It's over Russiabros. Time to annex the current illegimate terrorist state called Russia and return it to the only legitimate and rightful successor of Tsarist Russia that was illegally occupied by bolshevist criminals, murderers and rapists.

I visited /hs/ just out of curiosity, saw CP there and immediately deleted my cache. Fuck IB users, why do they flood every IB with CP?

How the hell are bananas so cheap ay my local grocery store despite being grown thousands of miles away? They are cheaper by weight than apples or even potatoes which were grown just a few hours drive away

A few months ago when hispa refugees flooded KC, there was even a Bolivian (apparently they are very rare on IBs) and he was quite nice. I enjoyed talking to him. I wonder where he went...

I can't wait to move out in a year and leave the sonbasket behind me. I'm so excited to finally take my life into my own hands. I'm already imagining all the things I could do. The biggest thing for me is leaving Germany, I'm unsure, whether it's a good plan. It shoul be well prepared as it would be a life-changing step. Maybe I will even find a girl in the future, who knows? Probably not, who am I kidding. ;_; It's good to have a future and plans, Bernd. That shit keeps you alive.

It is almost 50% cheaper to buy a new hair clipper on amazon that was manfactured in Indonesia ($11) than it is to just replace my lost charging cable on my US manufactured
clippers ($20)
Then of course as I am browsing i see some overpriced german made "precision" clippers with a cool sleek shiny design for $300

Who was in the right here, /int/?
I honestly think that Eddie was doing the best he could. Sure, Lao is correct when it comes to neglect of what the Belgians left to the Congolese, but when it comes to Eddie's sloppy job it was about the absence of work ethic in Congo in general rather than his personal fault.

> Could you provide any examples of situations where the Chinese missed to take notes
I think this goes to any sort of interactions they had with the locals. They didn't come up with a way to motivate these people to work and not abandon their job, and they cheaped out on every basic comfort they could realistically provide (from food to accommodation) to keep people interested in doing their job properly.
> What I also failed to mention in my previous post: the radio host was definitely my favorite character.
Indeed, as it brings up the most interesting topic: the Congolese don't care, they know they are lazy and "useless" in Western terms, but they enjoy their careless lifestyle and this is one of the things that the Chinese will never be able to understand, they cannot grasp the kind of mindset where being successful is not a sort of a "religious goal", and neither can the Chinese understand a mindset where it isn't.
"American Factory" for sure. It's the same story more or less: a comparison of work ethics of two different civilizations (the Chinese are involved, again) that have to work together, only to find out they're barely compatible. Except for both parties are actually competent this time.
I was definitely on the American side although it's obvious that the old proletariat is doomed. And by who? By those who claim to be "communist". Very dramatic movie.
