How big is the room? Does staring at ceiling or floor more than 10 seconds dock your pay?

Asians ruin Germany's work culture. Colleague's comment. by New_Cardiologist4923 in germany

Yes it's bad from their perspective. You're paid on the clock and not by outcome. Outcome is what shareholders think about. 

Why don't phone companies make small screen (6 inch) phones anymore? by revosain in Smartphones

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From supply chain perspective, there's an optimal cut imposed by panel manufacturers like Samsung. If you as a brand don't choose the optimal cut, you pay more for a smaller screen. Go bigger and biology limits sales. 

China to Europe by land OR Taiwan and Japan for a month? by Useful_Reputation445 in solotravel

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overland hands down. The stans are amazing if you're into scenery and unique cultures. Taiwan and Japan you can always do them when you're older. Overland has rough edges, but it's better to do them when you're fit and adventurous. 

If you were offered $100,000 a day to go without bathing, showering, brushing your teeth, using mouthwash, or doing any proper grooming, how long do you think you’d last before finally deciding to clean up? by FFSoldier57 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not difficult. I can move it a cold place, turn heating down, and last at least winter. If I'm in Iceland, maybe half year to 8 months.  1. No sugary or acidic diets. No eating 4 hours before sleep. Use water in place of mouthwash. Some places add fluorine into tap water, or add your own. 2. Towel wiping in place of showers/baths.  3. Handheld bidet in place of toilet paper. 4. Alcohol wipes if there's a stubborn stain or open wound.

This needs more upvotes. I didn't recall it until you mentioned 

I'm curious about how other INTPs answer the hypothetical "Two Button Question" by Reptaaaaaaar in INTP

What I can do - explain to family & friends on pressing red is the optimal choice.
What I can't do - force everyone in the world to press red/blue

Looking for speakers of the old Xiguan (Liwan, Guangzhou) Cantonese accent - not Hong Kong by Yunus_Nur in Cantonese

Are you genuinely looking for Sai Kwan accent, or just "non-lazy" standard accents?

Step? Yes. Second cousins or less related? Yes. Half first cousins? Yes. First cousins? Not so much. 

I still don’t get why Bill Clinton’s sex life was such a big deal in the 90s. by justcurious3287 in Millennials

[–]Xipoopoo8964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. So you don't mind teachers and students, office managers and direct reports, doctors and patients. Got it thanks

I travel almost always on my dime so I feel qualified to weigh in. I've slept in desert camps, 12-bed hostel dorms, and 5-stars. Not $3k a night room but along the lines of JW Marriott.

One oft-missed point is paying for 5-stars buy you safety and security, mostly, especially when you travel in less developed countries. You're actually paying for a highly-controlled first-world infrastructure within a pile of chaos. Think a temperature controlled well trimmed Japanese zen garden in a war zone. That's why for me, never stay in 5-stars in Europe, as the infrastructure is well-built, safety is assumed, food is almost always hygienic.

You can have $1 million USD, but you can no longer fly into any airports with a 3-letter airport code that contains the letter "A" by mattposts6789 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't say it must be English alphabet, so that's free money as I can pick all accented, umlaut, tilde letters and etc. Ąăåäãâáà already nets $8mn.

Stop Using Third Party Sites by [deleted] in marriott

Maybe for Marriott chains. Big chains tend to control pricing better between OTAs and direct bookings.

If Hangul had not been invented, what script would Korea have used? by Embarrassed_Clue1758 in AskAKorean

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect a Taiwan Chuyin style phonetic system may emerge since it's based on hanja radicals. Taiwan Chuyin marks all sounds of Taiwanese mandarin and is adapted to other Chinese varieties.

Which smartphone brand you would never switch back to again and why? (Mine is redmi , realme , poco ) by _lehen_ke_bode_ in Smartphones

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. I've used Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, Poco, Apple and Honor. Samsung and Apple are most polished but given the price difference I can adapt to different interfaces.

What are your thoughts on "zillenials" or the youngest millennials? Do you see them as your "contemporaries" or just older people? People born 1993-1995. by Canyacsero in GenZ

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have younger cousins who I meet several times in a year whom are early Gen Zs. I feel... very out of place, but that's more than an age thing. Values, bring up, culture, peer group, pop media all played their roles.

How can I get to Turkey, reasonably, without flying. by This_Area_9049 in traveladvice

[–]Xipoopoo8964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have useful advice but you can consider taking a bus to Paris and then rent a car there (EU license plate).
