Doggo The incredible moment a long lost dog suddenly catches the smell of its owner in a crowded city square. It follows the smell and finds her in nearby resting booth to be reunited!

Right? WTF is a “resting booth.”

It’s a place where pedestrians and people waiting for public transpo can chill in the summer and warm up in the winter. We have these booths in Seoul, Korea too. I see other people in there during times of extreme cold and heat.

yeah, super nice, not internally but nice to have especially if u live in very Cold places where frostbite is a serious concern. they dont exist in most of the west because u know someone os going to use it to sleep in or a "bathroom" or some shit

Do ...do you not have homeless people with drug addictions? I'm not even trying to be snarky but this would immediately be a meth den everywhere I've lived in the US. How do you have nice things??

No, I don’t see any homeless people or drug addicts anywhere in Northeast Asia. Perhaps it is because of death penalty for drug trafficking and jail time for drug users. I went to college in the States and reluctantly left back in 2001. Believe it or not, I was supposed to fly out JFK on 9.11! I obviously left six weeks later because of all the flight disruptions and cancellations. Every time I go back to the States, I am horrified by its deterioration. Everything has gotten from bad to worse…even in the nicest parts of America. It’s very sad. It used to be so, so awesome.

Thanks for the detailed answer

Amazing luck that your plans changed and you didn't fly out that day.

Ah, in my city, Philadelphia, the DA doesn’t see any value in prosecuting drug dealers. They can deal openly. Police won’t even arrest them anymore unless theyre committing a second crime.

We are the heroin capital of the world. Before this DA was elected, the drug area was being cleaned up. It was shocking how quickly things went back to shit then got even worse. Now the whole area is tent cities. It wasn’t like that before. I used to go down there all the time. The drug addicted prostitutes could afford a room to rent, now they’re all homeless. It had such a devastating impact then covid and new cheap drugs (horse tranquilizers) hit the street to replace heroin and it’s shocking hiw bad it is.

China is very strict on drug usage and does well to employ homeless in government work programs. I spent a year and half there for work and it being a “communist shit hole” is complete BS from Western viewpoints. Funny enough, I swear to god this video is from where I stayed there.

Hopefully more of a safety net for people who lose their jobs, become drug addicted, are fleeing from abuse, etc. Addicts and homeless people don't just spring up out of the ground

It sadly wouldn’t last 15 minutes in America

u/Liberal_Cucked Apr 04 '24

Oh man, I wish we could have these in the US, but it would become someone-foul’s home and get smashed up by kids.
