Is that a fucking Costco? DO THEY HAVE COSTCO IN CHINA?
Fuck it how do you emigrate to China Xi please I'm a total fuck up but I'm a good poster and it probably won't take me more than, idk, 15-20 year to learn Mandarin.

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

i wish China would just take like idk one of the shittier parts of China and make a Cracker Semi Autonomous Zone where all the good communist anglos can go live without having to learn their intimidatingly difficult language 
p.s. nobody bother telling me how actually chinese is super easy to learn, sorry I'm not built for it, if you can say the exact same word with two different intonations and it means totally different things I'm not going to get it. I have difficulty with tone in english. If I have to essentially memorize thousands of little pictures to read, I'm not getting it. Sorry my dumb cracker brain can't deal with more than 26 letters (i mean I guess it can, it can handle german, but that's only like, 5 more letters, ez)
good [...] anglos
NICE TRY 
typical anglo maneuver, censoring vital information
Eh, language comes with practice and effort. It is never really easy. But it is easier and more organic if you are [n place. It is also possible to speak a language and not really be able to write it, not ideal of course, but not the end of the world. Language is not something that needs to be prefect to use, it is a tool, for communication. It just needs to be good enough for that.
In my experience an interaction, even when both parties have no common language, does not start exactly from 0. Communication is more complex than that.
It is similar to how each dog has the same body language, no matter where they are from. Humans are like that as well(to some extent). People are people wherever you go. We are all the same species. It is not some alien planet.
Sure, but I can guesswork a lot of latinate languages because I know English etymology. China on the other hand I don't have a clue... they might as well be speaking Chinese.
I mean, noone is born speaking mandarin. And I certainly don't have the energy currently to do it myself, but by saying learning it is impossible, you make it so. You could take decades if you wanted to, you learn for yourself, there doesn't need to be any pressure to conform to any standard. Just do what you want,approach it in a way that seems enjoyable to you. Maybe you could start with movies(with eng, subtitles) or music in chinese, so you could get used to the language melody. And it's more fun and accessible than learning vocabs.
Learning a language is most fun if it goes along with a cultural understanding.
(Edit: also english has a lot more than 26 phoenetics, don't sell yourself short)

Congratulations on re-inventing the concept of a foreign concession.
cool story
Thanks, I thought it up when I was reading about foreign concessions and the unequal treaties of the Century of Humiliation.
Whatever the shittiest job of all time is, I’d spend the rest of my life doing it in a heartbeat if it meant I could spend the rest of my life in a country that isn’t evil and actually has hope.
Yeah that's the gist of it, but i love people being like idk "you're a super colonizer for this" or whatever i've been @d with tonight
I’m too drunk to get into it, but there is a serious site culture hangover from the subreddit. The dunk addicts who lack reading comprehension are a part of it. Nothing wrong with either of the two qualities in isolation, but when it combines…
costco is garbage but walmart in china is surprisingly good.
death to american brands though
I dont need a costco membership im a single person not a family of six
I dont need 35 of anything yet but the food court hotdog is what I wanna get
Only $1.50 they dont make a profit, I dont want the soda but I'll take I guess
Got them as a kid and I haven't progressed
Costco hotdogs really are the best
These lyrics go hard
wow they got bepis
Xi cut a deal with Kendall Jenner to supply China with bepis to suppress revolutionary uprisings
breadline, also glizzyline
oh hell yeah still a dollar fifty dog in China
No longer a good deal though
Wdym? In China, you have a good purchasing power there?
for 11 rmb you can get actual real food like a big bowl of noodles or some rice and veg
It costs a premium to get the authentic american experience of being bloated with mystery chemicals
10 yuan for a fking hotdog?
Those prices suck for China
Western fast food is always a kinda luxury in these places(aka not the west), the stores are in the fancier neighbourhoods and the clientel are the local upper middle class(more or less, not exactly).
sixty five dollars for a pizza? xi better get that shit under control.
*yuan
66 yuan = 9.11 dollars
NINE* dollars for a pizza? xi better get that shit under control.
Mr President a second pizza!!!! (Has landed on my plate)
that coconut pineapple smoothie looks fucking delicious
dot hog
I like only having 1 decimal place value.
