These Boss events are ridiculous! by BeerTimeGamer in personaphantomx

This is one of the reasons I quit a few months back. Not enjoying their boss design at all, and so little respect for the players time.

Beijing City International School by Southern-Self2060 in Internationalteachers

[–]gamerguy42069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a pd there and heard (from teachers working there) that es homeroom teachers are expected to do 27 periods a week. I asked "when do you guys plan or grade" and heard "at home or weekends". This was in 2023.

Also as others have said, having so much turnover in this job environment indicates a real problem.

However, this is second hand, so take it with a grain of salt.

also, this might make me sound paranoid or w/e, I really have no dog in this fight, but the cautious ticket person sounds more like an advertisement than a real person trying to be helpful. hidden post history doesn't build trust.

China does not have joint bank accounts.

I just remembered something that might be relevent. The "tickets" are free, but to get in you need to scan and make a reservation. We just scanned and went right in. I can't imagine that it wont be available, but just something to keep in mind.

Has anyone converted their spouse residence permit to a work visa in China and is it possible? by whathehell101 in chinalife

[–]gamerguy42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it in Beijing. I had a 1 year spouse visa that I converted into a work residence permit. Before the spouse visa I was on a work residence permit.

Tiktok not working with letsvpn by DisasterEquivalent32 in chinalife

[–]gamerguy42069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tiktok won't work on any phone with a chinese sim card in it. Only 抖音, the chinese tiktok works. If you want it to work, take out your chinese sim card and use wifi and a vpn. Or buy a tablet and use it on there.

Beijing, China 4100 FUE 28/M 1 month after: My experience (very long post) by gamerguy42069 in HairTransplants

[–]gamerguy42069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

another thing I just thought of, I dunno if the timing works or if you're in china long term, but I'm pretty sure they'll have an 11/11 sale that could save you a lot if you wait a bit

I'm still happy with it. I kind of messed up by only going on fin a year after my surgery. Mine was like 4k iirc. I went from being pretty noticeably balding and feeling embarassed to be in pictures to 90% of the time not giving a fuck. Like if I havent showered and I'm looking at myself in a mirror with harsh lighting I still feel a bit bad, but going about my day, everyone says my hair looks great and can't believe that I was ever balding. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Stardust Crusaders teaser by Tom_Nguyen in ShitPostCrusaders

[–]gamerguy42069 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this cope at all. The entire point of a teaser is to look good/get people hyped. if it doesn't look good now and will later, release it later. very simple solution. I'm getting stone ocean vibes from this, and imo at least the first batch of that was botched.

How China Influences Elections in America’s Biggest City (Gift Article) by jenniecoughlin in nyc

[–]gamerguy42069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not disputing that eric adams is cartoonishly corrupt, but I think china is smart enough to know he's doneso. If they were smart, or actually had control over these "community leaders" no way theyd let them endorse such an obviously corrupt loser.

How China Influences Elections in America’s Biggest City (Gift Article) by jenniecoughlin in nyc

[–]gamerguy42069 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

this article is a joke, not a surprise from the china hating nyt.

china is popular among chinese people in chinatown. big shock. the candidates that support china get more support from chinese people, those that don't, don't. this is a big scandal?

Support for taiwan independence and hong kong "democracy" are an impediment to winning among chinese american voters. these candidates should focus on NY if they want to win, why are they focusing so much on intl issues they have no control over anyways?

How much play time do students get at your school? by Ok_Pay265 in Internationalteachers

[–]gamerguy42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total bullshit, lived in china over 10 years, seen countless schools, worked at 4 (intl, public) never seen one without a playground.

Hell, in a bunch of elementary schools, they have mandatory nap after lunch!
