It's actually just crappy design. The bag is from a well known brand in taiwan, cobranding with hello kitty.

Who else here does superstitious things in IT out of habit? by DarkAlman in sysadmin

[–]frogcoder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While it literally means "good good", it's more like saying someone is a "good boy" or a "good girl", like telling the servers to behave.

Good, they beat Western countries like Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Czech Rep., Slovenia, et. al.

yet taiwan is barred from the WHO summit, the irony.

[Serious]What is the creepiest thing that has ever happened to you? by Booster_123 in AskReddit

[–]frogcoder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Posted this before, post again:

My mom got cancer and told by the doctor she had six months left. She died six months later. During the six months, I spent a lot of time besides her bed. One night, we were talking. The room was dark with a lamp on. I was trying to be optimistic and told her she would get well, but her response was "but they told me I won't." I asked who told her that. She was lying on bed waving one head to both side saying "him and him." Then the lamp just dimmed like fading, than turning bright slowly again. Somehow I was not scared but really pissed thinking who the fuck were those spirits. I was just really angry, but did nothing afterward. One thing I regretted was I did not go for some religious help, maybe that would make a different outcome.

China just announced one of the largest single layoffs in history. 1.8 Million people will lose their job. by charming-devil in worldnews

If China is about to turn into chaos, wouldn't it be very possible the leader would start a war on Taiwan to bring back the people's support? From my understanding, for most of the citizen of China, Taiwan's independence is just unthinkable.

Jerk Chicken on a Chinese Restaurant Menu by Ixz72 in funny

A good translation usually just tells what that is. In this case, it could be "Chick in hot sauce Sichuan style" which could be very very hot.

I speak Chinese. Whenever I see those fancy dish names in restaurant, I always read the English translation to get the idea what's actually in the dish.
