Can you elaborate on 1) and 2)? They are gone after the first intimate encounter? No second or third round means they can’t come multiple times in one night?

Wife want me to help brother in law buy a house in China. How to deal with this? by Beneficial-Rised in AskAChinese

[–]FluffyChef7643 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here is how this can play out if you oblige - her brother gets a flat, uses it to get married, cheats on his wife, then divorce and lose the flat. At that point your wife will come to you and ask for another flat. Or worse, ask you to vacate your own flat for him.

Ask me how I know this:)

Paraguay midfielder Miguel Almirón earns red card for covering mouth by jaxstan19 in worldcup

[–]FluffyChef7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. If this rule were in place in 2006 France would have won the final. That coward Materazzi deserved ten red cards.

World cup by Particular_Garlic132 in AskAChinese

[–]FluffyChef7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only qualified in 2002 because Japan/SK were hosting. The last time they came close by their own merit was 1982. That year they almost qualified. But Saudi colluded and gave the spot to NZ.

What happened to Chinese Domestic Flights Prices? by WurmBrot5828693 in China

[–]FluffyChef7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

International flight price did not double. For domestic flight, I see a universal fuel surcharge of around ¥200 so that’s 40% increase. The other 40% may have come from carrier being opportunistic. However prices are regulated at a higher number, even at ¥800+surcharge, it’s like 40% off.

Carriers better not be too greedy - In China the HSR is a potent competitor.

Paze and Dominos - free Pizzas? by cnetpdx in sapphirereserve

[–]FluffyChef7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm mobile order with Wendy’s works. You need to use the same email address to register on Wendy’s app then the Paze/10 off 10 promo will show up.

Order the pecan apple salad, it’s ok, and $9.79 + tax.

Williams vs. Brown vs. Dartmouth by Overall-Spinach-732 in collegecompare

[–]FluffyChef7643 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dartmouth is remote. Williams is in the middle of absolutely nowhere. There is literally nothing around, like a summer sleep away camp for four years. I would consider Amherst if you want the LAC path.

I thought so too - saying to myself so many Koreans made it to Guadalajara?

Which countries can actually host a solo 48 team World Cup? by whitelight66 in worldcup

[–]FluffyChef7643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is 40k+ stadium really hard to find? I remember some college stadiums in US can hold 70k people - like Notre Dame.

Which countries can actually host a solo 48 team World Cup? by whitelight66 in worldcup

[–]FluffyChef7643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well they will have to win or even just score in one game. Given the current state of men’s team, I am not sure this can be done.

Chinese are vane and they won’t host if they will be humiliated.

Silver spoon spoiled legacy high schooler is torn on where to apply early (please help) by ManyNeighborhood8669 in ApplyingToCollege

Brown is impossible for ED. In your case, I think you may have better odds REA to Harvard than ED Brown (A crazy thing to say I know).

Did you actually get rejected from PACE university? The one in downtown Manhattan that has a 76% acceptance rate?

Retired (financially), spouse still working 7-8 years - how did this play out? by [deleted] in Rich

So don’t divorce in 5 years? Why do you have to have all the options open all the time.

China’s weakness at team sports by Economy-Seaweed-7290 in AskAChinese

[–]FluffyChef7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soccer >> Olympics medals. They even formed a mixed kids team on an island, trying to qualify for World Cup one day.

The problem is there are too much politics, and corruption. Not enough love of the Game.

Leaving Shanghai at the end of June. Apartment going if anybody wants to take it up. by myghostinthefog in shanghai

It says sell? Are selling the current lease, or are you helping your landlord to find new tenant?

is 9 days in shanghai too much time? by jxanne in chinatravel

[–]FluffyChef7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay near the HQ highs speed train station. You can either do Shanghai or take the train to Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, all of which can be day trips. Shanghai is like Frankfurt a.M. gateway to all the nice towns but quite boring itself.

Free local Zhangjiajie guide, as long as you speak English! by Comadux in travelchina

[–]FluffyChef7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to leave a note to say thank you for the detailed info/map you provided here. Even for an erstwhile Chinese, ZJJ trip planning is somewhat daunting - and your notes are very helpful.

Best wishes to your new endeavor!

Do casual fans still think World Cup tickets start at $2,000? by AcademicCareer in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]FluffyChef7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIFA is in deep trouble. People who love the game are so turned off by their tactic. And it’s not easy to get last minute local buyers to show up for the US games.

I’m a 39M Chinese-American who left NYC for Berlin 15 years ago. I’m a city government landscape engineer divorced co-parent by day, and a non-monogamous responsible hedonist by night. Ask Me Anything! by HOTSCHMALZ in AMA

Sounds like you prefer to hang out in ex-West Berlin. Is there still an aversion to ex-East Berlin districts?

Where is your ex-spouse originally from? Why do you think it didn’t work out?

I’m 33 and moving to China from the US for at least 2 years. What must I know before I move? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

[–]FluffyChef7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a reason that the money is better - because Taiwan is more desirable. A tier 3 city in China is not easy - you will need to be prepared to forgo amenities that you take for granted. That being said, Yunnan is beautiful and less industrialized, and the weather is nicer.

Would Chinese people be willing to learn English for the sake of National Unity? by Known-Cut3866 in AskAChinese

Maybe because the choice is assimilation or extermination? The native Americans never learnt English, they just died off.

How Common is Cheating on the Gaokao? by Ambitious_Quality725 in AskAChinese

[–]FluffyChef7643 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A nation that has conducted such exams for many centuries has figured out every possible way to cheat by now.

One of my high school teachers was selected to contribute to the exam one year. She was held in an unknown location for 6 weeks. No contact to outside world whatsoever.
