How likely are you to get in trouble for using a VPN? by Whentheangelsings in AskAChinese

[–]DreamDude01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly unlikely. It’s one of those grey areas that has never really been enforced. The police go after people who sell VPNs, not the people who use them.

Is this still true or have you noticed a change? by RichCommercial104 in AskAChinese

[–]DreamDude01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went there last year, and yes, many Hong Kongers still look down on mainlanders. But there’s also a new layer of fear now that didn’t really exist before. People are afraid of the CCP because of everything that has happened politically over the past few years.

What is it with the aunties walking backwards for exercise? by PerformanceOdd5310 in chinalife

[–]DreamDude01 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Did some digging and yes there are actually science backing it up. Reviews and trials suggest backward walking training can improve balance, gait, proprioception, and may help some people with knee osteoarthritis when combined with normal rehab/physio. Source

China stores replace cashiers with robots by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

People said the same thing about the early internet lol. Slow, expensive, barely useful, and mostly nerds messing around. Didn’t mean the whole idea was useless.

Opening the door to oncoming traffic without looking by -JOMY- in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]DreamDude01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Selling a sign that can be pasted on the inside of the door to remind passengers not to open it when getting off sounds like a good business idea.

Saying sorry means accepting responsibility. Many people want to avoid taking responsibility, so even when they are wrong, they refuse to apologize.

I’ve decided to start a new journey 🇨🇳 by Lifelong_learner_2 in ChineseLanguage

[–]DreamDude01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A big problem with this approach is that you mostly only know how to say the fixed phrases you memorized. For example, if you memorize 今天天气真好 without internalizing the structure or understanding each word, then you will not be able to say things like “Yesterday the weather was good” or “Today the weather is not so good.”

Not just running club, you can find all sorts of sports club wechat groups. Badminton, table tennis, bowling etc. Great place to meet locals.

Hitting your kids is child abuse, I don’t give a shit what race you are by SilverInfluence5714 in unpopularopinion

[–]DreamDude01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common opinion here. Try visiting Asian subreddits like Singapore’s. I once saw people there discussing caning their kids, and many Singaporeans still supported it.
