      The wording of spam used by "Sweet Basil" is the same as that always used by "BeijingGenocideOlympics2022". The poor bot farm peons and Sepoys are assigned their own spam. Sometimes things get confused when an operator takes over a moniker. This results in “Arabicetc” posting spam assigned to “Lastetc"/ "lastetc"/ "verylastetc"/ "nextlastetc"/bestlastetc , and vice versa. "nicholasfoong" uses the spam of "Ahmetetc" and “Mohammed Kumar”/“Hkchinese”/”wynn” . "nicholasfoong" is new, so must be low down in the bot farm hierarchy and has not been given its own spam to play with. Either that or it is an independent bot that is bereft of its own ideas. And special mention to “misterbig”, the Sinophobic bot farm one.

      It means they sell not only alcohol and nobody drink till drop there, so still somewhat family friendly

      Not really. I've been to various breweries and pubs where they even had kids menus. They rather like the business.

    That beer... I got to try it when touring around China this year
    Just awful, no taste, no flavor, almost no alcohol hit, and overwhelming amount of foam for no reason
    Obviously it's only true if the one I got is the real deal, but I'm not risking myself in NK just for that beer
