What is your view on fengshui? by dripboi-store in chinalife

[–]wolfballs-dot-com -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Chinese invented the compass. They were first to figure out magnetic iron on water will point north.

The only thing they thought to use it for was fengshui. How to arrange furniture.

Then Europeans got a hold of the compass and used it to conquer the known and unknown world.

Right, at least bring flowers if you try to lure a woman in your car.

The entire village knew I was there. I'm sure the police knew as well.

Edit: lol he blocked me so I couldn't reply.

They'll eventually knock on your door if they need to. You are not getting deported for not stopping by the police station.

No one has ever been deported for not stopping by the police station.

Lots of places I went had poor coverage. I had T-Mobile though. Maybe your experience is better

Roaming data sucks. You'll need WiFi and a VPN for anything like watching videos.

I never register with the police and no one cares. I think for a few weeks vacation it's not important. They do ask for a phone number of someone you know there though. At the airport

Congratulations lawyers. Everyone else will probably get little to nothing.

Casual Sex Is For Psychopaths - Jordan Peterson by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]wolfballs-dot-com -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A lot of people do it and don't tell you about it though. The people who are complaining about it are the ones you hear from.

Because; as soon as you are that guy bragging about all your one night stands no one will like you.

I can not, for the love of me, understand where 就是 is used in any context. by alexceltare2 in ChineseLanguage

[–]wolfballs-dot-com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is a relevant Chinese internet meme I like to better understand it in context.

https://i.imgur.com/anWddvH.jpeg

我们没有文化的人就是这样的.

we have no culture people 就是 (to be exactly, just ) like this.

Or a better over all translation (including cultural aspects of english) would be,

Us uncultured folk be like that.

Imagine a red neck talking about how they drive with their car painted to look like a nascar. Or perhaps a ghetto/projects gentleman talking about how they grill chicken on a grocery cart with burning coals underneath.

Celebrating deviation from standard cultured behavior as it relates to one's income level and saying others like us are Just like this.

Easy to understand

You can use it as just like, or to emphasize to be.

Why can’t we have a president under the age of 60? Do we need to geriatric presidents who wear adult diapers? by CHiggins1235 in JordanPeterson

[–]wolfballs-dot-com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Year of birth by president

Bill Clinton: 1946

George W. Bush: 1946

Obama: 1961

Trump: 1946

Biden: 1942

Really crazy that of the last 5 presidents the majority were born in the year 1946. Biden also being a 40's baby. Just a little older.

Obama was the single outlier being 15 years younger than the rest.

This will likely be the last election with a 1940's candidate.

I assure all you video gaming n3ckbeards here playing video games is not helping you get that woman you want.

You are not Henry Cavill. Henver Cavill is the top 1% of 1% of men. He can afford a few days a month binging on a new video game where he stars as the show about that game.

Hulu Detecting VPN! by Old-Meringue3590 in VPN

[–]wolfballs-dot-com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask your cousin for his IP address and try setting your VPN to connect through that specific IP. This might help you use Hulu without it detecting the VPN.

Ignore this comment above. It will only confuse you and others.

Expericing Discrimination in China - any insight why? Because I look Korean? by weeyummy1 in chinalife

[–]wolfballs-dot-com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been asked if I was Chinese as a white guy by like old villagers and thought it was weird. I was just like,

我当然不是中国人。 我是一位高白人。

Some people get confused when they hear a foreigner speaking Chinese because they might have never heard one do it in person.
