Stuff from China itself is a weird mix. There are some things that worked as well as its price tag, i.e. breaks easily. Other times, they last for extraordinary long periods of time that I have to wonder what I just bought.

I have flashlights that broke within a few weeks, while there are Tiger-brand ones that took multiple hits and was still kicking.


Quite true. I sometimes buy stuff from Wish, and IIRC, Wish's storefronts are all in China. Some of their merchandise is quite well made and lasts a long time, other not so much and it can be a bit of a lottery on how good the quality of what you buy is.

Whoops, my funny bone doesn't reliably kick in until 10am!

In my defence, the skit for the Chinese is cocaine and after trading hours booze in my neck of the woods. :p

Quarter of an hour into the workday and already two lengthy cross-office work-irrelevant political diatribes by the higher-ups.

I've reconciled myself to the fact that if I participated I'd probably get fired so it's better to keep schtum, but still, shush.

How else are you going to make the bloodstained money earned with narcotics, human trafficking and terrorism squeaky clean again? For more information, call ING.

Jokes on her. She was declawed by her former owners. :p

She calmed down as soon as I sat down and pet her head. She’s attention whoring this morning.
