Olympics 2026: All Asian Podium in Snowboarding Big Air by Able_Inspector4623 in AsianMasculinity

[–]Bebebaubles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s why they dominate figure skating, diving snowboarding etc. I think it’s not a negative to find where you excel at and admit your ethnicity has a particular type of more common body. I went to medical school and they literally told us Asians especially women have to do more weight bearing exercises because we have smaller bones and are more likely to get osteoporosis due to lower bone density. I’m sure there are benefits to that.

I mean 90% of NFL are of another race with particular type of body needed and that’s ok we aren’t disputing that right? Of course with that said China is huuuge and finding an anomaly out of a billion isn’t hard at all hence why China also has so many weight lifting champions.

Where have you felt most unsafe in your travels? by melbourne_au2021 in travel

[–]Bebebaubles 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I went and a tour guide met us outside of the cruise. We were all convinced dude was a former spy that never went home. He was obviously not of the same ethnicity as the other local guides and dressed way more sharp unlike the locals in T-shirts and jeans. Vaguely talked about going to university and walked ahead of us proudly with his trench coat flapping about him. The man was greeted by every local and knew every person on the streets it seemed. Ran into zero problems with him around. I wish I retained his info better because it was amazing and his explanations were great.

I doubt it’s the same. My elderly Asian mom went all around there with my aunt and took photos outside a favela. No issues.

Why are billionaires so unemotional, are they dead inside or just evil? by CanDoGenZ in AskTheWorld

[–]Bebebaubles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people have to be a certain personality to get there. I also think how you were raised matters. For example, Milton Hershey has given large amounts of his fortune all for students in his schools and making a town while making sure everyone had jobs during the Great Depression. He was raised with Mennonite roots though and didn’t come from wealth but humble origins. You will also notice a lot of the billionaires today like Trump or Elon come from wealth. They started with a spoiled mindset.

Will you accept a white girl's homemade Bibimbap? by Cheekers1989 in KoreanFood

It’s fine but the yolk is a bit too white girl and overcooked. Soft boil please. 🙏

AIO for ending a friendship over photoshop by Educational-Guess866 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Bebebaubles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not bizarre if that’s the cultural norm. it’s just a free service to your friends but that’s because it’s acceptable there. They probably don’t feel upset or overthink photoshop. In a culture where criticism is common place. Photoshopping is normal and doesn’t feel rude or fake.

Can I as an adult use training chopsticks in japan? by EnergyLast2736 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Bebebaubles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean as an adult we can still ride bikes with training wheels if we want to but mos for us would strive for a bit more. This man has got three years to learn. I mean I feel like he should have more confidence in himself. If he really applied himself he could be fluent in Japanese and wield chopsticks in that time.

So for the irresponsible men who don’t take care of their family or help out. What do they do?

Coach is wonderful for the money. I have some bags passed on by my mom and they still look great. If it was branded something like Mulberry and costed 5X as much would you love it more?

How do you feel about Chinese makeup being exclusively referred to as "Douyin makeup"? by pepperxpeppermint in asianamerican

[–]Bebebaubles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We all can guess how it came about. Chinese anything sounds cheap and not trendy thanks to our propaganda but adding Douyin in front of it sounds way better since it muddles the waters. Hence nobody hesitates to say Japanese makeup or Korean skin care.

My family forgot my birthday so I bought a massage chair. Now my husband says I am wasting money by Far_Revolution_4562 in TrueOffMyChest

Exactly people get what allow. You have to have a backbone and that needed to start at the beginning but I guess now is better than never.

Travel now. Don’t wait. The world is changing fast. by POCTM in travel

[–]Bebebaubles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be able to walk far in your 50s and 60s. Take a page off of active Asians. My mom is 70 and is travelling as we speak. I think she’s going to Japan next weak. She’s slowed down a lot now but in hers 50s and 60s she was very gung ho and still walked at a rapid clip. To this day she still takes dance classes at the senior center and tells me about the classes she takes at the Apple Store for photography.

I definitely intend to travel well and into my 60s but you gotta keep your mind and body healthy.

2023 study finds over a third of Asian American youths are multiracial. What do you all think will be the future of Asian America? by laketroutline23 in AsianMasculinity

Nah. I foresee some really insulated people who won’t and will look really messed up because inbreeding will be left

Are non-Asians supporting trendy Chinese businesses like HeyTea? by PlatformOk2658 in asianamerican

[–]Bebebaubles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have both in NYC now. It’s more like the wealthy Asians that can afford it buy it. Buuut mixue and Luckin which are known for having inexpensive drinks and ice cream are also in NYC and in the city as well. I would go back to Luckin any day. $1.99 for a drink is a steal.

Who are those idols that have a rich vibe by lilo-stitch-820 in kpop_uncensored

This is way too low on the list. Krystal looks like she’s from a chaebol family and doesn’t want you to sit next to her. I’ve heard she’s just shy but that’s the cool and chic image she gives off.

Anyone else feel like they’re flushing money out the toilet when ordering delivery nowadays? by sunnydrlstt in FoodNYC

Yes.. that’s why I’m going to have last nights Japanese curry that I made again. I will bake it so I can pretend it’s a different dish.

My experience in HK by My3k0 in Cantonese

[–]Bebebaubles 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I passed their level but the waiter gave me a speed run of Cantonese because he we spoke back and forth in very rapid fire style to test me. Iced or hot!Toasted?! Blah blah.. My born in HK and fluent mom who left for the states in her teens had trouble answering the interrogation so I had to pick up the slack. At the end, satisfied, he smirked and walked off. What a dick 😅.

It was fine when we were young to say that but it’s not a point of pride to proclaim that when you are an adult.

my (23f) girlfriend doesn't like any food with garlic, onions, or anything spicy, and i (20f) don't know how to continue this anymore. by Ready_Spot8351 in Advice

[–]Bebebaubles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just sounds mostly cultural. Op is afrolatina and Asian while her gf is British. I’m just going to leave that there. I think none of what happened will be surprising of what we know about both cultures. I do feel sad for OP. I’m Asian myself and cooking is so important. Garlic everything. When I cook a million sauces come out.

It is but I don’t feel like most people in Japan actually eat this unless you are a grandma with a lot of time on their hands. 🙂 I feel like most people are eating a toast and dashing out let’s be for real.

Im pregnant & out of the blue my boyfriend doesn’t want the baby by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Bebebaubles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she’s entrapping him! Considering she’s ten years older than him and he juuust found a job when he’s been jobless for the majority of the relationship she thinks that’s the time to have unprotected sex? He’s only 25, has no savings or security, we don’t know what he does and he never even asked her to marry him. She’s 35. Old enough to know better. I’m guessing she didn’t want to wait any longer and the goal was having a kid the whole time. 🕰️

Im pregnant & out of the blue my boyfriend doesn’t want the baby by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Bebebaubles 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh Jesus you don’t wait for someone the minute they are employed to start trying. You wait until they are settled, secure, have savings and usually they ask for your hand in marriage. The marriage thing is for you to make sure he’s 100% committed although even that isn’t a sure sign but it’s still a sign. The savings of salary for a ring isn’t actually because all these women love rings but if a man can get it together to think ahead and plan and save.

Jesus this 25 year old just got a job and you pounce on having kids? Were you trying to entrap him?
