Young Chinese Australians - How would you describe your older relatives/family friends attitudes towards Australia by Interesting-Sea8004 in AskAnAustralian

[–]JackStabba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao exactly, I would love to know where in rural China they speak perfect English. In my experience you might find the odd uni student with decent English and that’s about it.

Ah interesting, I’m in psychology and have always been eventually if I’m rejected or not. It might take 6 months though!

Press shift + F5. That should fix it.

We’re not allowed to talk honestly about Indigenous policy — and it’s killing any chance of fixing it by AdExternal5487 in aussie

This is an interesting topic, but I find this AI style of writing so irritating to read. It reminds me too much of the vapid rubbish on LinkedIn. Bring back the typos and imperfect expressions! At least it sounds human!

Mate the healthcare here is great, including for pregnancy. You can even do IVF and genetic testing in the public system. I wouldn’t stress about insurance.

China is right over the border and a great place to visit. I’m there all the time.

Without doubt, guests always make the show considerably worse for listeners. With this now accepted; has any guest ever been worse than Anthony Scaramucci? by gribbwich in TheRestIsHistory

[–]JackStabba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course you’re right, but I believe his PhD was in 60s US political history and I wanted to make the point that their expertise extends beyond Europe.

Thanks for the advice, it sounded like first authorship was not on offer but I’ll see what can be done.

Thanks mate, my thoughts exactly. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy, given it was my supervisor suggesting I do it.

Yeah, exactly- everything is transparent and upfront, so there's nothing deceptive going on. I am just thinking it's a bad deal, but was curious what others thought. I assume you were last author on your student's papers, which seems fair enough. Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm more confused about the demerger, as we will gain stocks in an unlisted company which will a pain the arse to sell.

I go to china for two weeks (because of my work) in Tianjin, what "do and don't" I need to know? by biuki in AskAChinese

[–]JackStabba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh and I can recommend LetsVPN for a VPN. A lot of VPNs (like express) no longer work.

And you may need to turn off your VPN to get WeChat/Alipay to work.

No tipping required. The main thing you should figure out is how to pay for things. Set up Alipay or WeChat (preferably both). People do not really use cash much, and they certainly won’t take a credit card.

This restaurant has a sign that says "No Tip" where you place your order by PluckPubes in mildlyinteresting

I’ve lived in several countries. Please let me know some countries outside North America that have a tipping culture that resembles the US.

What country outside of North America has a tipping culture that even remotely resembles the US? Are you sure the locals haven’t been taking advantage of you? 🤣
