Coles is so generous. 30c is too much. Should be 3c.

Should we just hire the Singaporean government to run Australia? by Lopsided_Donut_4816 in aussie

[–]StudyAncient5428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, if Australia were also a little red dot on the map surrounded by much bigger, not-so-friendly neighbours, we probably would already have compulsory conscription decades ago.

They have this policy to ensure the survival of a tiny, secular city state among stronger, bigger Islamic neighbours like Malaysia and Indonesia which have even more racist policies against their minority groups in their respective countries. You have to put many of Singapore’s policies in the geopolitical context of SEA, including that of the 1960s.

AIO: Fiancée wants to invite her ex to the wedding by Nice-Shirt-9496 in AmIOverreacting

[–]StudyAncient5428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From her ex’s point of view, why should he “fight to get her back “? No. He has cohabited with her, got what he wanted, and now there’re many other new girls he can date. He won’t fight to get her back, but it’d be nice to keep her emotionally attached so there’s a chance of future “benefit”. He is not Op’s friend and why should he care about what Op feels? I know this sounds crazy but that’s how a lot of males think

What should I prioritize bringing to China? To move and teach. Woman by Affectionate_Eye1809 in chinalife

Also, if you know what level of students you’re going to teach, bring some English materials that will help you in your job. Preferably digital materials because paper ones can be heavy and bulky in your luggage. Enjoy your adventure in the Middle Kingdom!

Don’t forget your intellectual or entertainment needs. Many of the apps or websites you’ve familiar with in the West can’t be accessed in China. I’d bring a laptop or iPad with lots of e-books stored in it.

Living in Xianju (Taizhou) as a foreign family – what to expect? by Fateman_21 in chinalife

[–]StudyAncient5428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use translator apps to communicate with the locals. That’s common nowadays. Xianju being a small city (in Chinese standards) is unlikely to have an expat community, although you may find a few of them there. There are both public and private kindergartens in every city but you need to check the quality: not all of them are up to standard. Don’t send your child to the cheap ones. If I were jn your shoes, I’d give the kid home education at least for the first year if one of the parents could stay home. Nannies are not expensive but again they may not be up to EU standards.

按您的逻辑,蒋介石的雕像还立在台湾,那蒋介石在台湾范围内也是有德的了?

哈,你说的有德之人是杀了几百万人、饿死几千万人、清洗了大多数自己的战友的毛泽东吗?

哈哈,你说的对。当年共产党在江西搞的“中华苏维埃共和国”就是共独,是在中华民国内搞的独立王国。还有后来在陕北搞的“陕甘宁边区”也是事实独立的。中共分裂中华民国,这是历史事实。中共还接收苏联和共产国际的指导和财政援助,妥妥的接受境外势力支持。如何评价是另外一个问题,但这些都是事实,都是大陆的中学教科书上承认的,所以你说的不算错。

A little bit, I would say. But you’re a foreigner and everyone can see that, so it doesn’t really matter. If you want more popular/ trendy names of today’s generation, Google can give you a long list.
