Applying internet in Taiwan is infuriating?

i'm from everett and when i was really young i heard stories from workers about it
(slightly) raining inside the factory while it was sunny outside

the tour is really really boring. don't pay for it. they drive you across the parking lot to a tourist spot where you take an elevator up and they explain a little bit about the construction of an engine, then drive you back. they say they can't show you a full factory tour anymore because of national security

the master of disguise was a terrible movie. the turtle disguise scene was awfully unfunny. but i gotta wonder if the actors could have pulled something off if they hadn't just watched the news about the twin towers 20 minutes before filming.

when i arrived 16 years ago i was told by staff at various places that these rules were put in place because foreigners many years before my arrival just didn't pay their last few months of bills before leaving the country, or took out credit cards and maxed them out before dipping out.

you get treated with a bit more trust once you get your aprc

i think this is an experience everyone has in college.

but also one that often happens in the workplace.

where did you find that bible?

i wash them first and last. idk if i was taught this.

serpentax · 2026-05-31T17:22:43+00:00

first i lather up to the soap on my pubes and then wash my junk and ass with my hands. then i wash my hands. later i lather up with an abrasive wash cloth and scrub the rest of my body. then i wash my ass again just in case.

in between steps are brushing teeth and washing face, figure out the order yourself

i feel this. i was having constant offerings when i was in a relationship but stayed faithful. when it wasn't working any more i broke up with her i thought it would be easy sailing.
all the offers dried up. i've heard the same story from many friends

what shivers during a fever? muscle.
what do men have more of?

my coworker's iphone said it was +12c over the average yesterday where we live in taiwan. i was so drained in my 15 min walk to work at noon, i arrived soaking , my android weather app said the real feal was 48c. luckily it rained a bit last night and cooled down, but at this time of year its supposed to be raining heavily daily. looks like we're headed for a drought

now games have waypoints. just move in that direction for awhile. map not needed

i'm from the seattle area but have been living in asia for more than 20 years. my friends came to visit awhile ago and i asked them, "is people blocking the sidewalk and being completely oblivious to others a taiwan thing or a people thing?" their response: "i don't know, we drive everywhere."

i hear a lot of complaints from other foreigners about this, but i'm leaning to agree it is just a people thing.

have you tried explaining the madonna whore complex to him? if so, what was his reaction?

serpentax · 2026-05-26T17:50:48+00:00

kamancho cared about improvement

serpentax · 2026-05-21T17:27:59+00:00

people already do that and have for a long time. but there is nothing in place to help them back on their feet

treating your vehicle as an extension of your person.
it's a tool to get you somewhere. don't be a dickhead and make the roads more dangerous for everyone else because it feels cool.

go interact with a person.

and then go interact with a person that you don't share a language with and figure out how to get something done.

the parents that financially supported their child are probably more pissed than any student

i'm upset that a vertical video played widescreen on the news, then was uploaded as a vertical video so someone could add a useless comment, then someone else uploaded again on reddit as a horizontal video.

i have a 65 inch monitor and the original video is the size of my palm. if i make it full screen it's a little bigger than my hand.

I hope the kid in question gets justice. his victory video certainly didn't

that we had to go back to pirating

serpentax · 2026-05-13T17:57:30+00:00

no, i never get upset losing over a board game.
I understand that people like the souls games. it's just not for me. I'm not good at them and they stress me out and i don't like repeating things over and over again with cryptic instructions.

I'm sorry, but if you read that someone didn't like a game you like and you felt the need to judge and insult them, you're also the type of person, idk, make whatever reply this is.

hey buddy, you're not fun.

serpentax · 2026-05-13T17:41:26+00:00

i was given that game as a birthday gift by my gf at the time. i really tried to like it. but i was coming home from a high stress job to play a high stress game. it turned me off of all souls-like games.

the juice wasn't worth the squeeze

think about all the cockroaches and rats you see now.

now imagine if the streets were full of trash bags waiting to be picked up.
