probably 30% or more of china's population lives in that coastal strip, so viet long would be maybe 3/4 chinese which is also funny i guess

ACs are necessary (in many climates) and will only become more so. ACs are the main reason why Singapore was able to develop in the 60s while other equatorial cities developed less

true, they are better, because you're not wearing someone else's skin over your own which is kinda weird

mid-2000s internet was the best, when browsing for cracked computer games on shady websites would give you popups that froze your computer, playing embarassing sounds of pornography or winning $2000 or both, while installing malware. bring it back, retvrn

there is polymer leather which works fine enough, and if you're a futurist and like wacky technology i remember reading about fungal leather as well as leather made from kombucha scoby, both sound weird and cool. using actual skin for clothing is weird but uncool

Lots of bullshit details here.

China expert was in China for a whole 18 months as an anglo expat english teacher. expat english teachers are famously known to learn much about the cultures in which they live. in no way do most of them make mostly expat friends, go to expat bars and eat at western slop restaurants

First thing they noticed about China: the macdongles is different! Surely this offers some insight into the asian mind.

The difference: I'm sure we've all seen the old redditesque urban legend where someone's dad prides himself of not cleaning up after eating, because being a messy dickhead "creates jobs". apparently, the chinese are a whole nation of redditor dads, which is now a socialist virtue. because there's nothing more socialist than creating work by wasting people's time, especially in a country that could maybe hire people to reforest the desert or work in a solar cell factory.

personally, I don't eat at mcdangols, whether in china or elsewhere, but I use their toilets frequently so i've been inside their corporate-imperialist embassies many times. chinese maccy-eaters are in no way more messy than westerners.

 

where can I find the sequels "Bad Gateway" and "Gateway Time-Out"?

are they considered bad canon like the Brian Herbert Dunes?

 

pretty cool that an asian newspaper is casually orientalist. qing dynasty dude, creepy dragon, indian people barefoot and wrapped in saris
