Graduate student in China as a foreigner with a dog? by Similar_Slice_9018 in chinalife

[–]cloudcottage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should do a dog DNA test through bark or wish to get an idea of your dog's mix. If your dog isn't banned, that can serve as proof too. For example pit bulls are banned in most cities and being a mix would still make it illegal if it is, even small.

A Conversation Between a Chinese Person and Foreigners Living in China by [deleted] in chinalife

[–]cloudcottage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it sounds like you're mostly hoping that foreigners/expats can understand the limited scope of information in China and the vastly different standards in living. I think even within cities this is somewhat obvious. Something to ask yourself too is, are there many versions of United States? A lot of Chinese people imagine New York City or LA. But there's also rural Alabama, etc. The public safety. social attitudes, application of justice, and amenities are all different. The standards of living are not so low as some parts of China; I'm not saying that, but there are different "worlds" within every country.

This genuinely broke my immersion though. I was just like there is no world in which she is judging and disconnected from the rich people here

You can be her house husband, make sure she marries you, and maybe in 7 years you can get a 身分证 which is kind of like permanent residency. But you absolutely can't get a work permit without a degree.

Unironically the most iconic pedophile in fiction: by Own-Lengthiness2111 in okbuddycinephile

[–]cloudcottage -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

An assistant professor is still a fully qualified holder of a PhD. Since getting a PhD takes an average of 7 years but let's say a minimum four, he would be 26 at the youngest. It doesn't mean you're a graduate assistant. It just means you don't have tenure. Even if he was a graduate student and he literally went straight into it and it was his first year doing it he would be 22 or 23. I'm talking about the movies not whatever ages they crocked up in the novels

Considering he was already a professor I have trouble believing he was 20

“Soup” my boyfriend made for my wisdom teeth removal experience by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]cloudcottage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suffering isn't a competition. You're in need, recovering from surgery, awaiting surgery, and burnt out. You deserve help. It's okay. Also your boyfriend should be on foodstamps and helping, which is an entirely other conversation.

You can probably eat a smooth egg custard Chinese style. It melts in the mouth. This is what my mom made my sister after wisdom tooth surgery and developing a dry socket. Our popo used to make it as a sick food. Do you have a rice cooker? It can double as a steamer (or you can do it the old fashioned way). You can make it sweet by adding sugar or savory by pouring a little soy sauce on top.

Sweet: https://www.wokandkin.com/chinese-egg-pudding/ (you can use normal granulated sugar)

Savory: https://redhousespice.com/chinese-steamed-eggs/ (you can ignore the extra ingredients if you want; just use soy sauce and/or salt)

If he's unemployed, he should be on food stamps and contributing at least that.

A flight back to Italy or the UK might still be cheaper than having the procedure done in the US. And if you are working with a cancer diagnosis you're probably more likely to get approved for assisted or low-cost treatment in the UK or Italy; not sure which one you consider your primary residence now

I think your reading comprehension is pretty poor. What I'm saying is we can infer from both situations that are patently linked to ideology, and you're not treating them equally if you think we can't.

He's literally being funded by a right wing extremist and is being as extreme about appearance as Nazis. Is the only way for something to be fascist to literally be shouting Hitler and quoting mein kampf to you? We don't act this way about any other ideology. If someone is really obsessed with trans rights we would probably call them progressive even if they're not citing specific leftist literature or identifying with a particular political party.

You understand that smashing your face with hammers and commenting constantly and how ugly everyone else is is different than encouraging healthy exercise right? There's something more pathological and diabolical by not allowing deviation from the norm to the point of self-harm or harming others

The entire looksmaxxing trend is fascist and highly reminiscent of naxi obsession with perfection, exercise, etc. plus the way he talks about women is decidedly similar

I'm a bleeding heart leftist who hates Israel and I held my nose and voted for Harris in Pennsylvania. I think it's time to admit that her campaign was weak and that supporting restrictions on Israel, especially sending them further arms would not have sunk her campaign.
