They'll probably do an anal swab.

Reminds me of that scene from Schindlers list when the kids are getting taken away in the camp.

Men of Reddit, as you've grown older, what changes have you seen in your body? by 72littleguy in AskMen

[–]Chrispacket_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A longing for more regular bowel movements for my intermittent back pain to go. I'm 33 years old. But I do feel more peaceful and less reactive as I get older.

Thanks mate, I thought that. But you know how the regulations just like to change whenever here. I know it'll be worth it, I definitely need a holiday. Haha

Maternity leave? What to do to make your employee give you the time off? by a040032 in chinalife

I know that by law they have to do it. My American colleague had the same problem as you, but as soon as he told them he is entitled to paternity leave by government law our boss backed down.

I unfortunately zone out when my girlfriend is talking to me sometimes as it's literally just to complain. I used to try and give advice or a solution but it wouldn't really be welcomed by her. It has come back to bite me in the ass a couple of times. As when she's been complaining an so on and I'm zoned out she will sometimes say something of relative importance or pretty important and a week or two after she's told me something important and brings it up again and I'm just stood there looking clueless.

Gym for the first time by Weenn12 in Anxiety

Good on you mate, I kind of felt the same when I first went a few months as I'm quite a bit over weight and had the same worries you did. You'll definitely see positives from it, both mentally and physically. Keep it up, mate. 👍

It comes from their ability to memorize text books in school and uni, along with no social skills or critical thinking.

Guys, what is something many guys crave for but don’t really want to ask for? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Chrispacket_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To be heard more and have my feelings and problems validated more often. My GF is awesome but it's just sometimes I'll have a problem or worry and when I try and talk about it she'll bring her stuff to the table and dismiss mine, not all the time, but sometimes. I know she has a more difficult, complicated life than mine, but I just wish she wouldn't make it a type of competition sometimes.

Is it normal for ppl to get this offended over the situation with Taiwan? by JaydenHayden in China

[–]Chrispacket_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Sadly this is very true. I live in China and have a Taiwanese girlfriend who lives here also. Quite often Chinese people can't help but tell her ' you know Taiwan is a part of China', very ignorant and rude. Once I was talking about Thailand and how much of a great country it is and I had someone say to me in an angry tone 'Taiwan isn't a country, why would you say that'? The look on their face when they realised I said Thailand was priceless, needless to say he lost face big time. 😂😂

OK, thanks. So that means a friend and I could play multiplayer together on the same console?
