… it’s not as creepy as it sounds …The only way for that statement to be correct is for it to be creepier than it sounds. And frankly, it is way creepier.
Yeah... facial recognition in China? I have it on good authority that when God was making people, he was carefully making everyone look different.
He was really tired and when he started on China he said. “aw, screw it”...
In Japan Colonel Sanders is a stand-in for Santa Claus.

So everyone in China doesn’t look the same??
I had a college prof who spent time in Japan. She said the reason Japanese have such unwrinkled facial skin is that they very seldom show emotion. She said the weirdest thing was riding a bullet train and looking back over her shoulder at all the faces of the riders behind her. The uniformly blank faces were unnerving.
Makes me re-think the attitude of aborigines who feared that photographs stole their soul.
Creepy
The Chinese don’t like to lose face now...and with this if they lose face they can’t even buy a bucket of chicken.
My brother came to town for a visit and we went out to eat at an oriental restaurant. Now, my boss at work was Korean and we worked for the Japanese company Konica, so I saw Japanese for time to time.
The hostess at the restaurant had flat cheeks of Koreans, but a little more rounded, as Japanese. I figured she was from somewhere between Japan and Korea, so just for the hell of it, I asked her if she was from Hong Kong. She was. My brother couldn’t believe I could tell a difference. LOL
Surveillance society writ large.
remarkable!
I don't know how things are now ,but when I was in China back in '97 it became a game to dodge the Internal Security Police with their 35mm Cameras taking your picture every time you got off a Train or Aircraft.
They went bonkers if you managed to dodge them.
Which was fun. :)
Never been there, not sure I’d want to go, but it bugs me to think that I’m being watched.
If I were being watched, I would just have to do something utterly weird just to p!ss off who ever was watching! :)
No big deal. Everybody already knows that
little Tsing Tao will always order the Poodle McNuggets
Happy (at work) Meal.
I still recall how as kids we almost always fought over the skin as it was absoultely the best part of eating it.
Now alas, it's been bought & resold 6 times now and the current owner Yum foods only cares about profits and cut back on the ingredients.
Just so you place them back in view after 10 minutes or so! :)
You’re never going to find that sock!
Sure I will! It is in the dryer! Of course!
