Sry to disturb this great discussion on shitposting but I just chopped onions without crying for the first time!

The trick is to not care what they say about you. You have to believe that you're a valuable human being.

Also I wore my swimming goggles.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I thought that was a myth. Never cried cutting onions. Except that one time when I got Jalepeno in my eye beforehand (making salsa obviously).

I teach adults for a company chain of learning centres, so none of that stuff happens to me. I can't imagine that it has stopped though, chinese people being who they are. Straight-up salaries aren't as great as they used to be, mostly because of rising living costs and they haven't risen to meet them, and I know most places now in Beijing actually require you to have certifications and qualifications to be a teacher, unlike years ago when you could show up with a white face and get a job instantly.

I'm Canadian Chinese, born and raised, spent 2 years learning basic mandarin in uni, here to master it. Teaching English, yes.

I heard it's harder to get a English teaching job if you're chinese, and they usually prefer white dudes instead, is there truth to this?


It took me 3 months to find a job, even after being in Beijing in person. Most of the job offers want you to send a photo with your offer (many asking specifically for white women for whatever reason?) for this reason exactly. I was lucky enough to sign on with an international company that also hires local chinese staff, so they don't mind expats looking like me, but the difficulties are all you heard and more, chinese people are racist as hell.

I cry like a little b*tch every time I've cut onions before without swimming goggles. My goggles also cover my nose.

But it hurt a bit after I took the goggles off to cut other things. First time homemade pasta sauce!

It's not a myth, but it depends on the airflow in your kitchen really. If the juice from the onions is getting into your eyes it makes you cry. If it's not you won't!

Science.

Alright. I figured as much. I heard all these stories from family friends and some news article so I had no idea how bad the situation was.

Knife sharpness also matter a lot. A tip if you are cutting a lot of onions (like, restaurant amounts) is to have a pitcher of water to dip the knife inbetween each onion.

IIRC the trick is that the onion tear gas is soluble in water, no? so if you cut it with a wet knife or underwater it won't get into the air.

Or you can just stop being a bitch and cut onions?

I've never had a problem and I use a meat cleaver for most of my cutting because honing/washing/drying my chef knife for quickly chopping a few things is cumbersome

Onions are delicious and nutritious and you are a heretic. All praise the onion king

(Also cold moist onion with sharp knife is the best way if you care enough)
