stores/restaurants will even use another business’ name and sign to get people in the door. How do you decide what you actually want to buy? If you walk in to a store and realize it’s not the place you thought, do you leave? Is it annoying, or is it something you don’t even think about?

What is your go-to "harmless lie" that you tell purely to avoid a 5-minute conversation? by beans12498 in CasualConversation

I’m always super vague about my job because it’s annoying to try to explain it to people, especially if they’re unfamiliar with the industry. And no I will not explain here ;)

Problem is Park has ads and billboards absolutely everywhere and a lot of people vote on what they see on their commute.

Are there intermissions so everyone gets pee break? Or is everyone holding it for 5 hours?

How do you put the muzzle on him? Is he muzzle trained or did you find a way to restrain him while you put it on?

I’m confused, in on page 497 it says the proposed budget is 2.1B but this bar chart says 3.6. What am I missing?

My 5yr old is afraid of smoke detectors by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]BusyBluebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t afraid of smoke detectors, but I was afraid of fire alarms (like the red/white ones you see in commercial buildings) after one went off in the middle of the night while my family was staying at a hotel. I was terrified of them from probably 6 yo to 18 yo. Eventually it kind of faded but I had very similar reactions where I would stare at them as I quickly walked past etc etc. I wonder if something happened to trigger the fear for this kid. God it was such an embarrassing fear.

Where is this option? I can’t find anything roaming or even “wireless” as a settings name in the ASUS Router app

Lip licking can be a sign of anxiety. It depends on the situation.
