06/10/25 - My company had a unit where people were inviting their parents, their wife, their kids, and their chickens over.
“1. If a girl is wearing form-fitting clothes both top and bottom, the first of all, it means she’s very confident in her figure.
2. If she’s wearing loose outfits top and bottom, linen or chiffon, or neo Chinese style, it means she hates bodily contact, so don’t touch her.
3. If her top is tight but her pants are loose, usually, if she looks really open and friendly, she’s actually super conservative. She looks professional, but she wants to be more conservative. A lot of artist types wear form fitting tops with a big flowing dress. It means she desires love but she’s torn about it.
4. If she wears loose tops and form-fitting bottoms, like jeans, it means she’s experienced. You can’t call her an Onee-san type, she’s just an expert at socialisation.”
Comments say, “Bullshit. They’re all just trying to look thin.”
“I’m the 3rd type, but it’s just because I have a pear-shaped body and I look thinner this way.”
“Hahahaha, it’s not just because they’re trying to hide thick legs?”
“News from the 9th of June, a tragedy happened in a certain development in Shaoguan City, Wujiang District. Mr. And Mrs. Zhao were walking along the street with their four-year-old child when a turtle fell off of a 17th story balcony and hit the kid on the back of the head. The child passed away in the hospital after resuscitation attempts failed. Eye witnesses claim, “The turtle fell like a rock.” Police identified pet owner Zhang through security camera. His balcony railing was only waist high, and the turtle enclosure was not properly secured. The courts ruled that Zhang needed to pay 1.28 million in damages, and after negotiation, Zhang agreed to a payment plan with a 30 day grace period.
They had a mere waist-high railing for a 17th story balcony, and apartment management was freed of all wrong doing because there were “no neglect of managerial duties”? It shows that supervisory bodies might as well not exist. Risk management is always after the fact. The fact that there were no mandatory smart cameras or sealed windows shows that there’s not nearly enough public safety investments. If we don’t strength laws, prosecute apartment management, and increase our defenses, the “danger from above” is never going to be stopped.”
Comments say, “Huh? How is this the apartment management’s responsibility? Shouldn’t it be the developer’s or the homeowner’s responsibility?”
“Did Zhang throw the turtle over the balcony, or did it climb out and fall down on its own? There’s been a case before of a dog that jumped off a balcony and killed someone. There’s a certain amount of inevitable risk if you choose to own a pet.”
“If something went wrong, the apartment should be responsible.”
“Fox News reports that 122 Chinese illegal immigrants were deported last week. 90% of them are men, and a lot of these deportees are criminals, including murderers, rapists, human traffickers, and drug smugglers, etc…”
Comments say, “Most border crossers are like this, but they’ll claim that they were oppressed and are seeking freedom.”
“What are we gonna do with them once they’re back?”
“Can we not just toss them off the plane into the ocean or something? We don’t want these mad dogs either.”
#Family refuses to sign for epidural for mother in delivery so she signs it herself. “33-year-old expecting mother Chen had a big argument with her family about whether or not she was going to use an epidural during delivery. Her husband, father, and mother were all against epidurals because “all medicine is poison” and “it’ll be bad for the baby”. Despite opposition from her family, Chen signed for herself and got herself 50 hours of pain relief, and in the end, Chen was able to deliver a healthy baby after 30 minutes of labour.”
Comments say, “Exact same epidural, but they have no problems with it when they’re pushing for a C-section so the baby would be born at a luckier hour. Then they don’t think all medicine is poison.”
“Let us thank the mom that died for the cause in Sha’anxi. She couldn’t take the pain and threw herself off the building in order to get the rest of us the right to choose how we deliver. It was only after that that anyone cared about pain management for labour and delivery. I hope her and her baby are doing okay in heaven.”
“This happened in 2025???”
“Famous prostitute in late Qing Dynasty, Yang Cuixi. She looks like a child, but at the time, she was worth as much as 12,000 gold! “Nepobaby” Li Shutong became a monk for her. Three officials were fired for her. Cixi called her a “destroyer of nations”. And it’s created the infamous Yang Cuixi Corruption Case.”
Comments say, “Li Shutong did not become a monk for her sake. Please respect history.”
“Stop slandering Li Shutong and get a job.”
“So they’re all pedos?”
“Can I invite my sister over for a few days in my side bedroom? I’m a workhorse in Beijing, renting a company apartment. I live in the side bedroom. My sister is much younger and just finished her high school entrance exam. We get along really well, and I wanted to ask if it would be appropriate to invite her over for a few days and we’ll share a room.
One of my coworkers sleeps in the main bedroom. We get along okay. Do I need to ask his permission? Or should I just forget about inviting my sister?”
Comments say, “If he doesn’t object, then it’s fine. My company had a unit where people were inviting their parents, their wife, their kids, and their chickens over, just not all at the same time.”
“Why are you asking us? Ask your roommate.”
“When you first got hired, did they not train you on company culture? You gotta treat the company like family. Forget about your dorm, go ahead and bring her to work. If you get busy, just have her sit in a conference room and play on her phone and eat snacks.”
Another compilation of regrets:
“Everyone underestimates the aftershocks of regret. It’s endless. I watched flowers with you. I kissed you. We’ve talked about the rest of our lives. And in the end, we had to go back to square one and return to being friends. Or worse, we’ll have nothing to do with each other. Time seemed to move on, but nothing changes. When I look into your eyes again, I almost remember one night, you nervously asked if you could kiss me.”
“Yeah, everyone says you can just enjoy the process, but all anyone cares about is the results.”
“Thank God I’m not the one who can’t move on.”
“We’ve done such intimate things together. We’ve shown our bodies and our hearts to each other. And now we’re strangers? I can’t even describe this feeling. It’s really weird. We’re not open friends, we’re not really lovers. You ask me what love s, and I don’t know how to respond. I just know that the day you held my hand and said you loved me, I thought that I would love you back no matter how hard it was.”
“Every time I remember the first time we kissed, my heart still skips a beat.”
“It’s not scary to miss the bus or get on the wrong bus. What’s scary is refusing to get off the bus because you already paid 2 bucks.”
“The moment I had my first kiss, it was during a quiet nap. We both had our winter jackets over our heads under the security cameras. In the vague dimness, you were so close to me. Your breath was a little wet, and you planted your universe on my lips.”
“Do you get it? From the sweat in our palms the first time we held hands, to the lingering kiss when we parted, from the moment I left you, my life has been at a standstill, frozen in that moment when I picked up the puppy and said, “One more person loves you now.””
“The passionate gaze and careful kiss and the impatience and eagerness to leave all came from the same person.”
“Why did no one tell me that using baking soda ruins the flavour of meat? I used to use corn starch, but I came upon this post that said baking soda makes the meat tenderer. I tried it out today and it tasted all alkaline-y, there’s no beef taste at all. What a waste of all this beef.”
“I saw this paper before was about meat tenderisation. They mentioned this problem with using corn starch or baking soda to tenderise beef. It’ll remove the “beefy” flavour. They figured out that the best way to tenderise beef is actually with ginger juice! There’s some kind of enzyme in it that breaks down beef and makes it tender without destroying the flavour. I tried it out and it was amazing! Super fragrant and tender! Just marinade the beef in ginger juice and other spices for about 15 minutes before cooking.”
“The easiest way to juice ginger, btw, is to put raw ginger into the freezer until it’s frozen solid, then put it in room temperature and wait for it to thaw. It’ll get super cold and explode with juice as soon as you squeeze it.”
“Another way to make chicken breasts tenderer is to use eggs. Separate the whites and yolk and use the whites to rub the chicken breast. It’s so tender.”
“I see that professional chefs will massage green onion and ginger juice into beef and then add corn starch, and then use an oil sear to lock in the moisture.”
“Don’t add baking soda, just add meat tenderiser powder. There’s papaya enzymes in there that work even better.”
